Stephen Hawking Sings in New Discovery Channel Commercial, “The World Is Just Awesome”

April 18, 2008 by procrastin8later

I love this new Discovery Channel commercial.

Not only is the commercial very well done, but they manage to cram in a cameo from every Discovery Channel star I love. The list includes singing stints from:

The big cameos are from Mike Rowe, Bear Grylls, and Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters (Adam politely sets Jamie on fire while singing).

Applying to College, Part 1: 4 Quick Tips to Get You Started

March 12, 2008 by procrastin8later

1. First thing’s first, I want you to think about when you think you should start the whole application process. Go ahead, pick a date. Got it?

Ok, now the date you should actually start the application process is about 2-3 months before the date you chose, if not sooner. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a lifelong procrastinator; hell, I could write 100 articles on procrastination alone if I ever got around to it – but that fact does not make what I’m saying any less relevant.

Very Unofficial Study Concludes Ramen Noodles Best and Worst College Food Ever Made

March 4, 2008 by procrastin8later

Ramen should be treated with caution and reverence – to do otherwise would be suicidal. This is a food product that is ready to eat in 3 minutes, can be cooked in a microwave, coffeepot, hotpot, or heated boot and has a disturbingly high calorie-to-size ratio. If you’re feeling daring, you can even use one of the long noodles to impress the ladies by holding on to one end of the noodle, snorting the rest of it up your nose and then magically pulling the other end out of your mouth. You’re welcome.

College Advice That Could Save Your Life

March 2, 2008 by procrastin8later

GO SOMEWHERE WARM.

Why can this save your life? You should have asked me that 3 hours ago when I was sitting in my car, which itself was sitting on top of 5 small trees and a collection of flattened shrubbery.

A Dog Cannot Live on Ramen Noodles and Beer: 6 Things to Consider Before Getting a Dog at College

February 22, 2008 by procrastin8later

It’s hard for me to write this because I argued with my roommates for hours about why we should get a dog, but I eventually gave up. I almost had them convinced, but they were using some silly tactic known as cold, hard logic, while the heart of my argument was essentially “…but I really want one!” In such a case, logic usually prevails over elementary pleading. So now I’m writing this in the hopes that others in a similar situation can hear the facts from a fellow irrational dog-lover. I hate to say it, but here are 6 reasons why it’s not such a good idea to make a Golden Retriever your new roommate.

Bored? Maybe a random video will cheer ya up!

February 18, 2008 by procrastin8later

YouTube has a new feature that helps users find videos they actually like instead of having to sort through 15 videos of a cat getting stuck in a container to find 1 video that actually makes you chuckle.

I now have a page that shows a pseudo-random YouTube video every time you visit. YouTube selects which videos to show, based on my site’s content, so we can all hopefully avoid having to watch any more videos of feline tomfoolery.

Go ahead -Click here to watch a video chosen just for you!

The Dangers of Swallowing Cinnamon

February 12, 2008 by procrastin8later

I saw a funny video awhile ago that made me laugh out loud, which was kind of strange because I was all alone. A typical web video usually only makes me smile, or chuckle softly at the most, but seeing a girl think she was in danger of dying from a tablespoon of cinnamon was absolutely hilarious. The video was of a girl trying to disprove the myth that you can’t swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon without drinking anything. Being the educated people we are, I challenged my roommate to best her feeble attempt, he accepted, and this video is the result.

Two Life-Changing Videos – Buhlud video & Charlie Bit Me

February 12, 2008 by procrastin8later

BUH LUD Video!

OK, I lied. The only way that this first video changed my life is I now have something new and annoying to yell while my roommates are trying to do work. It did, however, save me from the gloom of after-bar boredom last weekend, and for that it should be recognized as great.
