It’s Friday! You know what that means? It’s time for everyone’s favorite time-waster, the Friday Fun Blog! This week’s Fun Blog is brought to you by Stuff and Things.
On to the links!
-Remember the hilarious and intensely creepy “Too Many Cooks” from Adult Swim? Well, CNN repurposed that for the 2016 presidential election . Hopefully in this version, the general populace is the killer and we take out all the crappy candidates one by one. Smarf for President!
-Here’s a list of 10 of the greatest giant robots of all time . I can’t believe they left off The Terminator; sure he wasn’t a “giant” but gosh darn it he had the BIGGEST HEART OF ALL.
– Check out this dude Pop ‘N Lock in a glow-in-the-dark Tron -style suit. If this is the future, the future is ILL AS F*CK.
– Obligatory Space Post of the Week : There was a solar eclipse recently, and it wasn’t the best . The view from earth was cloudy and overcast, not the best environment to check out a sweet eclipse. However, the European Space Agency was able to get a pretty decent snap using their satellite’s ultraviolet lenses to capture images that show the sun’s corona (not the beer) projecting from behind.
-Originally this space was to post about an interesting slideshow of the meals Doomsday Prepper’s would eat if there ever was a need to get in your underground bunker. Pretty interesting, until I realized the photographer also did a slideshow of the last meals of people on death row , which is WAAAAAAAAAAY more interesting than a few crazy people who think that China is going to cause a financial collapse. The creepiest part: “He left his pecan pie, telling a guard he was ‘saving it for later’.” Ohhhhhh, snap!
-Dear Millenials (including me, I guess?):
Silicon Valley wants you to die
.
-Starting next week, you can ride a bus that is fueled by poop —specifically, your poop. That’s right, on March 25 th , if you live or work in Bristol, UK, you can take a bus that is fueled by the waste of 32,000 local households. The energy source is renewable—depending on your burrito intake—and produces less emissions than most diesel-powered buses. Hooray for poop!
And finally…
-Speaking of poop, here’s a fun calculator that lets you know how much you’re earning every time you take a bathroom break. I make $2.67 per bathroom break, by the way.
Enjoy your weekend!
