  Have you ever been to a movie and in the opening credits the phrase "Based on a True Story" appears?  Well here are 7 movies based on true stories but the movies were complete bullshit.  Et tu, Rudy?  I also love how 21 was probably the biggest whitewash in Hollywood history.

  One of my favorite type of commercial is the Public Service Announcements.  For instance the classic: "This is your brain.  This is your brain on drugs."  Here are some unsettling PSAs from around the world.  I have seen the one entitled Homosexual Scourge before this list was made.  Some of those old time sex ed videos are so scary.  I would have been such a confused teenager sitting in any sex ed class especially if we had to watch this.

  While I am on the topic of sex, here are some sex myths explained with science.  Is it any wonder that Christians want to get rid of science from public schools.  Scientists study...gasp...sex!

  The Isthmus, a newspaper in Madison, has an article about the strangest food ever conceived by mankind.  It's called lutefisk.  No way in hell do you want to get downwind of that crap.  How the hell do the Scandanavians think that it would be smart to dump lye on to fish and then eat it.  I can't get that smell out of my head.
  
  A funny ID picture turned into a manhunt.  God, I wish I had my student id from my senior year.  The photographer wasn't too concerned about how we smiled since the yearbook had our senior pics.  A couple friends and I vied for the title of most insane picture.  My photo of a constipated person straining or Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk wasn't the winner.  I have to track that down.

  Remember those old collectible sports figurines called Starting Lineup?  Well here is a quiz to test your ability at identifying the Starting Lineup athlete being portrayed.  I only post this because this week I found a box in my attic containing some of my old Starting Lineup figures: Paul Molitor, B.J. Surhoff, Teddy Higuera, Hershel Walker, Magic Johnson, Lou Gehrig, John Kruk, and Roger Clemens still in the original packaging.  Teddy Higuera is the best.

  A few weeks ago I posted a link to some horrible Olan Mills family portraits.  Well here are some more.

  I think this is the saddest news story I have ever read.  I think AA is in the future for that family.

  In the past, I have posted links to sites that involved chaos in the microwave.  Here is another video of a kid causing a microwave to explode but don't worry, no food was wasted.

  Do you have a family member that is near impossible to shop for?  Is that family member bald?  Do you want to make them look like a douche bag?  Well buy them this hair flair.

  I know this made the run over at the theologianscafe however I thought it was good enough to post a link to the actual discussion forum.  That is really sad.   I can't think of anything I have lied about...oh yeah, a neighbor and I, while in 5th grade, decided it would be cool to cut down a tree.  We got a hand saw and started sawing one of his parents maple trees.  His mom came home and started screaming.  I said, "I think my mom is calling me."(two blocks away...she could yell that loud).

  Want to know what Bill O'Reilly is reading this Christmas season?  Well, you can read the books on his reading list but hopefully you won't turn into a hate monger.

  Here is a collection of videos that answers the question: can the musicians who wrote the songs for Guitar Hero, actually play them on Guitar Hero?

  According to this quiz, my cats are plotting to kill me.

  Well that is all for tonight.
