Support Our Poops

Support Our Poops is a movement to draw attention to the fact that one in 17 people in this country will develop colorectal cancer at some point in their life. About half of those people will lose their life because of it. However, simple routine screenings can drastically improve your chances of beating colon cancer.

To help spread the word, these Support Our Poops stickers act as “poopaganda”, serving to remind people of the importance of their bowel movement.

Isn’t it time you joined the fight?

Though I’m admittedly not a fontophile, these two, called Value Pack (by Robert Bolesta) and Alphabet Truck (by Eric Tabuchi), are definitely typography gone right.

Stabilized Bigfoot

By stabilizing and aligning each frame, you can view Bigfoot like never before.

Zapruder also did something similar for the JFK assassination, though that one’s a bit tougher to handle.

EepyBird Sticky Note Experiment

EepyBird, the two man team that brought you the Diet Coke and Mentos Experiment, is back in the lab, and this time they’ve teamed up with ABC’s Samurai Girl to bring you The Extreme Sticky Note Experiments:

Though it’s not as surprising as the Diet Coke and Mentos video, it’s definitely impressive/beautiful, makes you look at Sticky Notes in a whole new light.

Toilet Licker

Need to demonstrate the cleanliness of a hotel room?

Forget scientific tests, black lights and Petri dishes.

All it takes is a girl, her tongue, and a complete lack of oral hygiene.

OCDers and germaphobes, turn away now…

(Be sure to check out extstay.com for more tongue-tastic taste tests.

…Paris Hilton is running for president?

Though it’s easy to dismiss her as a dumb blond that just got lucky, I’ve always felt that Paris Hilton might just have us all fooled. She’s taken a rich father, good looks, and a hard partying lifestyle and managed to turn herself into a brand name, a self-made millionaire, and a media darling by just being Paris. She’s survived a sex tape, a prison stint, more controversy and accusations than a Michael Jackson day care center, and yet still manages to capture headlines at will.

Her latest move into the spotlight involved a brief and unapproved clip in the middle of a John McCain ad.

Not to be outdone, Paris fired back with an ad of her own, announcing her run for presidency, and a surprisingly fluid solution to the gas crisis.

Never one to waste an opportunity, she also managed to squeeze in a full minute of bikini-clad eye candy, and enough “that’s hot” to make a mix tape.

Think she doesn’t know where her money making talents are?

Bowser\'s Minions

Any Super Mario fan will definitely appreciate the humor in Bowser’s Minions.

For me, the sounds and the long lost characters brought back flashbacks of childhood gaming, and I loved the idea of Mario’s enemies grouping together and revolting against the restrictions placed upon them by Bowser/Nintendo to keep the game playable.

Definitely another CollegeHumor classic.

…Halo corpses can spell?

Halo Corpse Alphabet

It takes dedication to make an entire alphabet out of Halo corpses, but takes a little bit of crazy to then add in numbers, and even a few punctuation marks.

The original goal of the Halo Corpse Alphabet (a self-described macabre project) was to represent every letter of the alphabet with the twisted, curved, stretched, and otherwise dead Spartan and Elite bodies from Halo 3.

Apparently the Halo community was more than willing to take on this task, as they quickly jumped on board and cranked out letter after letter for the amusement of all.

If you liked the San Francisco toothpick tour, then check out this hand cranked machine made entirely out of wood and glue (no nails or screws).

The video takes you step by step through each one of the functions, and it’s impressive to think that you can build something like this with a lot of time and determination.
