Bridge the Gap
A tiny little flash animation which chronicles the attempts of a stick figure to cross a chasm. Highly enjoyable, attempt #15 is my favorite.
The Amazing Race: Family Edition
The Amazing Race has reduced the age-requirement for contestants from 21 years to 8 years of age. They've done this in anticipating of The Amazing Race: Family Edition, in which familes of four race around the world competing for 1 million dollars.
Should be interesting - though it makes me wonder if this radical change in format herald the demise of The Amazing Race. Probably not, though it does kind of seem like when a sitcom brings in a new character (usually in the form of a baby) to try to breath life into an old idea.
The United States of Fear
Why oh why? Why does the American government feel that it needs to scare the crap out of their citizens ever second of every day? I just read this Yahoo article about the Terrorist Scenario Security Report from the Department of Homeland Security (which I will now refer to as De Ho Security because it's funny), where they outline potential methods of terrorist attacks.
I'm reading this article and thinking if I was a terrorist some of these things sound pretty good. They should have just called the report "A Guide to Attacking America: Things You May Not Have Thought Of". I'm glad I'm Canadian. The only time I'm afraid of leaving my house is when the weather is in the subzero temperatures. Brrrrr!!!!
