Why isn’t this guy more famous?

I just bought one of these guys for a video I’m working on next week:

It’s a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula. This start out nicely, but ends up being horrifying:

HANDLING

Rose hairs are among the most docile and even-tempered of all tarantula species. However, as with any tarantula, it should be remembered that rose hairs are venomous, even if only slightly so. Most humans suffer no systemic effects from a rose hair bite, instead experiencing localized pain, itching, and burning. Unfortunately, every person will react differently, and you will not know if you have a problem until after the fact.

Finally, someone found a way to make porn completely safe for work. Seriously, show this to your boss, he’ll think it’s totally chill:

From Ricky Van Veen, co-founder and editor of College Humor:

After hearing Matt Damon’s brilliant comparison of a Sarah Palin presidency to a bad Disney movie, I called up Sam (Director of CHTV original content) and said “Let’s make a trailer for what that movie would look like.” Within hours, Dan and Amir (CHTV writers) were writing it, Ben (CHTV producer) and the CHTV crew were casting and producing it, and two weeks later, here it is.

Just FYI, www.Keytarded.com is already taken. And it seems to be just a blog, which is such a shame.

I guess I was hoping for some kind of keytar-enthusiast-weirdo hub of, well, all thing keytar.

And since www.Keytarded.com is certainly not that, PLEASE, someone get to making one!

Or maybe a www.KeytarConfessions.com-type website. Here would be my confession:

When I’m out at a bar and air-guitaring for all my friends, I’m really air-keytaring.

I’ve never told anyone that.

Now imagine a whole site devoted to confessions like that!

I got tired of Brooklyn’s pussy metal scene, so I decided to form my own band.

Maybe you’ve heard of these Miracle Berries - the fruit that’s supposed to magically make shitty food taste better?

Just eat one of these five-dollar-a-pop berries, and Guinness is supposed to taste like chocolate, vinegar is supposed to taste like apple cider, bologna is supposed to taste like cake, and lemons and limes are supposed to be sweet.

Well I can’t tell you I’ve tried these magic berries first hand, but I can tell you this:

I just watched watched a co-worker sip from a bottle of vinegar and dry heave, then overheard another say, “This bologna tastes like bologna.”

A link for NiceBeluga.com showed up in my inbox this morning. Not sure who sent it to me, not sure why they thought I’d like it. But here I am blogging it.

NiceBeluga.com is a site that features daily humorous pictures of belugas performing thoughtful actions of friendship. The purpose of this site is to encourage random acts of kindness as well as raise awareness about beluga whales and other marine mammals.

Enjoy?
