Like a Real Live Scooby Do
Mena has posted a video of dogs talking. Judging from the laugh track, I’m guessing it came from one of those funniest home video shows. Still, despite the questionable entertainment value of the source, there’s something really freaky/funny about seeing dogs apparently speaking English.

Jack Black Pilot
So, a while ago, I heard about a failed TV pilot starring Jack Black called Heat Vision and Jack Well, it turns out Andy has a copy, and he’s seeded a bittorrent of it. I’ve been trying to download the 300+ MB file for over an hour now. I’m only 13% through. I hear it’s…

More Than Meets the Eye
Robots in disguise? Sure, but also break dancers. Transformers, break dancing, it’s got everything. To quote NortonDC from MeFi (from which I got the link), “My generation has the coolest dorks ever.” Word.
