Sticktoitiveness

Pole-y moley
Hope you had a good weekend, and enjoyed some NFL playoffs action if you are so inclined. Playoff football is another world in its intensity and quality of play, and you can really appreciate the talent it takes to play at that level. In other amazing feats of physical prowess taking place on other continents, check out this impressive as hell footage of an acrobat at Nile High Camp in Uganda. Cirque de Soleil's got nothing on this guy...

David Lynch Touts the iPhone
Well, not exactly. But the brilliant director does take half a minute out of his busy day to share his (quite clear) thoughts on the iPhone, and on viewing movies thereon. This 30-second rant might just make more sense than most of the movies Lynch has directed.

In what "Pub Monthly" is calling "action shot of the year", comes this fortuitously-timed snap of an over-enthusiastic toast, likely as a result of performance enhancing substances.

Game to please: Cooperate with yourself to reach the top. A bit tricky at first but a clever idea.

Rules of Thumb
Every rule of thumb on earth in one place. Great idea, although due to the wisdumb of the crowds, not all of these are actually rules of thumb. Interesting nonetheless.
