Creme eggs and ham

Happy Friday,

More ridiculousness from around the webosphere to help you remember how lucky you are.


Creme That Egg
I've never thought much of Cadbury Creme Eggs beyond gooey deliciousness in a chocolate shell. This dude has other ideas and sends them through a pretty decent Rube Goldberg-like course to meet their bitter ends.

Determined dumbass vs. wall
Idjit kid tries to kick through a concrete wall to shouts of encouragement. It's short -- about 12 seconds short -- with just desserts.

"Turkish Star Wars surpasses the original"
Probably the biggest complaint most people have about the original Star Wars movie is that the hero did not jump high enough. And while George Lucas may not have had the humility to listen to the fans, luckily his Turkish counterparts did. Behold the final scene from "Turkish Star Wars". Clearly the definitive version of the classic tale...(Thanks Raygun)

Quick pics: The 50 Best Pun Stores
Pun stores. Stores with puns in the title. Bet you didn’t think they could rank the 50 best ones. But you didn’t even think there were 50. Well guess again, says BWE.tv.

And finally, a couple of telecom related bits...

They're about two-and-a-half steps away from simply transmitting your thoughts to someone long-distance.
