Best Web Junk (August 20)

I have been getting this same 3-part red-ring pretty much every other time I turn on the X-box lately so I enjoyed this.  But my NES was definitely done years ago Such a sad story

In other news.  Apparently guys will check out girls even if it is dangerous

I am fascinated by how stuff works and how stuff is made, so this link is right up my alley

This is world yo-yo champion Jensen Kimmitt and this video is pretty much amazing.  Like 10 times in this thing I thought he had the yo-yo in an unrecoverable knot.  Seriously, it's amazing.  Also, where did the world go for awesome yo-yo videos before youtube was a thing?

If the yo-yo didn't impress you, this definitely will [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtztrcGkCBw&feature=player_embedded]

Best Web Junk (August 7)

First up is this news story about a girl suing her college's job placement office I think this is the key paragraph:

She suggested that Monroe's Office of Career Advancement shows preferential treatment to students with excellent grades. "They favor more toward students that got a 4.0. They help them more out with the job placement

Then there is this sad story (with an impressive piccture) about a grass carp killed by raw nuts.  In this article I learned that carp live into their 30s (unless they eat too many nuts).

This LOLcat cracked me up

A very entertaining list of reporters in really bad weather

What do yall think...fake right?
