Pay Attention grasshopper

BadKungFu posts videos showing you how to do all those little things you've always wanted to do: tearing a phone book in half, lifting a person over your head with one arm, and putting troublemakers into stressful positions they could kill themselves trying to get out of. It's a distillation of all the things we need to know in a post-9/11 world ( since oceans no longer protect us like they did during the Revolutionary War ) . Well, at least you might pick up a trick or two here that will let you vacuum 20 bucks off some sucker in a bet.

If the Xmas paranoia our feckless leader likes to spread this time of year ( Terrorists are coming to the MALLS!!! ) isn't enough for you, check out GlobalIncidentMap. This GoogleMaps mashup ties "suspicious" activity headlines scoured from the web with maps, so you can see at a glance where the global hotspots are. The site autorefreshes every 360 seconds, so your fears are always minty fresh and up-to-date.

Presumably faithful reader Garrett asked me to give his site a look-see for WWWeird inclusion. Garrett's contribution to raising the cultural standards of the Internets is DumpedByEmail, wherein readers are encouraged to share their experiences with this contemporary, and extremely chickenshit, form of break up. Garrett's looking for submissions, so rifle through your inbox and show the world that classless bastard that dumped you electronically is a moron that doesn't know the difference between "lose" and "loose".

"Cheese racing" involves barbecue grills and plastic wrapped processed cheese slices—I'm sure beer must be involved as well, because, frankly it's one of those things that only makes sense with beer. To cheese race, you throw wrapped cheese food slices on a lit grill. There, through the wonders of chemistry, something amazing happens. The plastic doesn't melt, but the cheese does, releasing ( hopefully non-toxic ) fumes which make the wrapper swell like a balloon. The first one to get his cheese balloon fully inflated is the winner. I told you it made no sense without beer.
