March 10th = Day Of Awesomeness

International Day of Awesomeness Logo

Some days are just more awesome than others. Take March 10th, for example, which is the International Day of Awesomeness. Started by Kevin Lawver as an unserious conversation at work, International Day of Awesomeness was created to celebrate any feat of awesomeness. Whether it be programming an awesome website, writing a blog post about someone that epitomizes awesomeness, or just plain being your awesome self, International Day of Awesomeness can mean different things to everyone. For instance, Kevin Lawver plans on wearing a cape.

To top it off, March 10th is the birthday of Chuck Norris, the God of Awesomeness. So whether you consider yourself awesome or not, today is the day to leave your mark on the world. Have a happy International Day of Awesomeness and be sure to join the official group on Facebook!

The suspect approached the victim teller and passed a handwritten note to the victim. The victim advised that the note stated “$3000 NOW.” The victim advised that she acted confused by the suspects note and asked him for his account number. The suspect advised that he did not have one and in a low threatening tone stated “just give me the money.” The victim then asked the manager to come over and assist. The manager/witness came over to assist and asked the suspect some questions. The suspect then changed his story and advised that he wanted a cash advance. The suspect walked out of the bank and turned left, fleeing on foot.

Man Vs. Inanimate Object Championships

Here is a funny video from Matthew Vescovo of instructoart.com. If it seems slightly familiar, Matthew did several station ID’s for MTV like The Life & Death of Bling Bling and Gay. Straight.

Meat Toaster Makes Steak Easier Than Toast

I love eating plain toast. It’s just like bread only warm and crispy. Probably the biggest advantage is how easy it is to pop two pieces of bread in the toaster and be done with it. If there was something like a toaster for steak, then I probably would eat it as much as I eat warm, crispy bread.

Ariete SteakHouse Grill

Luckily Ariete makes a product called the SteakHouse Grill which pretty much fills the fantasy of any lazy steak lover. Functioning pretty much like a George Foreman grill, the 2000 watt vertical cooker allows fat to drip out the bottom while cooking the meat on both sides. I don’t think the cooked meat pops-up when done but this shiny kitchen appliance is certainly more eye catching than that rusty old cooking pan.

This burly man toaster can be yours for the mere price of €150. Yowza! On second thought I think I’ll just have toast.

Will Diet Coke Kill Us?

Beats me, but according to willdietcokekill.us it will. Pretty self explanatory site with a clever domain. I wish it would link to some information supporting its stance as I drink Diet Coke every Tuesday for the most part.

Raccoon Vs. Cat

For some reason this video makes me cackle out loud. The cat’s expression is priceless.
