Bill Clinton died and was standing at the Pearly Gates.
After knocking at the gates, St. Peter appeared. “Who goes there?” inquired St. Peter. “It’s me, Bill Clinton.” “And what do you want?” asked St. Peter. “Lemme in!” replied Clinton. “Soooo,” pondered Peter. “What bad things did you do on earth?” Clinton thought a bit and answered, “Well, I smoked marijuana but you shouldn’t hold that against me because I didn’t inhale. I guess I had extra-marital sex — but you shouldn’t hold that against me because I didn’t really have ‘sexual relations.’ And I lied, but I didn’t commit perjury.” After several moments of deliberation St. Peter replied, “OK, here’s the deal. We’ll send you someplace where it is very hot, but we won’t call it ‘Hell.’ You’ll be there for an indefinite period of time, but we won’t call it ‘eternity.’ And don’t abandon all hope’ upon entering, just don’t hold your breath waiting for it to freeze over.” |

Babies Tasting Lemons For First Time In Slow Motion
A video collaboration of babies tasting lemons for the first time.
Enjoy!
Babies have an almost universally similar reaction to their first taste of a lemon. They are eager to try something new, they take a bite, and then it’s shock, puckering, frowning, astonishment at your betrayal of their trust, maybe a little spitting, and then after a moment, they want another bite!

Victor Poulin creates boomerangs of all shapes and sizes. In this video he demonstrates his new fully functional returning batarang boomerang.
Enjoy!
Victor Poulin makes boomerangs in unusual forms, including the glaive from Krull, axes, dragons and cats. Unlike previous batarangs that we’ve featured before, this one actually returns to the thrower, just like Batman’s!
In the above video, Poulin shows off this prize of geek craftsmanship. It measures 25.25 inches across. Time and time again, he throws it and it returns to him.
It’s made of wood, so it wouldn’t be as effective as Batman’s own batarangs. But presumably this one could be modified with, say, razor blades.
Poulin has an extensive line of videos showing his boomerangs in action. I’m especially impressed with this one, which shows him playing basketball and starting fires with a boomerang.
