My youth pastor had this saying about how humans are the only creatures that aren't monogamous. I guess he didn't see the Liuon King. Thanks for the life lesson, Simba!
What your phone’s buttons layout could have looked like
Love the numberphile videos. I hate when they start drawing on rough paper with sharpy markers. Painful, but worth it?
How do you deal with drunk women passed out on the couch?
I always treat women as equals... and that means: passed out drunk = draw sharpie dick on face =)

Man Protests at All You Can Eat Buffet
I like how lazy his picket sign looks lol. I mean really you just used a ball point pen on a piece of cardboard and expect anyone to actually be able to read the thing. Come on man how cheap is this guy he can't afford a $1 sharpie at least. LMAO!![](https://videosift.com/vs5/emoticon/smileopen.gif)
James Randi shows his ESP
>> ^spawnflagger:
.. my guess is that each card has a metal strip(s) embedded in different spots, and the top cap of his Super Sharpie is a strong magnet. notice that he waves it around several times, front and back, before making his actual guess. If the magnet is strong enough, he wouldn't have to touch the paper to still be able to feel a slight tug.
I say it's in the cap, because he removes the cap and sets it aside before writing on the envelope - this way it wouldn't accidentally "stick" to the envelope.
comments welcome...
I like spawnflagger's magnetic sharpie idea. If this isn't how the trick is done, it certainly could be done this way.
James Randi shows his ESP
at first I thought the trickery is in the "opaque black paper" sleeve, which actually hides the 2 cards that he predicts, regardless of how the deck is shuffled, but on 2nd viewing, I doubt it.
it was an awfully thick deck for only being 5 cards, maybe they are weighted... 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 "units". although he would have to train a LOT to be able to tell the difference between 17 (16+1) and 18 (16+2). I doubt any human could do this reliably, at least without the audience participant noticing something funny about the cards.

Buddy's Oral Cavity is a Pocket Dimension
I actually posted this before watching the *entire* thing. I guess it's obvious most of the cigarettes are fake and he stuffs her card in his mouth when he drops the Sharpie. When he comes back up he is clearly trying to talk around something in his mouth.

My first Top 15 in a week -- and it took a promote.
Granted, my vids for the past week sucked. But still. This is pretty funny.

Some people got charged for promotes even when they didn't "take." I don't know if they fixed it.
Thanks for trying.
There is gnashing at the bit for promoting and qualitying!!!!

Darn, I can't.

Thanks for the attempted quality....
You might want to check your power pellets -- some folks got charged the point, even though their quality/promote didn't take.
