Why does everyone treat Rick Astley like he made the worst music of the 1980s? Sure, it's bad music, but it's not worthy of the ban-hammer or anything.

Daft Punk is the only band that could take a song which has for its lyrics "Around the World" (repeated 144 times) and turn it into a hit.

"Still Alive" written by Jonathan Coulton (visit http://www.jonathancoulton.com/store/downloads and listen to more of his music! and maybe buy some!) I recommend "Mandelbrot Set" and his oddly creepy cover of "Don't Talk to Strangers".

Also, the second-most popular Jonathan Coulton song on the Internet is Code Monkey, so watch that Sifted video too.

Honestly, I'm amazed the cat didn't just give the dog a good claw-swipe.

We don't want you to let go of the Kennedy assassination because it happened so long ago, we want you to let go of it because it would take a conspiracy of thousands to do a cover-up of the magnitude you're talking about, and conspiracies that big don't stay leak-proof. See also: 9/11 truthers.

Nice animation of the first stellation of the icosahedron.

Pong (gameplay footage), Tetris (gameplay footage), Mortal Kombat (making the MK and the dragon logo), Pokemon (making a couple of Pokeballs) with a band member dressed as Pikachu beating up... the USC Trojan?, Zelda (making a Triforce and a sword), Super Mario Brothers (making pipes and blocks), one or two songs I don't recognize, and then back to Super Mario Brothers (making the castle with flag at the end of a stage).

Any body recognize the songs/shapes for the things in between the pipes/blocks and the castle that the princess isn't in?

But the independent TV station was pro-Russian, and the leader of Georgia who's suppressing peaceful street protests thru force is pro-Western, so the Americans should be happy, right?

Were those the Foo Fighters?

From http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/25/furries-vs-klingons.html :

"This event was not presented to our Klingon (KAG) group as a challenge. The challenge was between the STAR TREK club, and not the Klingon club."

That explains the lack of Klingons that looris bemoaned.

Ah, the joys of dealing with people who think the hundreds of Star Wars books are all as important and canonical as the films....

Isn't this a dupe of the #3 highest-voted video on the Sift?

Kudos for Fox for letting the Simpsons tear them a new one like that, at least....

If the comments about the cameraman behind him were unscripted and off-the-top-of-his-head, he's even funnier than I thought he was, and I liked him already....

Jeez, how many people on the Sift are old enough to even remember the days of text adventures?
