Japan has perfected the awesome new Ejection Seat robot which not only does the Watusi, but serves as a magical wheelchair/toilet to help you reach tall shelves while pooping.
I think I’m missing something.

Super Mario Bros. 2: Hardcore
I don’t know how else to describe this video besides “awesome”.
I made it through four minutes, which is pretty good for DIY machinema.

Saw VI Movie Poster Actually Depicts CAT-5 Network Cable Crimping Tool
I was out running this morning and while waiting for the light to change, I got a chance to take a close look at the new Saw VI movie poster. And then I noticed something funny about one of the “scary tools” they used as a prop in the photo.
So, the thing that makes the big V in this picture …
Saw VI Movie Poster
… is actually one of these (a crimping tool) …
A little scary
… which is used to make these (computer network cables) …
Not scary
Which makes me a lot more willing to see the movie, actually.
Now mind you, there are certain parts of my body that I wouldn’t want to crimp (or have crimped, for that matter), but having used these things dozens of times, the image not strike fear into my heart.

I Prefer Paris: Paris Public Toilets
I Prefer Paris: Paris Public Toilets.
Examining the inevitable result of French gastronomy. These are above and beyond the nicest public toilets I ever imagined existed. The ones I’ve used in Japan where basically just an open hole in the ground with no-slip pads all around.
These make me want to go to Paris and be homeless. Would that mean I’d no longer comprehend knock-knock jokes?

10341 Venice
There’s this building in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles at the corner of Motor and Venice. Today, there is an Army Surplus store in it, and driving by it you’d never notice anything exceptional about it.
Like so much of interesting LA, it started out life in the 1920s, originally serving as a bank building. According to LALife.com the structure dates back to 1923.
At the entrance, there are two points of interest:
1. Jayne Russell wrote her name in wet cement there in 1935.
Jayne Russell Imprint
2. The name of the long-gone bank is etched in granite as you cross the threshold.
Citizens State Bank
I imagine there’s a fascinating history in and this building’s construction and early days.
