Video: Stephen Hawking on Planet X

Posted: June 18th, 2010 | Author: Tara | Filed under: Video | No Comments »

After watching 2012 with with my friend’s 12 year old daughter (yes, a mere day after watching it with Neil–the things we do for friends), we were talking about the likelihood of the impending global disaster on December 21, 2012 that some think was predicted by the Mayans. I told her why I think it’s highly unlikely, and she said “I wonder what Stephen Hawking would have to say. He’s the only person I would trust about this.”

She makes a good point. What would Stephen Hawking think? So I turned to Google and a search for “Stephen Hawking 2012″ turned up this video.

You’re welcome.

RPGs are my favourite type of video games, so despite a tendency to play as good a character as possible, I’ve done my fair share of the kind of stuff seen in this video. So true, so funny.

Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley on Lost, recently gave the L.A. Times a tour of various shooting locations on Oahu. It’s a fun trip down memory lane.

You can also catch him blogging here. It’s consistently one of my favourite blogs, even if I can’t put a finger on why.

Shakespeare should have written more sassy gay men (video)

Have you ever stopped to consider that if Ophelia had a sassy gay friend, she may have opted not to kill herself? Or Juliet might have opted not to use that dagger to the midsection? Or Desdemona could have been saved from being killed by Othello? I didn’t, but thankfully the people at The Second City Network did.

You’ve probably both seen the recent Tiger Woods commercial and heard of Christian Bale’s outburst from last year. But what if you put them together? Genius.

Dixie Carter died today at the age of 70. Like many, I’ve always thought of her in relation to her character Julia Sugerbaker from Designing Women, a genteel southern woman who wouldn’t bow to anyone.Dixie Carter

Check out this clip and remember how fantastic she was:

This video of kids performing Scarface in a school play has been getting a lot of attention, racking up almost 500,000 views in 2 days.

But was it really a school play? No. Mark Klasfeld has stepped forward and said that he directed the child actors in a rented theatre. Not sure who he is? You’ve probably seen his music videos for Jay-Z, Avril Lavigne and Lady Gaga.
