Basket Case - Green Day
I’ve heard this song so many times, but I honestly just found out today that it was by Green Day. It’s pretty much one of the best songs ever. Plus the band looks normal in this video (it’s from 1994?) instead of looking too young for their current age (ie before selling out).
Joseph Henry Green’s last word: “Stopped.” Not so weird until you put it context. He was taking his own pulse at the time.
“Joseph Henry Green was a distinguished 19th century British surgeon. On his deathbed he is said to have remarked, ‘Congestion,’ after taking an especially raspy breath. He then checked his own pulse, announced ‘Stopped,’ and died.”

“Through mid-June, a period when imported beer sales dropped 11%, sales of Dos Equis rose more than 17%, moving the brand into eighth place among imports…”
I admit, they worked on me! Too bad that beer sucks.
This would be my greatest fear if I were ever to participate in a study.
Percy Grainger - Irish Tune from County Derry
This is probably one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Oh man. You’ll probably have to turn your speakers up. If you’re impatient or just don’t like instrumental stuff, skip to around the 3-minute mark (although I HIGHLY discourage this).
Now I’m in the mood for some college football smack-talking. I don’t know if I have any Minnesota fans following me, but here’s this. It’s not as good as Iowa’s Hat, but it serves as a constant reminder that we beat you down then had sex in your restroom.
See, I would be more upset by this if Minnesota wasn’t leading this whole rivalry. I mean, we also have 6 national titles compared to your 1. I may be living in the past, but… well, we can’t dwell on the present, now can we.
Ha!
Buzz Aldrin punches a conspiracy theorist in the face. Satisfying!
“Is this a drug-sniffing dog or a mistakes-sniffing dog? Because, either way, he’s right.”
This is super old, but I had to reblog for shear hilariousness
