How Americans view Asia

We’ve seen how most Americans look at the rest of the world and even posted a fun map of the world that explained this. Here’s a similar map for Asia.

Wait isn’t Asia a country in China? Love how Africa is just labeled “AIDS”. I can understand the “Pirate Ocean”, but it’s the first time I’ve heard of the “Great Hawaiian Ocean”. Hilarious map. via

Fall from the edge of Skyrim

I guess we’ve all thought about this. What happens if you try to go beyond the boundaries of the map in Skyrim? Would you fall into Oblivion? Would you still get to keep your weapons and armor?

I couldn’t scale the high mountains in the southern border and some large icebergs stopped me from swimming further in the northern sea. Anybody else managed to escape from Skyrim? Seems impossible.

If US land was divided like wealth

If the land mass of the United States of America was divided among its people the same way its wealth is, this map is pretty much what we’d end up with.

The majority of the people would get the sunny Southern states and their beaches, while the poor rich folks would get all the corn, potatoes and the ice. via

What a way to honor the 3D release of Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. The Darth Vader Burger (or Dark Vador in French) is one of a series of burgers by the French fast food chain, Quick.

There’s also the Dark Burger, fashioned after Darth Maul, and a Jedi Burger. One can only imagine what these might do to your poop.

The Great Bottle Escape

Come my Orangy friend. Let us dig down and join the Dark One to plan our great escape from this icy prison. We must be fast and we must be invisible. Like ninjas. Or maybe Neo. But covered in plastic.

Funny bottles, doing funny things. What were they thinking? Or could there be an architect on the outside making it all happen? Will they wake up all the other bottles now?

Well dressed stump by 0331c from Russia. Simple and unique way to brighten your day and at the same time, scare the bejeezus out of the neighborhood kids.

Note that it’s a Wooden sweater, not a Woolen one. via

Amazing Folding Chair

See this animated GIF of a folding chair and tell us that you’re not amazed. How the hell does it pack into such a small carrying case? Is it even a real chair that we can sit on?

Are you not entertained? If you are and if you’re also aware of where to get it, please share.

If all else fails

Hug your dog. And since that probably won’t work out as well as one would hope, try hugging the cat. Not that cats are any easier to hug. They’ll likely hiss and run, possibly after giving you some nasty scratches.

Cats are definitely smarter than dogs, though sometimes too smart for their own good.

Best plan for having children

This should be quite useful if you are planning to have children anytime soon. First thing to remember is that as great as they are, you probably shouldn’t have too many.

And don’t forget the gravy. It really helps wash them down and can even help prevent indigestion.

Just Sammo Hung
