The Missing Sandwich
The Little Monster got his sandwich cut into triangles. There's nothing that makes a kid pay attention to geometry more than missing food, and one triangle is missing! It's an outrage, and he has to get to the bottom of it.
Thomas the Train Stunts
It's been a few years since we saw the first Thomas the Train stunt video, and finally here's a sequel that will mesmerize you. (via reddit)
The Needy Cat
This story reminds me of Moo Moo. But all four of my cats do this. Two of them want a back scratch, because I apparently have nothing else to do while sitting on the toilet, and one can't wait to watch the water go 'round and 'round when I flush. This comic is from sephko. (via Geeks Are Sexy)

Shake Your Dude Thing
Bill McClintock put the vocals from Aerosmith's song "Dude Looks Like a Lady" and laid it over the dance track of Peaches and Herb's "Shake Your Groove Thing." There's also a little bit of "Who's That Lady" by The Isley Brothers. This is an extended five-minute version. Do you think you can dance that long? You'll want to try.
Mario Got Scammed
Mario has always been the hero of the story, by saving Princess Peach, who is always in another castle. Meanwhile, Mario is always running, always working and searching because he's the hero and it's the right thing to do. But what if it were all for naught? In this game, Mario wants to change things up a little, and stumbles into an exposé. It's kind of like The Truman Show, when he finds his entire world has been a fraud, and everyone around him is a conspirator taking advantage of his naivety for their own personal gain.
The Most Hated "Americanisms"
Commenter William Rocket constantly complains about the way Americans use English. We mostly ignore him, because we all know British English and American English are just different, and that's okay. Laurence Brown of Lost in the Pond has spent years humorously explaining the differences between the two cultures. Over those years he's become more and more American (he's a US citizen now) while keeping his British accent. We can see that in how he defends what are known as "Americanisms." Well, they are known as Americanisms outside of America. I had no idea these words and phrases were unique to the US.
With some research, Brown has determined that Americanisms from a BBC complaint list either originated in Britain or are perfectly understandable in context or are just plain correct. I agree with him that "normalcy" is not a word, but I'm not inclined to argue about it. This video has a skippable ad from 4:24 to 5:57.

Politicians LOVE Data Centres
This is one of those "too true to be funny" sketches from Foil, Arms & Hogg. You may think it sounds like an American issue in British accents, but data centers are taking root in Britain and everywhere else.
Lake Ontario
Bryan Adams has a new song out, addressing Trump's ridiculous attempt to rebrand Lake Ontario as Lake America. It was a probably the last song written for Adams' new album How's It Goin', available this Friday. You'll probably have to pay a tariff on the album, but this song is free via YouTube.
