Gaga v. Bieber - Battle Royal

Some of the long-time Mullet readers will remember when there were several postings in the first couple of months of the blog that were about Lady Gaga. It has been a long time but she will once again grace the Mullet of Blogs with her presence today.

I read an article today about how she has reached 1 billion views on youtube. I know that you dedicated Mullet readers out there will click the link and read about it but for those of you who want the highlights, you must know that I will share them anyway.

Gaga has over 1 billion views and Justin Bieber is right on her heels with 965 million. The author of the article goes on to share other comparisons like their twitter followers, facebook likes and albums sold, etc. If you are interested in those monumentally important numbers you will have to read the article.

So in this battle royal between pop stars, who is your favorite?

Microphotos

For this post, I wavered on whether to post it to No-Profundity or here at the Mullet of Blogs. I settled on it here after I saw all of the mircophoto pictures and realized how awesome they are. Below is one of the pictures and if you want to know what it is you will need to follow this link and see the rest of the photos. You won't be disappointed!

Fast Car! Wow!

So what is a fast car? A Corvette, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini...a Bugatti! Yesterday I read about this car from Bugatti.

I really enjoyed the article because it gave some history about the Bugatti brand and how they have traded the speed record over the last few years and now hold it again after their Veyron record was passed a few years ago.

Since not all of you will read the article here are a few crazy stats.

Cost - $2.8 million

0-60 - 2.5 seconds

0-186 - 14.6 seconds (really, that is ridiculous!)

1200 horsepower, just over 4000lbs.

The article was good so I encourage you to read it!

Corner Kick - Fail

I saw this video posted on Dirty Tackle yesterday and it was worth passing on to the Mullet readers out there.

Greatest Video on Youtube

On a whim today I went to Youtube and typed in "Greatest Video Ever" and this is what came up. I dare you not to laugh!

Football Season

Now that both the professional and college football seasons are well under way I thought I might post the best football video I have seen online. I saw this last year and shared it with a few people but now it is time to put it on the Mullet of Blogs. Here is a link to the artcle that goes along with the video and it explains more about what is happening.

Big Pink Diamond!

Fancy colored diamonds are much more valuable than their clear counterparts that you find in jewelry stores. Some of these colors are much more prized than even the colorless stones that you see and hear about in the 4Cs of diamond buying. I read this piece about a nearly 25 carat pink diamond yesterday. What is more awesome than a huge pink diamond, you might ask? I will answer with the impressive expected auction price range of $27-38 million!
A brief internet search provided me a couple of comparisons, Paris Hilton received a 24 carat (similar size) canary diamond worth about $5 million from Paris Latsis, underscoring the rarity of the pink color since the canary is another fancy colored stone. Even the 6 carat pink diamond Ben Affleck gave J-Lo was only worth about 1.2 million.
Fancy red and fancy green colored diamonds are more rare than the pink stones but pink diamonds only come from one mine in the world.

La Niña

I keep hearing how we are going to have an interesting winter because of La Niña but every time I hear this, I think of the more commonly known El Niño. Consequently when I think of El Niño I think of Chris Farley and this SNL skit below. I hope you enjoy it even though it is very short.
