Sand Sculptures

I came across a brief articleabout a sand sculpture exhibition taking place in Melbourne but it was difficult to get to any photos. This article here has access to a few photos, they are pretty awesome!

Sahara Cheetah

I am not oblivious to wildlife in Africa but before this morning I hadn't heard of the Sahara Cheetah. Here is the article that I read along with the picture below. They estimate that there may be 200 of them throughout the Sahara but it is difficult to count them as there are only a few photo sightings of them.

Sequel Trailers

So a few trailers for upcoming blockbuster sequels have come out recently. A few of them are below.
Pirates 4 - On Stranger Tides


Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon


This one isn't a trailer but it seems like it should be for "Bad Boys 3" or something especially since it if from Michael Bay - but it is only a commercial for Victoria's Secret - seems like a lot of work to go to for a commercial...

I was only recently introduced to the awesomeness of Simon's Cat! Here are a couple of the videos - enjoy!

For those of you who have snowy winters - here is a funny snow version.

I also recommend that you visit the site and watch the "Santa Claws" video.

Jump The Shark

A week or so ago, I read an article about which TV shows have "jumped the shark" and I thought to myself, there is a good Mullet of Blogs posting in this article. It took me some time but here I go.

I wanted to share a few things to begin - what it means to "jump the shark" is that the point when a TV show plot veers into some random direction with absurd stories. Below is the original jumping the shark moment from Happy Days when the Fonz literally jumps the shark!


I know some of the shows I watch have jumped the shark in the past, are any of the shows you currently watch jumping the shark too?

Heisman

For this post I came across subjective list of the top 10 college football seasons that winners of the Heisman Trophy had in the year they won. I was pretty amazed with a few of the stats and some of the videos like the Tony Dorsett one but I was so totally blown away by the Barry Sanders video I had to make this post. The video is below and anyone who understands football or the way Sanders dominated in the NFL for 10 years following his college career, you just can't help but be amazed at his stats from 1988 at Oklahoma State. I haven't followed college football for several years but I can guarantee that whoever wins this year will not even compare to what Sanders did!

Qatar in 2022!

Qatar was awarded the World Cup for 2022 earlier today. I found this great little video about the first 5 stadiums that they will build and an article about another stadium they will build on a man-made island! Pretty cool, if you can get past the fact that this is a northern hemisphere summer event that will take place in an insanely hot location.
