Charleston, Meet Aphex Twin

Jumping shamelessly on the Charleston bandwagon (theres like 30 videos now), I made a new version today that combines the dancing video with a part of the middle of Aphex Twin's 'Windowlicker.'
It doesn't sync all that well in the beginning, but as it goes it along it begins to match up more and more until the ending, which is almost absurdly bizarre in how well the two go together.

The Woman Who Loved Charles Bronson

With his baby-muppet face and weedy voice, one might not expect Charles Bronson to be much of a ladies man outside of film (and he's presumably only a ladies man in film because both parties are getting paid) but he ehow capture the heart of this bat-shit crazy woman, who left him nearly $300,000 WHEN SHE DIED.
From people.com (the one, and only time, I shall ever quote them. Notice I didn't even make a link)

Probate papers recently revealed that a Kentucky woman who died 15 months ago left her entire estate, worth some $240,000, to actor Charles Bronson, 77. A sister of the late Audrey Jean Knauer is now waging a legal battle to acquire the assets, saying Knauer was mentally unfit. Bronson, for his part, intends to donate the windfall to charity.


Who can resist this face?

Is the Charleston timeless?

This is a fucking awesome video somebody created setting footage of some guys doing the Charleston on a TV broadcast to Daft Punk.
They sync up surprisingly well- actually not all that surprising because 'Around the World' has about the most conventional beat you can find (not that its not awesome.)

The Man Whose Arm's Exploded

"After spending twenty minutes stabbing himself with the syringe, and ozzing out buckets of blood and pus..."
This could be one of the grosser things I've seen on the net that doesn't involve Russian prostitutes in a bath tub.
TLC did this report on Gregg Valentino, the man who decided normal steroids weren't enough and decided to inject himself with enough nasty shit to make his arms grow all elephant man and then explode.
Just the thought is enough to make me shudder.
Heres the vid from Youtube, kudos to the poster, andrefgb.
