Tuesday Tunes!

After what seemed like a long hiatus...Tuesday Tunes is back...again!
Today's video is called "Roots of Breakdance" and it's a mash-up of an old Soviet dance number and Run DMC's song "It's Like That." The video and music sync together very nicely even though they were orginally never related.
The outcome is an amazing video, but don't take my word for it, here are some YouTube comments on the video:

"The timing with the music is perfect! The song was made 4 this dance!" - Crueldevise

"That was so cool Russians are awesome!" - Stevesiekingsley

"Honestly, today's "hip hop" dancing doesn't have shit on this." - ccisbeast

but don't take their word for it...check out the video:








Run DM-CCCP

What ever happened to...

Jamie Lynn Spears. Wasn't she having that baby? Did she have it yet?
Anyways I found this a while back and though it was really funny.

I <3 Photoshop

I've always loved playing around with photos...and there's no better program than Photoshop to do so.
I'm certainly no expert on the subject of photo manipulation, but recently i've discovered some really really cool features. They're called filters and I had heard about them before, but I never really investigated what they could do. Yesterday I was like a kid in a candy store toying around with all the different artistic filters and here is what I came up with!

It's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fiiiiiiine.


Ok so, maybe it isn't really the end of the world...but what if it was?!?
I think it would go something like this

Have you realized just how small we actually are in the universe. This short film seems quite boring, but amazed me after watching the entire thing.


Now, considering the world has ended you have a lot of free time on your hands and you're gonna want to fill that time. Well i'm here to help!

*COUGH COUGH* uh oh...hope I don't have...


These are all real, yet very rare ailments:

Maple Syrup Urine Disease - An inherited metabolic disease that makes the urine and sweat smell like maple syrup.

Prune-Belly Syndrome - An absence of abdominal muscles gives the stomach a wrinkled, puckered look and a severe pot belly that stretches out grotesquely.
Jumping Frenchman - An acquired condition first discovered in the 19th century among Canadian lumberjacks. Patients have extreme reactions to sudden noises or surprises: they flail their arms, jump in the air, cry, scream, and hit people.

Hairy Tongue - Due to tobaco is or poor oral hygiene, the tiny hairs on the tongue grow to be several inches long and the tongue itself turns black.

Foreign Accent Syndrome - After a severe brain injury or stroke, a person begins speaking their native language with a foreign accent. English-speaking Canadians might suddenly sounds Russian, for example.
Wandering Spleen - The muscles that hold the spleen in position are missing or undeveloped, causing the spleen to "wander" around the lower abdomen and pelvic region.

Alice-In- Wonderland Syndrome - Vision is distorted, making objects appear much smaller than they actually are. For example, a house may appear to be the size of a shoebox or a cat may look no bigger than a mouse.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG!

Fergie's Findings is officially 1 year old! Well actually the blog birthday was on Sunday...but I wanted to wait until Tuesday in order to post this Tuesday Tunes BIRTHDAY EDITION!



I thought we'd take a glimpse back at some of my all-time favourite posts...

EPIC FAIL!

Buy this if you wanna look like a douchebag...it's only $600 and you'll be the coolest kid on the block...



My favourite part is the cheesy captions: "Be a hero" (as in guitar hero), "Be a one-man rock band" (cause you have no friends!), and "More cowbell!" (oh god they ruined one of the greatest SNL skits ever!)

The Cuteness!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Slurpees!


You don't have to scream for your Slurpee, you can get one for free at 7/11 today!
I got mine!
You see, it's 7/11's birthday today (7 month + 11th day = clever ) and for today only you can get a free small Slurpee (actually even smaller than their smallest cup size)
I've been to 7/11 in the United States but never in Canada. As soon as I walked in there I immediately felt as though I had been transported to the U.S. of A.
The store looked pretty much like the ones I had seen minus the Krispy Kreme donuts :(
I walked into the store not knowing if Canada was participating in the promotion...luckily they were!
I faced a wall of flavours and chose G-FORCE by Gatorade. A bright orange concoction of Slurpee goodness.
Here are some pics:






You can gauge the size of the cup as compared to my hand...pretty tiny...

Things that make you go hmm...


Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

Why does your nose run and your feet smell?


Why does flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?

If you jog backwards, will you gain weight?

Why do the signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

One more, and really think about this one:
What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way?

Tuesday Tunes!

Tuesday Tunes posts have been spotty lately. I'm not sure why...it's probably because i've been busy...or lazy. Either way, we're back!
Today I introduce you to the "Salmon Dance"
The Salmon Dance by the Chemical Brothers not only teaches you a new dance, but, as the video says, you'll learn some facts about salmon as well!



I'm pretty sure the kid in the video is on mushrooms or something...

Vote for Pedro

La Pequena is a Chilean midget transvestite.
Let me explain...there is this male midget from Chile who dresses up like female celebrities and posts (his?) videos on YouTtube under the name La Pequena. (His?) most famous video is about Hillary Clinton.
Check it:


This video to me is just plain disturbing. I have nothing against midgets or transvestites or even Chilean people for that matter, it's just that when you combine all three, you get something just bizarre...

As you may or may not know, Hillary Clinton is really no longer in the running for President. Well...this pretty much upsets La Pequena as i'm sure you could guess!
So (he?) has posted this response where he expresses his temper at America:



La Pequena has a series of YouTube videos that are all just as creepy as this one. Be sure to check out (his?) Amy Winehouse and Shania Twain videos as well!

There are some things you just can't unsee...
