The gang at Chaser's War on Everything really love to pick on gullible Americans. This time, they showed some of the world's most famous landmarks to random Americans to see if they would know the difference.

This man got convinced that the leaning tower of Pisa was actually a replica of the "Leaning Tower of Perth".

The best part was this man:

He got convinced that not only Taj Mahal is located in Australia, but it was Steve Irwin's old residence and he used to keep live crocodiles in the rectangular pool.

Maidult in Passau, Germany
I have been in Oberösterreich (Upper Austria) for about a week now. I was in Austria last November and December, where I went to Fucking & Oberfucking, as well as Vienna and Salzburg.
Several friends of mine here have been raving about "Maidult" in Passau, Germany, to me ever since I first stepped off from the plane. (By the way, Lufthansa flights are SO much better than United Airlines or USAirways.)
Maidult in English means something like "Festival of May". It is very similar to the well-known Oktoberfest, but smaller and it's held in late April and early May every year.
The best sign during my visit to Maidult was this one:

Price Waterhouse Coopers' Dancing Auditors
Who says bean-counters don’t know how to have fun? If you have seen Stranger than Fiction, then you would know what I am talking about. Or the music video of Ethan Chandler doing a cover of U2’s One at the merger announcement between Bank of America and MBNA .

Perhaps they were inspired by Chandler, but a group of auditors from Price Waterhouse Coopers' Beijing branch decided to show off their own talent during one of their company gatherings.

I am interested to see if David Cross would make a cover video of these dancing auditors as he did with Chandler’s performance.

"I've Got Vibrating Balls"
Several weeks ago, I was having dinner with a group of friends. During dinner conversation, one of them, Mike, mentioned that he recently went to see his doctor about an interesting problem he is having.
According to him, when he touches an object that is vibrating at a specific frequency, his testicles would swell up. This happens especially when he is using a belt sander. However, the vibration from his motorcycle has no effect on him. His doctor could not come up with a treatment or suggestion.
We all accused him of lying then laughed at him and gave him the nicknames of "Mike Big Balls" and "Mike Tender Nuts".

I did not think much about Mike's problem until last week when I watched some deleted scenes from the movie Trust the Man, where the main character Tom (David Duchovny) had similar problem!

The Easter Bunny Hates You
videos: Windows media 4.87 MB or mirror
Have you ever wondered about how Easter Bunny spends its spare time when it is not Easter?
Smacking someone with billiard ball in a sock is my personal favorite part of the video. I think stuffing a dead fetus in a sock would also do the trick.

Mr. Farty Pants
I was doing some reading at my local bookstore and this guy decides to sneak one off.
It was quiet enough that no one noticed it except me, sitting about six feet away.
About fifteen seconds after he farted, he looked around to see if anyone has noticed it, that is when our eyes met.
He quickly turned away and sunk down like a turtle hiding in its shell.
