I Study Like A Scholar, Scholar (Old Spice Parody)

If you haven’t heard of the Old Spice commercials and “the man your man could smell like” then you must have been hiding under a rock. Ever since the success (or at least the popularity) of the commercials, parodies have been popping up everywhere; even Australia’s “World Vision” jumped on the band-wagon. I’m pleased to announce, I think I’ve found one of the funniest and best produced parodies yet. Although, it might just be that it appeals to my geeky and bibliophile side. ;-)

If you haven’t seen the original commercial, then watch this video, then this one, and then maybe this one too, before watching this parody.

Update: I’ve just been told this parody was produced by a Mormon university. I was unaware when I published it. As a disclaimer, please, enjoy their parody, probably don’t visit their university (not entirely sure what a “Mormon” university is), and definitely don’t believe Mormon theology. For information discussing the errors of Mormon theology and why it isn’t Biblical Christianity, see these resources from Alpha & Omega Ministries.

Video: Darth Vader Recites The Alphabet

…well not exactly.

James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, did recite the alphabet way back when for Sesame Street. After a bizarre minute and a half of not being able to look away, I had to blog it.

Enjoy! Or simply carry on with your day.

Bible Quotation FAIL

If you can’t read the quote, it says, “If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. – Luke 4:7″

If you don’t know why that’s funny, then read Luke 4:7 in its context!

Vuvuzela Ringtone / SMS Tone

For anyone who is mad enough, I made this MP3 of a vuvuzela that can be used as a ringtone or an SMS tone on your mobile (cell) phone.

Enjoy! (If that’s possible).

Saturday Morning Music Motivation – LSO “Eye of the Tiger”

Wow, that title’s a mouthful. Well it’s Saturday morning here in the Land Down Under and what better way to get motivated for a busy day than to listen to “Eye of the Tiger” performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Maybe I found this video motivational because whenever I hear “Eye of the Tiger” I think of this Starbucks commercial. :D

The World’s Funniest Joke

In 2001 Richard Wiseman and The British Association for the Advancement of Science undertook the task of discovering the world’s funniest joke. For your enjoyment, here is the winning joke:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, now what?”

For more information about their project you can visit LaughLab, but you probably should get back to work. ;-)

May 25 is Geek Pride Day

…according to Wikipedia and Andy Tan.

If you’d like to celebrate you could (please) buy me this t-shirt. Seriously. :P

If anyone is actually willing to buy it for me I’ll supply size and shipping details AND I’ll post a photo of me wearing said t-shirt on the blog. What a reward!

If you’re like most geek and don’t have the funds then maybe tweet something geeky instead. Oh, Wikipedia has a full list of the geek’s basic rights and responsibilities.

Video: Sunday’s Coming – Where “Contemporary” Becomes “Contemporvant”

In this epic video trailer, Sunday’s Coming, you’ll get a glimpse into the once original –but now predictable– contemporary church movement. I wonder if David Murray will include some of the preacher’s tips in his preaching e-Book? If you’re wondering, I’m “pausing” now. ;-)
