Are we just reverting to baby talk with our web-lingo evolving the way it is? Sure we've got exponential technological advancement, but we're still regressing now that everything is abbreviated and sounds like gibberish. Fine by me.
Today is terrific Tuesday and we're going hunting for some viral vids on the web. We will get to a few cool videos momentarily... but first I'd like to share a couple of points of interest.
Progressive Poker
First is a cool idea for a party or dinner, especially a "Progressive Dinner". Make it a progressive dinner poker night. Start out and name the stakes, and then hop to five different houses. You get a card at each stop and by the last one, you have a five card hand. Whoever has the best hand wins.
Google Revelation
Also, I was listening to a radio talk show today. The show's theme is financial and they take callers who have money questions. Anywho, long story short, the host of the show suggested a specialized consultant of some kind to the caller. While she was talking, he did what everyone else would do and used Google to search for that type of consultant.
When he relayed his search results to the lady on the phone, this guy made a big huge deal of hype about the fact that there were "164,000" results found ... thereby establishing some sort of merit to the industry. Sure, there may be a good handful of businesses out there representing those results in part.
But I just wish people would understand this about Google: Don't focus too much on the number of results returned in your given search, unless it's below 1,000 (then you need to type in something different, Einstein). The point is this: Google the words "Click Here". Enough said.
NOW THEN ON TO THE VIDEOS
What have we got today circling in the ether? Well first and foremost, I've got a great one that if you hadn't seen yet, is a can't miss vid but not for the faint of heart. It's not new, but I saw it a few weeks ago and it's gotta get represented here:
Leg in the Wall
Here's another painful video, and so since we all love watching others suffer in agony after doing something stupid... this is a newer one that has surfaced on the net.

Need another little dose of cringing at the pain? Need a good reason why you're supposed to LEARN about riding 4 wheelers before you ride them, or better yet, why you should wear a friggin helmet? Then this one is perfect

And finally, if you've never played Halo 3 before, that doesn't matter but it'd be a whole lot cooler if you did. (Thanks to Bungie for the AMAZING forge and video capabilities on Halo 3 that make machinimanics of everyone)
