Extreme Fishing

This guy is fishing off the back of a jetski for marlins. This is nuts.

The Crocodile Hunter of extreme fishing...

Greatest Pitcher Ever

Check this out...

Old Time Hockey...

Ever wondered what happened to the Hanson Brothers from Slap Shot?

I do.

I lie awake at night wondering what happened to them.

I hope they are alright.

I hope old time hockey is alright.

NO MORE PARIS HILTON!

This is some great television. MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski refuses, on live television, to lead the news with a story about Paris Hilton being released from jail.

She tries to burn her paper copy of the story, and then shreds the replacement that her producers give her.

More journalists need to take a stand over this kind of "news."

Good job.

Video below.

The Dyson Airblade

James Dyson, the man who reinvented the vacuum, has come up with yet another genius invention.

Watch out World's Most Powerful Hand Dryer. You now have competition. The Airblade is on the scene.

It's Hot Outside!

Grateful Dead PhD

The University of Massachusetts will be host to forums on the impact of the Grateful Dead on American Culture. Three days in November will be DEADicated to the impact that the band has had on American folklore and music, as well as general culture.

Definitely something that I would re-enroll for. Well, that and the no-class-before-noon rule. And prepared meals everyday. And parties. And student discounts. And residence. And...

Chris Benoit Update

As promised, an update on the story of the Canadian Crippler, Chris Benoit.

Turns out he killed his wife and son over a couple of days before hanging himself on Monday.

This is some really crazy stuff...

I always liked Chris Benoit, both when he was in the WCW and WWE. This is unthinkable. Nuts. Horrifying.

Crazy.

Worst Luck Ever.

Poor poor guy. Lost his penis, had it surgically reattached. Now has had it removed for "psychological" reasons.

WOW.

Worst day ever.

James Blunt = Annoying

You're Beautiful, the worldwide hit by James Blunt, has been voted the world's most annoying song.

I can't believe Macarena is only number 10! Who votes on this? Obviously people who have never been seduced by that siren song called the Macarena. BRUTAL!

I would have put more Celine Dion songs in there if I were doing this list.

RIP Canadian Crippler

Chris Benoit, The Canadian Crippler, was found dead in his home just outside of Atlanta on Monday along with his wife and son.

Developing...

Hot Pants!

Apparently pants are not worth $54 million...

Something tells me that Christopher Walken may have been more successful in this lawsuit, as the pants that he puts on every morning are the ones that he makes Gold Records in.

MORE COWBELL!

World's Ugliest Dog

This ugly little dog has just received the distinction of the Worlds Ugliest Dog. And $1000...

Nice mohawk. And the diamond studded bracelet? Cmon, that just ruins the ugliness factor.

The Ironic Protester

Photoshopped or not?

Toskala The Leaf

So it looks like Vesa Toskala is now a Toronto Maple Leaf. Seeing as he was one of the best goalies available this summer, and the Leafs really needed a goalie, it should be a good fit. At least it will make Andrew Raycroft work harder.

Now to get some scoring when the Free Agent market opens up...

Interesting to see what else comes out of Draft Day in the NHL.

It's A Boy - 4Real!

A couple in New Zealand has tried to name their new baby boy 4REAL. Apparently the local authorities would not let them register the name as numbers were not allowed to be registered in names.

Which leads to the inevitable question...

Why not just name the kid "Foreal" or "Fosheezy" or "Foshnizzle"?

The Dramatic Chipmunk

Look me in the eye!

Bonnaroo Roundup

The editorial staff from the Daily Dyson has managed to make it back to Canada in one piece. Making it out of Tennessee was tricky, but all managed to survive.

All in all a good time at Bonnaroo. Ratdog and String Cheese Incident, Michael Franti and John Butler Trio were amazing. The Police put on a fantastic show. Xavier Rudd, Franz Ferdinand and The White Stripes were all shows that lived up to the expectations. And the one band that blew my mind more than I thought possible: Galactic. They have a new album coming out very very soon, I suggest you check it out.

Below find some links summarizing this year's Bonnaroo festivities. Enjoy!

Jambase has some great photos and stories.

MTV's take on the weekend.

Of course Relix has a lot to say about Bonnaroo.

The New York Times' coverage.

Also check out the photos section on the main Bonnaroo page.

Bonnaroooooooo!

Air For Sale

A Chinese company has been disciplined for trying to sell air, bottled straight from the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

As ridiculous as this story sounds, it's probably something that is not too far off in the future, what with that funny thing called pollution... and global warming... and stuff...

Bonnaroooooooooo

That's it.

The entire editorial staff is packing up and shipping out for the next couple of days to sunny Tennessee for the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

Plenty of stories upon our return.

This editorial staff is excited beyond belief.

Bonnnaroooooooooo!

Drunken Green Power

Thinking of making a solar powered water heater out of 66 beer bottles?

So was I! I just finished number 54 and I'm game.

Russian Ninja Captured

I was beginning to worry about the safety of those farmers in Italy. The Russian ninja that has been terrorizing them has finally been caught.

How many other ninjas did it take to capture him?

Shrek you know you can always sue for child support. I know they have the gold.

Why Paris Was Really Released...

The sheriff that prematurely released Paris Hilton the other day has some 'splaining to do...

Looks like Paris's grandfather donated generously to the Sheriff's re-election campaign. Hmmmmmmm.

Details are slowly emerging...

Playoff Beards = Stanley Cups

Bitter Leaf Fan has done some in-depth analysis as to why the Sens could not win the Stanley Cup.

After much research and thought, BLF's team of high level researchers has come to the conclusion that the one ingredient that was missing from the Sens, and so visibly obvious on the Ducks:

Beards.

Conn Smythe Winner Scott Niedermayer

Sens Captain Daniel Alfredsson

Notice the committment to beardliness that Scott showed throughout his long playoff run. Even his kid had a great playoff beard by the third round.

And who can forget George Parros throwback 70s porn stache? Amazing.


For more info on the playoff beard, and its importance to post season success, check out the original post here, and the official site of playoff beards here.

Of Mice And Cats

Ron Paul, Candidate for President 2008

I've been following the rise of Ron Paul as a Presidential candidate over the past couple of weeks. His candidacy is an excellent illustration of the power of the Internet, and specifically the power of social organization on the Net.

Paul's candidacy has been powered by users of sites such as Digg and Reddit, socially driven news sites that put the users in control of content and discussion. The users of Digg and Reddit have really put Ron Paul, a libertarian, on the electoral map for the upcoming primaries. Through sheer force of numbers and effort they have managed to have Paul included in Presidential debates, have coverage of him included in mainstream media, and have him taken a lot more seriously as a Presidential candidate.

One link from Reddit today caught my eye and really increased my interest in Ron Paul. This is a link to his statement in Congress explaining why he is voting against awarding President Ronald Reagan the Gold Medal.

His reasoning is airtight.

Denied!

Is it possible that Stephen Harper is the first world leader to ever say no to Bono?

Can his ego take this rejection?

Congratulations

Ducks win in 5.

Emilio Estevez is smiling.

Great coverage here.

Now This Is Innovation

Yet another indicator that Canada is falling behind in University Research Funding.

A Canadian may have invented penicillin, but the Dutch invented powdered alcohol.

Brillliant.

Who Won The Stanley Cup?

It doesn't matter.

The Senators didn't win.

Thanks for the effort Alfredsson. Maybe next year buddy.

The Apple iPhone

New advertisement for the Apple iPhone. This thing looks ridiculous.

Obviously Not A Penguin Fan

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this guy hasn't seen Happy Feet or March of the Penguins.

Do Not Pass GO, Head Directly To Jail

Paris Hilton is now behind bars.

I feel safer now.

Alot safer.

McGuinty Wants A Mulligan

Have you ever read a newspaper and believed that what you were reading was too absurd to be true? That it could only be a joke?

Check out this story.

Over the weekend Dalton McGuinty promised not to raise taxes if reelected in October.

This is the same Dalton McGuinty who ran television commercials during the last election where he looked each and every voter in the eye and told them that he would not raise taxes. Then the first thing he did in office was to bring forth the single largest tax increase in Ontario history.

He actually believes that we should trust him this time.

Are you kidding me? Is he for real?

Hot Dog Eating Record Shattered

Hot dogs are good.

59 hot dogs in 12 minutes is even better.

Check out the Major League Eating website here.

My thoughts go out to Takeru Kobayashi for having his 6 year old record broken. Major League Eating describes Kobayashi as "the most dominant living athlete."

Not anymore.

Congratulations Joe Chestnut. You are an inspiration to us all.

The Loch Ness Monster

Another sighting of the Loch Ness Monster, this time from May 28.

I would say some of the best video to date.

The Daily Dyson will be showing in the weeks to come its exclusive footage on Sasquatch sightings, the discovery of Atlantis, and the burial place of Jimmy Hoffa.

Happy Friday!

Today is Friday.

All days should be as good as Fridays.

Monkeys and cats love Fridays.
