I have never been more afraid to use my cellphone until AFTER i viewed this video.
What im about to show you is not only entertaining but also educational.

By now im sure most of you heard of those 'health-risks' that cellphones can be guilty of.
I never really believed any of that stuff...i figured it was more or less a 'marketing strategy' these companies would use to trick us into thinking we actually need those corny bluetooth headset thingies.
It seems i was wrong. 

For those of you who don't know...here are some of the potential health risks that can be triggered by long-term usage of a celluar device :
-The risk of death from brain cancer is higher for cell phone users who hold their cell phones against their heads compared to those who keep their cell phones away from their heads. 
-Using a cell phone for six years or more is associated with a fifty percent increase in risk of developing an acoustic neuroma, a benign tumour of a nerve that lies close to the ear and is within close range of the radiation that comes from a cell phone's antenna.
-Regular use of a cell phone doubles your risk of developing neuro epithelial tumours on the outside of your brain. 
-Radio waves from cell phones are known to cause damage to DNA and cells, effects that are passed on to the next generation of cells. 

Lemme guess...you're freaking out a little bit now aren't you?

Ok now that i got the scary stuff out of the way...let's get to the cool stuff

CELLPHONE COOKS POPCORN


What you are about to see is proof that the microwaves emitted from cellphones can indeed turn a corn kernal into popcorn.
But is it real???

This phenomenon started about a week ago when a bunch of japanese kids at a party sat around a table and tried out the idea that if cellphones transmit and receive these electromagnetic radio waves (i'll be honest. i dont know this stuff i googled it so i sound smart) then it should be enough to cook a kernal of corn. They tried it...and it worked.
For about a week their video went around the internet with most people automatically dismissing it as "fake"...until others tried it out for themselves. 
What then happened next was at least a dozen or so 'other' videos popping up in response to this, where people in all different parts of the world filmed themselves trying this same trick...and all getting the same result...POPCORN!

I still refuse to believe this is possible.
I still think its FAKE.
I have a theory that this was done with someone either heating up the section under the table that the kernels are on by using a lighter or a candle.
If you notice this video has an unusual 'table cloth' so that you cannot see what is under it.
All the other videos on Youtube that spawned from this do the same thing (they do not show you what is under the table)

So here's the challenge...try it!
Tell me the results! 
Does it work? or no?
Hell...record it if you need to and upload it to Youtube also!
Where's the MYTHBUSTERS gang when you need them?

Well since the Sabres didn't get to the playoffs this year i had to get my hockey fix by other means.

Last week was the WHL Finals (Western Hockey League) in which the Spokane Chiefs took on the Kitchener Rangers in their hometown of Kitchener, Ontario. Similar to the NHL, when a team wins the championship it is usually tradition for the entire team to celebrate via holding the trophy over their heads while skating around.

Captain Chris Bruton of the Spokane Chiefs did exactly that. After being awarded the trophy, in typical celebratory fashion you will see as he raises it above his head only for it to fall apart seconds later in an attempt to pass it along to his teammate. The looks on their faces are priceless as neither of them seem to know what to do next. In such irony, the moment that teams in professional and minor-league sports work so hard all season long to experience is THIS! And its ruined! Not only were the fans in Kitchener really upset that their home team just lost to these guys, but on top of it THEY BREAK THE FRIGGIN TROPHY!!! The whole arena erupts in boos after this mishap. However the Spokane Chiefs end up making the most of it and instead starts hoisting BOTH pieces of the trophy in the air...lame.

HOCKEY TEAM BREAKS CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY


The Trophy awarded (and later destroyed) is the Memorial Cup. It has been in existence since 1919 and has been thru its fair share of history and many many hockey championships.
It is considered one of the hardest trophies to win in hockey as there are currently 60 teams competing each year to make the tournament and a player has a maximum of five years to win it due to age restrictions.
So even though it isnt quite the NHL, you can still imagine how exciting it must feel to be one of the many few to hold up the trophy over your head after your team had just won it.
Now imagine it breaking in your hands.
or worse...imagine it breaking BEFORE anybody else on your team is able to even touch it.
Wow...bummer.

I'm addicted to myspace and facebook.
Lately its been more of the latter thats taken alot of my free time away from doing other constructive things i should be doing like reading a book, solving math equations or splitting atoms.
As much as most people wouldnt like to admit it, facebook (and myspace) are responsible for the friendships, relationships and so on of many different people from all walks of life who probably would never get the opportunity to know one another had it not been for the stalkerish and sometimes creepy outlets these social networking sites provide.

This is a beautifully done parody of those corny 'eharmony.com' commercials but in the tune of 'facebook'.
It was originally done by a bunch of students from the University of Southern California as part of a variety TV show they run on the college station called "EXPOSED".
Like most things shot on video nowadays for whatever reason, it eventually made its way to youtube and the rest is history.

FACEBOOK INFOMERCIAL PARODY


Now if you have an account on facebook.com then you will most likely find this clip absolutely hilarious! If you don't have a facebook profile or if you have never even been on the site then it may not get AS many laughs as expected but its still funny regardless.
My favorite part of the video is the creepy guy towards the end. I'm sure every girl i know can relate to a situation like that.
Long Live Facebook.com!! 

oh yeah and if you are on facebook and were not friends yet, then find me = )

Sometimes i find some of these gems on other sites besides Youtube, like this one, which i found on Myspace.

I actually discovered this by accident one day when viewing one of my OWN videos that i have posted on myspace. The way it works is, after any video is finished playing (on youtube or myspace etc.) there are links to 'other' videos with content similar to the one you just viewed. Well, i saw a link for the video below that you are about to see and thought i'd check it out cause it looked 'interesting'. Man oh man was i happy i did that cause i think i really discovered something special here!!


CHAD MICHAEL - HOW DID I FALL IN LOVE


This guy goes by the name of Chad Michael. No relation whatsoever to the actor Chad Michael Murray although on his mypsace page he did one of those 'celebrity look-a-likes' things and ironically it claims his closest celebrity resemblance IS that of Chad Michael Murray.  I think he may have just done it over and over until he got the celebrity he wanted but hey thats just my opinion. 
So Chad Michael apparantly has a hobby of making his own music videos to cheesy songs from people like the Backstreet Boys, Elliot Yamin, Westlife, Mario and more. Each video isnt any different from the other with the exception it was shot in a different room at his parents house. The above video is my favorite of the bunch for a number of reasons : the emotion he gives, the way he tries to sing along with the music, and how he believes the 'open sweatshirt' look is apparantly still something that should be taken seriously. 
If the guy wasnt so serious about these mock-music videos than i dont think it would be as fun to watch, and i dont even know the story behind them all, maybe his girlfriend really likes the backstreet boys and he recorded a bunch of these to send to her as his way of competing for her heart. I'd love to get the deal behind how this all went down and maybe i will someday. 

CHAD MICHAEL - INCOMPLETE


As a bonus I even decided to throw on here another one of his marvelous videos for your viewing pleasure. The guys got like twenty of them, feel free to waste an hour of your time watching all of them like i did. You'll thank me later for it!
