21 Essential Steps to Make Your PC Better/Faster/Stronger
This article actually has some extremely useful tips and apps. Some are no-brainers and some are meh, but a couple are quite good.

Actually, he has a number of pointedly funny videos, such as:

PETA and the K.K.K! (featuring Tom Cruise)
DRUGS ARE AWESOME!! (Socialized Healthcare Sucks)
and many more

I can not imagine the struggle to bring this to court - 12 years is a long time.
...why do we never hear about this kind of stuff from mainstream media???

This is why you're fat (food picture blog)
Some of these look kind of nasty, but quite a few look fairly delicious...
*sigh* Why do things that taste so good have to be so bad - I really want to try those donut fries with raspberry jelly and Bavarian cream dipping sauce.

Unlimited rentals? - That's nice, but I'd prefer the unlimited vacations!

Photo Synthesis - nature photography blog
Lots of ants, but other critters too. Excellent photography all around.

Caterpillar with glomerata wasp larvae
Wow - add another one to the list of crazy parasites.
But a word of caution - the "birth" scene is not for the weak of stomach.

Getting closer to real-life cloaking devices
I say give it ten years to become a reality, considering the progress that's been made over the last 2-3 years.

Trippy - super trippy -- the breakbeat and Alice clip is perfect on this.
Or you can just trip out without Alice with this or this.

Toxoplasma gondii
One of my long-time favorite parasites - global chances are 50/50 that you're infected. Well, depending on who you talk to, the percentages range from 30% up to 70% or more, less if you live in the USA. It's fun to watch it get broader recognition, as in the linked ABC News article. Definitely one of the most interesting (in terms of effect on humans) and widely spread parasites I've come across.
But don't forget some of the ones I linked to awhile back. That was a good Top 7 list.
Still a toss-up whether Toxoplasma gondii or the Candiru fish is scarier. Probably the fish if you're a guy, but it's fairly easy to not pee in an Amazonian river.
(Caution - don't read the Candiru article if you're squeamish - and ESPECIALLY do not check out the pictures at this site. Or the BBC video here.)
