There's an old wives tale that it's bad luck when a bird flies into your window. It's twice as bad for the bird, I'm sure, it can't be great luck smashing your beak into a pane of window. Anyway, if you're not familiar with this old wives tale, it goes something like this: if a bird flies into your window, you are about to receive bad news.

Today when I was driving to work, a bird came out of nowhere and smashed into my windshield. It's as if it was a kamikaze bird, or a suicidal one. Either way, that's pretty God damned alarming when you're minding your own business and some bird flies into your windshield. I'm not sure if this is funny or not, but when it happened, I was singing a Bananarama song. I bet you thought I was going to say I was listening to a Bird's song. Well, that's too obvious now, isn't it?

Later that morning, I'm in the Timmy's drive-thru and I place my order for a steeped tea with one milk and one sugar. I get back to City Hall, open up the lid for my tea, and what do you know, they didn't put any milk in it. So there you have it, the whole *bird flying into your window and bad news will follow* tale is actually true. I'll be damned, I'll be good and damned.

Do you have 20 minutes to spare? Me either. That's why I didn't check out The Story of Stuff. However, my friend did and he said it was an excellent presentation regarding what happens to stuff when it is used up and thrown away. I highly recommend this, unless it's total crap, then feel free to blame Todd from Australia.

Do you remember that Seinfeld episode when KKKramer and some guy were in a car and they decided to see how long the car would go before it ran out of gas? Yes, it was a very funny episode, the bigot always had a way of making me laugh. Now there is a website where you can clock how long your car can go with the yellow light on before it runs out of gas. Believe me, the site doesn't suck as bad as my description of it does.

If you only get to watch one 17 second clip of a big-boned woman mashing her face on a mechanical bull today, let it be this one.

I'm not a big fan of the accordion. Hell knows, next to the bagpipe, the accordion could be used as a torture technique. And I don't mean using it to smash someone's face in with, I mean forcing the person to listen to it. However, The Flight of the Bumblebee on the accordion by some Russian dude is amazing.

Unless they're yours, kids can be funny and adorable. And although I'm sure this has been floating around the internets for some time, Kids Letters to God is pretty cute.

Oh, in case you're wondering, that bird was absolutely delicious.
