Fake Freddie Vs Fake Eddie

Fake Freddie Mercury Vs Fake Eddie Vedder. Who's the best? Fake Fred, although he could do with tidying his room up a bit.

I can't stand Pearl Jam. As previously mentioned with regards to Bon Jovi, who only have 3 songs (ok, at a push they've got 5) - compared to Pearl Jam that's prolific. Pearl Jam have one song "Alive" but have sold 60 million records worldwide.

Downton Abbey Episode Re-cap (Probably)

I can't stand costume dramas. This is probably what happened last week in Downton Abbey, it reminds me of Acorn Antiques. NSFW due to language.

Ever Wondered What The Earth Looks Like From A Window On The International Space Station?

Wonder no more. It looks like this. I hope the astronauts get peanuts, miniature bottles of red wine and hot bread rolls with their window seats.

This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica.

Escaped Parrots Teaching Wild Parrots To Talk

Naturalists in Australia have reported a growing phenomenon of pet parrots that have been taught to repeat phrases by their owners before escaping from their cages and then passing on the technique to the wild flocks they join, The Daily Mail is reporting today.

One scientist said that he had received numerous calls from people who were baffled to hear voices calling to them from trees in their gardens.

‘Hello there!’, ‘Hello darling!’ and ‘What’s happening?’ are among the chorus of comments that flocks of wild birds have been repeating after picking up words and sentences from other birds that were once household pets.

Naturalist Martyn Robinson said: ‘We’ve had people calling us thinking they’ve had something put into their drink because they’ve gone out to look at the flock of birds in their back yard and all the birds have been saying something like “Who’s a pretty boy, then?” ’

Tame language for a Parrot isn't it. Can you imagine if Ruby escaped and stated breeding in the English countryside? Warning: NSFW or Small Children.

Magic Water Fountain at Osaka Station City

Isn't it lovely. Completely pointless - apart from the fact that it tells the time - but still, I wish my shower did this.

Found on the excellent Geekologie

Did The Moon Landings Really Happen?

Yes, pretty concrete evidence from the stuff they left behind, explain away conspiracy fans. The video was shot by The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), and you can watch loads more from it here.

British Winning Something Shocker

Pure skill. Further proof we are as a nation now best at sports that involve sitting down (Motor Racing, Rowing, Cycling)

Can you imagine Alan Green getting this passionate about an English football performance - he sounds more excited about Hole In The Wall nowadays doesn't he?
