A recently discovered glitch in Super Mario Brothers allows you to get 128 1-ups!
The catch is, you have to beat the game first.
First you have to beat the game. Then you start a 2 player game. Next you have one player die when the vine is growing. Then the vine continues growing at the next payers turn. IF you have two trapped enemies, you can bump them for infinite free lives (but it only lets you keep 128).
I know it sounds confusing, but hey, that is what the video is for.
If you haven't seen this video yet, take a look! It is filled with really cool optical illusions and interesting visuals, and as far as I can tell, it is all done in a single take! Plus, the song is kinda catchy too!
Instead of telling your loved one that their presence is more valuable than gold, why not say "more valuable than Californium?" It is worth so much more than gold. Besides, it makes you sound like you got some fancy book-learnin'.
In news from both the "Weird Religions Department" and the "Evil Corporations Department" comes a very strange story…
The Messiah?
A federal agency says New York health care firm United Health Programs of America and its parent company Cost Containment Group forced employees to pray, to thank God for their jobs, and to tell their supervisors and co-workers "I love you."
In one example, according to the Toronto Sun
...an IT project and account manager was disciplined after she complained to management in 2010 that she was Catholic and did not want to participate in the spiritual activities, according to the complaint.
A month after she complained, the employee was removed from her office and relocated to an open customer service area, while a large statue of a Buddha was placed in her former office. She protested to the owner that the move amounted to a demotion and was fired, the complaint said.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a discrimination lawsuit on behalf of three employees that were demoted and fired for not staying in line with Onionhead doctrine.
Wait a minute… did you just say Onionhead doctrine?
Why yes, yes I did. The Onionhead religion is part of the Harnessing Happiness Foundation which just happens to be an organization created by the aunt of the accused company's owner. Onionhead is a cartoon onion and according to the foundation's website…
Onionhead is this incredibly pure, wise and adorable character who teaches us how to name it – claim it – tame it – aim it. Onion spelled backwards is ‘no-i-no’. He wants everyone to know how they feel and then know what to do with those feelings. He helps us direct our emotions in a truthful and compassionate way. Which in turn assists us to communicate more appropriately and peacefully. In turn, we then approach life from a place of our wellness rather than a place of our wounds.
His motto is: peel it – feel it – heal it
Wise words indeed.
There is an Onionhead youtube channel - badly drawn, badly written, badly animated.Here is Onionhead in Space Part 1.
Wow! That IS bad. It should be against the law to make anyone watch that crap.

There is no doubt about it, you're getting old. If you enjoy rubbing salt in wounds, you just might want go check out the website http://you.regettingold.com
From the web site's description:
Do you think time is catching up with you?
Perhaps it's already overtaken you and left you in the dust.
Do the years seem to be going ridiculously quickly now? There's a reason for it. You're getting old.
The site tells you news events from different points in your life. For example: Princess Diana died on my 33rd birthday!
You will find out disturbing facts that maybe you didn't want to know about how old you are, such as (in my case) my age equals the combined ages of the rapper B.o.B. and actress Kristen Stewart.
You will find out exactly how many years, months and days old you are. You will find out how many days you've been alive (18,194 in my case). You will find out other interesting pieces of information such as, "The moon has orbited the earth 666 times since you were born", and "Out of 100,00 people born on the same day as you, approximately 92,673 are still living." As I've been told many times by older people throughout my life, I guess that getting old doesn't sound as bad as the alternative.
So, go check out how old you are, because "You're Getting Old."
