Creepy piano juggler

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 10:04:00 +0000

The guy is good. He combines juggling with playing piano….and throws in a creepy puppet in a rocking chair and a mark that won’t stop staring. What more could you ask for?

World’s Weirdest Hotels (Guest Post)

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:50:00 +0000

Hotels used to be straightforward. A place whereby the weary traveller could rest his/her tired body in a clean bed with an option of breakfast in the morning. As a function they are used by businessmen and women, holidaymakers and couples. These days however, there is an increasing focus on a move towards themes. This is something which has become ever more apparent as the recession has made competition so fierce that other marketing strategies have become necessary. Themed hotels have proved a success as their popularity is clear. Kids in particular appreciate the extra excitement involved in staying in a non conventional hotel. Whilst this is all very good for business, there are some themed establishments which really are questionable and maybe should never have become a themed hotel in the first place. Lego Land (UK) Img Lego is a favorite toy the world over and has passed down from generation to generation but isn’t it going a little far to base a hotel on...

In the land of Procrasti-Nation

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:56:00 +0000

Amen to that! This is actually one of my favorite images that I have seen recently. Even people who aren’t huge procrastinators can certainly relate to this. But a true procrastinator has travelled the world 10 times over….daily. I love the “Isle get it done” especially. Hehe.

When I die, delete my browser history

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:47:00 +0000

Medical Alert bracelets are usually to signal to emergency medics if you have a potentially life threatening issue. That might be something like epilepsy, autism, food allergies, etc. This one, though, is to replace the age old “hey buddy, if I ever die, there’s a box in the back of my closet…..” In my case, deleting my browser history would simply clear up a couple gigs worth of junk. :P I practically never clear it and I visit hundreds of sites daily. Oops.

The most easily scared man in the world

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:38:00 +0000

Haha! I didn’t think I would enjoy this video at all. I started getting bored only a few seconds in. This guy really is over-the-top jumpy, though, even if he’s expecting to get scared. Too funny.

What do men and women wear to formal functions?

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:35:00 +0000

That looks about right, huh? I hate trying to figure out what to wear to weddings and whatnot. Guys have it so much easier. Even if they’re overdressed, they still look great and it’s acceptable. When women overdress, all the attention gets put on them and it’s not always appropriate at all.

Zippo Emergency Fire Starter Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:53:00 +0000

I first started getting this giveaway lined up for you guys back in September. You know....that month that wasn't last month, but the one before that? Yeah... That month way back when was also Disaster Preparedness Month, which is why this giveaway was so timely and fitting. That may have passed, but the need to stay prepared has not. Seeing as how part of the reason I wasn't able to get to this sooner was because Hurricane Sandy hit my area and then was followed up by a lovely nor'easter, I think now is just as fitting as ever. I have been talking to people on a daily basis now who are still without power or are scared they may lose it again at any time, and they simply aren't prepared for it. One of my biggest concerns throughout all of this were the people who were without power. With winds being upwards of 45+ miles per hour....and the temperatures dropping below 30.... those people without power were also without heat usually. Ouch. An easy source of heat is fire...

8 Ways to Entertain Your Children (Guest)

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 19:55:00 +0000

Today's guest post is brought you by Angelina Lawson. Thanks! When you are blessed with a family, you are always searching for different ways to entertain your children. You want to enrich their lives, make sure they enjoy themselves and have quality time together. If you find yourself in London, there are a host of things you can do to occupy your children. Plan ahead and use a little creativity to keep everyone actively engaged. 1. Take a look at the box office and discover what the London theatre has to offer. There are many excellent theatres in London and family-oriented shows are always part of their productions. Currently, "The Wizard of Oz," "Lion King the Musical" and "Shrek the Musical" are only few of the most popular choices that are intended for children but it is no surprise to find that it will be enjoyed by the entire family also. 2. When planning your visit to the London theatre, make a day of it. Stop in at the Harrod's to do a little shopping before...

Do glasses make you funnier? (Guest)

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 20:40:00 +0000

(Thanks to Victoria for this guest post) Do glasses make you funnier? According to a report in March, some of Britain’s top comedians are earning up to £20million a year. With such enormous success, it’s easy to notice just how many of these funny stars wear glasses. For all celebrities, creating a memorable look can be essential for gaining popularity a good reputation. Could their glasses be partly a reason for their success? Let’s take a look at the top comedians and their choice of glasses... Harry Hill has enjoyed years of success and gained a reputation as a quirky oddball with a unique zany sense of humour. For Harry, his clothing and overall image are a huge part of his slapstick comedy act, such as his platform shoes and oversized shirt collar. His glasses are no exception to this character and add to his wacky image. He favours a pair of semi-rimless frames in a winged black shape. Next up it’s Stephen Merchant, best friend of Ricky Gervais and all-round funny guy....

Glow in the Dark Car Paint May Increase Driver Safety (Guest)

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:09:00 +0000

(Thanks to Paul for this guest post) Glow in the Dark Car Paint May Increase Driver Safety Drivers are always looking for ways to increase safety and decrease accidents. Car manufacturers equip cars with reverse cameras, motion sensors, and vibrating seats that alert you when a car is approaching at a dangerous speed. But the answer to nighttime driver safety may just be a paintjob. Glow in the dark paint not only adds style to your car, but may also help in reducing nighttime accidents. How it Works Glow in the dark paint has been used for all types of products to add a little flare and fun. With the introduction of glow in the dark paint on automobiles, car owners are styling their cars like never before. The look is like something out of a science fiction movie. The paint is invisible during the day, but at night the car lights up and shows off the colors. The paint is made from nano-particle blends of non-organic materials. They are...

What do color blind people see?

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:14:00 +0000

This is what happens every time a person finds out another person is color blind. Beware: Says the ‘F’ word toward the end rather loudly, but it’s worth it. Just don’t listen while your boss is nearby unless he’s one of those really cool bosses that will love this sort of thing. Guy describing color blindness - Funny video

Remixed eHarmony cat dating profile - Can’t hug every cat

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:54:00 +0000

If you haven't seen the original, you might want to check it out, too. Basically, a girl does a video for her eHarmony dating profile, and it turns into lots of tears and cat talk. The Songify version? Remixed, set to music, autotuned, and filled with cat video clips. Don’t you just love the internet?

Blind kitty acts as a normal cat

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:27:00 +0000

Meet Oskar. Oskar’s eyeballs never formed, so his eyelids are fused together and he is completely blind. But if you watch this video of him from the day after he was adopted, he plays like a normal seeing kitty would….and is just as adorable. :)

The Best of YouTube videos compilation

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:22:00 +0000

Using Bohemian Rhapsody as background music for videos is really overdone, but in this case, works awesome. If you pay attention to the lyrics while watching, you’ll notice how well synced up they are, too. I love how perfect the Mentos show is for the end of the song, too.

Most Bizarre College Courses in America (Guest)

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:30:00 +0000

Each year, American colleges offer a number of courses apparently for no reason at all. Here are some of this year's offerings that students can take as part of their curriculum. The Joy of Garbage – Santa Clara University Students can receive 4 units of credit by tracing the pathway of garbage disposal, which according to the syllabus are dumped on minority communities or shipped abroad. I thought our counties went to the big landfill in the canyon, but I guess I was misled on all those field trips I took to the waste management plant. This class costs students almost $5000 to take. Harry Potter: Finding Your Patronus - Oregon State University Part of mandatory freshman orientation, this class is designed to teach leadership around a Harry Potter theme. Unless they teach a spell to learn calculus, this class seems just silly. Theatrical Fencing – University of Wisconsin Distinct from actual fencing, students in the class fence with a wooden weapon that they must provide....

First grader doing Youtube makeup tutorials - Adorable!

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 00:39:00 +0000

She’s so awesome. If you’ve ever watched a makeup tutorial on YouTube before, you’ll know that this little girl knows what she’s doing…..check out how she holds the makeup up to the camera certain ways and some of the phrases she uses are identical. Coming from a first grader, I love it. She’s obviously having fun but also really wanting to teach other people how to “achieve the same look.” Right now, she has several Halloween tutorials coming out and even shows how to make some of the costumes to go with the makeup.

Bizarre Alien Invasions - Plants and Animals, That Is (Guest)

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 00:33:00 +0000

(Hey guys, I know it’s been really slow around here. I’m working to get back on track again. In the meantime, here’s a guest post from Justin.) When you first hear about invasive species, the image that may come to your mind most quickly is that of aliens coming to take over the earth and driving out the human species. However, if you've ever taken a class on ecology either in real life or in an online school, you may know that this term is reserved for animals and plants that have been displaced and are doing so well in their new environment that they are destroying local species. In this modern world, species become misplaced all the time, and here are just a few of the ones that are doing some damage. In the plant world, bizarre invaders are often guilty of hurting or driving out other plants. For example, in many places in California, they're dealing with a parasitic vine called Japanese dodder. It makes kudzu, a vine known as “the Plant that Ate the South,” look tame....

Life is like an awesome bank - Make the most of today

noreply@blogger.com (Quirky Jessi) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 00:48:00 +0000

“Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank. Its name is time. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against “tomorrow”. You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success. The clock is running. Make the most of today.”
