The Telegraph lists their 50 Best Cult Books - What? No Judy Blume?

This has already started hitting the US newswire but - Austrian man hid his daughter in the cellar for 24 years, fathering seven children with her. - There is nowhere near enough WTF in the world to cover this.

11 Signs You’re No Longer a Hard-Core Gamer - My own list would have to include ‘haven’t finished Twilight Princess or Super Mario Galaxy yet’.

Volkswagen’s 70MPG Diesel Hybrid - Aw, man.. Diesel? Still, not a bad looking car.

All about Starcade - I’ll confess I have no memory of this show, but pitting celebrities against video games? Brilliant! I mean c’mon, all the fun of watching someone else play video games, but with the added bonus of never getting a turn? How could that fail?

Anyone care to enlighten me as to what show this is from? And why ‘fuck’ isn’t bleeped but ‘pussy’ is?

Watch ‘How Not to Pick Up Women‘.

Update: Thanks to a tip from Florian, I believe I’ve tracked the point of origin down: Snuff Box, which makes the actors Matt Berry (the not-so-chivalrous one) and Rich Fulcher (the dim one).

This clip is a compilation of the various times this bit has been used via the rather surreal sketch show.

The Daily Mail shares a collection of the first color photographs (technically autochromes) of Britain circa 1913. Keen!

Invincible Super Blog wants you to know there is a candidate of change. And he deserves your vote.

After all, think of the stop-loss measures this guy can roll out: Instead of soldiers boo-hoo’ing until they go home, we get an army of super-soldiers built from the DNA of Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan, and motherfucking STORM SHADOW.

Saturday day is alright for fightin’. As a little weekend treat, have a collection of sweet fight scenes from films like Mortal Kombat, Star Wars, Kung Fu Hustle, and more…

More kick-ass ass kickin’ after the jump…

Your summer-slamming, face-rocking, flag-waving dose of kick-ass.

Guaranteed to kick your weekend into high gear (and squar’ly in the squishies)

The fairly comprehensive list of [X] Does it With [Z] statements. - I’m trying to imagine the car that has every one of these as a bumper sticker.

An interesting look at how (and why) our squishy bits got the way they are - Science is sexxxy as hell.

On the other side of the equation: Penis theft panic hits city - I find it strange we live in a world where city officials have to deal with this kind of thing.

Violet Blue Interviews pron star Lorelei Lee about the differences between sex work and sex not-for-work - Not discussed: The difference between Ron Jeremy and a bipedal hedgehog.

Belgium shows the world they don’t need VanDamme to kick ass - 1,500 Belgian students set the world record for Diet Coke/Mentos explosions.

Apparently it took a semester to figure out what most of us could have guessed - YouTube sucks as a classroom.

Here’s a nice and relaxing timewaster for your Friday afternoon fun: Compulse is a motion physics game that asks nothing more of you than to get your ball to the exit via a combination of directional pushers. Of course, it’s rarely as simply as that as each level has a ‘par’ and ‘pro’ level of pushers to aim for.

Neat stuff, and waaaaaay more engrossing than you think.

Play Compulse

Cool visuals all around, though.
