Overnight Open Thread

And now here's something we hope you'll really like.

The World Boobage Size Chart

Finally a scientific study results in something that the average man can relate to. I don't know if this chart is self-reported like the World Penis Size Chart but I would imagine that there's a bit more firm data on boobage sizes. But as they say any more than a handful of data points is a waste.

No real surprises here although I would have expected that Britain would come out on top in Europe since I've always read that British ladies are the bustiest in Europe. Plus all my pictorial research seems to back this up. Clearly more studies are called for in this area.

Blunt Opinions on the 2012 GOP Presidential Field
Here Doug Ross handicaps the field. I'd say the odds are 95%+ that one of these 16 people will be the 2012 GOP nominee so you might as well start deciding who you prefer and also who you could live with over a second-term Obama.

Who Actually Needs Oil?
Via CDR Salamander comes this chart showing where oil demand is heading for major countries in the world. Right now China is loaning us the money to keep their access to oil safe. Which is win-win for them as long as we don't end up defaulting or inflating too badly.

Why isn't China more involved? Simple; they really don't feel a "moral" reason to do anything for anyone as long as they get what they need. As for stability, they are content to be free riders on the USA's work. If we want to borrow money from them in order to defend their interests - fine with China.

If You Run, You'll Only Die Tired
Here some Taliban planting an IED are tracked by American spotters. Soon Mr. AH-64 comes calling and their evening takes a decidedly negative turn. Sadly there was some collateral damage to innocent trees.

Video: How A Tsunami Destroys A City
Here's a newish video showing how the tsunami destroyed the city of Kesennuma. It almost seems more like a movie special effects sequence until you realize that all the cars bobbing in the wave weigh almost a ton each. At around the 3:00 mark the man shooting the video points out a person floating in on the wave.

What Was Happening On This Day in 1961

Manly Skills: How to Fix Your Gas Water Heater

35 Strange Doritos Flavors From Around The World
But mostly Japan. How come we don't get sausage and fried chicken-flavored Doritos here?

What The Intertubes Is Really Built On
Underneath the turtles it's kittehs all the way down.

Got $1.50 And A Sense of Adventure?
Then any of these classic homes could be yours. There's just one catch. But then who hasn't wanted to live out their Omega Man fantasies in real life?
