Overnight Open Thread (3 Feb 2013)

Well, I guess the 49ers decided to show up. Must've been a Niners fan that killed the lights so they could kill the Ravens momentum. I still can't root for either team. But hey, at least there was the Puppy Bowl today. Sad news though. No Lingerie Bowl at halftime this year.

Iranian Stealth Fighter

I can’t stop laughing. No really. Here’s Iran’s so-called Stealth Fighter. I can’t help but think it’s more for a parade than actual combat. You make the call.

Mr. & Mrs. Sith

I don’t think Disney will have something like this in Episode VII.

History Animated

This is pretty nifty. History Animated.

Camel Spiders

Here's the truth on Camel Spiders. Evidently they aren't as bad as depicted in this video (or as related from those that have been deployed to Central Command region).

Barbie Restaurant

I guess the Hello Kitty thang has run its course. Time for a Barbie Themed Restaurant. And of course, some feminists have their panties in a twist over it.

Rhiannon Williams, editor of feminist website The Vagenda Magazine, commented on the café: “I cannot imagine anything less pleasant and more nausea-inducing than a Barbie themed restaurant. Not only because I prefer low-impact environments and none of the major food groups are pink for a reason, but also because Barbie is an outdated model of stereotypical femininity and needs to die a death.”

Self Defense

Wow. Clerk Chases Off Robber With Gun, Loses Job For Having A Weapon. Terrible move by the company. If they don't provide security for their employees, then one should be able to have their own self defense means. It's obvious that the perps aren't following the weapons free policy. Love his quote at the end though.

Despite the loss of his job, he says he'd do the same thing again.

"It's easier to get another job than it is another life. I don't regret the decision."

Music Video

How about a little humorous ditty. NSFW even though it has Michael Bolton in it. For realz.
