In Videos: More Spongmonkeys, with 'Hover Bacon'
Finsbigfan mentioned it here, and in case you haven't see it, I think you should. I kind of love this song. LA LA LA LA LAAAA! Yeah, it's annoying. [Get your ham travel on, after the jump.]...Woman Finds Cell Phone in Bag of Potato Chips
“I will never, ever eat chips out of a bag again. They will be dumped in the bowl.” It's safe to drool. These aren't the chips in question. Emma Schweiger of Janesville, Wisconsin, found a Nokia cell phone in a bag Clancy's Ripple Chips she bought from her local Aldi's. The phone wouldn't turn on, Schweiger told the Janesville Gazette, so we're assuming she didn't call its owner and put to rest the question that surely everyone must be asking: How did it get in there? It did have a "discolored circle" on the back "as if it was once connected to a belt clip." [via Engadget]...Some People Look at Clouds and See Unicorns

Examples of occlupanids from HORG. HORG, or the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group, has spent years researching the Taxonomic Data of the Breadties of the World. These occlupanids are not just mere plastic clips that prevent loaves of bread from escaping their plastic covering—oh no. HORG explains: Occlupanids are generally found as parasitoids on bagged pastries in supermarket biomes, although a few species are found on vegetables and bulk grains, and one notable species (Uniporus) is found exclusively on vent tubing bags. Their fascinating and complex life cycle is unfortunately severely under-researched. What is known is that they take nourishment from the plastic sacs that surround the bagged product, not the product itself, as was previously thought. HORG describes five...The 10 Most Bizarre Soft Drinks
The blog Oddee has a roundup of the ten most bizarre soft drinks out there. My favorite: Diet Water: "Isn't that an oxymoron? Meet the Diet Water: all the flavor of regular water, only half the calories." Also on the list: gau jal, a soft drink made with cow urine (India); a Japanese drink with pig placenta as an ingredient; and an old favorite of ours, Kidsbeer (also from Japan), which we blogged about in summer 2007....The Dining Car Is Now Open

"It's Nannerpus!!!" It's...what? If I had watched the Super Bowl then I would've seen this Denny's commercial at the appropriate time, like before they gave away their advertised free Grand Slam breakfasts on February 3. But better late than never, as it took me about two seconds to fall in love with the eight-legged, mustachioed, pancake-loving banana. And even if the commercial is outdated, Nannerpus lives on at nannerpus.com, Twitter, and Deviant Art. Watch the video after the jump....World's Longest Carrot, Longest Sausage
Speaking of Guinness, here's the world's longest carrot (19 feet) and world's longest sausage (1,286 feet), both getting some play via the crazy-things blog Neatorama. Anyone have a recipe that could incorporate both? We could submit it to This Is Why You're Fat....Disney Eggs Are Completely Pointless But Kids Will Probably Want Them
Nothing is safe from Disney's grasp: Disney Farm Fresh Eggs are eggs with drawings of Disney characters' heads printed on them. That's it. Crack the egg and the Disney fun is gone, unless you have a Mickey-shaped egg mold, in which case you can use that to stretch the Disney theme and fry an egg that will barely resemble the plastic-looking one in the commercial. StitchKingdom.com points out that Japan has been sticking Mickey's head onto eggs for years, not that that makes it any less pointless. Not sure what the manufacturer's price is, but if you do find yourself addicted to eggs decorated with images of Mickey and friends, you can buy loads of coupons on eBay.
