This is the best Russian Dashcam video in existence. It sums up the entire genre as succinctly as possible: an opening moment of ordinary life quickly altered by incompetence or liquor or a combination of the two, resulting in something you've never seen before in your life. In this case: Cow Spill.

WEB From the country that brought you Big Ben:

Question: don't most people use the internet to automatically set their computer's clock? What are the complaining people using, sundials?

Here's how the BBC's own page assembles other news organization's stories on the subject, with the headlines reflecting the paper's biases:

In related BBC news - i.e., clicked on a link on the page about the BBC clock - there's this: "In 1950s, the authorities decided to turn the island into a maximum-security prison, believing that the poisonous snakes would deter inmates from any escape attempts." It's a photo tour of an abandoned Colombian Prison Island. A Sandals resort this is not.

WHOA More storm-chaser OK tornado video. One of these days they will be spontaneously narrated with droll English accents that remark upon the events with a wry chuckle. For now, it's all overamped young men cursing and encouraging the driver to go as quickly as possible, in case the gravity of the situation was no apparent to him.

OH, SURE This would be funny if it didn't involve public money and an agency some people dread because it has the power to make your life miserable and put you in jail. Other than that, it's all fuzzy-bunny. You've probably heard this part:

The line-dance video's amateurish quality is reminiscent of that other convention scandal from a few years ago. The GSA. Remember? They had a big shindig in Vegas on the taxpayer dime, and skits were also involved. As Time reported:

Anyway, that's blown over, and no one's talking about it, so whatever draconian rules were put into place - say, the maximum cost of vacation breakfast was set at $39 - have probably been loosened. Here's the best part of the IRS Conference Story, as recounted by the Washington Examiner.

They IRS can't find the receipts. Honestly, they were in a shoebox on the shelf, and now it's not there.

GAMES BuzzFeed has more on Zynga's woes, a company described on Valleywag as an operation that made millions "selling virtual hay bales on Facebook." They're laying off almost a 5th of the staff and closing two offices. They spent $180 million on OMGPOP, which made Draw Something, and has since come up with . . . Draw Something 2, which hasn't done as well. Kids, let me tell you something, based on decades of experience. I remember Asteroids. And I remember Asteroids Deluxe. I remember Centipede. And I remember Millipede. The second version is never better. Ever.

The exception is 8-Ball Deluxe, which was better than 8-Ball. Yes, the rule also applies to pinball. (See also, Pinbot, and Bride of Pinbot.)
