I find the stuff on the Married To The Sea webcomic to be quite hilarious. This particular comic strip with a steampunk reference is especially funny.

I just adore the casually playful nature of the song ‘Hey Hey Hey’ by Room Eleven, a band based in Holland. Singer Janne Schra’s voice has been described as “a juicy green meadow, just after sunset, covered in fresh dew.”
Fittingly enough, the official video for the song is as light and summery as the music itself.

Meena Kadri, a design educator who has worked in various parts of the world, has put together some spectacular photographs of Coca Cola’s marketing campaign in India, which, owning to the country’s incredible diversity and scores of spoken languages, is considered to be one of the world’s toughest markets for an international brand to gain a foothold in.

Stefan created the droplets of water in the video using RealFlow and 3D Studio Max.
You can download the video in Flash and Quicktime formats at Stefan’s official site.

This is a yummy slice of tech history. Back in 2006, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sketched this conceptual, um, sketch of Twitter’s original UI on a notepad.
Snip from the description on Flickr:
The 6th year; the idea has finally solidified (thanks to the massively creative environment my employer Odeo provides) and taken a novel form. We’re calling it twttr (though this original rendering calls it stat.us; I love the word.ed domains, e.g. gu.st). It’s evolved a lot in the past few months. From an excited discussion and persuasion on the South Park playground to a recently approved application for a SMS shortcode. I’m happy this idea has taken root; I hope it thrives.
Twitter has grown and thrived beyond its creator’s original estimates, which, paradoxically, is proving not to be such a great thing for the service.

I found this amazing collection of vintage Italian adult comic book covers on Flickr. The gallery includes covers of the infamous “Isabella” comic, illustrated by the great Sandro Angiolini.
The artsy covers feature some buxom Italian beauties in various states of undress, so it’s completely fun, but NSFW.
Ah, Flickr. You just keep on giving.

This slightly macabre print ad by TBWA, Paris, for Hansaplast earplugs brought a wry smile to my face. The copy in the ad reads “You have never slept so deep.”

The animated, Direct-to-DVD Batman: Gotham Knight is a series of six animated tales set between the events of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Completely dark and somber in tone, the films in the series were written by some talented, award winning writers like Alan Burnett and Josh Olson (of A History of Violence fame). And as with the very brilliant Animatrix, the films were all created by top Japanese Anime artists and directors.
The animated anthology is a rare specimen in the DC universe, as it’s to be released under a PG-13 rating in the U.S. and a 15 rating certificate in the United Kingdom on July 8.
Watch a five minute clip from an episode in the series titled "Crossfire."

This incredible catch taken by a minor league ball girl, will probably be the most stunning thing you will see all day.

With over 2 million views (and counting) on various video sharing sites, “Where in the Hell is Matt ?” is the most popular viral video of the moment.
Matt, a self-confessed “deadbeat from Connecticut”, shot the feel-good video in over 42 countries, with a cast running into the thousands. The sense of joie de vivre exuded by ordinary folk in the video is quite palpable and infectious.
The lyrics of the song “Praan” accompanying the video, were adapted from the poem “Stream of Life” by Rabindranath Tagore, Asia’s first Nobel Laureate.
If you have the bandwidth to spare, do watch the video in HD.
To know why he decided to make this video, visit Matt’s website to know more.

The Editing Room has put up an unofficial, strictly tongue-in-cheek script for the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie.
Warning: Spoilers ahead !
Snip from the script:
HARRISON FORD
Holy shit, a nuclear bomb! I’ll hide in this lead-lined fridge to protect myself from the radiation that will permeate the area shortly after the ten-million degree heat generated by the blast is done obliterating every single object in a 5 mile radius!
Somehow, this WORKS. HARRISON FORD emerges from the fridge with his face covered in black soot, holding a sign that reads “ouch.”
INT. MARSHALL COLLEGE
HARRISON teaches his film class entitled “How To Ruin Millions Of Childhoods In 2 Hours” when he is interrupted by the DEAN, JIM BROADBENT.
JIM BROADBENT
Sorry Harrison, but the government thinks you might be a Soviet. Apparently someone rented “K-19: The Widowmaker” and panicked.
HARRISON FORD
Bullshit, nobody saw that movie.
