Quirky and Random
Jake Bronstein began a whisper chain that successfully passed through 59 people, a new world record. With his girlfriend Kristina Hoge completely unaware of the plan, Bronstein sent the message “Kristina, will you marry me?” around a roomful of strangers. After the proposal passed through 59 people, a random stranger whispered the message in the ear of a completely shocked Hoge. She accepted onstage in front of a jubilant, tearful crowd. No wedding date has been set.
Update: Bronstein set the record on July 14, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation Society event in New York City. Dan Rollman and Corey Henderson were present to witness the feat.
I had to reset the Karma from the post below... enjoy.
I’d say a more appropriate title would be “a shit ton of random sounds composed as a song”. Context from The World’s Best Ever:
“Earlier this year Ray-Ban had a “Never Hide Films” booth at the 2009 SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX, where close to a thousand people were able to get in the booth and record 20 seconds of whatever they wanted. We then took the 900+ video clips and gave them to SqueakE Clean (the hot DJ duo otherwise knows as N.A.S.A). They edited the video together to make a music track.”
“Ink Calendar” by Oscar Diaz.
Ink slowly spreads across the sheet, coloring in each date as it goes.
The Ink Calendar will be on display at the “Sueños de un Grifo - Diseño con Alma de Agua” exhibit which opens today at the CÃrculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
On July 3rd, Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska via an awkward, long-winded speech. As I listened to her rambling, I couldn’t help but notice that she sounded like she was gasping for air every 5 seconds.
Thankfully, Kevin over at Rumproast noticed this as well, and put together this disturbingly hilarious video of all of her deep breaths. He wrote, “No deep breaths were duplicated (she really did it that much) and the video edits are presented in the order that they occurred.”
Thanks Julia!
•I’ll be honest. I ordered the Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt based off the amazing promises I read about at Amazon.com.
When my order arrived, I was not disappointed. As the UPS truck was driving down the street with my delivery, my female neighbors began opening their doors and stepping outside. I suspect the Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt contains powerful lupine pheromones.
•Most shirts like this only contain one wolf. This shirt has three wolves, plus a moon. You are basically getting three wolves and a moon for the price on one wolf. You won’t find that deal anywhere else.
•I have been wearing this shirt for about 15 weeks and I have not needed to wash it! You don’t put this shirt on your torso you put it on your soul. The day I bought this shirt I lost 300 lbs! I got a new chevy, a new Trailer and my kids quit meth. I now know that the moon on this shirt is not a picture but the moon itself. I am the Moon Star!!!!!!!
•I purchased the 3 wolf moon shirt while on vacation in Utah but I forgot it in the hotel room. Imagine my surprise when 7 weeks later, I heard a knock at my door back home. It was 3 wolf moon! It walked all the way to my house by itself. Excellent fit, too.
Or just one Star

May 8, 2009
However, having owned this shirt for three weeks now and having tried it out in a variety of situations, both formal and informal, I'm beginning to believe that some of the benefits ---- as described by other reviewers ---- are exaggerated. For example, not ONE supermodel has approached me. Some of you may be used to having supermodels approach you on a regular basis but, believe me, I am not: I would notice one should she appear in my vicinity.
Similarly, I have not been invited to a vision quest, even though I wore my wolf shirt in New Mexico.
There is one thing, though, and that is that whenever I wear the wolf shirt I have a lot less issues with involuntary urination. I have not studied it long enough, however, to establish a cause/effect relationship.
Once, however, while wearing the wolf shirt I was mistaken for Schneider, the building superintendent on "One Day at a Time."
So I guess the jury is still out.
