Deepak Chopra- LSD is for the Enlightened Only

Good Festivus Tidings to all and sundry.

If Only James Cameron Had Seen this First.

I’ll admit to being more than a little shocked that Russ didn’t have this up first, but it’s too good to pass up.

You Are Insignificant Next to the Power of the Twits

Though I can’t independently confirm it, I’ve heard tell that this Mark Logan is actually Twitter’s official spokesperson. That fact alone makes this video pretty darn funny, though I think he should have stuck to his own rule-set and delivered his burn in under 140 characters.
