Glenn Donnellan, a fiddler for the National Symphony Orchestra, crafted an electric fiddle out of a Derek Jeter-model baseball bat.

There are never enough Schwarzenegger mashups available.

This is one of those serendipitous finds that is a little bit too Meppy for coincidence’s sake. Here we have footage from Mep favorite Koyaanisqatsi set to music from progressive rock band, King Crimson, which just happens to be one of the major influences of The Road.

Ferris Bueller is the original Tyler Durden.

“-Ism’s in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself.”
