Being a huge Star Wars geek, this video cracked me up. A group of three Stormtroopers reminisce about the Rebels' destruction of the first Death Star using parallels to 9/11. It's pretty edgy humor, but well played by the folks at College Humor.

The best part is the "Truther" Stormtrooper who doesn't believe it was the Rebel Alliance that took down their former planet-destroying battle station.

College Humor's West Side Story-influenced take on the Internet. Pretty funny stuff.

Thanks to WTN watcher and colleague Rafael Olmeda for sending this our way.

Vince Shlomi, the spazzy Shamwow guy, can't catch a break these days. He claims to have nearly gotten his tongue bit off by a hooker he was accused of pummeling (charges were dropped). Then he got into a car crash and had to be hospitalized. Oh yeah, all in Miami Beach, of course.

Here, College Humor gives a glimpse of what life behind bars for Mr. Shamwow might have looked like had things turned out even worse for him.

Here's what happens when students obey the law.

A bunch of kids from Georgia State University got in all four lanes of a busy highway, stuck to the 55 mph limit and ... well, see for yourself at 3:40.

The stunt was created as part of Campus MovieFest, the world's largest student film festival.

Don't try that in South Florida, guys.

Our newsroom has been adopting Twitter, the oft-maligned online social networking chat/status thing that limits people to 140 characters in communiques. Personally, I've found it both useful and a great time waster (look me up at http://www.twitter.com/brianhaas).

This video was actually brought to my attention on Twitter (thanks @kevinpatterson). Fancy that.

But Twitter isn't so hot if applied to real life. Bonus points to this vid for busting out a ROFLCOPTER in public.

Do you think Grandma and Grandpa were doing this just to please the kids?

And if they practiced this before recording, why aren't they all better coordinated?

This one goes out to all my design nerd pals. Fonts as people? If that was the case, I know graphic designers who would like to take Sans Serif into a dark alley to beat up with a 2x4.

Check out Wingdings. Seriously, who uses that font?

Bat gets in restaurant. Employees go crazy, shriek loudly. Hilarity ensues.

I almost suspect a fake here, since I'm not sure surveillance cameras have audio. But I hope it's real, if only because I love this exchange: "Is that a bat?" "Go git it." "Is that a bat?" "Go git it." Repeat.

This kid needs to get together with my 13-month-old and they can start their own church. The Church of the Incoherent Babblers.

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to shoot video and it's pointed in the wrong direction? At least the camera operator seemed to recover in time to get something here...

Look, I've never robbed anyone, but I think I know this much: Using a palm frond as a weapon will not make people give you money.

Even more embarrassing is when your victim yells at you to get out, then chases you out of the convenience store with a stool.

Watch and enjoy:

And kudos to the passenger for being extremely calm. I would be cursing like a sailor and possibly smacking the driver upside the head:

As confrontations go, this seems pretty calm. Except for the yelling and the throwing of the eggs.

I like how the other people in his row just get up and calmly move out of the way, as if someone shouting and throwing eggs at the CEO of a major corporation is common practice.

This is not just a video clip, it's a cautionary tale. The mother in me is saying: "See, this is what happens when you showboat."
