Who says grown men can't take baths? Former Burger King employee and aspiring musician Timothy Tackett thinks otherwise. The video below shows him taking a bath in a Burger King sink.

His bathtub stunt got him and his fellow co-workers fired.

You may have heard about this Jacksonville guy who got so mad about Subway messing up his sandwich order that he called 911. Twice.

Now the 911 tape is out, and the local news in Jacksonville is all over it. Watch (and listen) to the "emergency" calls here:

I always thought it was "light going through raindrops or something." But maybe the government got to my science teachers, too.

Clearly someone out in California is onto their game. Check out the video here:

In case you're in need of hot dog eating tips on this July 4th holiday, the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council has posted this video. Seriously.

Someone should tell the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council that I can put ketchup on my hot dog after age 18 if I damn well please. So there.

I don't know that I can explain this clip much better than the description provided on YouTube. So here you go:

"Death-defying clips from the 2008 Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake, where every year fearless competitors from around the world tumble down an almost vertical hill in Gloucester, UK, chasing an 8lb Double Gloucester Cheese. It can never really be caught as it reaches breakneck speeds but the first person to cross the line at the bottom of the hill wins the coveted cheese. Thousands of spectators turned up to watch again this year, and there were also a few of the usual injuries. Thankfully St John's Ambulances were on hand to whisk the casualties away to the local hospital."

The sword fights were only hinted at in the article written about the Florida SuperCon held this past weekend, but the writer, Ms. Akilah Johnson explained at length this odd new phenomenon she witnessed. Large groups of people would line up to smack each other with foam swords. A strike on the appendage meant it had been sliced off (if your right arm was struck you would not be able to use it and if your legs were struck, you'd have to fight on your knees).

So I did a little digging around and found this interesting video of the actress who plays Nymphadora Tonks taking on some random convention attendant in the fight. Actress Natalia Tena had been invited as a SuperCon speaker along with other actors from the Harry Potter film franchise. The video is a bit too long, and you need only watch a couple minutes to get the idea. But if you want to know who wins, well you'll just have to sit through the entire thing.

Imagine if Harry Potter & Co. were puppets instead of fictional book characters, and said puppets acted out little plays on YouTube. Then you'd have Potter Puppet Pals.

Check out the latest in the series here. You can also follow this link to go to the Potter Puppet Pals web site.

No, not Dylan's, but the prolific Nuglah, better known to WTN-ers as the Unicorn Boy. He's been busy since we last left him, and has branched out into techno.

Or whatever.

At the time I first discovered him I said it was like seeing some new ground-breaking artist, say, a Terry Gilliam, experimenting with a camera. After viewing his latest, I'll add David Bowie:

When I first stumbled upon this guy, I was struck by what one viewer wrote about him having discovered some alien gender, beyond gay or heterosexual, like maybe six or seven planets away from all that.

Here's what Nuglah says of himself:

"My body lives on earth but my mind lives in a realm that is a virgin to the foot of a humbaba, it blossoms, uncorrupted by evil...It is a place where unicorns prance tenderly through a field of wild flowers of all colors,its a land full of Gans, Harpies,Sylphs,Pheonixs,alican tos, and neckbraces!!! There are thrift shops everywhere and everyone loves eachother and makes jello molds in the shape of of my head, and no one NO ONE will ever have to see a local commercial!!! Now come with my child! I shall take ye there!!!"

Here's another entry, his invitation to the Unicorn Club:

Here's an idea of something to do after your Memorial Day BBQ: Use the leftover sauce as fingerpaint!

Personally, I like to save what I don't use, but to each his own. Check out this guy's BBQ sauce art in this clip:

Here's some video I shot to accompany an article that's in today's paper [READ IT] advancing the Florida SuperCon this weekend. It might amuse you or it might scare you, the level of knowledge these guys have on the subject. One person I showed it to said these guys were hardcore nerds. Another person said it was like watching a geek-gasm.

Anyway, I had fun putting it together and I hope you guys have fun watching it:

I'm willing to bet this is going to end up on Comedy Central one of these days. This is the intro to the Frogman, a very weird animation show that runs late nights in Japan. And since what runs during the day in Japan is pretty weird, you can imagine how weird this is. It's been getting some press because it's an example of an emerging art of using cheap Flash animation to create TV shows

For years, the best American actors made huge fortunes pitching every conceivable product on Japanese TV while pretending to be crass non-materialists in America.

But now that most American actors can make huge fortunes on American television and keep their reputations, well...

They get to make huge fortunes in both countries!

Here's Arnold Schwarzenegger reminding you to take your vitamin drink. The plot here is that the Terminator is being assaulted by two yakuza, or Japanese mobsters (who often like to dress in all-white suits to stress the fact that they're Japanese mobsters). He downs the vitamin drink that's paying him huge bucks to pitch it, and turns into a mariachi version of The Terminator:

One of the joys of searching the Viral Video Universe is that it's, well, a universe. There are warm, inviting planets out there. But there are also cold, dark corners. They're no so much dangerous, as just weird and quite alien:

This man makes a whole series of videos of himself talking and doing things with Gollum-like bug eyes. And I don't mean like Susan Sarandon's:

When I saw this I had immediate flashbacks to the first episode of television that scared the hell out of me, an episode of the The Outer Limits called The Mutant. It was about an exploration to a planet called Annex One. And if you got caught outside in its radioactive rain, well....
