In which we discover that juggling and Rubik's Cubes can be cool

The craziest thing is that he doesn't even look like he's trying.  I have to make my stupid tongue-sticking-out focused face when I want to type with two hands at the same time, and he just kinda laughs his way through jugglesolving a Rubik's Cube.

The Internet does not always solve all of my problems

So, I just spent about thirty minutes trying to figure out if there is any way to set an animated gif to play a sound along with it, because these are the things that I do with my time, I guess.  .gifs are an image file format, so obviously they can't contain any audio data, but I really would have thought that someone would have made a website where you can upload a gif, upload an audio track, and have it spit out a video combining the two.  The closest I was able to come was gifsound.com, which as far as I can tell shows you a gif next to a Youtube video while hiding the video so you hear the sound and watch the gif.  Anyway, if anyone knows how to take my results here and make a single file from it, let me know.  In the meantime, hit play on this:

And watch this:

TV interviewers find people with the strangest jobs sometimes

Need help deciding between the Mexican blend and the Monterey Jack cheese for your nachos?  Just ask this guy:

"Why yes, I know a great deal about cheese.  Where you at, ladeeeez?"

Having trouble with an oversized entranceway?  I've got a guy for that:

"I didn't choose the big door life--you could say it's more of a calling, really." 

 What about if you find that your knowledge of adult film history is lacking?  Yes, there's a guy for that too:

"Oh, yes.  1973 was a apecial year for the industry--a real turning point for filmmakers in many ways.  It also marked my own first foray into the genre, an experience which has obviously changed the course of my life."

What if you need--ah, fuck it, you'll never need this guy.

"No, wait--I think you misunderstood.  I'm an expert in kidnapped brides, not an expert at kidnapping brides--where are you going?  Is the interview over?"

Today in science: how to dance better, if you are a computer avatar

Scientists in England have studied dance moves, attempting to determine "the dance moves that will capture a woman's heart".  As a person who is terrible at dancing, this should be of great value to me personally.  So, what's the key?

Apparently the speed of a man's right knee and the size and variety of movements of the neck and torso are key

Sucks for all you left-kneed assholes.

Throughout the animal kingdom examples abound of males performing courtship dances, attracting females with displays of health and skill. Dances are sexy among humans as well

Health and skill?  So I should probably stop doing the Bernie all the time, then.

The men in the study wore 38 small reflectors all over their body, which the systems monitored to capture the motions of the dancers in three dimensions — the same technique filmmakers used to help create the character of Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" movies. These movements were mapped onto featureless, white, gender-neutral humanoid characters, or avatars.

Chicks dig gender-neutral humanoid avatars

 He added: "We now know which area of the body females are looking at when they are making a judgment about male dance attractiveness.

Heyoooooooo!  Oh, wait, they're talking about the right knee.

faster bending and twisting movements of the right knee also seemed to catch the eyes of women

Got it, sorry.  Won't happen again.

"The hardest thing is to recruit males to take part," Neave told LiveScience. "They seem rather reluctant to sign up for studies that involve dancing." 

Males who were not typically dancers were hesitant to have electrodes taped to them while they dance in front of scientists so they could be turned into featureless, mannequin-like avatars which would be judged on their ability to attract women?  Shocker.  Anyway, here's the videos of the "good" and "bad" dancing avatars.

Good:

So...jog in place + wax on, wax off?  Got it.

Bad:

Go home avatar, you are drunk 

Science!
