It takes an Aggie

Who knows if this is real, but it is pretty funny...

Sporting Dead Period

We have now entered what I consider the most boring sports period of the year. No more Mavs in the NBA Finals. The US team eliminated from World Cup. Stanley Cup has come and gone without the Stars even sniffing the later rounds of the playoffs. Now there's just... baseball. Ugh. Don't get me wrong, baseball is fun to attend a game, but it just doesn't do it for me watching it on tv game after game after game after game.

So... we can now officially begin the countdown to the REAL entertainment extravaganza... FOOTBALL! We're about 6 weeks away from the first NFL preseason game (Aug 6), about 10 weeks from the first regular season game (Sept 7). That means fantasy football drafts kick off somewhere in between for those of us who love geeking around with that.

Then there's my beloved Longhorns. We are 71 days from watching them open up their season (Sept 2) in their quest to defend the National Championship. I can't wait. In the mean time, let's take a peak back at their 2005 season! ;-)

The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments

This is a crazy video Kim emailed me. Pretty wild stuff, considering it is just Diet Coke and Mentos. You can find the original here, if you need it for some reason.

The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments:

What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It's amazing and completely insane.

The first part of this video demonstrates a simple geyser, and the second part shows just how extreme it can get. Over one hundred jets of soda fly into the air in less than three minutes.

It's a hysterical and spectacular mint-powered version of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, brought to you by the mad scientists at EepyBird.com.

Now... these guys take it to yet another level...
