No wonder so many folks from every corner of the intertubes are complaining that they used to do things until they took arrows to the knee. There’s a maniac archer on the loose!

Casual Pepper-spray Cop and the Christmas Miracle
Via Copyranter, possibly the only Christmas sweater I’d ever consider buying and wearing.
Violin Mario Bros
Daniel Fincke beat me to this awesome accordion-version of the Super Mario Bros theme — wait, did I just use “awesome” and “accordion” in the same sentence? Weird Al would be so proud. Anyway, so he beat me to that meme, so I’ll just have to one-up him (*snicker*) with the violin version of the entire Mario soundtrack played at 2010’s E3.
The Evolution of Nicolas Cage’s Hair
Have I mentioned that I love In the Hall of the Mountain King? The rest of the Peer Gynt Suites less so, but they’re still worth a listen — if you’ve somehow not already heard them through their gross overuse in all manner of media since.

Images link to the sources.

Dangerous animals engaged in life or death struggle, caught on video
Caution. This video is not for people with weak stomachs.
The PhDiddy On The Scene
This video’s wending its way through the intertubes being all meme-like. If this is what it’s actually like to work at a biotech lab, I’m kind of glad I’m just a computer nerd.
Then again, being in the IT industry has its share of grind. And far fewer instances of meetings breaking out into song.
Alcohol abuse
The humanity! 7000 bottles of wine, destroyed by what could only be described as “the act of a vengeful god indeed”. Now what the hell are the residents of Sheboygan going to do?
Thanks to a WordPress mess-up, you might have seen this briefly on Thursday in the wee hours of the morning when I scheduled this for what I know will probably be a busy Saturday. :/
One new OWS photo meme that broke my heart
Those other OWS memes can’t hold a candle to this one. A US Marine posted this picture on Reddit describing his metaphorical brother-in-arms. The tear in this man’s eye choked me up.
