Unnecessary Quotes Are Everywhere. Including The "Internet".

We know. ANOTHER blog. We thought we were the only ones doing this web crap. Still, at least it's good - chock full of signs that have unnecessary quote marks. Look at that picture: if it ain't pizza, WHAT IS IT?

Check out The "Blog" Of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks here.

Britney Spears Does Letterman. Wants To Be President. In A Bikini.

TIGHT.

As in, "She's looking...". Because she's practically naked? Yeah! Because she's practically naked. Yes, in a weirdly dull lounge, which serves only to make her look even better.

Works for us.

Red Bull Cola Laser Tags MI6. This Is WAY Cool.

So these kids rock up to MI6 on a dodgy-looking boat on the Thames River, in London, in the dead of night, in hoods... and somehow don't get shot. But the cops DO show up eventually. But only after this lot have laser tagged (it's like graffiti, but with LASERS) the crap out of a building opposite the spooks.

We want a laser tagger SO BAD.

More laser tagging fun here.

Now THAT Is How You Parallel Park. Says Tiny Kid.

Absolutely AMAZING.

TwitterWatch™: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 2010. OH YEAH.

OK. So we all know that Sports Illustrated have leaked early shots of the 2010 Swimsuit Edition. Which we love them for. We haven't stopped staring at Bar Refaeli's amazing rail-holding technique ALL WEEK.

But there are other Swimsuit girls. And you need to see them. Because they're also hot. And almost naked.

Done! But check out the TwitterWatch™ widget on the right, over there, for the latest pic updates from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit leak (the senior associate ed's feed).

      

It's The Pig Rodeo!!!

Japan has a lot to answer for. Like this. And by this, we mean pig rodeo.

BECAUSE IT'S ACE.

Although that may have more to do with the girl clinging on, dry humping for dear life.

Top 99 Spotify Tracks In The World, Right Now.

It's just that. The 99 most streamed tracks across the world, through Spotify, right now.

On the upside, it'll keep you in-tune with the global ear. If that makes sense. On the downside, it shows just how few dance tracks Spotify has managed to pull the wool over. They're scarce.

Let's hope they get onboard soon. Maybe when Spotify rewrites the streaming rules on the iPhone.

In the meantime, check out the chart on We Are Hunted + Spotify here.

That David Guetta Track. When Love - And Being Not That Busy - Takes Over.

Here's a brilliant waste of your work's time. Learn to play that piano hook from David Guetta's recent shoe-shifter When Love Takes Over (feat. that not-as-hot-as-Beyonce-one-from-Destiny's-Child), which NTB.com still likes. Even if you don't.

*sticks tongue out*

And it's none of that Mozart crap, either. It's really simple, so you can pretend you know the whole song, then just play the first bit and AMAZE people. Until they call you out on it.

No piano? Have a really basic go here!

Got Spotify? Of course you have. Play along with the original!

Men's Fall Fashion. Or Men's Autumn Fashion. Whatever You Call It, It's Here.

That should be a good thing. But strictly in the meteorological sense... it sucks. It's just another reminder that summer's almost over, without ever really showing up.

That's lame, summer. You hear us? LAME.

Anyway, the hat? It's a Finnish raccoon trapper. Yours from Bergdorf Goodman for $850 (£515).

Surfing The North Carolina Coast. Who'd Have Thunk It'd Be This Cool?

Snapper Chris Bickford has been out chronicling the surf scene of North Carolina. Why? Dunno. But it's interesting. Why? Again, dunno. Why? Give up.

Check out all the pics here.

There's more surf shots on Chris Bickford's blog here.

Listen Up: Tommy Sparks - She's Got Me Dancing.

Tommy Sparks is a London-based Swede who made this infectious tune. He also made the video, which is not as infectious. More... odd. But hey. You can't win them all.

So that aside, we like Tommy Sparks.

If you like him, too, his MySpace page is here.

The Incredible Swinging Dog!!!

More top canine fun from FOD.

No idea why dangling dog legs are so funny. They just ARE.

Get Ready To Control Military UAVs And MAVs... With Your iPhone or iPod.

This is awesome. And insane. And inching the general public a lot closer to doing the entirely mess-free job of remote killing.

Who do we have to thank for this? A woman.

From Wired:

MIT professor Missy Cummings used to fly F/A-18 Hornet fighters for the Navy. “I spent whole time complaining — who was the moron who designed this thing?” she recalled. If you’ve ever peeked inside a fighter cockpit, you’ll understand her gripe. Dials, displays and controls pack every nook and cranny. It’s the farthest thing from ergonomic.

The problem stuck with Cummings, after she got out of the Navy. She went on to get a Ph.D. in “cognitive systems engineering” before getting hired at MIT, where she heads the Humans and Automation Lab, or HAL. “There’s a joke in the name,” she pointed out.

Her crew of 30 grad students and undergrads is chasing a number of new ideas and technologies, all aimed at easing the sometimes unwieldy interactions between machines and their human masters. As an example, she refers to the complex, suitcase-sized controller that soldiers must haul around to control hand-thrown Raven unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Cummings wants something simpler. And what could be simpler than an iPhone?

Actually, using an iPhone was her undergrads’ idea — because experimenting with it as a basis for a new robot controller meant she’d have to buy them all iPhones of their own. “We had the idea in June,” Cummings told Danger Room. “In six weeks, we went from the idea to a real flight test,” using MIT’s indoor robot range. The total cost? $5,000 for a new, commercially available, quad-rotor robot — plus the cost of iPhones for her crew.

And there's a newer video showing how they've got it to fly to waypoints here.

Amazing 3D Wall Fascia Art Installation Thing.

As you can tell, we've no idea what this is or how it works, but props to the folks over at Urbanscreen who came up with it.

That is all.

Remi Gaillard Is An Astronaut On A Golf Course.

And surprisingly funny for a Frenchman.

And there's more golf fun, but not before hitting the beach first for his production of Saving Private Remi. It's phenomenal. And here.

Still, can't help but think if you tried the same thing anywhere else in the world other than France, you'd be shot dead by armed police before you even exited the boat. Much like Normandy, appropriately enough.

More on Remi here. And his own site is here.

The Dark Knight: Tangerine Remix. Weird. But Watchable.

If you don't like the word "tangerine", you're not going to like this.

Not one bit.

Miniature Horse Is A Dwarf As Well. Christ That's Bad Luck.

This is Koda, an American miniature horse in Yarranbat, Australia, that's been born with dwarfism. Which means he's now so small - about the size of a Labrador and weighing just 35kg - that he think cats are hot. Which is why he's got his nose tucked into this pussy.

He's also ACE at posing for snaps. As proven by this pic of him, which only leaves one question unanswered: what's he doing in the front seat of the car?

World's Most Awesome Weapon Yet: The Vortex Cannon!!!

We HAVE to have one of these.

What this video fails to answer: what would happen if you swung it around 360 degrees, aimed it directly into the face of the improbably-named presenter-idiot, Jem Stansfield, and let rip with a 200mph death cloud.

Maybe next time.

JK: The Divorce Video!!!

You've seen the JK Wedding Dance. Now it's the divorce!

And if you haven't seen the original, why not take them past the 16 million views mark and have a look now. It's here.

Oh and here's how the JK Wedding couple found themselves royally screwed in New York.

The Amazing Nut Kick Machine.

To be honest, it's not that amazing. But it is always good to see a fat kid take one in the ballsack - although we'd have to point out there could surely be no guarantee the boot was going to find its way through the excess tissue and pin-point the nuts. So effectively, this is like a low-budget remake of that scene in Star Wars where Luke has to fire off the photon torpedoes through the tiny hole in order to kill the Death Star. Which is apt, as this kid is about the same size as Darth's space station.

Bet they said they'd be his best friend if he agreed to it.
