I hereby enact a central hub where anyone is welcome to post any random entertainment that isn't necissarily worthy of its own thread. We know its out there, and I know you see loads of it every day - so why not share some of it?

Here we can post anything entertaining. Jokes, funny pics, youtube links, anything you get a kick out of.
Share it!

I will begin with some very creative art by a french photographer, Alexandre Duret-Lutz.


http://artjob.ru/2007/10/18/print:page,1,s..._duretlutz.html

Theres about 52 pictures like this. After some discussion I'm still not quite sure how the trick is made, but it involves either a christmas ornament reflection, or half of a glass sphere with the camera pointing down after being hung over some object.


More examples of entertainment, Aeros approved.

CHUCK NORRIS FACTS

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

There is no chin under Chuck Norris' Beard. There is only another fist.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chuck Norris has 72... and they're all poisonous

If you spell Chuck Norris in Scrabble, you win. Forever.

In the Bible, Jesus turned water into wine. But then Chuck Norris turned that wine into beer

There are no steroids in baseball. Just players Chuck Norris has breathed on.

Chuck Norris once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him there was a stripper in it.

There are no races, only countries of people Chuck Norris has beaten to different shades of black and blue.

When Chuck Norris falls in water, Chuck Norris doesn't get wet. Water gets Chuck Norris.

When Chuck Norris has sex with a man, it won't be because he is gay. It will be because he has run out of women.

Chuck Norris doesn't actually write books, the words assemble themselves out of fear.

It takes Chuck Norris 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes

Chuck Norris doesn't believe in Germany.

Chuck Norris played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

Chuck Norris is responsible for China's over-population. He hosted a Karate tournament in Beijing and all women within 1,000 miles became pregnant instantly.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris cannot love, he can only not kill.

Chuck Norris invented the internet… just so he had a place to store his porn.

When God said, "let there be light", Chuck Norris said, "say 'please'."

Chuck Norris uses a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris.

When Bruce Banner gets mad, he turns into the Hulk. When the Hulk gets mad, he turns into Chuck Norris.

Found some really good action scenes on Youtube :)

Duel - Fighting Action Scene - Quite an impressive action sequence for an obviously low budget production.

Chow-Yun Fat Tribute - Anyone who knows me can tell you I'm a huge Chow-Yun Fat fan. The guy knows how to pull off action heroes like only Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis can.

Free Running Chase Scene - Entertaining scene from a French movie. Pretty intense.

A blonde calls her husband at work one day and asks him, "Can you help me when you get home?"
"Sure," he replies. "What's the problem?"
"Well, I started a really hard puzzle and I can't even find the edge pieces."
"Look on the box," he said. "There's always a picture of what the puzzle is."
"It's a big rooster," she said.
The husband arrives home and tells his blonde wife, "Okay, put the corn flakes back in the box."

Amazing fire and 2 explosions at a rocket fuel plant. Apparently after the Challenger disaster the company that made the rocket fuel for shuttle missions had to stockpile the stuff. Well, during routine maintenance a welder's torch touched off a fire from an unknown propane leak and the rest is history. The 2nd explosion apparently registered 1 kilotonnes of energy, the size of a very small tactical nuke. The people of the nearby town (this was in 1988) thought the Soviets were attacking. Crazy stuff!

Yeah, read up alot about that explosion and saw some specials on it...really nasty. There were hundreds of people around the proximity when the first explosion occured, firefighters and other personel and the like... there was some photos and you could see a massive tanker truck thrown like it was a stick about a mile away from the explosion. After the first one some reporters said they could see everyone still down there just running in the wilderness as fast as they could to get away from it, since more explosions followed as the fires reached more rocket fuel.

Recently a "Husband Super Store" opened where women could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended. The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you HAD to choose a man from that floor. If you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place, never to return.

A couple of girlfriends went to the shopping centre to find some husbands...

First floor
The door had a sign saying, "These men have jobs and love kids." The women read the sign and said, "Well, that's better than not having a job or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they went.

Second floor
The sign read, "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking." "Hmmm," said the ladies, "But, I wonder what's further up?"

Third floor
This sign read, "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework." "Wow," said the women, "Very tempting." But there was another floor, so further up they went.

Fourth floor
This door had a sign saying "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak." "Oh, mercy me," they cried, "Just think what must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they went.

Fifth floor
The sign on that door said,




This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are @#$%ing impossible to please.

The exit is to your left, we hope you fall down the stairs.

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says,"I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this,"

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

Two great works of two great mediums, film and music, are combined to provide a great YouTube: Equilibrium and Rob Zombie.

Posted Image

Just for the record, Equilibrium holds the record for the most onscreen kills made by a character in any movie. John Preston, played by Christian Bale, takes exactly 118 lives in 107 minutes of runtime. In total, 263 people die in Equilibrium as a whole. Good movie, fun if only for its action scenes, with the gun kata. Not the most original movie in the world beyond that, but it has one of the most ridiculous causes of a gunfight ever seen on screen.
