Man Shreds Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger With Guitar and Spoon
by Remy Carreiro
OakfairySnyyyyggt!
They call him the “Samurai Guitarist” and he can rip and shred with the best of them. His actual name is Steven Onotera, and he is a Winnipeg based guitarist who tears it up for his YouTube channel to help bring shredding to the masses.
In this case, he gives us a stellar cover of the Daft Punk song that too many people mistake for a Kanye West song simply because he borrowed the hook. “Harder, better, faster, stronger.” The good news, with a spoon and some sick riffage, Onotera makes it all his own.
The irony will be when Kanye wants to sample this, too.

Monty Python and the Holy Livetweet
by John Scalzi
Or, what I did with my Wednesday evening.
Watching something called "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Anyone heard of it? Is it any good? Looks historical!
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
I am assured by Twitter that Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which I have never seen before, is 100% historically accurate. I believe it!

This swordfight scene is THE VERY TAINT OF VERACITY
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
Folks, I am learning SO MUCH about medieval witch detection processes! I can't believe I've never heard of this movie before!
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
I am told this "Monty Python" group of historical scholars also did a film about a minor prophet in the middle east. Interesting!

Actually, elderberries smell very pleasant. It's a shame to see such an inaccuracy in an otherwise historically accurate film.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
Grail shaped beacons were actually quite common in medieval times. So this part of the film is even more accurate than the rest of it.

Arthur had to rely on a hobo to tell him where the bridge of death was. I found it on Google Maps. Technology!
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
True fact. In Anglo-Saxon times, shrubbery was used as currency. A nice hedge was worth 50 oxen. The movie gets the gist of it.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
This film is SO much more accurate than A Knight's Tale, I can't even. Although A Knight's Tale's music was far more historically accurate.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
The herring is a historically underappreciated sawing implement. It came to England via the Vikings. This is true. Read it in a book once.

JESUS HOW COULD THEY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE DANGERS OF RABBITS THEY'RE STONE COLD MURDERERS EVERYONE KNOWS THAT
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
The Romans were defeated on the borders of Germania by a brace of rabbits. So this scene is nothing but pure buttery truth.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
I'm learning more from this movie, which I have never seen before, than my entire medieval studies doctorate program at Yale.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
Oh, another historical inaccuracy: Color blue wasn't invented until 1735. Couldn't have been anyone's favorite color at the Bridge of Death.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
Spontaneously appearing armies were very common in England and Sweden. So Arthur pulling one out of his hat at the film's end? Possible.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
And that's how the Metropolitan Police ruled England until the appearance of Henry VIII. Again: Amazing accuracy.
— John Scalzi (@scalzi) January 8, 2015
Seriously, who are these Monty Phyton historical scholars? I can't believe I've never ever heard of them before tonight! Ever!

Finally, A Firefly Board Game That Makes Sense
by James Whitbrook
Firefly is already enough of a weird property to be turning into a board game, almost 13 years after it graced (and promptly left) our screens - it's not like people haven't tried to shoehorn it into more conventional games , either. But finally, someone's gotten round to making a Firefly game that looks pretty cool.

Why a Quick Cold Water Swim Is Good for You
by Alan Henry
OakfairyHuh!
People have been taking dips in ice cold water for generations, both for pleasure and for generations-touted health benefits. It may seem crazy to plunge into freezing water for any length of time, but this video from the folks at DNews runs down some of the benefits—and sets the record straight on the dangers.

Fahrenheit vs. Celcius vs. Kelvin
by Geeks are Sexy
I have to mention that some living organism can tolerate temperatures that go down to 0 Kelvin, namely the Ozobranchus jantseanus, a leech that lives on Japanese turtles, or the Polypedilum vanderplanki (The larva of a fly), which can survive at -270°C by drying itself out completely.

Some Poor Fool Challenged Disney's Gaston to a Push-Up Contest
by Rebecca Rose
The evidence that the people playing characters at theme parks are completely awesome and hilarious continues to mount. Today's proof comes courtesy of Disney's Gaston who does not suffer fools lightly.

Wife of the Year.
by Amanda
E (grågrön i fejset): Jag har ... rätt ont i magen faktiskt.
Jag (sur): Ja du är väl inte så VAN vid sånt som en annan kanske? Bit ihop, ta en värktablett och vila bara. Slår vad om att du inte ätit eller druckit nåt sen igår heller? Fan, ibland är det som om jag har tre barn.
Det var sprucken blindtarm. Oops.
