This’ll teach you to be careful about which friends you let house-sit while you’re on vacation… This poor guy came home to what at first seemed like tons of wrapped gifts. Then you see the vacuum. Then the pillows, the curtain, the toilet, the fridge, the contents inside the fridge – EVERYTHING in his apartment is wrapped. Down to the cushions on the couch and the letters in the mailbox.

Holiday lights combined with Guitar Hero. Doesn’t get much more impressive than this does it? To read how it was done check out Mashable.

A chewed remote control, a dog, and $62.50 less in the bank account. For Greg Stroke, this could only mean one thing: his dog had purchased 5,000 Xbox points — worth $62 — while he and his girlfriend were asleep. Stroke saved his credit card information on his remote control to make it easier to buy video games using Microsoft Xbox points — so easy, in fact, that a dog could do it.
When the dog chewed the remote, the points were bought. “i just wish they’d make it a little harder to purchase points,” Stroke lamented.
Book of Odds is an interesting new site that lets you search for odds on just about anything. For example, not that this is earth shattering but apparently golf is safer than mountain biking.
1 in 644
The odds a golfer will be injured while playing golf in a year are 1 in 644 (US, 2006).
1 in 838.7
The odds a mountain biker will be injured while mountain biking in a year are 1 in 838.7 (US, 2006).
But you should be much more worried when you golf than when you’re out in a thunderstorm:
1 in 1,230,000
The odds a person will be injured by lightning in a year are 1 in 1,230,000 (US, 2003).

On the 4th July, Diageo Ireland is launching a new Budweiser campaign featuring a groundbreaking 60 second TV advertisement titled Lyrics. The ad won’t be shown in the US, but is worth a look as it has some incredible shots of Chicago. It was filmed over 5 days from a train as it tracked around the city in often below freezing temperatures (no surprise there!)
