• It’s still early, but I think I’ve found a winner for Best Site of 2010:
  Nelson HaHa.
• Without a Single Throw, Tebow Rules the Combine
• Unrelated Captions are what you get when the pictures have nothing to do with their captions.
• Put your flight jacket on one of these really cool airplane hangers.
• “Inspection showed multiple lacerations and puncture wounds all over the body which could not have been caused by any other attacker than a bottle-nosed dolphin.”
• Matthew David Lopez, 18, was taken to jail on charges of wearing a mask or hood on a public road after the age of 16 years old and resisting arrest without violence.
• The Boneyard
• Apple has a new great section on their site that teaches people how to switch from PC to Mac.
• “Jenny McCarthy is back in Time magazine this week to warn more parents about vaccines and blaming medicine for giving her son autism, even though there’s no scientific evidence of any kind to support those statements, and mountains of data proving she is 100 percent wrong. … [D]octors must shake their head and think, ‘I can’t believe I’m arguing with a chick who is only here because she sold pictures of her vagina to a magazine.'”

• The sketches on Funny Or Die keep getting better. This week Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes / Spock from the new Star Trek) appears as a convenience store robber who manages to get his life on track… sorta.
• Here’s the feel-good story of the day: A Portland couple — and their ’57 Chrysler — are still going strong after 50 years.
• Slate has published an interesting article on how the brain hard-wires us to love Google, Twitter, and texting, and why that’s dangerous.
• I work with a developer in India who frequently complains that Outlook does not display messages from me correctly.

• Make sure to read TMQ’s all-haiku 2009 NFL preview.
• Daring Fireball mentioned that he hasn’t actually ever seen a Palm Pre in the wild, which might explain why its sales numbers are well below their projections. A guy in my office has one. Every time I see it I wonder what would possess someone to get anything other than an iPhone.
• AT&T says MMS for iPhones will launch on 9/25. I really don’t see why everyone is freaking about this. I don’t really like MMS. It’s simple enough to email something from an iPhone; why not just do that? Everyone was freaking about copy and paste and I didn’t understand that either. Sure C&P is a great feature, but I’ve probably used it ten times in the last 3 months… Three years ago I had a BlackBerry Pearl and before that a RAZR and I was always thrilled just to be able to actually receive telephone calls on them. As far as I’m concerned the iPhone is the best American invention since… well… the iPod.
• I completely agree with Chris Coyier: It would be brilliant to invest in Red Box… if this was 1997.
• DirecTV NFL Mobile: The most expensive free app in the world
• It took forever, but there is finally an official Flickr app for the iPhone.

So apparently there’s a whole series of these parodies, but I think “Hitler: Bloodthirsty Dictator, Die-hard Cowboys Fan” is the best. Sure, it’s no Planet Unicorn, but it’s definitely the funniest YouTubery I’ve seen this year.
