Dion Emerges as new Liberal Leader

Dion, 51, captured the coveted Liberal crown on the fourth ballot, defeating political newcomer Michael Ignatieff, who won his first election as an MP last January in Toronto.Dion got 54 per cent of the vote, beating Ignatieff by 437 votes. His total was 2,521, compared to 2,084 for Ignatieff.
This is great news for the liberals, who will continue to have the support of anglophones but will now be better equipped to rally french canadian support as well.

Believe it or not... trailer for Rocky 6
The premise: Rocky is sitting in a bar watching tv when a commercial comes on where a video game simulates a fight between Rocky and the current heavy weight champion and Rocky wins. Seeing this, Rocky is inspired and decides he wants to get back in the ring.
"That computer fight got a lot of people curious."

Clearification.com
Demetri Martin, of the Daily Show's trendspotting segment,
has his own flash site full of weird animation and a strange story of videos about himself trying to find "clearification." Here's the first episode.
It's got a very Wes Anderson feel to it. The same kind of subtle comedy. Watch the rest of his videos at clearification.com. The website is very pretty.

The Time Fountain
If you get a strobe light fast enough, you can make it look like dripping water is going in slow motion or even backwards. This phenomenon happens because strobe lights can 'capture' an instant in time and allow your eyes to see it as lasting longer than an instant.

I don't even wanna imagine how many accidents we'd have with bollards in montreal.
Here's a pretty example of how tough the bollards are.
