FRIDAY VIRAL VID - FAINTING KITTENS TOO CUTE JUST TOO CUTE...INTERNET YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN...
(text on the youtube post)charlie and spike are two kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome. at the slightest sound, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats. The kittens are able to walk, but they cannot run or jump. aside from this they are normal.
OFFICIALLY THE WORLDS BIGGEST BIG MOUTH
Francisco Domingo Joaquim Wide angle lens required.
The 20-year-old, who can fit a can of fizzy pop – sideways – in his flexible gob, won the World’s Widest Mouth title at the Big Mouth competition in Rome.
The ‘jaw of awe’, as he’s apparently known, shot to stardom on the streets of Angolan capital Luanda – and was tracked down by Guinness Book of World Records researchers, who spent two years trying to find him. It was ‘a dream come true to be honoured by Guinness World Records’, he said. The YouTube sensation’s drinks tin insertion beat jaw-dropping talent from around the world, with contestants cramming their cakeholes with saucers, coffee cups and beer bottles. He’s even performed on Italian TV, popping a can in and out of his mouth 14 times in a minute.

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - 3D GRAFF ARTIST BREAKS NEW BOUNDARIES
(thanks broadsheet.ie) London-based street artist Alexander Farto (fnarr) aka Vhils (oh, right) makes incredible 3-D layered portraits by painting, etching and chipping away the surface of walls. And he doesn’t stop at walls. He also applies his considerable skill to metal, wood, billboards, you name it. You can see a full gallery of his many works here.
SEEING IS BELIEVING, RIGHT??
Horizon explores the strange and wonderful world of illusions - and reveals the tricks they play on our senses and why they fool us.
We show how easy it is to trick your sense of taste by changing the colours of food and drink, explain how what you see can change what you hear, and see just how unreliable our sense of colour can be.
But all this trickery has a serious purpose. It's helping scientists to create a new understanding of how our senses work - not as individual senses, but connected together.
It holds the intriguing possibility that one sense could be mapped into another. This is what happened to Daniel Kish, who lost his sight as a child. He is now able to create a vision of the world by clicking his tongue which allows him to echolocate like a bat.
And in a series of MRI scans, scientists are now looking to find out if Daniel's brain may have actually rewired itself enabling him to use sound to create a visual image of the world.
The chair illusion known as the Beuchet Stuhl chair shows us how easily our sense of vision can be fooled.
At the University of Osnabruck in Germany, a group of scientists have been developing the remarkable 'feel-space' belt which allows the wearer to feel the earth's magnetic field, just like birds do. For six weird weeks twelve volunteers wore the vibrating sensory belt every moment of their waking day and sure enough at the end of their trial all the evidence suggests that they managed to incorporate their new sense, navigating their way around the world instinctively by-passing the need for attention altogether.

COBH COMEDIAN KEITH FARNAN CO-HOSTS RED@WORK FRIDAY LUNCHTIME!
Whilst working in a restaurant in the USA, Cobh native, Keith came across this old-fashioned sign in the manager’s office. Stranger still is that the employees consisted of a young African-American, a Jewish waiter and his Irish self, but no dogs to be seen, so perhaps certain prejudices never die. ‘No Blacks. No Jews. No Dogs. No Irish. All Welcome’ is the exploration into racism and religion-ism in the bad old days as well as the issues raised by immigration today. Critically acclaimed comic Keith Farnan has always found being Irish an advantage – who doesn’t love a good old Irish accent whilst sipping on a pint of stout? But it wasn’t always like this and signs such as “No Irish Need Apply” were commonplace where the Irish landed in droves. So what happened to change people's mind? And how have the Irish treated their own immigrants over the years? A former qualified solicitor practicing in litigation, who studied in UCC Keith has performed all over the world, from the Boston International Comedy Festival to the Middle East. His debut show ‘Cruel and Unusual’, a comedy show against the Death Penalty in America, garnered much attention from media and punters alike at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and went on to become part of the Royal Festival Halls Xmas Festival in London as well as the N20 Comedy Festival and a feature on BBC Radio 4. A regular at prestigious comedy venues such as London’s Comedy Store and Dublin’s Laughter Lounge, Keith’s television credits include ‘One Night Stand’ (BBC) and ‘Liffey Laughs’ (RTE) and he has written for and performed in ‘The Insomniac Club” for BBC Radio.
So in this hilarious hour of political queries and investigation, expect lots of questions, very few answers but plenty of laughs! It’s the perfect way to spend a Friday night!

KILLING BONO COMING SOON...
Plenty of schoolchildren dream of becoming famous singers, but when a boy on the other side of the classroom goes on to become one of the most famous rock stars in the world, you could end up feeling a little overshadowed. That is exactly what happened to Neil McCormick, who went to school with a boy called Paul Hewson - better known these days as U2's Bono. So could it be jealousy then that inspired the title of the new movie 'Killing Bono', which is based on Mr McCormick's memoirs. The story, set around U2's formative years in a north Dublin comprehensive school, is told from the point of view of the rather less successful rival band which Mr McCormick and his brother set up in the late 1970s. The film will be directed by Nick Hamm. "Killing Bono" which has been described as an "Irish music-based comedy" will feature music from Castledawson singer/songwriter Joe Echo. Neil McCormick, who now works as a music critic for the Daily Telegraph, published his autobiography, 'I Was Bono's Doppelganger' in 2004, which included a foreword by the singer.

VIRAL VID OF THE DAY - LIKE A BOSS (NSFW)
DEDICATED TO ALL THE BOSSES WHO HAVE SCREWED US & OUR COUNTRY OVER...THANKS LADS! NEED AN EXAMPLE?? HERE'S WHAT BROADSHEET.IE HAS TO SAY ABOUT MICHAEL 'FINGERS' FINGLETON...
FORMER Irish Nationwide chief Michael Fingleton claimed almost €450,000 in holiday pay as he exited the ailing building society, the Irish Independent has learned. Mr Fingleton was paid the sum for “untaken leave” as part of the massive €2.4m package he received from Irish Nationwide Building Society in 2008.
(Irish Independent)
Michael J Fingleton Esq. A bluffer’s guide:
* He was in charge when the bad loans were given,
* These included included €10m EACH for rogue solicitors Micheal Lynn and Thomas Byrne, overruling his own staff in the process.
* In 2002, he had an affair with a female subordinate resulting in a €200,000 settlement.
* And the remaining staff?
Its 300-strong workforce have no idea what will happen to their jobs as the small building society will almost certainly be merged with another company in the near future.
They are among the lowest paid in the industry who, up until a few years ago, were still clinging onto the hope that their boss, Michael Fingleton, would succeed in demutualising the building society giving them all a big pay day.
“Fingleton was constantly promising there would be a golden egg for everyone while he was paying us buttons,” one staff member says.
* So far, Fingleton is the only one to take a “golden egg” from Irish Nationwide, walking away with €27m of the society’s total €36m pension pot.
BE ANGRY YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE...BUT MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR VOTE ACCORDINGLY...
HOLY K-WRAP BATMAN! ARMLESS PIANIST WINS CHINA'S GOT TALENT
Lost his arms from an accident at age 10, Liu Wei from Beijing never gives up living strong. He managed to do everything with his feet and started to learn to play piano at age 19. His dream is to become a musician. He is now 22 and just won the China's Got Talent Show on Oct. 10, 2010. In the final, he played piano and sang the song "You Are Beautiful", perhaps his vocal is not the best render of this song, but the power and inspiration of his zest for life won him the final. Bravo! Liu Wei's motto is,"I have two options - I can die as fast as possible, or I can live a brilliant life. And I chose the latter." Congrats to Liu Wei!
