Denmark: The Happiest Place in The World

No, really. A study confirms it. From CNN:

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- If you're looking for happiness, move to Denmark.

It's the happiest country in the world while Burundi in Africa is the most unhappy, according to a new report by a British scientist released on Friday.

Adrian White, an analytical social psychologist at the University of Leicester in central England, based his study on data from 178 countries and 100 global studies from the likes of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

"We're looking much more at whether you are satisfied with your life in general," White told Reuters. "Whether you are satisfied with your situation and environment."

The main factors that affected happiness were health provision, wealth and education, according to White who said his research had produced the "first world map of happiness."

Following behind Denmark came Switzerland, Austria, Iceland and the Bahamas.

At the bottom came the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe and Burundi. The United States came in at 23rd, Britain was in 41st place, Germany 35th and France 62nd.

Clearly I need to start visiting Denmark a whole lot more!

Gradius on Heroin

I have no idea what game this is from, but this video (and music) totally rocks:

Gradius Full Speed Music Video

I also found a video that someone did to the "Gradius Full Speed" song:

There's some serious video editing there, which includes overlaying multiple games at the same time and overlaying gameplay onto cinemas from the game. It actually reminds me of being drunk.

Full Metal Tail

"Today... is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how The Furry Fandom will conquer Traditional Family Values with the aid of God and a few furries! God has a hard-on for furries because we yiff everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much yiffing, we keep heaven packed with fresh trolls! God was here before The Furries! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your tail belongs to the Furries! Do you ladies understand?"
