Is it weird that, when adjusting the volume on the sound system in my car, I only set it to an even number OR a factor of five? 35? No problem. 28, that’ll work. 40, rock on!

But 27? No way. 33? Ri-i-ight. 19? Are you kidding? 19 IS AN ODD NUMBER.

I have issues, don’t I?

Firstly, let me just say I am not interested in hearing your comments like, “Bear’s fake!” or “Les Stroud for president!” You can keep that hogwash to yourself thankyouverymuch.

The new season of Man vs. Wild starts this November, and this season, each episode is two hours long rather than one hour long which is vewy, vewy exciting. Here’s a bit of what Bear had to say in regards to their recent filming in Panama:

I have just got home from the Panama jungles - and it is no wonder the US sent so many of their SEALS and Astronauts to train there in jungle survival - it is definitely one of the toughest places I have been. I counted over 104 mosquito bites when I had a shower at the end!
The mangrove swamps were pretty hellish and I managed to get bitten by a snake for the first time which hurt! But apart from that I had a very special time with the Embera Tribe hunting together, and then following the old Gold trails of the Camino Real. We also filmed quite a bit of behind the scenes with the crew and safety team for Discovery Channel, to accompany the new Season that airs in early November.

We included as well a whole part of the show on survival ‘camouflage and concealment’, near the infamous Darien Gap on the Colombian border, which is one of the kidnapping hot spots of the world. I hope you will enjoy this show, it was gritty, dirty, humid and at times tasted foul!

I just looked up how to split data in a column in Excel to be sure I got my Yahoo NFL league picks in the right order.

Pitiful, huh?

(It’s Text to Columns, by the way. Go to the Data menu, then Text to Columns, then choose your delimiter. In my case it was a left parenthese that was before each team’s percentage chance of winning.)

So watch the first video, immediately below, to get the jist of what’s going on. This is the techno viking. He drinks water and dances (and is also very likely all jacked up on E).

Before you proceed, understand this: the first video shows a not so savory word at the end of it. In actuality, though, you can stop this video with about a minute left and you won’t miss anything. You’ve been warned.

The thing is, while the Norse beats pumping through the air are obviously enough to send him into a dancing rage, they’re just not the best beats. The best beat is none other than Michael Jackson’s Beat It.

Watch the video again, but this time, with Beat It as the soundtrack.

Undeniable, isn’t it?

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

Tim Nobel and Sue Webster take piles of trash and make art into them… but sometimes the art isn’t apparent until you see it in a different light.
