Strange little hat

It took a while to spot it, but Jordan Carver is wearing a funny hat. See if you can beat my time: 14'54".

Also: I breasts! Feel the boobies, save the boobies! For National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and great justice!

It's Japanese for "special blur"

From Fabio of Abduzeedo, a bokeh wallpaper tutorial (with a soundtrack of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" if that interests you); non-video version that some might be more comfortable following along with is here.

Behold ye, the object of Brett Far-vruh's desperate sexting and peen-pix, Jenn Sterger.

And as we roll into Friday, it's still October, so it's still National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I breasts!

Reason #4080 why GT5 must hurry

This car is a virtual dream. But it's pedigree is very real.

The XI Prototype is designed by Adrian Newey, one of the giants of Formula 1. Now at Red Bull Racing, Newey previously designed for Williams and McLaren.

When designing the XI Prototype, Gran Turismo 5 creator Kazunori Yamauchi encouraged Newey to create a virtual racer that could take motorsports to the edge.

"Every race conforms to some sort of regulation, and every racing car is built to fit within those various regulations," Yamauchi tells RedBull.com. "However the X1 is something new, created from a 'what-if' dream. We want to inspire racing fans and the industry alike by exploring the realm of possibilities for the future of motorsports."

According to Newey, that dream can only be explored in Gran Turismo 5 and on the PS3. "We all have a dream about pushing the boundaries," the famed F1 designer added, "where the performance of the car and the experience of the driver take precedence over the rules."

The XI Prototype is the embodiment of that. But how does it drive? Racer Sebastian Vettel drove the virtual car, which boasts a top speed of 249mph, around Japan's Suzuka Circuit in GT5. In his first lap, Vettel set a world record. Says the German F1 driver, "Adrian's dream car handled brilliantly."

It'll take more than a fork to eat all that. Somebody get me a spoon, though, and I'd eat that full of ice cream. What do you mean, "Can't nobody eat that much ice cream"? I, sir, would be Thee First!

P.S.: It's still October, so it's still National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Ladies, feel your boobies, detect early! Save the breasts!

What would Molotov Cocktease look like in real life?

CGHUB actually wanted to know what the Venture Bros. would look like in real life. Of course, I was at least slightly more interested in this tactical espionage assassin by CortesNYC/Christian Cortes.

Zach Galifianakis is mad at The Hangover 2?
…But a movie you’re acting in, you don’t have a lot of control — you just show up and vomit your lines out. I’m not the boss. I’m in a deep protest right now with a movie I’m working on, up in arms about something. But I can’t get the guys to [listen] … I’m not making any leeway.
Welcome to the real world, you fucking hack!

You are NOT funny!

GO AWAY, NOBODY LIKES YOU!!!

Let's make a nuclear family

But first, we need nuclear babies, and I call dibs on hot redheaded nerd Felicia Day, shown at some function for Fallout: New Vegas.

The Only NFL Review You Need for Week 6

Because they were playing each other this week, the Niners won -- at LAST! -- and the Raiders lost. Week 6 came as a relief.

Chicken Dinner goes to the 49ers ground pounders -- Frank Gore and Anthony Dixon, plus Brian Westbrook, Moran Norris, and Isaac Sopoaga -- for contributing greatly to victory. Goat goes to the refs of the Cleveland/Pittsburgh for contributing to player injury by not penalizing James Harrison for brazen and OBVIOUS! helmet-to-helmet hits.

Who loves champagne?

Well, Coco does, obviously. And remember, no matter what a stripper tells you, there is no sex in the Champagne Room. NONE!

Random quatloos to anyone who can identify that brand.

Best. SNF. Intro. EVAR!

Isaac Sopoaga = AWESOME + WIN!

Medianoche, back again to save us from this dreary Monday. I've already been gifted with a Niners win, but if you haven't shopped for Christmas yet, I'll have one of these:
