Harry Potter Meets Michael Jackson

Hogwarts Dancers - Google Video

This is funny, entertaining, and kinda weird all at the same time.

Seems a group of Harry Potter fans decided to put together a dance routine to a trio of 80's hits to honor the Hogwarts hero. Dancing to 'Holding Out For A Hero', 'Beat It', and 'Let's Hear It For The Boy', the group dances and prances with wands, brooms, and the ubiquitous black robes. All you favorites are represented - Malfoym, Hermione, Ron, and of course, Harry himself.

OK, Ready to Cry? And......Action!

Funny Video Crying BabyParents will particularly appreciate this video. The kid in the video has apparently developed an uncanny ability to cry on cue, but only when being watched. When the camera's off, he calms down, then seeks out the camera again to start back up. Priceless.

You know those deep, rumbling voices you hear in movie trailers? Or the signature voice for every Disney promo? What if you stuck them all into one short film?

That's what you get with the film linked above. It's hysterical!

Real-Life School of Rock (from BCBeat)

Remember the recent movie "School of Rock" with Jack Black? Well, VH1 thought it would be a cool idea to see if they could take it the next step. So they've enlisted the help of rocker Gene Simmons (the long-tongued dude from Kiss) to turn a classroom of kids into a rock band. Hilarity ensues.

Ken Jennings Gets His Own Column

Jennings Hits the Newsstands | BCBeat:

"Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings will write a column for Mental Floss magazine, a publication that claims to 'take the chore out of learning by presenting information in a way that's quick, simple, quirky and fun.'"

Looks like Ken Jennings has scored again. The column he will be writing for Mental Floss magazine will be like playing the Kevin Bacon game. Give Ken two disparate items, and he will try to link them in six steps or less.

There was a series of TV programs a couple of years back called "Connections" that did this same kind of thing on a bigger scale. This might be a fun gig for ol' Ken, and might prove amusing.
