Karate is awesome.
I have nothing to add – the image says it all.

Car Bites Dog
That's one lucky dog.
From Cellar - Image of the Day:
The motorist, Marco Menozzi, didn’t even stop when he mowed down the one-year-old pooch while doing 70mph on a side road in Cozze, southern Italy.
But he hit the dog so hard he was embedded in the grill under the bonnet of the Peugeot 207 and managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped.
Vets have treated the stray for a broken leg and bruising and he’s now in a police pound looking for new owner.
“He’s a very lucky boy. He was saved because he was hit so hard. Any softer and he would have bounced off the car and been crushed under the wheels,” said a police spokesman.

When is a Gun Not a Gun?
This is not a gun, apparently.
According to federal a federal code, the “gun” pictured above is not a gun, and as such was deemed as inadmissible for evidence in a recent court case.
From US Code: Title 18,921. Definitions:
(16) The term “antique firearm” means—

Dragon Papercraft Optical Illusion
This is a pretty amazing piece of papercraft. The optical illusion it produces is fairly amazing (as you can see from the video above).
Nice find, Bernard!

When Applying Life-Saving Measures…
… the tempo at which you apply the chest compressions matches the tempo of two songs (according to my wife who just had a practical exam today for nursing):
- Another One Bites the Dust by Queen
- Staying Alive by The Bee-Gees
I’d prefer singing the latter in my head, but you know what?… I’ll always remember the former now.

Lifelike Animation by Image Metrics
I have to admit this is freakily realistic. It took a second viewing with heavy scrutiny for me to nit-pick the animation artifacts.
How long before traditional actors are replaced with talented voice actors?

Bacon in a Can
Any brave volunteers out there that want to give this stuff a shot and report back to us (from the hospital)?
It’s worth checking out Gizmodo’s 10 Gadgets For Guys Who Hate To Cook — where I found the above.

San Diego Comic Con 2008
This is my first foray into the San Diego Comic Con. I really didn’t know what to expect except for the size of the convention itself. Even having that in mind, I was still floored by the immensity of the attendance. People from all over the world, from all walks of life came here to share in their passion for the “contemporary creative arts.”
I was so overwhelmed by everything I didn’t take as many photos as I thought I would. Also, it got so packed I couldn’t even stop to take a photo. Most of these photos were taken “in passing” and as such, came out fairly blurry.
Oh well, I’ll know what to expect next year. 
I took the time to annotate most of the photos, so enjoy!
