Worms Hilarity

When I was in college, I loved playing Worms: Armageddon. The concept is very simple: you have a team of worms with an amusing array of weapons and you attempt to kill off the members of the other teams you play against. Outside of the basic reducing of health, worms can be killed by knocking them off the playing field or dropped into water (since they have no arms, they do not swim). The many mistakes, bad shots, or impressive shots always led to amusing comments and large volumes of course language.

A few weeks ago I discovered that a gaming group that posts Youtube game walk-through videos, put together a bunch of highlight videos of their late night Worms: Reloaded gaming sessions. It brought back many amusing memories and the comments they made are equally hilarious.

Here is a "best of the best" compliation they made and one of the funniest of the general highlight vidoes, but there are 49 other highlight videos that offer varying levels of amusement:

Saturn Hurricane

The Cassini spacecraft sent back some incredible pictures yesterday of a stationary hurricane up at the north pole of Saturn. The false color image of the storm is blood red and has been nicknamed The Rose.

The eye of this storm is about 1,250 miles in diameter or roughly the distance from Cleveland to Denver. The clouds on the outer bands of the storm are traveling at a speed of about 330 mph. Someone who saw it said that it reminded them of a stargate or some other trans-dimensional portal like you would see in some sci-fi movie. I just thought that it looked really cool.
