Blacksmith Makes a Detailed Replica of Thor’s Hammer

I’m not huge Thor fan (for an immortal god, he’s kinda whiny), but I am a fan of watching people who are really good at what they do, do that thing they do:

[NOTE: At the end when they’re test-driving Mjölnir, one of the hammer-swingers is wearing a NSFW t-shirt. Which you may not even notice, because you’ll be too busy watching something get smashed with a 20-pound hammer in slow motion, which is totally awesome.]

King of the World!

One White House worker told National Journal that Obamacare was the President’s “Titanic moment”.

Yeah, but at least people were allowed to leave the Titanic.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:


Kris, who, apparently, was the only other person besides me to sit through all 8 hours of “The Stand”.


PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.

#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.

MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.

IMAGE SOURCES: Lots of great Obama pics to be found at the White House Flickr page.

Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

Seriously, These NSA Guys Know EVERYTHING

An Italian newspaper claims the National Security Agency spied on the future Pope Francis before and during the Vatican conclave at which he was chosen to succeed Benedict XVI.

The lesson here? Never go in against an NSA agent in a Pope Pool.
