Mel's Movie makes a few bucks.
Hollywood studios were proven wrong when they ALL passed on Mel's Gibson's Passion Movie which this weekend made 76.2 million dollars and grossed 107 million total in the first five days. The movie is great (granted im a hardcore evangelical and plannning on being a pastor someday.) The odd thing is many churches are buying entire showings of this thing within the next couple of weeks and will continue to push its total even higher. How high will it go? nobody knows.

Say Cheese
According to a new law -- yes they actually passed a LAW -- students in Wisconsin high schools are now allowed to pick their own yearbook pictures. Sure, it's important, but I don't think that this sort of thing requires legal intervention.

Gigli was the worst movie of the year.. now thats a surprize*
well the Oscars are still a few hours away but, the Razzies are here now. These awards honor the years worst in films. The greastest award they gave it this year was for the catagory, "how the mighty have fallen." and was won by Stallone who hasnt been in a good movie since Rambo ended.
sad thing though is that if they gave out "oscars" for websites. we couldn't even win in the "most sucessful website from beloit" catagory.

Look ma! No hands!
This is a strange thing. In some ways, inspiring. In other ways... something else.

Map Test
This is entertaining. Unfortunately, it's a no-win situation. If you can't get it, you are not as smart as a third grader. If you do get it, then congratulations...you are smarter than a third grader. So click here, swallow your pride, and put your geography skills to the test.

As if he isn't losing enough money with the Mavericks
Mark Cuban famed internet tycoon and owner of the Dallas Mavericks has decided to star in a new reality show for ABC. The premise of the show? if Cuban likes you, you win a million dollars. I'm surprized that such a unique and interesting idea isn't going to be on FOX.*
submissions for applicatoins will be starting soon!

Man is bludgened with his own leg
"Police in Fredericksburg have charged Rodney Prophitt, 27, with pulling off his neighbor's prosthetic limb and then striking him with it"
at least things like this don't happen in wisconsin.

You wanna get high?
Police in Arizona pulled over a garbage truck that was driving erratically. Maybe it was because the drug dogs could smell it from 10 miles away, maybe its because the drivers were giggling uncontrollably, but police investigated a little and turned up over 2 tons of pot in the trash recepticle area. My only question is who was stupid enough to throw away all of that pot?

Sketchiness. But I'm still curious...
I think the title of this page fits perfectly: Games That Make You Feel Funny. "Funny" as in a "funny down there" feeling. On a sidenote, Bryant does own a copy DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Strange thing is, he's pretty good at it. I make sure to wash my hands after using any of his controllers.

Old School Memories
for some reason i had a flash back to my days being a kid and going to the zoo. and the greatest thing about the zoo was the mold-a-rama! so it got me thinking about all the great molds and even the possibility of buying my own machine. enjoy the nostalgia....

Third Rock from the Sun
Scientists saw an asteroid heading towards earth. Based off of four pictures, some of them thought that an asteroid would hit earth within 36 hours. Cue the tense movie music, close shots of sweaty astronomers surrounding computer simulations of crashing down on farmers in Beloit, Wisconsin. Scientists call their families and tell them to go to Colorado. Then they ask themselves, "Do we contact the President?" Do we try and block this thing?Enter the amateur astronomer. He takes a picture of the sky. The scientists review it. Tension as the final calculations are made. They call off the threat. Laughs all around. Earth is safe once again, or is it?

I Love Wisconsin
Is it just me, or have there been about a million stories about Wisconsin in the news these past few weeks? The funny thing is, none of this news is normal. There's always something crazy happening in 'Sconsin, so I've taken it upon myself to start its very own category. If anyone is going to do it, it should probably be me. If any of the other guys here did it, it would be like nominating yourself for prom king.
To start of the Wisconsin fun, I came across this story today. Looks like this law is really working, Ms. Attorney General.

Smells Like Roses
I had the unfortunate experience of having to use a bathroom that smelled like a giant fart. While I was sitting there breathing through my mouth, I wondered, why do farts smell? Google told me: So blind people can enjoy them. But then why do we not mind the way our own smell? I tried finding an answer online, but apparently google doesn't know. Anyone have a good answer for this?

It's just an iPod
Apparently the internet has not yet appeared in Japan, because 50% of the population of Tokyo waited in line to go the newly opened Apple Store. The line went on for blocks crossing streets and bending around. Sure having an iPod is great, or maybe they love standing around in the cold and wet. But someone should have told them about www.apple.com.

Biggest Pay Per View Event Ever
Although I hate all the polls in an election year, I found this poll very interesting. 2/3's of Americans would support executions being aired on TV. It looks like more people would want to see bin Laden executed than Saddam. Looks like Saddam just can't win. If Fox gets a hold of these numbers, we know they'll put this on T.V. I can't believe people would actually watch someone executed on T.V. Whats wrong with you people?

This might top the bowling ball story
"Police had accused [Jeremy Niederbrach]of driving through several people's yards, at least two chain-link fences, a tree and a Sonic Drive-In sign."
then awaiting trial he went outside and smoked some pot right outside the courthouse. For once a story like this didn't happen in wisconsin....

Wisconsin is killing itself...
This story takes place in Milton, Wisconsin about 20 minutes from my hometown. I'll summarize this article where a Wisconsin man gets his eye shot out by advising readers on what not to do:
1. Don't sell guns to ignorant people.
2. Nobody really needs to own a bowling ball.
3. If you play in a junkyard you'll poke your eye out.
4. Don't shoot at random things while you're drunk.
5. Don't shoot at hard things that ricochet bullets, see rule 2.
6. If someone is shooting at hard things that ricochet bullets, don't stand next to them.

Rhode Island is Killing me...
In all the gas stations I have been to in Rhode Island, there is never the little latch which let's you let the pump flow on its own. Obviously its safe because it seems like the 49 other states in the union use it with no problem. Having no latch means that you have to stand there holding the lever the entire time. This means you'll freeze your fingers off when it's cold and you never get to wash your windshield while the car is filling. That's why I came up with the genius idea to stick my wallet under the handle. I've been doing it for 2 years now and the pump always shuts off on its own, but now it looks like I better stop doing it or I might explode. Apparently they've thought about the issue, but for some reason the thought of actually attaching these devices scares Rhode Island. At least I don't live in New Jersey, where they don't allow civilians to attempt this complex task of filling their own gas.

Arnold 2008
I just saw this trailer for Comedian, I know its not a new movie, but I just saw the trailer and it's inspired this post: In a world, where brute strength wins politics. In a time, when the President lays down the law with an iron fist. One man, born in Austria, wins the title of Mr. Universe, Conquers Hollywood, owns California, then charges Washington. Arnold 2008. Coming soon...

William Hung revisted
We posted earlier about William Hung, American Idol reject. Getting rejected from American Idol may be the best thing thats happened to him, he's been parodied on SNL, been on Ellen, been on the Today show, and his fan sites receive tens of thousands of visitors. Why are all the not normal and awkward kids getting famous?

Shake it... Shake It...
Hey ya, For those of you that still own polaroid cameras and take photo advice from Outkast, Polaroid advises you not to "(Shake it Suga') shake it like a Poloroid Picture". If you want proper photos, place your photo on a flat level surface and go get a real camera.

An Acre of Green Cheese only $29.99
i found this site www.lunarlandowner.com which allows you to buy one moon acre for $29.99. Which got me thinking why doesnt bryantchoung.com claim Mars and start selling acres for 19.99 and undercut the competition. with all the Mars Hype these days might not be a bad idea...

Kids these days...
This one's from the hometown, The Beloit Daily News is reporting that a woman in Beloit was arrested after shooting at her own son. Apparently he liked to do drugs at his mom's house and didn't want to leave. After he didn't leave, she did what any loving parent would do, she shot at him.

Happy Valentines Day
Happy Valentines day readers. As a couple gifts to you I have added polls to the left side of the site and added a lovely pink background. This poll was created by David Stern, and will be updated when we feel like it. I know. I'm too good to you. As another reminder,
the auction for the interview and the brycon ends in 1 day and 22 hours. It's still a bargain for about 6 dollars.
