LGR unboxes an almost 30-year-old IBM computer.

Talk about nostalgia. Incidentally, does anyone know why the thing couldn't play Commander Keen 1, but it could play CD-Man?

Irish People try Root Beer for the first time.

Apparently I haven't shilled for the Irish People Try playlist over at Facts yet. It's funny to watch them eat food that we take for granted, but they have no first-hand knowledge of.

Spoilers, they didn't like the root beer. Now, who else doesn't like root beer? Someone that we all know?

Hmm.....

(I love root beer, especially if you put vanilla ice cream in it. It's cream soda that's vile.)

A cover of the Palace Theme from various Zelda games that makes it sound vaguely like a James Bond theme.

I'll take Improbable Pop Culture Mashups for $1000, Alex...

The band Five Year Mission does tribute songs for TOS episodes.

These aren't quite musical fivers, but rather sung summaries of each episode, along with commentary on performances, plot holes, etc.

YouTube channel with music videos.

Last month was the tenth anniversary of the Potter Puppet Pals short "The Mysterious Ticking Noise."

It feels less pointless when a Buzzfeed article marks the occasion.

First, there was "A Modern Major General"...

Then Tom Lehrer turned it into "The Elements Song"...

Then XKCD turned it into "Every Major's Terrible"...

And today I discovered the "Boy Scout Merit Badge Song."

Just in case you haven't gotten your daily reminder that the world is weird.

So today the Nostalgia Critic reviewed the 1974 version of Jack and the Beanstalk, but I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about the images on this page...

Yes, these two characters are from the same cartoon. A girl who looks like she walked out of an Ozamu Tezuka anime and a boy who looks like he walked out of a Dr. Seuss cartoon.

And that's your dose of weirdness for the day.
