Sometimes I post things in the Lighthearted Randomness thread, but I don't necessarily feel like they belong there because they are too awesome. So you know what, let's have a thread for awesome things. (Well, a second thread, Web's picture of the day is full of awesomeness.)
In 1979, The B-52s song Rock Lobster became the bands first to hit the Billboard Top 100. At the time, former Beatle John Lennon had been away from music for about three years, but after hearing Rock Lobster, he was inspired top start writing music again. Lennon said the song moved him because it sounds just like Yokos music. Its unclear whether or not that was a compliment.
Mila Kuniswill be serving her country this November, but instead of camouflage fatigues, she'll be dressed up in a ball gown.
Sgt. Scott Moore, of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, posted a video to YouTube last week asking the "Friends with Benefits" star to accompany him to the Marine Corps. Ball on November 18th in Greenville, North Carolina. It may have seemed a longshot at first, but thanks to the power of the internet, he now has a very famous date.
Fox News asked Kunis, who was with co-starJustin Timberlakeat the time, if she had seen the video, and whether she'd attend the ball.
Timberlake, ever the ladies man, helped make it happen.
"Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? You need to do it for your country,"he told her. And even though Timberlake said he wouldn't come along, Kunis confirmed that she'd be attending.
"I'll do it,"she said, setting up what will most definitely be the flashiest couple in North Carolina this November.

Jaylan Amor is only two years old, but is already surfing the waves outside of Brisbane, Australia, and has secured multiple endorsements from surf shops. To catch a wave, his dad paddles him out to sea, then the two year old hops and rides the waves back into shore. Mr Amor isnt worried if Jaylan falls, as the tike just swims back to his board and waits for daddy to help him back up.

Have you seen the crayon paintings that are popular right now? Basically, you put a box of crayons all laid out at the top of a sheet of paper, then use some form of heat (like a hairdryer) to melt them and drip down the paper.

This is the coolest one I've seen.
I had not heard of it. But that does look cool.

I wish I had a fence just so I could do this to it:
Those are just marbles, stuck into the fence. It's so pretty!
That looks really cool!

Its a tacomergency! Flooded roads. Wildfires. Riots. But no worries, kids! The Tacocopter will get through and deliver essential nutrients to you:
Indeed, the concept behind Tacocopter is very simple, and very American: You order tacos on your smartphone and also beam in your GPS location information. Your order and your location are transmitted to an unmanned drone helicopter (grounded, near the kitchen where the tacos are made), and the tacocopter is then sent out with your food to find you and deliver your tacos to wherever youre standing.
You pay online, so the tacos are simply dropped off at your feet by the drone helicopter, which then flies back to the restaurant to pick up its next order.
So far, the Tacocopter is available only to selected users in San Francisco. But after investors flood in, the business will surely expand.
