WTF, World: Volume XIII

"WTF, World" Wednesdays finished runner-up in the Working Dog category in this year's Westminster Dog Show.

This week I'm going to switch things up, just for the hell of it. Instead of posting infuriating links, I'm going to go with more enjoyable ones. For those of you who need that Wednesday "something to bitch about" boost, normal service will resume next week.
  • One of the main reasons I began supporting Spurs back in the day was that Robbie Keane was one of their strikers. So you can appreciate the great man as much as I do, here's a video of him absolutely abusing Khalid Boulahrouz in a Spurs-Chelsea match from last season. When I saw this happen live during the game, I sounded like a mix between an excited Tommy Heinsohn and the guy who calls the And1 basketball games (OH BABY!).
  • River-bank filtration (RBF) is a method that has been used for years to purify water. Essentially, river water is drawn through sediment and soils, removing impurities and leaving safe, clean, fresh water. They're now employing a similar system to turn sewage into potable water in Southern California. I think this is awesome. Others may be grossed out, but, hey, they're not writing this blog.
  • As you are well aware, I love me some American Gladiators. Here's some gladiator-themed hilarity.
  • I VERY EXCITE! I VERY EXCITE! (No, not about Hayden Panettiere or the Spice Girls.)

I think we should break open a bottle of grape juice and wait for it to turn into wine in celebration of that movie.
