Friday Funday brings you some fun and interesting links from my travels around the internet.

Turbocharged Penguins [del.icio.us]
They're penguins. They're turbocharged. What more do you need to know? This one's for you, Emily.

Miracles You'll See In The Next Fifty Years [del.icio.us]
Back in Friday Funday CXV, I posted a song called 1999, which expounded some of the changes we would see in science, technology, and society by the year 1999. This Popular Mechanics article from 1950 does a pretty lousy job of predicting the future, but it sure is good for a laugh. Did people actually believe this stuff?

Kings of MySpace [del.icio.us]
I hate MySpace and I'm not too keen on crappy amateur video productions (especially bad music videos for crappy, home-brewed rap songs), but this one made me laugh.

The Year 2038 Bug [del.icio.us]
For fuck's sake. You'd think we would have learned from the Y2K bug! I was actually wondering about this back when I first started learning PHP.

How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot in Any Programming Language [del.icio.us]
Speaking of programming languages, this made me laugh.
