Commitment.

Commitment

1 2 3 4.

There's something very feel good hit of the summer about this, especially on a day like today. So:

Smells like teen spirit.

Everyone should appreciate a good high school prank, and Hilliard Davidson High School (Ohio) senior Kyle Garchar came up with one. Garchar organized the above placard prank, forcing the rival school's fans to spell out "WE SUCK"...for which he was suspended.

Besides the three days of in-school suspension that Garchar received for the prank, he also has been banned from participating in any school activities for a semester. For Garchar, that's the rest of his high-school career. He's finishing school early and moving to California, where he plans to attend college for engineering. His girlfriend, Danielle Jewell, and their friend Jen Trimmer helped with the prank and got the same punishment.

Sure, it's been done before; but does it ever get old? "If you're going to do a senior prank, you want it to be remembered," Garchar said. (—Columbus Dispatch, via Deadspin)

1.21 jiggawatts!

Lightingplane

This says it all: lightning bolt hitting plane taking off in Osaka, Japan. Now if someone can only explain how 100 trillion (million million) watts can hit a plane and nothing happens to the electronics inside, while my cell phone or other electronic device can supposedly wreak havoc emitting just a few microwaves, I'd be much obliged.

How the kitten ended up being glued to the refrigerator door.

Thistothat

You've always wanted something like this...find the appropriate adhesive to glue anything to anything else at This to That. From plastic and paper to ceramic and vinyl, This to That knows exactly what glue will best stick this to that. Imagine the possibilities! (—via Lifehacker)

What a fool believes.

The problem, of course, is that late at night you discover the fact that if you listen carefully you'll hear your heart howling at the moon. You are sitting out on some upper story balcony staring at the lights and wondering if somewhere, somehow, the proverbial love of your life—the one who will make this one, the one you lost, history—is behind one of those windows, thinking of a particular someone who will turn out to be you. What you want is an immediate release from the past into the future, with as little time as possible spent in the painful, what have I done and how could I have lost her present. Not the healthiest or most productive thing to think at all.

Not that it matters; not that you care.

Your face, our balls.

Faceball

Faceball, the newest office sports craze, is basically a one-on-one game in which you and an opponent sit 10 feet apart and take turns hitting each other in the face with beachballs.

Pride.

Lions—cruel, beautiful, fascinating animals. Want more? The amazing documentary Walking with Lions is now on Google video. It's about film makers who staked out a watering hole and filmed on foot. Well worth the 54 minutes it takes to view it (it takes a lot of guts to stand your ground when you have a lion charging you full on).
