Whiz of the Web: Tuesday Torpedoes

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

• List time: The Top 10 Geekiest Yarn Creations on the Web. We've only seen one of these before, as far as we can remember, and they're all pretty clever. (Via)
• Penny Arcade continues to be funny. We are pleased.
• We don't know if it's "Pulitzer-caliber" like it claims (actually, we're hoping that's a joke), but this site, entitled Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality, which pairs a promotional/advertising photo of a fast food meal with another photo of that same meal actually purchased from the restaurant is pretty interesting. We're guessing it's supposed to be pointing out how false advertising is and how gross-looking actual fast food turns out to be. But in reality, it just makes us want a cheeseburger really bad.

• Google Maps has a feature called Street View now that includes real close-up photos of places at the street level. Naturally, some of the photos end up a bit messed up, or capturing odd items and moments. But how to find the fun stuff without having to scour Google's entire map of the world? Just check out Streetviewr, where people with a lot of time on their hands have already found all the cool stuff and posted the links for your enjoyment! (Via)
• Another list! This time it's the Top 7 Press Launches for Games. As in, the Top 7 most... extreme ones. Uh... helllooooo, nurse! (Via)
• The new, smaller, less bloated E3 is almost here, and Game|Life has helpfully collected for us all the rumors about what Nintendo is going to announce at the event. They include a Wii hard drive, Mario Kart for Wii, and blue and pink Wii remotes.
• Microsoft is supposedly going to make a history-making, Pac-Man-related announcement today some time between 12:30PM and 1:30PM. So keep your ears open for that. Although, we have a hard time believing it'll be all that exciting. Pac-Man is cool and all, but... his time has kind of passed, you know?
• Toren Atkinson (of The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, of course) shares with us a list of his favorite comedians, complete with video clips, as well his secret dream of being a stand-up comedian himself. And as it turns out, he has pretty good taste in comedy! But beware the NSFW language.
• Tee hee. This new entry in the Marvel/DC video series is long, but very funny. (Via)
