Millionaire Memorabilia is an online retailer that sells a massive range of collectible memorabilia, ranging from hand-signed and unsigned, movie, sports, music and historic collectibles.

One of the things I loved about visiting the Hard Rock Cafe was browsing through the huge amount of music memorabilia. As a music freak, it was heaven. That's what I like about the Millionaire Memorabilia website. There is a lot of music related gear up for grabs... if you can afford the price tag that is!

memorabiliaAs of writing this, they currently stock a guitar mounted and framed, hand signed by Aerosmith. Granted, the guitar isn't a proper Fender Strat, and it was probably never taken onstage by Joe Perry, but it'd still be a pretty cool addition to the pool room... if you have $3,995 lying around that is.

For sports nuts, the Millionaire Memorabilia website also has some nice looking framed and mounted sports memorabilia. I noticed quite a bit of material relating to Miami Heat basketballer Dwayne Wade. Some nice photos of him signed, throwing it down Michael Jordan style. The wide range of Miami Heat merchandise makes me think that the company might well be based in the Miami area (not that I'm that knowledgeable when it comes to US geography).

Anycase, if you're into collectible memorabilia of any kind, check out their website, it's an old school sort of design and layout, but some of the products offered are quite cool.

Do you like equestrian? Does it make any sense to you? I have to say, I find equestrian (or dressage) to be a truly confusing sport. The horse seems to do all the hard work, yet the rider gets the medal and glory. Every time I hear equestrian, my mind immediately wanders off to that episode of the Goodies where Tim Brooke Taylor became obsessed with fox hunting and ran around in those pompous looking horse riding pants? Ahhh... so many memories. Let's be honest, 'style' and 'horse riding apparel' are not two terms that go hand in hand.

For this post I thought I'd dig through YouTube to see if there was any funny horse riding/equestrian videos. Well, there weren't many that made me laugh.

This one got close though...

But this little guy popped up when I just typed "horse" into the YouTube search field. It's the Lil' Superstar remix... well at least 'horse' appears in the lyrics!

"Botox for headaches"? Now I've heard freakin everything. Until I saw this I didn't even know there was a place called the New York Headache Center, let alone that plugging yourself full of Botox could help relieve headaches. I guess one of the things I find a little concerning about the whole thing is this quote from their website:

When Botox goes wrong "It is not clear how Botox relieves migraine headaches."

Now if you're not sure about why something works, I'm not sure that it is something you necessarily want to be playing around with, particularly when it comes to your body.

Let's not forget, Botox can go wrong? Take this exhibit as an example.

Next time your thinking about plugging your face full of Botox, maybe you should recall the image to your right here, and ask yourself, is it really a good idea?

When I first saw this opportunity for RC airplanes, I assumed they were just expensive kids toys. That's when I got onto YouTube to have a look for some remote control plane footage. Naturally I added "crash" to the end of the search term, in the hope of seeing something spectacular.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of footage available in the way of spectacular crashes.  There was this lame clip of a guy standing in the wrong place...

There was this also kind of lame video of an RC plane exploding (although stop it at 0.17 and you can see that something was fired at it mid flight - conspiracy perhaps??)...

But then there was this video of some nut jobs flying a remote control plane through a tunnel in Stockholm. The plane was 2 meters wide, and the tunnel 3.9km long. Interesting statistics, but as far as 6min long videos go, this one is also kind of lame.

Anyone know of remote control plane videos on YouTube that aren't lame?

Rebuild.org provide a range of information relating to Mortgage Loans, Refinance and debt consolidation loans. A debt consolidation loan is an interesting beast, as it basically means that you replace a whole number of loans (eg. home loan, car loan, student loan etc) with one single loan. It's kind of like rolling all of your debt into one gigantic package. » Read the rest of the entry..

Hmmm, simple assignment, fifty words on where in my house I would put some stainless steel cabinets. Well if I were to answer this honestly, I don't think I have the room in my house for any more furniture, let alone some big old stainless steel cabinets. With the 'graphic novel' addiction continuing, I could use some more storage, but if I were to get any cabinets, I'd probably have to lose my bed. It's a trade off really.

Here's a picture of a dancing monkey.
