Skydiving with a Peregrine Falcon
Jimmy Carr on Jonathan Ross 6th of Nov. 2009
"Say what you like about servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a f***ing good paralympic team in 2012."
[edit]
This article says he isn't so apologetic though.

He does not repeat the joke in Margate tonight, though some in the audience are goading him to do so. He makes do with noting the fact that no one watches the Paralympics anyway, and a few throwaway jokes about people without arms. Why not do the controversial joke? "I thought I'd leave it," he says. "Otherwise it looks like you haven't taken it [the furore] seriously. I didn't write the joke and think, 'That's an unacceptable joke, that's an unacceptable thing to say, but will I get away with it?' I thought it was a totally acceptable joke and a point to make, but now it's become something else. The other reason not to tell it now is that people have heard it."
Awesome big whirlpool (maelstrom)

Muslim girls collide with Teeuwen
He was a good friend of Theo van Gogh who was murdered for making the controversial film Submission about Islam. At the unveiling of a statue to remember van Gogh he sang a song in which he mentioned these women and that's how he got on the show. Here you can see the speech he made (subtitled)

Giant robots attack!
But I don't understand why the robots would first shoot the city up if they were gonna nuke it in the end anyway.

Urban myths about climate change
Since global warming is so controversial and hard to prove why even mention it? Air quality should be plenty of reason to lower emissions and this problem has plenty of non-controversial proof. Why even talk about global warming when it basically impossible to prove when there are plenty of other reasons to lower emissions.

Uhm CO2 does little to the quality of air. Air with a little added CO2 is not harmful in any way, unless it reaches ridiculously high levels. Air quality is mostly harmed by aerosols like soot and NOx. These are actually cleaned up effectively. Only problem is that some of these aerosols (SO2 in particular) acted like global cooling agents by making clouds more reflective. So cleaner air will actually increase global warming somewhat.
Pixar's Hidden Secrets - Easter eggs in their films
The Monster's Inc one was quite awesome though.
Self Healing Bio-Concrete
It would be cool if we could put self replicating bacteria in our gas tanks.
They would have to have something to feed on though
Urban myths about climate change
We need science to go into public journals. The high price for articles goes mostly to the publishers of the journals. While the submitting scientists get almost nothing for the paper, only a place in a big journal if he's lucky. And the peer review of the papers is also usually done for free. Therefor all science should be published in big open-source databases. It would give everyone access and also allow much better technological improvements, because even people with low budgets could work on these things if they were open.
Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age: Origins
I've played it for about 20 hours and I still don't know if I really like it. It's good, but the worlds of KotOR, Mass Effect, and especially Fallout 3, and Morrowind, and even Risen had much bigger draw on me.
Big downside of Oblivion was the level scaling and quite repetitive world. But this could be solved by installing the overhaul which removed leveling and made the game much more interesting.
The level scaling in Dragon Age can be pretty annoying when you have quite high level characters and suddenly a large group of wolves become a danger. Or a large group of thugs which you should be able to kill easily. Also making a good party is quite tricky. Because if I just want to using a quite important skill like lock picking, that means I have to have a 'weak' rogue in my team.

What if Earth had rings like Saturn?
NASA's UFO Footage [10:11]
And lets not forget cosmic rays impacting highly sensitive CCD equipment. Or unfocused and overexposed dust/ice particles in the camera or just outside the lens.
I must admit, some of them are pretty strange though.
