"Tyler, we call him 'Psycho T' because he's crazy in his mind." -Byron Sanders

Every bad day calls for some funny stuff to cheer you up.

1. Ali G's TNT commercials. "Ain't no one gonna watch that."
2. Crazy ass Christmas lights rocking out in tune with some Trogdoriffic guitar solos.
3. PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME. WHERE YOU AT?
4. Thanksgiving is time for football. Even this lil guy thinks so.
5. One for the boys, courtesy of Napster UK. They won't air commercials like this here.

ALSO: As a followup to the discussions of (baby) belugas this week, CNN ran an article yesterday detailing the massive aquariuam that just opened in ATL. They even have WHALE SHARKS. Which is ridiculous. Of course that means I'm going to have to go.

Niko and Gasper, two male Beluga whales, left poor living conditions -- an exhibit under a rollercoaster at a Mexico City amusement park -- for Atlanta.

"The conditions there were not as good as we would want them to be but the people from Mexico were doing the best they could," said Dr. Tonya Clauss, the aquarium's assistant manager of veterinary services.

The two are being treated for some minor skin problems that probably resulted from the less-than-ideal water conditions in Mexico, but their overall health is very good, Clauss said.

"They started eating the first day and have been doing great," she said.

Their new tank will provide them with more room and additional tankmates -- three female belugas from New York, affectionately called by the vet staff "the New York ladies."

Clauss says all five are getting along well.

And if the Mexican boys and the New York ladies get a little too friendly?

"We wouldn't be upset at all if that happened," Clauss said with a smile.

"We have an ultrasound machine, similar to what you would find in human medicine. It would help us out in detecting a little baby beluga."

:D

Also, last bit of pic goodness: Tyler Hansbrough. They don't call him Psycho T for nothing. Go Heels!~
