A Productive Waste of Time
This one's for those with that insatiable thirst for knowledge. For the heroes who are sick of drowning in a sea of information and tidbits and want some thick, dense, and viscous, honest-to-god knowledge!
Academic Earth.
A user-friendly website that hosts video of 60 full academic courses and and a few one-off lectures from Yale, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Princeton. That's over 1300 hrs of mind climbing. The subjects range from "Death" to "The American Novel Since 1945" to "The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in an American Century".
Here's a lecture entitled "Somebody (Everybody?) Goofed: Origins of the Financial Mess" from Princeton's Alan S. Blinder.
Fora.TV and BigThink are also sites to look into if you've got some time on your hands.

Nothing is as it seemed...
Hopefully you are secure enough in your adulthood that you'll allow me to drop a bomb on your childhood.
Remember Super Mario Bros 2 for NES? Well then, surely you'll fondly remember throwing turnips at snakes jumping out of ancient urns. On the flip side, you'll probably remember how freaking weird that was... turnips?! The game definitely stretched plumber tropes way beyond your puny 1988 imagination.
Here's why... Mario Bros 2 is really Doki Doki Panic! Check it out:

Trailer Park: Where the Wild Things Are
Just in case you haven't watched this yet, watch it. [high quality or YouTube].
It's nice to have a movie on the horizon to get excited about. October 16 2009 - circle your calendars.
Apparently it's been in different stages of filming since 2006 and was originally supposed to come out in May 2008. Leading up to that Maurice Sendak personally approached Spike Jonze to direct before sometime before 2000.
Another interesting rumor is that co-screenwriter Dave Eggers is also writing a novel[ization] that will accompany the release of the film.
