Here’re what I think are the best new-ish YTMNDs. They’re dumb, of course, but some are spectacular.
YTMND, for those who don’t know, is basically an animation with sound. They’re generally stupid, but some people find brilliance in the simplicity.

Newton, Cavendish, Linnaeus. Names we all know for being incredibly smart and making great discoveries. But did you know that they were also crazy?
It’s from /po/. Here’s the thread: Link.
This is some crazy stuff. A guy who doesn’t feel cold. A woman who can’t forget.
Check it out: Link.
First, the cute: the Googly Eye Blog. I was giggling, and all was well with the world.
This is yet another side project of Randall Munroe, of XKCD fame: The Limerick Database. Nerdy and terrific.
Nothing quite so exciting as a virus, but what’s more infectious than a yawn? Apparently, not only do humans yawn in response to a yawn, but so do other primates and dogs!
It made me giggle a bit.
This person went to see Batman Begins for the first time in costume. The problem was that it was a Tuesday afternoon screening. Hilarity ensued.

Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening
There once was a horse-riding chap
Who took a trip in a cold snap
He stopped in the snow
But he soon had to go:
He was miles away from a nap.
The Raven
There once was a girl named Lenore
And a bird and a bust and a door
And a guy with depression
And a whole lot of questions
And the bird always says “Nevermore.”
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
There was an old father of Dylan
Who was seriously, mortally illin’
“I want,” Dylan said
“You to bitch till you’re dead.
“I’ll be cheesed if you kick it while chillin’.”
I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud
There once was a poet named Will
Who tramped his way over a hill
And was speechless for hours
Over some stupid flowers
This was years before TV, but still.
Footprints in the Sand
There was a man who, at low tide
Would walk with the Lord by his side
Jesus said “Now look back;
You’ll see one set of tracks.
That’s when you got a piggy-back ride.”
