Web: A couple of funny sites

I usually discourage "chain e-mail" from my friends and relatives. They usually take on the form of old jokes, urban legends, actual chain mail that says I'll have bad luck if I don't forward the message to several other people, or even stale parodies of urban legends about the ill fates of people who do not forward chain mail. I'd almost like to think I've seen it all by now. But every so often a new joke (to me anyway) actually does appear. Plus it's nice when the e-mail does not have some huge dubious attachment and only contains a safe URL to some web site that is not infested with ad-filled pop ups (particularly with content considered NSFW).

Not sure how long this has been floating around the Internet, but this is a pretty interesting test for people who write software or hang around people who do.
Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer

If you score pretty low, you may have to start wondering of over-exposure to programmers is leaving you with a false sense of security.

Here's a (homemade?) video of a woman and a car.

Speaking of videos. If you know how to search the Internet, there are a couple of entertaining rap videos from recent Saturday Night Live episodes popping in and out of existence online. One features Natalie Portman (maybe channelling the grown up version of the character she played in The Professional).
