What is 'Things Harrison Ford Has Been In', Alex?

[via Dangerous Minds]

Last Friday, we showed you "Tractor Band Symphony" and asked you to give us a better title.

We picked five of our favorites and now it's your chance to vote on a winner.

Vote below! Then check back this Thursday for the results and a new video.

This video is called "Tractor Band Symphony."  You don't have to watch the whole thing.  You'll get the gist of it after about 30 seconds.  Unless you dig the music.  Then crank the volume while you think of your new title…

Think you got a funnier name for this video? Let us know in the comments! Then check back on Tuesday at noon for the vote off!

Turns out people didn't love the choices in this week's Rename This Video Vote, but we had a vote anyway, and the clear cut winner was Anthony Jordick with his title, "I don't think Lady Gaga is attractive either."  It just goes to show you, if you compare Lady Gaga to a skunk, you'll come out a winner every time.  Congratulations, Anthony!

The chicken DEFINITELY came first.

We received over a thousand comments in our most recent Tosh.0 Caption Challenge!

After much deliberation, we picked the caption above from a comment left by Jeff Thompson.

They were going to ride the mechanical bull but they were too chicken.

Think you have a better caption for this image? Post your own joke about this picture in the comments. Then check back Friday at noon when we'll post our favorite!

Important Caption Challenge notice: You've probably seen you are now able to "like" comments on the Tosh.0 blog.  Additionally, every week we get complaints about the caption we pick as our favorite.  Well, now you can help us choose by liking the captions you think are the best.  We won't automatically go with the top comment, but we'll take your likes into consideration.  So quit whining.

Damn Commies! Living in their own world.

Come on. Has no one in China seen "Inglorious Basterds"?

This is Virginia's version of updating your Facebook status. Also, sad.

The Huffington Post reported that Jens Stoltenberg, the Prime Minister of Norway who has been stranded in New York City because of that crazy volcanic ash that has forced international flights to be canceled, has been running his country from an iPad.

Yes, that picture above is Stoltenberg running Norway.

Apparently, he downloaded the Run Norway app from the Apple app store.

But really?  You shouldn't be able to run a country from an iPad.  This isn't SimCity.  In fact, you shouldn't have to run a country from an iPad.  Get a freaking laptop, hippies!

If you are easily amused by things like flags and pie charts, then this digital media art project will doubly amuse you.

Designer Shahee Ilyas did… um… this:

"Using a list of countries generated by The World Factbook database, flags of countries fetched from Wikipedia are analysed by a custom made python script to calculate the proportions of colours on each of them. That is then translated on to a piechart using another python script."

I'm not entirely sure what a "python script" is, or why this poor woman can't spell the word "color," but the end result is quite stunning: An aesthetically intriguing grid of pie charts representing "Flags By Colours."

It's the kind of project Einstein might have undertaken had he wanted his talents to go to waste.

Not sure which flag is ours?  Lucky for you, I added a box with an arrow and the words "UNITED STATES" pointing to the pie chart that represents the U.S. flag — thus blocking the less noteworthy pie charts of Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam and Wallis & Futuna.

Seriously, suck it, Vanuatu.  I'm a New Caledonia guy myself.
