Seeing as today is the 2010 World Cup final (GO NETHERLANDS!), here is a hodge-podge of what I’ve learned about soccer/fútbol and the World Cup in general from the 2010 World Cup.

• Soccer/fútbol players must moonlight as actors, because I’ve never seen such childish, petulant drama on a sports arena. (Granted, I don’t watch a lot of sports.)
• Speaking of drama, the French national team… a theater troupe of actors if there ever was one!
• Vuvuzelas annoy everyone except South Africans, apparently.
• FIFA referee calls are controversial at best, downright awful at worst.

My Brazilian soccer/fútbol player name is… MANDERTO!

This pie chart sums up the rest of my lessons from the World Cup, courtesy of Cracked:

And now, all talk of soccer will go quiet on the U.S. front until the World Cup in 2014!

I came across this map of “International Number Ones” that indicates which country in the world is best at what. The idea behind it is that every country is the best at something; therefore, every country is number one in one thing or another.

Good ol’ USA seems to be number one in serial killers. Somehow, this doesn’t surprise me. And hey, it’s good to know that the USA is good for something, right? ;D

On a completely unrelated note, if the car alarm outside my house that has been going off for the past hour doesn’t get turned off soon, I might resort to doing something completely drastic that I refuse to be held accountable for.

Last night (or early this morning, technically), my roommate and I decided to go on Chatroulette, a “service for one-on-one text-, webcam- and microphone-based chat with people around the world.” Basically, users are paired randomly for webcam-based chats. Users have the option of disconnecting the current chat if desired by clicking “Chatroulette Next” (also known as “nexting” someone). It’s an endless stream of making random connections with strangers from all over the world in an attempt to… well, I don’t know. Make new friends, I guess?

Most of the reason why I went on Chatroulette was to see what all the fuss was about. My friends that have been on Chatroulette have a variety of opinions about the site. One friend, who had only been on the site once, saw no nudity or masturbation during her entire Chatroulette session (which, for anyone who knows anything about Chatroulette, is quite a feat). Another friend of mine Chatrouletted with Jessica Alba, and another did with the Jonas Brothers. Personally, I wouldn’t mind Chatrouletting with Ashton Kutcher!

I also felt like Chatroulette is something that everyone has to try at least once, especially if you’re in college. So, I threw caution to the wind and spent an hour on Chatroulette, typing and talking and viewing and nexting until I had seen more than enough of what Chatroulette has to offer.

Unfortunately, I did not see any celebrities. I did, however, talk to some nice boys from Canada, England, and France, but the majority of what I saw was penis after penis after penis, mixed in with plenty of masturbation. Now that I have seen enough random penises and strangers masturbating to last me a lifetime, I definitely won’t be going on Chatroulette again anytime soon!
