Laughing at farts may be childish, but if you're not having some immature fun every now and then, what's the point of living?

Remember Michelle Jenneke? She's the Australian hurdler with the infectious dance. Nothing? Here's a refresher. She's back for this original video from The Chive, and she's dancing all over the place. Plus somebody eats pancakes with nunchucks...

This is the most wholesome blooper reel we’ve ever seen. There’s no cursing or violence. It’s almost less of a blooper reel and more of a “look, basketball players can make friendly jokes” reel. I mean, nobody even hits their head on a door frame, which we secretly assumed happened to basketball players all the time.

Employees in Southern California are in some hot water after shutting down the computer system at LA's City Hall. An email was sent out to workers telling them to get off their computers and get back to work. It seems the employees are more interested in watching the Olympic games than working!

You don't think badminton is hard core for real?  You better check yourself. Eight female badminton players have been disqualified from the Olympics for supposedly trying to lose matches on purpose!

Kobe Bryant made a pretty bold statement a few days ago when he said this year's men's Olympic basketball team could beat the 'Dream Team' from 20 years ago. The 1992 team included players like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and one Mr. Larry Bird. Larry responded to Kobe on the Indiana Pacers Twitter page.

With the summer Olympics fast approaching, many of the athletes are in the spotlight. Every little thing they do is being watched, even their tweets. Stephanie Rice learned that after tweeting a picture of her new bikini.

It looks like 2012 is going to be a big year for Blur.  Not only have they been added to the lineup for the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony Celebration Concert in London on August 12, but they also just unveiled a new single.

Vertical Dance, a British pole-dancing company, is petitioning the International Olympic Committee to get their sport recognized as a test event for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
