Apparently South Korea has one of the lowest birth rates in the world. This is a concern.

The Ministry of Health has announced that the country will be shutting off the lights in office buildings one evening a month so workers can go home and build babies.

Seriously.

Every third Wednesday evening: Go home and bone.

If you are of Korean ancestry, I would click on that link, print it out, then go tell your boss that every third Wednesday you will be requiring the afternoon off to have intercourse. It is your patriotic duty. "Orders of the Ministry of Health, sir. Gotta head home and diddle the wife." Then loosen your belt and sing the South Korean national anthem.

I keep hitting refresh on bbc.com to see if Scotland's government is giving the same orders. So far, no.

In 1960, the folks at Sealed Air created Bubble Wrap. Since then our gifts, products and belongings have been so much safer to pack and ship.

We've also developed an obsession with snapping entire sheets of the plastic stuff.

In honor of this wonderfully loud, environmentally destructive day, go snap a sheet or 2.
And if you don't work in the shipping department snap some virtual bubbles.

It was hard for me to understand that other countries produce television shows, especially good ones. I was under the assumption that all foreign television had poor color correction and looked as if they were filmed on a circa-1986 camcorder. I was wrong. I can admit that now. You see, I've become a die-hard fan of the BBC produced Top Gear.

This is an exceptionally produced television show. Not only is it beautifully shot, but the chemistry between the three hosts is some of the best on television - worldwide. At its core, Top Gear is about cars. But it's what the show does to these cars that makes it so entertaining. They race them against fighter jets, launch them through trailers (or "caravans) and attach rockets to them and send them off ski jumps. And with their own test-track outside the studio, they place a "star in a reasonably priced car" and have them race around the track to beat other celebrities' times.

I've pulled some of the better clips after the jump.

They are baking a special penis cake for the guy in the I [heart] Beer t-shirt.
Hmm, I wonder if he'll like it?
