Thanks to MCase (loyal WillVideoforfood reader) for pointing out Knol. This is Google’s answer to Ask.com or Wikipedia, where you can write about a subject and share in advertising revenue if anybody cares to read it (and is so bored by it that they click the text ads and stop).

Thanks to Spencer (Farting in Public) for being the gracious victim of a prank that involves me picking up a complete stranger in a convenience store. That stranger, of course, was played by EdBassmaster…
Time to test out your “is it real or fake” instincts. Watch this video where a random Verizon caller is surprised when that Verizon Wireless “Can You Hear Me Now” guy shows up with an army of Verizon people personifying the Verizon network.

Yeah I went to LA for one day, and it was the biggest tease of my online-video life! I have LA blueballs. The near climax was getting to meet Punchy from WaverlyFilms, Captain from ClipCritics and my favorite YouTube weblebrities… but not having enough time to play!
