The Hangover and Bridesmaids are probably not even movies, and are they not just basically the same recipe, but one for women and one for men?
 
WTF uploads 60MB GIFs?
My best guess is that you point Imgur to a video and a time range that you want GIF'd, and Imgur's servers then a completely unoptimized and scarcely-compressed GIF automatically.

I can only assume that they have infinite bandwidth available, but only a few dozen MFLOPs of processing power.

I don't think so. People convert video to GIF's and there is little to no compression (without reduced quality.) The .gifv HTML5 format has corrected this issue and massively reduced the file size, but vBulletin will not properly display those images inline, hence the huge embedded files.

The joke, is in part, how the browser poorly handles the GIF in the same way the runner poorly handled the hurdles.

When I was a little Possessed, I forged my mom's signature on a quiz. I used a pencil, proper cursive, and even erased a few errors and corrected them. My teacher looked at it for a split second, told me I had two options... 1) I had to get my mom to counter sign the quiz. 2) I had to go to detention and they would still show the forgery to my mom.

So I took #1. My mom looked at it, busted out laughing and asked me if I honestly thought it would work. I told her, but I used cursive! She laughed even more, signed the thing, and grounded me for a while.

My son and daughter are two grades apart (18 months by age) and my son is the younger of the two. One day we get a call from the school that our son (currently in Kindergarten) had punched another kid in the lunch line for seemingly no reason.

The teacher puts him on the line with me and I ask him what happened. Without hesitation he says "Remember that boy that was picking on Riley a few weeks ago and made her cry? I got him back dad. He shouldn't bully my sister."

I tempered my resolve, had a talk with him about hitting people, hung up, and sat at my desk taking in the awesomeness before calling my wife to tell her. My daughter said no one messed with her again after that.

Great kid!
 
Great kid!

I agree, he's got a great moral compass for being so young.

I forgot to add that the school principal got word back from the teacher after overhearing my son talk to me and she made the decision to go easy on him for standing up to bullying. We like our school too.
