Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stores: Prince

Charlie Murphy is the brother of Eddie Murphy and was a comedian on the Dave Chappelle Show and one of the skits was Charlie Murphy'sTrue Hollywood Stores of the time he and his brother met Prince and hung out with him.

Dave Chappelle give a dead-on imitation of Prince in the skit and Prince liked it so much he used a picture of Chappelle as Prince on his single "Breakfast Can Wait".

In the radio interview below, Prince confirms the skit was a true story.



Although Prince in humble in the interview and says he wasn't that good; it was just Murphy was that bad at basketball, despite his short stature, Prince was a good basketball player when he was in school and had the drive even then not to settle for being second best.

Civil Engineering with Pancakes

If there were more food demonstrations in science and physics like this one, it would sure make those subject a lot more fun (although I can see myself burning he heck out of my fingertips).

This is by Youtube user jimspancakes and his explanation of how these came about.

"Thought I'd give myself a little challenge today, so I decided to test out the load-bearing qualities of pancake batter. The project was more successful than I had anticipated, minus the minor burns from trying to assemble the structure on a hot griddle.

If you over-cook the pieces, they become pretty stable, almost like balsa wood. The trick is to cook out all the moisture without burning the pancake. Adding liquid batter as 'mortar' works pretty well, it just takes a little while before it will hold anything together. After I assembled the sides to the road-deck, I left the whole thing on the griddle for a few minutes to solidify everything.

Yes, I Allie and I ate it after I took a couple photos :)"
