Today’s Internet Roundup is brought to you by oatmeal, cats, and the Internet itself. All of whom are being honored today.

Today is the Internet’s 40th Birthday. Thank you Internet, for bringing me Homestar Runner, Failblog, and a place for people with every imaginable fetish ever to congregate. Oh and thanks for my livelihood, too. Now go order me a pizza.

It’s also National Oatmeal Day. Hope someone alerted your bowels.

Happy National Cat Day. Thank you Internet, for your abundance of lolcats.

If you’re in New York City, this is why you’re fat may be coming to a street near you. Sometimes when I’m feeling fat from the prior night’s Taco Bell, I just check out their blog and get full.

Tomorrow on October 30th, the original War of the Worlds radio broadcast took place 26 years ago, in 1983. If you’ve never heard it, go listen to it. It had people thinking the world was ending.

And finally, bizarre Facebook ads

I don’t understand why this needs to be in children’s writing

If you can make sense of this, then tweet me @vcardillo.

Oh and I almost forgot: What I learned today
Kids are way more fun that adults. Work after five today became filled with children running around in costumes and collecting candy from everyone’s office. It’s so fun to watch them do this. And then later, there was a piñata. Now, the candy in this was totally lame (in my opinion). But it didn’t matter to the kids. There was still a mad dash towards the candy from every kid in the room, as if that stuff were gold. But if it were gold, they probably wouldn’t care anymore. Only us adults would. Do the details really matter, as long as you’re having fun and surrounded by good company? I want to be a kid again (a Toys ‘R’ Us kid, preferably).
