Current Music: "Draw the Curtain" by Cats Laughing

Today I got the usual Nigerian bank scam variant spam, but the sender was, I kid you not....

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI!

Current Music: "Darkest Hour" by Arlo Guthrie

Earlier this season, an episode of Supernatural apparently ran short, so they showed this clip of Jensen Ackles lip-syncing to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger."

Watch that, then watch this clip of a bunch of Supernatural fans from the CW Message Boards doing their own version of it.

Thanks to mousitsa (who's in the video) for the link.....
