Do you find yourself waking up in the morning feeling refreshed? Tired of getting through your whole day without falling asleep?? Sick of thinking clearly and rationally all day!? Wish you could spend all night every night angry and agitated!!?! Well I've got the solution for you, have a baby!

Oh that's right, I used to be just like you before I tried this revolutionary old program. I'd hate my whole day feeling all normal and not-tired. I'd be guilt stricken with all those uninterrupted hours of sleep just piling up night after night. But now that I've started my program of "having baby," I can breathe easy during my day knowing that I've just spent a fulfilling night trying to figure out if the baby is hungry, tired, dirty, cold, hot, dead, hyperactive, confused, diabetic, allergic to nuts, deaf, blind, demonic, confused, bored, scared, wet, gassy, crampy, pregnant, worried about getting a job, worried about finding a girlfriend, tense, wanting tummy time, wanting back time, wanting hammer time, wanting more allowance, or suffering from an enlarged prostate.

Sound appealing to you? Then get with the program that's been helping people not rest for literally decades, maybe longer!! Trust me, you'll have no regrets at all (maybe)!!

It's time for our weekly update from Sift parter Neatorama.com. Check out the neat stories below and their site for lots of great stories (and material to submit to the Sift ).

	A Counterfeit Penny Made of Gold Seattle artist Jack Daws made eleven pennies by casting them from 18 karat gold and plating them with copper. One of those pennies was sold for $1,000 as a work of art. Another penny was spent at a news stand in Los Angeles. Yes, Daws sent one of the pennies into circulation in 2007 as a counterfeit -on purpose ...[Link]

	The Redundant Photography of Fred Lebain French photographer Fred Lebain took a trip to New York City and took a series of photos around town. He then revisited those sites after printing out huge poster versions of his shots. Then he carefully re-aligned the shots to incorporate his previous image into a new, dynamically interesting one.[Link]

	The 15 Best Man Caves on the Internet A man cave is a place for a man to get away from the rest of the family and the problems of the world and to engage in his favorite pastimes. The best man caves get posted to the internet, and BroBible.com selected 15 awesome setups for this collection.[Link]

	The Bald Bear Vets are baffled at this strange sight: Dolores, a spectacled bear at the Leipzig Zoo in Germany has gone bald!It could be due to a genetic defect but the animals don’t seem to be suffering any other afflictions.[Link]

	The Most Popular Christmas Toys By Year Since 1960 A time-line which illustrates the top toys from the last 50 years. Here they are, the most popular Christmas toys since 1960.[Link]

One of the reasons sited for termination was:

"Rick falls behind in responding to customer e-mails because he spends too much time watching youtube videos"

I was very offended so I made myself clear.

I said: "Scott (my boss), I haven't gone to youtube even once since I started working here. Go ahead and check the log."

Didn't want to work for them anyway. Pricks...

I don't know if the site admins got my message but Videosift has been cut off from all of Taiwan for about a month... I called my ISP, tried accessing it from various computers on different isps, used various free traceroute servers around the country (at universities etc.), and so on, all to no avail.

Just thought I'd share.

You can vote while not logged in?

Yesterday I was watching videos with my morning bowl of cereal, and I must have cast a half dozen votes or so before I tried to post a comment and realized I wasn't logged in. The sift now lets non users vote? How are those votes counted?

When I logged in, the video I had last voted up and was trying to post a comment, it re-assigned the vote to me, so I hoped it did it for the rest of the videos I voted for.

Apparently it didn't though because one of the videos I know I voted for is on the top 15 today, and it shows like I haven't voted for it. What happened to all of those votes I cast yesterday before logging in?
