2. Arnie's back and to celebrate, some dude with way too much time on his hands has compiled every memorable quote and one-liner from the actor's essential films into a 10-minute compedium, including such classics as, "You should not drink and bake" and, "Let's kick some ice". (YouTube)

9. If you only watch one NSFW video today, make it this one. In case you didn't read that, let me repeat: DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO AT WORK. (Pretty Much Amazing)
