Local: Rental market gone bonkers? Nah, mate. Look at the luxury $135 a week gets you in Wellington!

Pop culture riffs: The Simpsons 1) Selma and Patty in real life 2) A catalogue of fine art that made an apppearance in The Simpsons 3) Tom Tom GPS now has the voices of Mr Burns, Homer and Marg. Listen here.

Quick sheep clip #1: Rabbit herds sheep

Quick sheep clip #2: Ever seen a sheep cyclone?

Local: Known best for blowing shit up on TV, keen music fan James Coleman has a new project. Mixtape.co.nz is a free (and he says legal) music site where you can "make, share and listen to music mixtapes... just like we did using cassettes - only now you can share it online".

Nostalgic clip: During the 1991 Davis Cup, Robert Seguso yells out "God" after losing a point and God yells back.

Big NZ Seas: And you thought the Wellington aborted landing last week was wild! This clip of Strait Shipping's Suilven was shot making its way through huge southerly swells on Waitangi day 2003. They are the biggest anyone can remember... And this was the one and only ship that came in and went out of Wellington Harbour that afternoon, watch this and you'll see why.

That child needs to smash a ball right into his coach's/father's eye. Why would you force a one year old to train at table tennis!? It's a stupid sport. Motor racing is the way to go!

Goldman, Blackstone, Glencore and Facebook. What do they have in common? They all sold the Top.

All that IPO's do anymore is to allow people in the loop and banks to make quick cash when they sell. Look at all the rest of the IPO's that have been issued last year, they started to sell as soon as they left the gate.
