I'm unsure of what I just watched, but I'm passing it on in case I accidentally fell into the movie "The Ring"


Why is it that the scariest and weirdest things seem to come from small and seemingly harmless Asian men?

Why 'Back to the Future' Is Secretly Horrifying


I like the premise of this discussion... but I think I like the "after work coffee shop" setup just as much.

Also, I never knew Robert Zemeckis was a racist. Or that black people invented hoverboards.

Maybe not so safe for work

You knew a mash-up was bound to happen...
I'm going to go ahead and suggest headphones if children/coworkers/strangers are in the room. Definitely some uh, questionable language.

You know you're in trouble when...



...even Wyatt Earp's suggestions fail.
Yet all I keep thinking is, "That croissant looks delicious."

Sagan, droppin some lyrical contemplation regarding the future of humanity


One of my favorites, and one that I find a random need to listen to every now and again.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Mr. Stephen Hawking."

Average iphone user ... yes, like you Carl



I hate me some iphone 4.

Not a parody

Apparently BP made a really prescient oil-drilling board game in the 70s. The funniest bit is that they included "hazard cards" like "Oil Spill!" and "Pay £1,000,000 for clean up costs!"

Ha! £1,000,000.

That flute solo will cost you



Aw man, Men at Work totally ripped off that flute solo and now need to pay 5% of royalties to its owner. All those times I've cranked up the song I've been secretly rocking out to "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" meaning that I have just retroactively become less cool than I was. Will Men At Work be forced to pay me compensation?? Can money repay what I have lost??

The Dirtiest Job of All


In many ways, Mike Rowe has been working Dirty Jobs his whole career. I have to say, I was almost sold on that $25 paper bag for cats.

Rock Band: Just like riding a bike

Snoop Dogg tries to rent an entire country

Specifically, Liechtenstein. It's common knowledge that every Liechtensteiner and Liechtensteinerin are rabid fans of tha Dogg Pound, right? Snoop is huge in the Upper Rhine.

The best part is the response of the authorities: "It would have been possible." But the deal fell through because Snoop's management "did not give us enough time".

Please plan ahead next time you want to lease an alpine microstate, Snoop.
