It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for my weekly ritual: The United States of Songs. I know pretty much everyone knows the drill by now, but I keep repeating myself week in, week out in the hopes that someone somewhere is just stumbling upon this for the first time. Still, if you’re as sick […]

Why did you play Mario games? The jumping puzzles? The storyline? No, shut up, stop lying, you played it for the coins, we all did. Partly to kill turtles and partly to get coins. And how many times did your heart break when you had to leave a perfectly good and unfinished coinbox behind? Hundreds? […]

Double The Screen, Double The Van Screenage Perfect for multitaskers. Or chameleons. How many times have you been staring at a YouTube video wishing you could also be working on a PowerPoint presentation? How often do you find yourself wanting to train your eyes to move independently, one looking over your fantasy football roster while […]

With trees, it’s really easy to tell the important ones from the boring ones. The important ones have stuff hanging from them, like fruit. Similarly, it is easy to figure out who is an important business man because he’ll have something hanging from his collar: a tie. A tie is an essential part of any […]

Forget driving. What I really needed was a GPS for getting through life’s decisions. You can look at something like this refurbished TomTom EASE 3.5” Portable GPS Navigator and marvel at how far we’ve come: it’s super easy to use, it’s got a touch screen, and it freaking talks to you while beaming signals from […]

Ah, the Tea Party. Relax, frothy-mouthed internet commenters, I come not to criticize. Whatever side you take, you have to agree they’re a polarizing force in American politics: a “love it or hate it” kind of choice in the utmost extreme. Which is why things like Tea Party Zombies Must Die exist… So arousingly-terrifying. […]

Hopefully There’s Not A Hole In One Of Them “Hey, Pete, would you go down to Hole #4 and take care of a little problem? Some clown’s holding things up.” Excuse me! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! No, not you, that guy, the one in the rainbow wig and the face paint. Yeah, that’s right, YOU! I […]

Every Tuesday, we ask Jeopardy! know-it-all Ken Jennings to blow our minds by debunking a cherished myth that “everybody knows” — even though it’s dead wrong. Since Ken’s new book Maphead, about geography nerds, hits shelves September 20, we pulled him away from the gazetteer long enough for him to demolish four incredibly wrong “facts” […]

NOOOOOOOO! Wow. As many times as I’ve seen this scene, I never noticed that Greedo was cutting drywall. I guess that’s the mark of a great work of art: you see something new every time. Well, maybe not every time. I didn’t notice anything new the last time I watched it, or the time before […]
