May Not Fit All Primate Laps The perfect notebook PC for any travellin’ man – and his chimpanzee sidekick… eh eh eh AH-AAAH I know it’s a great laptop. A 17.3” high-def LED, a 320GB hard drive, 3GB of DDR2 memory. But what business does an ape like you have with a computer, anyway? Ain’t […]

I consider myself a modern-day cultural anthropologist. Humanity’s best enjoyed with some kind of filter to drown it out. The problem with modern society is people are more connected with the world than ever was possible before, but they’re more detached from one another. It’s increasingly difficult to form real, lasting relationships with people. Just […]

I’m Gonna Have To Call You Back, I Need To Change The Channel You can stop looking between those couch cushions, Mother and Father. I’ve done away with your remotes. Their power is mine now. For too long, I’ve kowtowed to your wishes when it comes to the TV. I’ve begged, cajoled, and been sent […]

It’s because of the news that the last typewriter ever has been completed and apparently there won’t ever be any more. Of course, Gawker has proved everybody wrong by finding them for sale on Staples’ […]

The Euthanasia Coaster is like something out of an old B-grade horror film. The plot almost writes itself: Five kids on Spring/Summer break, their vehicle breaks down, “Oh look, a carnival! Maybe someone there can help us!”, demon carnies, evil ringmaster, a bunch of running and death in various carnival mainstays, all leading up to an […]

With Paper out of the picture, Scissors’s relationship with Rock has changed, and maybe not for the better. It can be like that with groups of friends sometimes. You can’t always tell who the linchpin is — who’s the guy who holds the group together and eases tensions between everybody else. Not to have Paper […]

The Days Of High Sea Adventure April, 1770: Captain Cook discovers East Australia… and wastes a thousand words explaining it to everyone. Don’t you think it got frustrating after a while? Here’s a guy who only wants to get back out there and enjoy the sea, maybe drink some rum and yell “yo ho ho” […]

Reason Enough Not To Sure, there are a ton of reasons why you might want an iPod touch, but there are just as many reasons why you wouldn’t. For example: Your boss insists on using FaceTime whenever possible to confirm the use of “sick days”. It’s a lot harder to feign “spastic colon” while at […]
