Sunday is Pi Day (3/14, of course!), and to celebrate we baked you these 14 Perfect Pi Pies. (We had originally intended to bake 314 such pies for the sake of greater numerical accuracy, but this proved to be a terrible idea.) Pi Pies, in case you eat all of these before Sunday and need to make your own, require 3 cups of flour, 1 egg, 4 teaspoons of sugar, one teaspoon of salt, 5 cups of filling (whatever you choose to fill it with), 9 pinches of baking soda…

We are very happy to report that we have never had to make a sign for a missing pet (or, goodness forbid, human), but if we did we doubt we would be able to be as funny as the concerned owners behind Neatorama’s 8 Not Sad Missing Dog Signs. Even faced with the very real possibility of tragic loss, they’re able to keep a sense of humor. We noticed one missing “missing” sign, though, for the Soviet space dog Laika.
We were in a gang fight once. Well, we saw one. From really far away. It may have been a rugby team practice… At any rate, we much prefer seeing gang fights in movies than in real life, where they tend to be less well coordinated and more confusing. Indeed, one of AMC Movie Blog’s Top 10 Movie Gang Fights is actually a musical, and another brawl we think should have been included, from Martin Scorsese’s sophomore film Mean Streets (1973), is set to “Mr. Postman.”
Remember how in that awful chick flick Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (1997), the two title characters end up saying that they made it big by inventing the Post-It, only to have their lie exposed by a fellow alum? No? That movie must have left more of a mark than we expected. You know what doesn’t leave a mark? A post-it note, which makes it kind of a perfect medium for animation. Therefore, he are 12 Pretty Post-It Note Animations.
This is how we used to play Pong before video games were invented. This post has more post-it note animations.
Webcams are a bit of a throwback to the Internets of yesteryear, no? Now that we have live streaming video from just about anywhere in the world, are choppy, slow, low-resolution webcams really relevant anymore? Well, maybe when they become most irrelevant is precisely when they’re at their best and most relevant. What do we mean? Well, check out Asylum’s listicle of 11 Unusual Webcams and you’ll see just how weirdly hooked you might get on something like a live feed of a creepy snowman in Gaylord, Michigan.
It takes us forever to make the many amazing murals that adorn our office walls. Our foremost media and materials are post-it notes, darts and single slices of baloney. The results are often pointillist in style and smoky in smell. Watching us at work would probably be pretty entertaining, though certainly not as interesting as watching the processes of artists in Tutor Art’s listicle of 12 Videos of Artists Making Wall Illustrations. We would also add this incredible collaborative mural by two of our favorite street artists, Know Hope and Aakash Nihalani.

You will never, ever find us wearing a snuggie, ever, unless we were to just happen upon one for some reason at a party or something in which case, maybe we might just try it on for a photo-op. And there you’d have one more surprising someone in a snuggie, another fashion victim giving up on life. We’d totally put ourselves on our listicle of 12 Unexpected Snuggie Wearers.
Snuggies on the half shell: Leonardo, being a self-sacrificing leader, didn’t get a snuggie. Snuggle up to more snuggie wearers.
If we were ever to create our own fragrance (which, incidentally, stay tuned for a BIG announcement) we would call it Number One, Top of the List or Top 10 Scent or something. Luckily, we know better than to try to venture into the murky and musky perfume industry, not like the hapless folks on Woman’s Day’s listicle of 10 Stinky Celebrity Fragrance Names, two of which, incidentally, come courtesy of P. Diddy. We’re surprised they didn’t include 50 Cent’s Power, which, not surprisingly, is much, much too strong.
Though it maybe gets more press for less romantic, more straight-up sexual songs, hip-hop has really changed the way we think of love songs, whether it be in early LL Cool J tracks, more contemporary R&B duets, or any of the innumerable examples in between. Last month for Valentine’s Day, Complex assembled a loving list of the 25 Greatest Hip-Hop Love Songs, and though we’re largely in agreement (totally agree with Pharcyde’s “Passin’ Me By” at number 2), we have a few problems. For instance, why only one LL track? What about “Around the Way Girl“, “Hey Lover” or “Doing’ It“? Also, why no Jay-Z? Our biggest problem, however, is the total snubbing of Outkast, which seems criminal.
Today, apparently, is Panic Day, which has us seriously preoccupied about everything. Something is going to go wrong. We are not yet sure what, but we can definitely sense it. Something bad is coming and all we can seem to do is freak out in anticipation. That’s it: we’re hitting the panic button. But wait, where is it? If only we had one of these 12 Convenient Panic Buttons within reach.
This one comes with a “good” or “bad” panic option. Don’t panic, there are more buttons after the jump.
