We’ve become a little jaded in our old age (oh, hey, we celebrated our first anniversary on Tuesday!), and lately we find most lists very uninspiring. Every so often, though, a brilliant list reminds us why we signed up for this life of lists. Heavy’s listicle of the Top 5 Songs About Having Sex With [...]

Our laptop used to overheat every five minutes, which was great when we needed an excuse not to do an assignment, but also made for some of the most fast and furious work sessions in the history of computers. We would sit in the middle of a room full of fans, hoping the extra air [...]

Given that hip-hop is so focused on showing off the hot gear you’ve got, it’s only fitting that claims to being the coolest one year will sound silly the next. This is especially true with technological goods, which already become obsolete quickly before considering the accelerated life cycles of hip-hop fads. Accordingly, rap is full [...]

Yesterday was X-Ray Day, which few people know means anyone in the world can get unlimited free X-rays all day (that is a lie, sadly, nobody celebrates X-Ray Day). The X-ray was first discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen on November 8, 1895, though he likely never suspected the comic and bizarre applications his invention might [...]

This is why Americans will never be the best at soccer: because they aren’t passionate enough to modify whatever technological craze they’re currently addicted to in order to combine it with their favorite sport.

We couldn’t agree more with the folks at mental_floss that there are few things more beautiful and weirdly exhilarating than a perfectly executed and choreographed tracking shot or long take in a movie. That’s why we’re surprised they left their list at 9 Famous Tracking Shots when they could so easily have expanded it into [...]

As you may have noticed, we’re big fans of nerdy costumes. And though we’d never thought of basing a costume on the likeness of an actual video game console, perusing Unreality’s listicle of 15 Video Game Console Costumes, well, we started to think that we’d have picked an Atari joystick or a Dreamcast controller for [...]

As Know Your Meme explained to us a relatively long time ago, one-take video have a special viral appeal and optimum meme compatibility due to their impressive displays of synchronization and the creative endurance that makes a one-take video possible. Appropriately, with the recent success of the Université du Québec à Montréal students’ viral vid, [...]

Obviously, New York news anchor Ernie Anasto’s recent comment to his co-worker and weatherman colleague Nick Gregory has been making the rounds, but it’s hardly the most extreme accidental comment by a television personality, nor is it especially spectacular alongside some of the ridiculous slip-ups featured in TIME’s listicle of the Top 10 Newscaster Bloopers.
