Few seem to appreciate a far-out music video as intensely as we do, so much so that one of the crazy clips included in Brainz’s listicle of The 15 Weirdest Music Videos Ever was featured in one of our listicles several months back – that would be Tommy Sparks’s “She’s Got Me Dancing.” Among the [...]

The first time we came across a sushi vending machine we decided it was probably the most dangerous and unsanitary thing a vending machine could be used for. Pretty much every day since, though, we’ve gotten our lunch out of said sushi vending machine. And, as it turns out, sushi was just the tip of [...]

Granted, we’re still celebrating the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth, but who’s to say that in our modern, enlightened age, the controversial clash between science and religion, nature and nuttiness, can’t be resolved? What if we told you that many animals are religiously dedicated to, well, religion? Don’t believe us? We suggest you educate yourselves [...]

Yesterday was National Hot Dog Day, and we were so busy stuffing our faces that we forgot to mention it. This morning a prompt memo arrived in our inbox from the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council (hereafter referred to as the NHDSC), who organized the celebration, notifying us of this tragic oversight. To make [...]

In case you hadn’t noticed, we love us some creative commercials. And while it’s sad that we’re in such an advanced stage of capitalism that one of the most potent arenas for creativity is the marketing of consumer commodities, we still see some sort of consciousness-raising value in unsettling ads like these 6 Strangely Funny [...]

The fitness craze will make people buy just about any silly-looking piece of equipment that has a mildly compelling infomercial. That’s the premise behind Obsession Fitness’s listicle of 8 Pointless Pieces of Exercise Junk, which features some of the sillest-looking contraptions you’ll see this side of a mad scientist’s lab. Case in point, our personal [...]

We’re big fans of strange sexual quirks and paraphanelia, and though we can’t truly say we endorse or encourage any one specific fetish over another, we love hearing about what’s out there. In that sense, you could say we got a lot of pleasure out of this listicle from Cracked detailing 5 Ridiculous (Safe-for-Work) Fetishes. [...]

Saturday was Albert Einstein’s birthday. Were he still alive there’d have been a big blow-out bash at the local W Hotel for his big 1-3-0. In his absence, though, we’ve rounded up some strange images that we rarely remember him by – after all, he did much more than invent the theory of relativity and [...]

As firm proponents of knowing what’s in your plate, we’re mildly terrified by the over-produced edible science projects covered in mental_floss’s listicle of 6 Snacks Prepared in the Lab. On the other hand, we could probably get used to most of these products. After all, caffeinated beer is old news – although we would never [...]

Around the time we turned 16, buses went from being the preferred mode of transportation to being a surefire ticket to social outcasting and ridicule within the space of about six months. Everybody had turned 16 and suddenly were driving each other to school. Maybe tha’s why we’re such vehement believers in public transportation.
