It’s like trying to fit an alien sized peg in a round hole. Alad Lewis created this Tetris/Space Invaders mash-up with every intention of scaring the living shit out of traditional Tetris players. You think your tough because you can fit a few blocks into conveniently-sized spaces? Try this on for size. Keep in mind that to reach the final ...

As a native of Pandora, I can assure you that Na’vi isn’t all that hard to learn. Any language is learnable. It just takes dedication. Look at me. I learned English after my trip to Earth in a matter of weeks. Fluently within months. And now? Well now I’m the greatest extraterrestrial blogger on Earth. I jest, of course. Arianna ...

Born as Jumpman in the early 1980’s, later changing his name to the much less embarrassing Mario Mario, this is one above average plumber. What other plumbers do you know who can hold their breath for an infinite period of time underwater or can break blocks of bricks with their bare fists without any long-term repercussions? I think not. This ...

I would add something pithy, perhaps a sub-type they missed, but this about sums it up. Oh, wait! And hashtag abusers, you know the ones…. #TCOT #Right #Conservative #Palin. And I just thought of another one – the people who share links in bulk, so a chunk of 8 tweets from the same person will show up in a row, ...

By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. The first few digits of the Fibonacci string are 0 ,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21… so on an so forth. If you look close enough, Fibonacci can be found damn near everywhere in nature and ...

I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I would be completely offended if I received a cat for Christmas and the gift wrapping was done clumsily. In fact, I might even refuse the gift and release the cat into the wild just like I did with grandma when she forgot to put the milk back in the refrigerator. Note: ...

You’ll have to leave your jet pack at home, but at least you’ll have room for all of your school work. The Boba Fett Backpack will not be able to save you from the sarlacc pit, so steer clear of any intimidating looking toothed gaps in the ground. Never leave your Bounty Hunting 101 course book home again. Enjoy your ...

Look man. Owl City is not the first artist to write a song that doesn’t make lyrical sense. Hell, look at most songs from the past 30 years and tell me how many are meant literally. I can think of only one off hand. Great lyrics don’t have to make sense. In fact, some of the greatest lyrics make no ...

Since I was a kid I’ve had an odd fascination with Charlie Brown and the Peanuts crew. I don’t know whether it was the innocence of the strip, the underlying consistency of Charles Schulz or my ability to relate to Charlie Brown and his dark cloud mentality. Regardless, Peanuts is one comic that will always be read and will always ...

Some of these might actually work if you were ridiculous enough to pull it off, or if your would-be thieves were really, really stupid. For one, everyone knows a simple Dell sticker wouldn’t cover the MacBook’s Appleness because there is no way to cover up its halo or the omnipresent glow that surrounds your levitating body when you use one. ...
