The varsity jacket, the universal symbol for jock superiority, unless you’re in the marching band, in which case you’re just an elitist prick.

Using the power of stop-motion and fleshy, sweaty human bodies to create a pixel-by-pixel recreation of Pac-Man.

Well she did tell you she would tape herself for you. That chomping/snorting at the end really, really, really scares the hell out of me. Not even kidding. I mean, I’m not saying I wouldn’t hit it, but god damn. Somewhere, someone’s saved game of Fallout 3 is missing a ghoul.

Psychologists at Northumbria University in Newcastle, U.K. have pin-pointed the moves needed to attract woman through the art of dance. Dancing might not be as important as it was during the days of disco hopping, but some woman still love to see a man move well on his feet. They recruited 19 men between the ages of 18 and 35 ...

Until Steve Jobs decides to integrate cutting board technology into the iPad, I guess we’ll have to settle for this MacBook Cutting Board for all of our food preparation needs.
