Taking inspiration from my two favorite geek icons of all time, Flickr user mrksaari created these real-life Super Mario zombie cosplay costumes. Princess Peach looks like she’s holding her own just fine, so I’m pretty sure the Mario clan has a new objective. And I’ll give you a hint.

True story. Indiana University cosmologist Nikodem Poplawski observed the activity of particles entering a black hole and apparently Einstein might have been wrong about that whole general relativity theory thing, at least the part that says black holes are singularities. According to Poplawski, instead of matter reaching infinite density while going through a black hole, the particles rebound and expand ...

Yeah, I know, I know, I had a Friday post yesterday, when it really wasn’t even Friday. The point is it’s Friday now, so shut up. For all of you who haven’t seen the film Titanic or those of you who feel like watching it again, here it is, compressed down into five seconds of masterful cinematography and Canadian pop ...

I mean, not even considering the fact that this is the strongest beer ever sold at 55% alcohol, every bottle of The End of History comes stuffed inside ...

The iPod Shuffle is one tiny ass device. It’s actually pretty hard to keep track of if you’re multi-tasking, which many music-listeners happen to be doing. If you’re one of the unfortunate schmucks who own the Shuffle, iPod Shuffle Neckband keeps your device close, regardless of how much close you might or might not be wearing. Look, sometimes a guy ...

The last time I moved I made a pact. I will never use cardboard boxes again. I have more class than that. The movers must have been mortified. But even I, a connoisseur of the finer things in life, has to admit that cardboard boxes are the practical way to go. They’re lighter than trunks and definitly cheaper. X-Tape makes ...
