Can you point out where your ilium is? I know I can’t! Not yet at least. Though I might take a sudden interest in anatomy if I had sheets which constantly reminded me of my innards. The anatomically correct “Hypochondria” sheets remind you that there are plenty of small moving parts within you which could malfunction at any second. Yes, ...

I don’t think there is a doubt in anybody’s mind that this is going to be a gigantic hit.

Washboard Hero will feature such bluegrass classics as “Home, Home on the Homestead”, “O Me O My O Me”, and the irresistible “Possum ...

I was going to rewrite the lyrics to “The Star Spangled Banner” but decided against it. It’s better that way. For the both of us. But yeah! Wow! What a bookshelf, right?

Apparently, one Kile Wygle (what a name!) of Ohio was arrested for charges of DUI on a motorized bar stool. As you can see, Mr. Wygle built himself a damn machine from an old Briggs and ...

Gearfuse.com, one of the finest websites on the Internet, will now become a parkour-focused website. The move will enable Gearfuse to post more YouTube clips of Frenchmen jumping across buildings than ever before. Publisher Steve Rufer said that he is “grateful we could make this kind of switch.

Can you say Y2K? Good, ’cause a lot of people must be thinking about that right now. That stupid virus you’ve been reading about, Conficker, was supposed to activate itself today and cause half the Internet to go down. Hell would enter Earth, our first born would die and blogging would become a well-respected profession. Yeah, nothing happened. It’s a ...

This is no April Fool’s prank, my friends. In the wee hours of this morning, RIM switched on its competitor to Apple’s App Store, the Blackberry App World (how creative). You’ll be able to browse top apps, find new ones and hope someone was able to make a half-decent program in such little time. RIM is saying that by the ...
