Please leave your stalks at home. Celery phones are not permitted on the premises. Now Bananaphones on the other hand? How about cheeseburger phones? Or handphones? Raffi thoroughly approves of this message. Link

The Loch Ness Elephant

I’m thinking the Toy Dolls are kicking themselves in the shins right now for not altering their cover of “Nellie the Elephant” to read “Nessie the Elephant” (if you haven’t heard that song, find a way.) We thought we had the Loch Ness Monster figured out, we really did. But then we have to be mystified by a photo such as this. The legend continues! Link

Check In at Foursquare and Save the World

Non-profit law organization Earthjustice takes to the streets with their newest target, unsafe oil drilling. Their newest campaign against the man is no doubt inspired by the horrendous BP oil spill which has polluted the Gulf of Mexico with between 19 million and 39 million gallons of crude. Earthjustice encourages Foursquare users to check in at “Earthjustice Ad.” Every time a user checks in at the officially assigned point, $10 will be donated to stop unsafe oil drilling. While I...

Is It Possible For Mario to Jump Over the Flagpole?

A long-held myth in the gaming community, Game Trailers has taken it upon themselves to prove that jumping over the flagpole in the original Super Mario game is more than just legend. Their Pop-Fiction series proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that jumping over the flagpole is indeed possible, it’s just not very productive. If you were lucky enough to own a Game Genie than you know flag jumping is possible with a little programming shenanigans, but it’s nice... Continue reading

Hakuna Matata: Timon and Pumbaa in Real Life

So, I’m just going to assume that the Disney Lion King’s Timon and Pumbaa were based off of this real life pair. Life is better that way. Well, you know what they say: “Hakuna Matata.” Ahhh, come on Pumbaa, not in front of the kids. Link

Then you’ll realize why Gravity Google makes such an awesome prank.

Crazy Uncle Ballmer to Speak During Jobs’ Keynote at WWDC

Calling Ripley’s Believe or Not! Warning, warning, this is not a drill. Steve Ballmer is in the hizouse. CEO of Microsoft, now the second most valuable tech company in the U.S. (the first spot was just recently overtaken by Apple oddly enough), Steve Ballmer is allegedly scheduled to have a 7-minute chunk of speaking time during Steve Jobs’ keynote at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference or WWDC in San Fran on June 7th. Yes, the same guy who lashes out... Continue reading

Wiings: A Ridiculously Pointless Wii Peripheral

Designed to be used for the Bird’s Eye Bull’s Eye minigame included with Wii Fit Plus, these Wings for the Wii, or as we like to call them Wiings, are nothing short of pointless. And yes, we believe there are people who would actually buy these things. Look people, just do yourself a favor and grab a pair of oven mitts. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and money. And perhaps even embarrassment. And that’s saying a lot for... Continue reading
