I Knew It!: Study Shows Internet Makes You Smarter

thinking-cap

A study conducted by a UCLA research team concluded that searching the net can increase your brain function, further confirming that I’m a genius (or so says all of the internet IQ tests, that’s right, all of them baby.)

The study followed the brain activity of 24 adults aged 55 and 78 years old, half of which had little to no previous internet experience. The results clearly showed changed brain function which led to keener senses, higher intelligence and a huge pulsating penis.

Falling Books Bookend: Reading is Dangerous

Playing God is entertaining. If it wasn’t, games such as The Sims and the iPhone’s Pocket God wouldn’t be nearly as popular as they are. So why shouldn’t gadgets offering a bird’s eye view of another person’s misfortune not be popular as well?

The Falling Books Bookend adds a dose of omnipresence into your study or library. Watch as a little unidentified man perpetually raises his arms in fear of the oncoming avalanche of knowledge.

As a Jew-Bot T1100, I’m at no risk here, though you, as a human, are apparently at risk of a numbed sense of morality and indifference to human suffering, classic symptoms of a sociopath.

We’re Still Alive, Large Hadron Collider Works!

It’s probably not in the best interest of mankind to try and recreate a big bang right here on our planet, but scientists just can’t get enough of attempting to destroy existence as we know it. For those not familiar with the Large Hadron Collider, it’s the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex that stretches a whopping 17 miles. Scientists are using it in order to disprove and/or prove many theorems we aren’t sure about today.

Well, I woke up this morning, so the world hasn’t ended. This must mean the Large Hadron Collider was a success. In celebration of waking up to see another blue sky, DVICE has posted a slew of stunning images of the Large Hadron Collider.
