A Brief Study of Mario
Born as Jumpman in the early 1980′s, later changing his name to the much less embarrassing Mario Mario, this is one above average plumber. What other plumbers do you know who can hold their breath for an infinite period of time underwater or can break blocks of bricks with their bare fists without any long-term repercussions?

I Knew It!: Study Shows Internet Makes You Smarter
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.)

Scientists Say Twitter Can Cause Some Major Issues
New scientific findings have discovered that the rapid-fire rate of information and social interaction on Twitter can cause all of you mere mortals some serious issues. 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. So you might feel like your more social than ever, but you’re actually digging yourself into a hole of insanity.... Continue reading
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... Continue reading
