It’s called Lively and it’s your ticket to the cyber world, complete with emotes and customized avatars. Screw that pay to play bullshit on Second Life. Hell, no one wants to hear your lame cyber concert anyways. Play on a real stage or go home! ...

New York‘s Improv Everywhere is one of the funniest comedy troupes I know of. If you’re not familiar with them, they stage ridiculous events to play pranks on the public.
