Hey man, don’t come crying to us when your new Garden Noam starts correcting your linguistic skills or berates your guests with tirades about U.S. foreign policy.

Contracting the H1N1 swine flu virus seems inevitable. I’m not one to play God, but I like to be in control of all situations. In other words, I’d rather infect myself with the swine flu and know when I’m going to be infected than have the virus spring up on me unawares. The INFLU Mask increases the chance of getting ...

Even geeks can use a little cuteness in their life. That’s why we couldn’t resist forcing these adorable meerkats into your eye holes. These little guys just can’t stay awake. If narcolepsy exists in the wild, these guys are just about due for a sleep study. Link

Come on! It’s Swedish fish. Yum, yum. There’s nothing more sacrilicious than Swedish fish. Ok, Ok, well maybe Jesus beef jerky.

The laws of physics always hold up, even in a world such as Star Wars. Gravity still holds Mr. Skywalker on the ground and Mass Times Acceleration still equals force. But does it equal The Force?
