Here’s a quick quiz so see if you’d pass 8th grade science.
I would in no way like to share my grade with you.
Apropos of nothing, I would like to take a minute to say that my middle school was a classical arts magnet school and we did have all sorts of dance, music, theater, band, orchestra, [...]

Yes. We love WikiHow. - What can’t the internet teach you, you guys? You can learn how to make that cake in the shape of a hamburger or an anatomically correct brain. Or how to act like Kelly Bundy from “Married with Children”
But today we offer the best of the best: How to Make a [...]

We love the bad photoshop and nothing is better than photoshop disaters which documents all the badness. So much badness. (Really, a fun site, you can blow through the whole thing in 15 minutes).

We admit while we’ve never actual sweated (swote?) to the oldies, Richard Simmons has been a personal favorite since he picked up our mom in a hotel in the mid 1980’s. So, we’re quite glad when Jimmy Kimmel saw the genius in him and invited him on in honor of Jimmy’s 1000th show.
Including Sam Elliot and [...]

In America, there isn’t the biggest tennis following in the world but, we like it. So, for any other tennis fans or tennis lovers we have a little gift to tide you over until the French Open.
This vindicates anyone who might have ever made the Roger Federer/Quentin Tarentino comparison. We know you’re out there (and [...]

Brilliant idea. It’s like having people act out your old VCR instruction manual.
As is says in it’s intro, these people perform a short piece that was written in English, translated (with babelfish - the online translation software) into French, then translated into German, then back into French and finally back into English.
The results are predictably [...]

You know, we started calling her PatrolKitty and that got shortened to PK and that morphed into Peekers. Which turned out to be very prescient as she spends a lot of time peeking into our windows and doors, wanting t o be allowed entry.
So, this is a daily occurrence.
Can you relate?

On the Jimmy Kimmel show following the Oscars, Jimmy answered the Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon video with a little video of his own with…Ben Affleck, of course!
The only startling thing about this video is who Jimmy got to be in it. Some of these people probably haven’t even been on his show! But we have Brad [...]

Raleigh now has the street views on Google maps and I just think it is the coolest thing.
Tell me your address so I can WebStalk you. I won’t. I promise. I’m not like that. You can tell me. I won’t tell anyone. You can trust me. I’m good with secrets. Just tell me where you [...]

I hate that feeling. You learn something so basic that you can’t believe that it took so long to dawn on you.
Like learning how to comb your hair. At age 10.
Or this dang 100% button in the lower right corner of the browser. Did you know that if you click on that it enlarges your [...]

CNN.com was kind enough to inform me that the FBI wants palm prints and eye scans and tattoo mapping and they’re planning on awarding a $1 billion dollar contract in the near future.
Yes, we’re on our way to becoming a surveilled society. Yes, it’s a little scary.
But my first thought was, ‘I bet Halliburton wins [...]

You know how, like, when you were little and you really desperately wanted a pony? And how it was like probably the only thing in the whole world that would make you really, really, really happy? And, maybe you didn’t even have to own it outright, but you would just feed it and groom it and [...]

When I’m bored, I sure do.
In school, I’d fill half a notebook.
And I still do a bit at work during meetings where I’m trapped and the discussion does not pertain to me or what I’m working on. I doodle, yes, but not like this. Check out France Belleville’s site Wagonized. The cars “My Favorite [...]

Check out freerice.com. It’s a multiple choice vocab quiz and it’s challenging. Maybe you’ll learn a new word. For each question you answer correctly, 2o grains of rice are donated through the UN.
Cleverly, this idea came from a dad helping prep a kid for the SAT. He spent all this time building up a database [...]

Well, yes, I guess you can tell what people are talking about in foreign films, even though you don’t know the language. Here is a good clip of Hitler’s refelction on the Cowboys loss to the Giants last week.

Tired of wasting hours and hours just trying to keep up with the primary news and opinions on TV and print media? Here’s a one stop web site you can visit and get the market opinion of who will score big (or not). Because these are independents, their opinion is broader than the typical talking [...]

I tried to spread the word over that poor soul who was arrested for checking on (asking if someone else’s BoA check was good) a fraudulent check he was given in a craigslist scam months ago.
But here’s a reason to hate them even if you don’t bank with them. If you’re in a pickle and [...]

Reading the entirety of the National Enquirer article does make it seem a little suspect. John Edwards’ staffer is claiming to have fathered this baby. Okay. But if that married man with a family had fathered the child, would his wife let him move that adulter-ator into the neighborhood and have dinner with him? Uh-Uh. No, [...]

We’ve all heard the rumors of the Texas sized (or twice the size of Texas, depending on who’s reportage you’re listening to) pile of trash floating in the Pacific. The scuttlebutt is that it is hanging out somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii; How come there are no pictures of it? I would think it [...]

We’re not really breaking new ground here but in case you haven’t seen the internet sensation that is LolCats, there are pleny of sites devoted to it. Hey, deep down people dothink cats are cute.
