How to Become a Fast Food Legend
If the two things you desire more than anything else in life are cheeseburgers and recognition for not exerting yourself mentally or physically, there's a place where your passions meet: in the realm of fast food legends. Next week, White Castle will induct 13 people with palates of dubious reputability into its Cravers Hall of Fame. The list includes 27-year-old Bronx resident Victor ...
Crazy Spaniards Build Human Towers for Sport
Yeah, collecting action figures is pretty cool, but as far as hobbies go, it doesn't really stack up against building enormous human castles for sport. In Catalonia, Spain, teams of "castellers" train rigorously to build "castells" at festivals. Castells are basically badass human towers where everyone stands up and then a little kid in a funny helmet climbs to the very top. Everyone is ...
Nutrition Professor Loses 27 Pounds on Twinkie Diet
We all know vegetables are stupid. But, historically, most scientists and professors have disagreed with us. Not Mark Haub. He's a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University who lost 27 pounds in two months by switching from his diet of whole grains, fruits and vegetables to one of Twinkies and Doritos and other crap packaged in crinkly cellophane wrappers and sold at convenience ...
Man in a Bear Suit Hijacks News Broadcast
Furries are good at three things: making us laugh, making us uncomfortable and yiffing. Fortunately, this video clip only involves the first of these. If you had a big, anthropomorphic bear costume, why wouldn't you wait until a hurricane and then go prance around behind a newscaster during a live broadcast? For a man in a bear costume, this guy's incredibly agile. Perhaps that's why the ...
Red Shirt Guy Out-Nerds Every Nerd Ever
Granted, at BlizzCon you expect there to be nerds, but there's just something about Red Shirt Guy that goes above and beyond our wildest expectations. From his "I don't leave the basement too often"-diction to the way he so humbly pwns the "World of Warcraft" dudes onstage, this guy brought BlizzCon to a whole new level. And he did it all while wearing a red shirt. Cojones, friends. Cojones. ...
WWII-Era Ammo Cache Discovered in Brooklyn Bay
Well, things just got a little more explode-y off the shores of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Divers found a hoard of possibly live ammo in The Narrows and Gravesend Bay, which might have been sitting there for the past 56 years. Eight WWII-era copper artillery shells and 1,500 large-caliber machine gun shells were found just 20 feet below the surface by divers who had gone out to take some pictures of ...
The Five Best Statues for Groping
It was brought to our attention that the Botero statue of "Adam" at the Time Warner Center in Midtown New York City has a shiny, golden wiener (left). Perhaps it's not newsworthy, but the rest of the statue is a significantly darker, less shiny brown. And, It turns out tourists love polishing Adam's knob. OK, so that's not newsworthy either, but it did get us thinking about statue-groping, ...
12-Year-Old Discovers Firefox Bug, Makes Bank
Do you remember what you were doing when you were 12? We can't. It's just a haze of marijuana smoke and Alice in Chains creeping out from under the door of our big sister's bedroom and scaring the crap out of us. Apparently Alex Miller's childhood is a little different. Alex, who's 12 and lives in San Jose, Calif., spent 15 hours over the course of 10 days searching for a security flaw in ...
The Smuggler -- For When You Want to Stay Warm / Look Creepy
Let's be real for a second: When it comes to creeping out girls, sometimes that weird rubber clown mask you bought at Ricky's just isn't enough. You need a shirt that encases your whole head and makes you look ready for anything. Cue "The Smuggler," a sweater from Rusty that covers pretty much your entire upper body, aside from a small portion of your face. It even comes with fingerless gloves ...
Paranoia Alert! Robots Have Infiltrated the White House
We knew this day would come. We just didn't think it would happen so soon. Robots have made their way into the White House. They've done it under the guise of peacefulness and, in fact, were even invited in by President Obama himself, as part of the first-ever White House Science Fair. Apparently he doesn't know that robots are like vampires, and now that they've been granted permission to ...
