Oh oh Cybiko! Presumably born of an illicit union between a walkie-talkie and a Palm Pilot, this 2000-era gadget was for kids who wanted to send messages to nearby friends. But could it also make men erect and cows flatulent? More »How Do You Evacuate a Huge Cougar Helicopter from the Battlefield?

I had my doubts about this "I'm on a Phone" video—the winner of the $5,000 I Am T-Pain iPhone app music video contest. Until I heard these lines: [Warning: NSFW for strong language] More »This Is What Happens When Apple Fanboys Start Rapping (NSFW)
Remember the original Mac or PC rap? Well, it looks like the guys behind it are back with another Apple-themed tune. This time it's a spoof of "I'm on a Boat," and it's unfortunately kinda catchy. (Heads up: NSFW lyrics.) More »Excavator Mudhole Skiing Is America's Greatest Pastime
