Giving a Baby a Light Saber Is Never a Good Idea

Imagine a world where light sabers are real. Totally awesome, yeah? All fun and games, right? But not really when a baby gets his hands on a light saber.

I Want to Stand in Front of This Motorized Mirror to Break My Brain

Like those pin art toys where you can create images by pushing out certain pins, this mirror recreates your image by using hundreds of spokes and motors to re-align and replicate itself to look like the thing standing in front of it.

If Game of Thrones Characters Were on Facebook

Holy Crap, Is This Mark Zuckerberg’s Embarrassing Childhood Angelfire Website?

The word on the interwebs today is that this 1999 Angelfire page belongs to one Mark Zuckerberg.

If Every Internet Commenter’s Wish Really Came True

I love Internet commenters because they make me laugh. The good ones are so funny!
