Just in case you didn’t know: a bunch of people are headed to Washington D.C. to get arrested. If you’re interested, you can join them! Ben and Jerry did! Do I mean the ice cream guys? Oh yeah. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield were arrested at the United States Capitol building yesterday for participating in […]

Ever heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? If not, don’t bring that up to a pastafarian. What’s a Pastafarian? Well that’s a member of Pastafarianism, which could be otherwise referred to as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The pastafarian doctrine takes an interesting approach to intelligent design — instead of a world created […]

Apparently, some Canadian guy has been “systematically smuggling” thousands of turtles, and his career amounts to an estimated $1 million. So that’s ridiculous. His name is Kai Xu, and he’s some sort of 27-year-old blackmarket turtle kingpin, or at least a humbly successful freelancer. He smuggled turtles to China — probably he was the go-to guy. […]

It’s about time the city starting dealing with all those stray Elmos in Times Square!

Imagine, for a moment, that you’re walking the streets of our nation’s capitol, admiring a monument or something. Then you hear it, in the distance: a droning sound, like an orchestra of bumblebees swarming together in ominous crescendo. The din gets closer… closer… and voosh! They’ve zipped past now, and you’re staring after them — […]

Trailer Park Boys, the Canadian cult-comedy tv series, is not based on real events. The show frames itself as a documentary, but like The Office, it’s more “moc” than “doc.” If you’ve never seen it, I’ll be honest, you should watch a few episodes before trying to care about this story. Context is everything. If […]

Cancer charities rake in a lot of money every year, probably because the disease has yet to be cured. People with cancer suffer through a harsh treatment process and, unfortunately, even then are sometimes unable to recover. It’s something we’ve been working on for years and years and years and years. And years. Who among […]
