The New York Times profiles Russia’s latest sitcom sensation, an officially-licensed version of the Fox classic, Married, With Children. Even more bizarre, it was licensed by the Russian government itself and follows the plotlines of the original series almost exactly.
“ ‘Married With Children,’ with its satire on the American middle class, fits the style of [...]

Some societies leave giant pyramids. Others, vast storehouses of knowledge.
This is our legacy.

Because the “Sticky/Stickly Bomb” had a tendency to occasionally stick to its thrower instead a target, Capt. R.S. Gammon, a British paratrooper, invented an updated model towards the end of World War II that bore his name:
The basic design was to use a fuze, already available in the 69 Grenade, which was then inserted into [...]

My apologies for the awkward formatting on this post, but I couldn’t bear to shear away or compress a single pixel of one man’s glorious office conquest.

There is no beer here.

Seriously, do not mess around with me. Where is the beer?

Oh, you’re good.

At 5 ounces, Leatherman claims this is the lightest full-size multi-tool ever (less than full-size being those tiny keychain models).

Unless you’re an actual DJ, there’s probably no way you can pull off this Stamps Disco watch. Turntables are only cool if you use them.
But if you’re not a poseur hipster or a talentless hip-hop hack, by all means, get thee to an Urban Outfitters—they probably didn’t rip this design off from anyone—and get to [...]

Alert! Reader Malcolm O. has a problem and needs us to help:
My workplace has decided to have a night out on Saturday. Usually, it’s a rowdy 150 people or so in a bar (or bars) on the night after payday. This time however, they’ve decided to go upmarket, and take advantage of the hospitality of [...]

We’ve been watching No Reservations since the first season, but I just had chance to watch the latest episode set in Hong Kong, and it was damn near perfect. I don’t know who or what they’ve changed around on their production team, but for a show that should be losing some of its edge, it [...]

My kid sister Rachel Fracassa, having just completed a rigorous raw food chef certification after a couple of years of solo training, has just opened her new business, “Lemons in the Kitchen.” I’m super proud of her, even if I have every intention to continue eating cooked meat, at least until the day she can [...]

For your viewing pleasure, a video of prop-driven airplane acrobatics that doesn’t end in a fireball but yet somehow remains entertaining.
