Everyone needs a hobby. If you don’t have something constructive to do with your free time you’ll just end up doing really stupid stuff, like taking pictures of your junk and sending them to girls you meet on Twitter. So why not try out some of the hobbies listed here and see if any float [...]
With the rise of smartphones and mobile internet, just about everyone is plugged in to the grid at all times. It makes sense, therefore, that the business and advertising worlds would be all a twitter over the potential power of “viral marketing.†Still, even the most effective electronic marketing campaign can’t grab and hold your [...]
Just about every skill, trade, or craft has some sort of competition allowing people to measure themselves against others in their field. No joke—even that tattooed chick who makes your non-fat extra-dry soy latte every day has a chance to compete in the Regional, National, or World Barista Championships held every year. So it’s no [...]
I’ve never really been keen on fish or aquariums, so I’m not sure what led me to do today’s list of cool fish tanks. But to be honest, now that I’ve seen just how potentially awesome fish tanks can be, I sort of want one. I still won’t get one, of course, because I’m too [...]
When the iPod first came out, when it was still cool, those white earbuds were an indispensable facet of its coolness. They were totally distinctive and told everyone on that crowded bus how hip you were. Without them, you might as well be walking around with a Sony Discman. Today, now that just about everyone [...]

But winning the lottery doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be living on Easy Street. In fact, judging by the hardships that befell all the people on this list, it [...]
My first car was a 1990 Toyota Tercel. Now, I’m not that old—which is to say, I couldn’t drive in 1990—so that car had already been around the block a few times before I got my hands on it. As you might imagine, all the years, bird crap, and Midwestern summers had taken their toll [...]
Hey, remember when that guy Harold Camping said the Rapture would happen on May 21, 2011? That was pretty cool. Unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on your perspective—to the best of my knowledge, there was no rapturing or apocalaphying. When asked about this lack of biblical mayhem, Mr. Camping explained that he just missed God’s memo. As [...]
Lately it seems the world of facial hair has been dominated by beards and mustaches, what with the rise to prominence of people like San Francisco Giants’ closer Brian Wilson and The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis. But you know what? Not everyone has thick facial hair, and I’m sick and tired of all those media [...]
