(Disclaimer: I am bad at maths. If these calculations are faulty please feel free to leave me a comment letting me know what a dummy I am.)
I caught an ad for Brita water filters recently which said you should buy a Brita filter because it will reduce the number of empty bottles you will throw [...]

One of the primary issues people have with time travel stories is inconsistent application of the rules. This is why “old” Doc Brown doesn’t remember meeting Marty McFly in 1955, but does know to protect himself from terrorist gunfire. Or how everyone “remembers” the Black Omen having always been dangling there in mid-air, while the [...]

Several commenters have informed me that those MMX “rom hack” maps I linked to yesterday were an April Fool’s gag, and also that I am an idiot. In my defense, being an idiot is awesome.
All the negativity towards idiocy in this country… well, it borders on racism. We idiots are a proud and bountiful [...]

Unrelated thought the first: We have a lot of wedding and/or bridal magazines laying around, probably because Peanut is getting married to somebody. I was amazed at how massive these magazines were until I actually picked up one and flipped through it, thereby discovering that a full 50%-60% of them are advertisements. At first this [...]

Okay so I guess President’s Day is as good an excuse as any to hold a MASSIVE SAVINGS BLOWOUT (BLOWOUT BLOWOUT blowout blowout), but come on people. There’s a line you shouldn’t cross:

If you can’t spot it, here’s a hint: these guys aren’t on money to make it easier for you to turn them into [...]

Sorry about the heavy-handed opinion/rant yesterday. Here’s some amusing nonsense to make up for it!
Taco Bell decided to celebrate the death of its founder in the most hilarious way possible:
I like to think the man’s tombstone is actually a gigantic hot sauce packet. You stay classy, TB!
In other news, they’re making Sonic the Hedgehog 4. [...]

…I whipped up these animated gifs of the bosses from Mega Man 3. Enjoy.

On the subject of a company’s advertising very clearly crushing its competition (until you think about what you’re looking at) we have Verizon’s new “There’s A Map For That” campaign. Take a look at this one-two punch:
These maps show the area covered by Verizon and AT&T’s respective 3G network. On the left we can see [...]

The Boston Herald seves up some lulz this morning. The gist of it is: a woman wakes up in the middle of the night to find her 14-year-old is awake and playing Grand Theft Auto, and calls 911 to figure out what to do about it.
First of all, a 14-year-old shouldn’t be playing Grand Theft [...]
