This is probably the best Halloween costume I have ever seen.

Just... Awesome!

I think the video speaks for itself:

This is the closest you'll ever get to finding out if the carpet really does match the blue drapes.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, Playboy will feature Marge Simpson in their November issue. The details of the "shoot" aren't many, except for Hugh Hefner's tweet and TMZ saying that she’ll be posing in a bunch of sexy cartoon lingerie.

Just like they did on Samuel Morse's birthday and Louis Braille's birthday, today, on the 57th birthday of the Barcode, Google presented its logo as vertical black bars on a white background.

Now if, for some bizarre reason, you want to generate a similar Barcode for your name, just head over to morovia.com, and select "Code 128" as the Barcode Format. This is how my name looks like:

And what good would an encoder be without a decoder? Use ZXing.org to uncover the hidden messages in barcodes.

This is just so cool! If you know what a "flash mob" is, this is supposed to be the biggest ever done in a single place. If not, watch the video before reading about it on Wikipedia.

Now tell me you wouldn't like to be part of something like this.

I know I would.

Seriously, this is weird. A combination of LEGO, stop motion animation and 8-bit video games and music.

It is also amazing...

The song was written by Daniel Larsson and Tomas Redigh was the one spending 1500 hours (yes, 1500 hours!) moving legobricks and take photos of them.

We men really do everything we can to see girls taking their clothes off, don't we? This guy Calvin Harris used his music as an excuse to get 15 girls strip down to just bikinis and use some kind of ink technology to recreate his latest single in what he calls the Humanthesizer.

Basically, the ladies stand on conductive pads on the floor, and paint their (and Harris's) hands with the conductive skin-safe ink called Bare Conductive. When Harris slaps his hands against those of the ladies, a small current travels through their bodies and onto the pads on the floor, which triggers a sound, all without the girls feeling a thing. He uses eight models to play the main accompaniment, and the others perform a tightly-choreographed routine to create the rhythm.

Let's all praise the ingenuity of the guy, and admire the result, which is pretty cool, actually:

But by the look of things, and although the erradication is under way, the damned thing will be around until 2014.

Please, think of the kittens!

I understand how scissors can beat paper, and I get how a rock can beat scissors, but there's no fucking way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile? Why the hell can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody. A rock would tear that shit up in 2 seconds. When I play rock paper scissors, I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, oh shit I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you asshole.
