There’s really not a whole lot going down down under, so this is what’s making news: An Australian politician has apologized for accidentally liking a Facebook photo of a 16-year-old prankster exposing himself. It was part of a prank called “sneaky nuts,” a time-honored tradition where teenaged boys sneakily expose their balls through their pants. Read More
In the Valley, employees of major tech companies like Google and Facebook wear their building badges like a literal badge of honor. You don’t need to keep it attached to your belt while out on a Friday night, but it also doesn’t hurt your chances of landing a date. You should probably debadge when you bang though (just a thought). Read More
Rival sci fi clubs almost instigated a nerd apocalypse in the U.K. yesterday when “the force” (heh) was called to mediate a fight between the warring factions. Read More
If you’re a “successful entrepreneur” whose ego is wildly mismatched with his actual value to the human race, you probably just don’t have time to comb through online dating profiles with the hopes of landing Ms. Right.

Got it? Read More
Hey, you! You who hates everything. I’m diggin’ your smirk. Boy, have we got something to show you. If you thought flashmob wedding proposals were bad, get a load of this: some guy actually used an aerial drone to propose to his girlfriend.

There are so many ways to steal an iPhone, and unless you just like the feel of it, shoving one up your butt probably shouldn’t be one of them. An ex-con tried pulling that off last weekend by tucking the Apple device up his tush in an attempt to hide it. However, his brilliant plot was foiled after the victim located the phone via an app, which pointed out his location at a West Village police station, and retrieved it. Read More
Soon, we’ll all be glassholes. However, zombies are going to squeak by unscathed from that insult after a Google spokesperson confirmed last week that Glass isn’t “quite ready for zombies yet.”
The announcement was made on Google Plus, which also resembles a deserted town post-zombie apocalypse, from zombie/user named Deth Becomes You. Claiming that it (?) couldn’t afford Read More
If The Breakfast Club taught us anything, it’s that anyone–even the popular girl and the nerd!–can land in detention. It’s highly unlikely, however, that an entire school would be sent to detention simultaneously, no matter how Mean Girls they get.
