Those 2 AM calls to the “party lines” you don’t think anyone knows about? The government is totally on to you.

Yeah, that’s right – Sugar Ray has a new album coming out.

I’m not sure how much we appreciate how awesome the Apollo 11 moon landing was. Here are some reasons why we should.

Grant Morrison is an insane comic book writer. And that’s saying something.

A look at what will be at this year’s Comic Con.

An interview with Dave Eggers.

Cover songs that match their original. On the Devo one, I guess I’m turning in my hipster ID, because I am not a fan of it at all. To me, it’s a novelty that belongs on a compilation of comedy songs. And as for Walk This Way…I don’t think I would classify the Run DMC version as a cover. More of a reimagining. Especially since the original artist (Aerosmith) is involved.

Traveling to the bottom – the very bottom – of the ocean.

I thought there was something sketchy about that Apple company.

The complex city that is Venice, and the challenges it is facing.

I never really understood the appeal of those huge deli sandwiches. Next to impossible to eat, it seems to me you're just buying the novelty of having a lot of lunch meat on some bread. I guess you can save it and eat it later, which they suggest here, but still I can only imagine the waste of food simply because some tourist wants to eat at Carnegie Deli.

Stay up to date on your global disasters...in real time! (Note to self - cancel that trip to Turkey)

They Live is a small littel cult film known mostly for the line, "Put on the fuckin glasses!" and a fight scene between two guys that has seen no rival. So news of a remake is met with some trepidation. I need Rowdy Roddy Piper involved somehow, and I need a fight in an alley that at least comes close to the original. (Hollywood Reporter)

I love how the people in these photos are so nonchalant about wading through rough surf in Venice. It's as though it's a daily occurrence. I mean, apparently it happens more often than you think, but still.
