This is a little (well, large actually) informational graphic explaining who uses the interwebs and some other stuff about this bitchin’ series of tubes . There’s nothing particularly shocking about the stats except for the fact that US broadband speed sucks big ol’ fossilized dino balls compared to everywhere else. Oh, and the State of the Blogosphere section, that part was interesting. Did you know that 16% of bloggers consider themselves “snarky”, 44% “humorous” and 54% “expert”? Only one answered “hung like mountain lion, if mountain lions were 18 feet tall and three-quarters penis”, and that was me. Just sayin’, I can’t lie. Hit the jump for the rest of the moderately informative graphic.

Gosh, it seems like only yesterday I was hard at working fashioning a bong out of my gerbil’s old Habitrail. But it wasn’t, it was this morning I’m doing it right now. Anybody have a hot glue gun? The Gerbil Shirt wraps your torso in plastic tube passageways, making your bod a super highway of fun for Binky and Bart. The interior surfaces are textured for traction and have air vents for easy breathing. The inventor suggests you can clean the Gerbil Shirt by attaching it to a faucet (remove pets first please), and you should avoid collisions and falls that could cause pet panic. Listen, I’m not one to judge, except I totally am BECAUSE I’M SO GOOD AT IT. Wapner? Pfft, that old pantstain couldn’t gavel his way out of a wet paper bag. Judy? Wrinkled whore. But a Habitrail vest? That’s just a solid product. Gerbil Shirt [ohgizmo] Thanks to david, who better not catch you trying to run one of those tubes up your butt.

Type a search query into Mystery Google and you get the results of the last person’s search . For example, I searched for a serious medical condition I have, and got the results for “u’v got a face only ur momma could love”. Neat? Yes. Helpful? Absolutely not. But don’t let that stop you from blowing a few minutes screwing around with it. Remember: every minute wasted is a minute spent kicking the man in the junk. Go on — kick him. Now do it again. HARDER! Okay now do me. Mystery Google Thanks to Emortal, Blastphemer and Shadow Sushi, who don’t search the interweb, the interweb searches them . So are we we talking like full body or what?

Finally, a search engine designed specifically for finding World of Warcraft information. At last, the internet is complete . No, wait — it still needs an eHarmony for dinosaurs. I don’t need 29 degrees of compatibility, I just want something with teeth and a tail! And, okay, wings. Holy shit I’m a dragon lover. Embracing it! Mrgl-Mrgl Thanks to Random User, who could be any one of you.

So apparently the moon might consist of a network of interconnected tubes , like Swiss cheese . OMG the astronauts are gonna eat it! AAAAAAAAAAH I’M SO JEALOUS! Images have revealed a hole on the Moon’s surface that is at least 260 feet deep and may lead to an underground tunnel more than 1,200 feet wide which is part of an entire network of such winding tubes. Scientists are hoping for clearer shots from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, but the impression so far is that such a tunnel network could provide shelter for astronauts or potential future Moon colonists. Two words: giant space worms. Shut up, the giant is silent! But only while he sleeps. Kidding, he’s a snorer! I’m not insane, you’re insane. Plus a jerk. Newly Discovered Hole On Moon Leads To Network Of Tubes [gizmodo]

This could be older than dino bones (but NOWHERE NEAR as sexy ) for all I know, I just thought it was humorous because I pretty much see this message all the time and it makes me want to put my fist through the computer screen. Which I don’t hesitate to do. Seriously, I’m already on like my fourth laptop. Of the day. This page is stupid and cannot be displayed [org.nz] Thanks to Nik, who once punched through his monitor and broke one of the internet’s tubes.

This is a chess set made with functional vacuum tubes that actually glow while you play , making it sweeter than sticky buns. And almost as fun to stare at. But not yours. No, not yours. This wonderful vacuum tube chess set, by maker Paul Fryer, actually has electricity running inside the board so that the tubes can draw power and glow as you move them from square to square. It is called, somewhat appropriately, Chess Set for Tesla , and Paul actually made seven sets last year. Nice, Paul, how about you send a set in this direction? I’ll make it worth your while. Provided an all-you-can-eat wings buffet and mediocre conversation is “worth your while”. You sleep on it. Hit the jump for a couple more shots.

Ray Bradbury, seen here showing you how to properly do an alien , hates the internet. The author, despite his often futuristic , sci-fi themes, may secretly be a unabomber. “The Internet is a big distraction,” said Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles , while speaking out in defense of libraries in The New York Times. “Yahoo called me eight weeks ago,” he said. “They wanted to put a book of mine on Yahoo! You know what I told them? ‘To hell with you. To hell with you and to hell with the Internet.’ “It’s distracting,” he continued. “It’s meaningless; it’s not real. It’s in the air somewhere.” It’s not “in the air somewhere”, Ray, it’s a series of tubes. One minute of fact-checking on Wikipedia could have told you that. Just sayin’. Ray Bradbury to Yahoo: “To hell with the Internet!” [scifiwire] Thanks to Chase and FDSY, who love the internet for all the joy porn it brings to their lives.

Guus van Leeuwen’s Domestic Animal radiators heat your home without all the shedding and feces associated with keeping a real animal in the house. [The] radiators are made using between 40 and 60 pieces of steel tubing which are bent using a computer and then welded together by the Eindhoven-based designer. The radiators can then be connected to the heating pipes via the tail. The pelts are real and have been filled with wheat seeds in order to conserve the heat. Well it’s about time! You hear that, Mr. Badger? It’s time for you to make like a tree and get out of here. I mean it — OUT! Oh, being stubborn are we? Fine. *BLAM!* Badger steak for everyone! And, on a 100% completely unrelated note, anybody know how to get blood out of your bedsheets? Hit the jump for closeups of the different animals.
