A highly sophisticated study by the University of Salford has proven the obvious: the bigger the whoopee cushion, the sillier the video will be. I'll bet you didn't know that whoopee cushions the size of beanbag chairs actually existed. Well, now you know, and now you know you want one in your home. (via URLesque via Doobybrain)

While we don't doubt his mastery of the storytelling arts, we're not sure how helpful LeVar Burton would be at a shuttle launch. Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, on the other hand...

We have a long history of excellent reportage on various and sundry disgusting and or dubious culinary abominations, so we couldn't let this one slide without drawing your attention to it. Gregory Ng of Freezer Burns calls it the Pepperoni Threepeat, and it consists of twenty-four pepperoni pizza rolls stuffed inside two pepperoni pizza Hot Pockets, all rolled up in a DiGiorno Pepperoni Pizza and baked for half an hour. All told, the meal comes to more than 3,000 calories, more than 100 grams of fat, and more than 8,000 mgs of sodium (about 400% of your daily recommended). We suggest you share, if you can find someone else similar culinary cojones to your own. (via Urlesque.)

Listen, we didn't want to say anything, but sometimes, you can get a little funky. We know, you're generally considered a very clean individual, but with a sedentary life style of eating dead rodents, and only shedding every few months, things can get a little rank. It's okay. This is the trade off we get for only having to feed you once a week and not having to deal with hair on the furniture. Just don't forget to clean between your... um. You know what, never mind.

Popular Mechanics has the answer, from their Abusive Lab Tests. If you've got a Master, don't sweat it. If not, well, see below.

Jonah Hill recently appeared alongside Sesame Street's Elmo to explain the finer points of mustachedom. Unfortunately, there was no discussion about the concept of neckbeards. Perhaps they're saving that one for a future episode. Video below:

I love Parry Gripp, I love Spaghetti Cat, I love television, and I hate Justin Bieber. Well, three out of four ain't bad. This latest Parry Gripp number serves as its own pitch for a television series, and I, for one, am sold. Justin Bieber and Spaghetti Cat fly around the world in a balloon, taking down the bad guys kung-fu style.

Sometimes things just come together perfectly, and it's like an episode of Blue's Clues gone absolutely, perfectly right. Well, let's see, Blue, do you want to put the Adam Savage on top of the Gollum then make both listen to "I will survive? Choir of children: "Noooooo!" Well, should we have Gollum and Adam Savage fight while "I Will Surive" plays in the background? Choir of children: "Noooooo but that would be awesoooome!" Should we have Adam Savage sing "I will Survive" in the voice of Gollum to a crowded room? Choir of children: "Yeeeeees!" Good, because that's just what happened:

Some guy has uploaded 180 videos of flushing toilets to YouTube. What are we supposed to think? Weirder still is that he currently has 75 subscribers, toilet flushing fans all. He assures us he's a consummate professional:

I'm a big toilet fan, have been one ever since I could remember. I'm not going to say all of my videos are perfect there may be a little no. 1 or toilet paper in the toilet, but NO no.2.

The filthy p'tahks over at Wikipedia have made an unforgivable error. With the visual update of the site has come a new logo. A new logo...

That is missing its Klingon character.
