First Drafts of Rock: Legs

First Drafts of Rock: Legs

Chris Stapleton, Kevin Bacon, and Jimmy Fallon donned their best long beards and furry guitars to turn in a cover of the ZZ Top hit Legs, but with the “original” lyrics that didn’t make it into the final cut. We’re guessing the song’s working title was Anatomy Lesson.

Take on Me without Music

Take on Me without Music

The music video for a-ha’s 1984 pop hit Take on Me gets supremely creepy, and more than a little bit painful when Mario Wienerroither gets his hands on it and subtracts the catchy synths and dulcet tones of Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen, and Pål Waaktaar-Savoy.

World’s Smallest Rubik’s Cube

After showing off the world’s biggest Rubik’s Cube, puzzle maker Tony Fisher built a teensy little cube that measures just 5.6mm across. It’s fully functional, but can only be solved with a pair of tweezers. Or a hammer.

LWT: Net Neutrality II

LWT: Net Neutrality II

(PG-13: Language) Here we go again. The FCC wants less regulation of US internet service providers, even though it’s long been proven that given the chance, ISPs will create unfair situations for their competitors and customers. Speak your mind, America.
