In precious moments news, this is a video of the world’s tallest dog — Reginald, a 3’3″ (to the top of the shoulder blades) great dane that no kitchen countertop is safe from, meeting the world’s shortest dog, Pearl, a 3.59″ chihuahua that every kitchen countertop (and pretty much anything

This is a visualization from Global Data (some really hard-hitting data here) comparing the sizes of various monsters and aliens from pop culture movies, shows, and video games.

The Lexus passes all six tests (stationary child in road, running

Because percussion makes everything better (besides a headache), this is a video of musician Joe Porter (previously) performing the iconic guitar lick from Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’ on 31 unusual instruments. “In a row?” IN A ROW. It was a fun watch. Personally, I’m only master of one instrument: my voice.

Take a step into my way-back machine and watch (and listen to) an Intel 486DX2 (with 32MB RAM and 500MB hard disk storage!) booting up. That thing was state of the art when it was released 30 years ago. Now it’s like a fossilized dinosaur turd. We sure have come
