(What exactly would you need to tell anyone at that point?)  Speaking of sex, it’s also the 50th anniversary of The Pill. We pause and bow our heads to that tiny little miracle which we also discover was invented by a devout Catholic!

And that’s when things start to get a bit creepy… Crashboy introduces us to the Florida airport security worker who took a riot baton to his co workers after they made fun of his … riot baton.  Then Art takes us into the depths of the interweb to view the dubious offerings at “Crabrevenge“.  And if that wasn’t enough, both the nerds get the willies at the latest offering on ThinkGeek, the “Tell Me Your Secrets” Bear.

To make up for the creepiness, we look at Cupidtino, the new dating site for Mac heads, and marvel at the creator of a YouTube baby announcement video, who somehow managed to sneak away from his video editing software just long enough to create a few kids.

Plus, why you should quit Facebook, real life porn parodies, why Gilligan’s Island may not be as shallow as you thought, and what exactly is the beef train? (no, it’s not that).  All that and more on the official podcast of ROFLCon, Lesser Nerds.
