I don't really think that Marge is that MILFy.

I don't know if you really want people to learn the language by looking up entries on UrbanDictionary.com

Freerangekids.com points out that there has never been an actual case in the United States of a child being poisoned by Hallowe'en candy.

Life would be better without balls, let's face it.

]]> Episode SechsIn this week’s episode, the fact that Art’s “not getting any” gives Crashboy a great app idea.  If you’re a sasquatch, you might want to get your partner to switch birth control methods.   Marge Simpson’s Playboy cover…. Run of the MILF?

Hey, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web… if you could go back and do anything differently, what would you change?   (plus while you’re at it, if you could tell Art what the hell a backslash is, that’s be great)

We review “Zombieland.”  Our review goes into depth on the Darwinian nature of mankind with a partial focus on Cartesian Dualism, as well as an overall Keynesian approach to the marketing techniques necessary in a post recession economic entertainment model. Or not.

Your testicles… Are they weighing you down?  Our Ask Art segment answers a few questions that should perhaps have remained unasked.  Plus, the nerds give all worthy praise to George Carlin, who wanted you to know your children are overrated.
