The May 27, 1922 issue of The Evening Independent carried a story about moonshiners wearing “cow shoes” to trick revenuers — rather than leaving suspicious footprints leading up to their secret stills, they’d leave innocent-looking hoofprints in the dirt and grass. TheNew Yorker’s...

WatchThe best part of getting steaks in the mail? I’m not going to say that it’s the dry ice… but it’s the dry ice and pretending you’re a scientist.

WatchI’m making cheese tonight. This is in the middle stage when the calf rennet makes the milk into a custard-like gel. You cut it into cubes and heat it back up again, but giving it a shake makes it look awesome.

Wayne’s World came out 20 years ago today. In celebration, here is a short story a buddy of mine told using stills from the movie. It has to do with a girl he met recently at a bar.

Make your own caffeine transdermal patches! My gut is telling me this is a bad idea, but my gut is also very hungry. (above)
According to this theorem, the most depressing day of the year is coming up (Jan 23rd). Hoo-ray. It’s really bullshit, but look at all those maths!
Are your two favorite things Star Wars and cake? They are?! Good. I made this for you (image below)

Rules for naming your dog
Corning releasing Gorilla Glass II at CES but is being super secretive about it. My guess? Harder, better, thinner, stronger.
If you’re in the Chicago area this weekend, check out Dr. Seuss & The Art of Invention at the Museum of Science and Industry. It’s only goes until the 8th.

The thing about Subway is that it needs to stop...
I figured I would continue my ranting, so I made a picture of why I hate Subway. How Subway sees themselves is on the left. How I see them is on the right.
