Speaking of Steve Urkel (Jaleel White), have you guys seen what he looks like today? I just love this song. [Via]
Hardware Store Turns Into Zombie Preparedness Center
One mid-west hardware store is taking the initiative in getting you prepared for the coming zombie apocalypse. They have all your basics on hand for zombie-proofing your home and outfitting yourself for those late night zombie hunts: generators, nail guns, and sledgehammers. But they’ve also cornered in on another market, delaying your decaying zombie body. […]
Geeks According to Sony: How We Get Girls
Sony Europe has launched a webseries apparently intended to celebrate geek culture along with Sony gadgets. Because, you know, geeks like gadgets. They also can’t talk to girls, and probably wear pocket protectors. So if this is what we know about geeks, and we also know about girls, I wonder what geeky girls are like. […]
We Can Recycle Plastic [Video]
Less than 10% of plastic trash is recycled — compared to almost 90% of metals — because of the massively complicated problem of finding and sorting the different kinds.

This is the challenge Freaking News posed to their readers, and below are some of the entries they received. […]
Wake Up in the Morning Feelin’ Like Stormageddon [Video]
A Doctor Who version of Ke$ha’s Tik Tok, but minus Ke$ha. (Can we stop using the $ now? Please??) Speakerwiggin does a decent enough job here, and though he falls a little short of on-key in the chorus, it’s fun if you’re a Whovian. If you want the lyrics, you can find ’em here. Enjoy! Warning: […]
Awesome: AT-AT Dog Costume [Pic]
As a dog whose human is an artist at an animation studio (in this case, Katie Mello at LAIKA), odds are you’re subjected to a number of weird costumes. In this case, we’ll allow it. Say hi to Bones, a miniature but fully functional AT-AT. [laughing squid]
