Introducing BABYMETAL

If you haven't heard this band, you're about to

What's the worst part of vacuuming? That's right -- not being able to listen to music. Even if you're rocking a relatively quiet 'cuum like this Dyson DC41 upright bagless, you're still not going to be able to hear your favorite tunes over the hum of the motor. 

What you need is some music that manages, through sheer sonic force, to penetrate the decibel drone of the Dyson and help you pass the time while you clean. Death metal, while acoustically penetrating, fails to provide the "enjoyment" one seeks. Japanese girl pop, while catchy and pleasing, fails to pierce sonically. 

Am I Otter Not?

Less fun than a box of otters, but less cryptosporidium infections, too.

Why would you need a waterproof case for your smartphone? Six possible reasons:

1. Your job expects you to be reachable at all times, even while wakeboarding.
2. To be ready to Instagram your imminent discovery of Atlantis.
3. You're at your best in conference calls in the shower.
4. Your coworkers relieve stress with impromptu soy-sauce fights.
5. You are an anthropomorphized entity made entirely of water, like TLC in the "Waterfalls" video, but way less hot, let's be for real.
6. Your job writing lists of dumb jokes means you spend a lot of time crying.

Feeling Included

When buying the tablet, it's not just about the tablet you buy. It's also about what's included with it.

Before deciding on including a pouch with this Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet, we considered several other options. Here's what was on the drawing board:

Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet w/Slouch: When we originally proposed this idea, it was, hey, people can be lazy and slouching while using the tablet and won't feel bad because the tablet will be slouching too. Turns out, though, that when a tablet is slouching, it messes up the way the light hits it or something, and you can't see what's on the screen clearly.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet w/Couch: Who doesn't love a new couch!? A couch to go with a tablet? Even better! But the shipping people shut down that idea saying it wouldn't make a profit or some crap like that.

Did you know that the second week of March is Brain Awareness Week around the globe? You didn’t? You weren’t aware of your brain? Conscious of your consciousness? Well, get with the program. March is perhaps the brainiest month of the year—it’s also when we celebrate the 1879 birthday of famous smarty-pants Albert Einstein, and the 1946 beginning of Mensa intelligence testing. But it turns out people will believe just about anything they hear about what’s going up between their ears. We’ve asked Ken Jennings to fact-check some particularly lame-brained misconceptions about gray matter.
