Offbeat: To end our posts this morning, keyboard cat will play us off

  • We haven’t exactly talked much about it, but SFB’s staff has been laid up for the last day after getting mugged. Despite the injuries, we’re just happy they didn’t steal the laptop, so we can still update the site. Play us off, keyboard cat, play us off. (Oh, and to the the jerks that did this, we hope you enjoy the useless canceled debit cards you got.)source

Culture: Friend of the site: Check out Most Horrible Thing Ever

  • Killer concept. Scary videos. One of our favorite humorists, David Putney, has been hard at work on creating Most Horrible Thing Ever, a site cataloging some of the scary things he’s found on the Internet and on YouTube. On top of such videos as the Gymkata trailer and Carl Lewis singing about world peace, there’s lots of distinctly Putneyian humor – a unique natural resource that must be experienced. Plus, it’s got some of the same short-form style you dig reading here. Check it out! source

Offbeat: Your business card isn’t as cool as this guy’s.

  • “It doesn’t fit in a rolodex because it doesn’t belong in a rolodex.” This may perhaps be our all-time favorite video on YouTube, because we like rewarding idiots for their idiocy.source

Offbeat, Tech: Want to protest URL shorteners everywhere? Use GiantURL.

  • Click on this link. It’s 795 characters. You may need a URL shortener for it, but it would get away from the purist ideal of GiantURL: To create the longest, most useless URL possible. We salute you, GiantURL. source

Offbeat: If this guy is right, we should have a million girlfriends right now

  • Over the course of history, women actively look for signs that their man is intelligent, and I believe the ability to actively judge the situation and pull off a joke and make you laugh is an intelligent feat.
  • Kristofor McCarty • A researcher at Northumbria University who authored a study on how dudes who make laaaaadies laugh have the best luck with relationships. It also helps if you’re fat and annoying. • source

Culture: Yo, NBC, you should’ve made Justin Timberlake the host!

Tech: For 40 minutes, Google thought every site was malware. LOL.

  • “What happened? Very simply, human error.” That’s the message from Google VP Marissa Mayer regarding a hilariously disastrous error in the search engine. Essentially, someone accidentally turned on a switch that makes every page with ‘/’ as a root (i.e. every page on the Internet) verify as positive for malware early yesterday morning. And then Google turned it off after surprising everyone. And we LOL’ed. source
