The many faces of toilet paper
It’s tough being a lonely toilet paper roll. You sit there most of the day alone and in the dark. Your only action comes when someone feels the need to literally wipe their ass on your face. What a shitty job. Through all of this, the ever great invention of the 20th century still manages to be cheerful at times.

Best homeless sign ever
There is no question in my mind that this is the greatest and most creative homeless sign I’ve ever seen. I would give this “man” every single last dollar that I have in my wallet. I wish I knew where he was located so that I could send him a few sawbucks … if only I could see him.

The most insane action sequence ever filmed
By Charlie White
Get ready for the most incredible action sequence in history: The mind-boggling climax of blockbuster Indian sci-fi movie Enthiran. Released three months ago, you can clearly see why this is the most expensive motion picture ever created in India.

Emoticon keypad
By Russell Holly
By now, you have probably absorbed the good, bad, and ugly of CES. You’ve seen tablets, toys, upcoming smartphones and more accessories for each than you or anyone else could possibly know what to do with.
