Your Favorite Song is a Joke

The folks at Cracked.com have done the research, and it turns out that some of your favorite songs - the ones that you thought were filled with deep, meaningful lyrics - were just written as jokes. We're talking Nirvana. We're talking Quiet Riot. And we're talking about two of the bands that will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

Punctuation You Never New Existed

Here's a cool list of real punctuation marks that are very seldom used. Some you probably knew...

Yep. Paragraph time. AKA the Pilcrow.

Others have names that sound like freaky fetish porn...

The Interrobang.

And then there's the one that NEEDS to be on every keyboard and phone: the snark. Used when there's sarcasm or irony involved. Which is just about every text message your teenager sends.

Now good luck figuring out how to actually type any of those in.

You're Doing It Wrong: Painting with Beer

There are many uses for beer. Drinking it. Chugging it. Doing kegstands with it. But one artist has missed the point of beer entirely by deciding to paint with it.

Check out more of Karen Eland's art here to see how she ~~wastes~~ uses beer to make art.

Admittedly, this does look better than what I end up with after a night of consuming beer.

Liquid Television on the Web

Liquid Television, the half-hour smorgasbord of odd animation that ran on MTV in the mid-90's is back! At least online. Yes, the show that spawned Beavis & Butthead, Aeon Flux, Speedbump the Roadkill Possum, Plymptoons, Winter Steele, Invisible Hands, and more strange stuff than I'll ever understand.

You can check out classic Liquid Television segments here, or explore the site for additional MTV animation stuff like "The Maxx" and "Celebrity Deathmatch."
