These are 33 of the world’s strangest buildings. I’d like to note a few things: 1) 3 of these buildings are featured in Montreal, my hometown! The olympic stadium is not actually that cool, guys. 2) but the twisty building in Dubai is SO COOL. 3) the 31st building looks like an overturned pig.

Uganda calls takebacks — killing gays will remain a piece of the anti-gay legislation after all. We look at other countries with similar laws and recent interviews with anti-gay leaders in Uganda. Also; GLSEN is counting the number of times you say “dyke” on twitter and we don’t understand why and an annoying columnist talks smack about the hot teacher makeout.

Check out this neat/depressing acoustic cover video of Radiohead’s “Creep”.

Ever wonder what LA would look like with no people in it? Photographer Matt Logue spent 4 years completing a project he calls “Empty LA”. Check it out for yourself.

Pillow: 1, Cat: 0.

I think you need to see these pictures of a vicious polar bear attack. You will thank me after.

Crystal and Intern Emily are here to give you a run-down on indie singer/songwriter Rachael Cantu’s second studio album, ‘Far and Wide’. Also! Rachael speaks with Audiostaddle about the pros and cons of being an independent artist, adding to the drama of Private Practice, and how stellar musicians like Tegan Quin came to play on the album.

girls who look like boys and boys who look like girls and they’re all such beautiful people.

It seems that I always pick websites that I can’t describe, so we’ll see how this turns out. Pick a background colour and this website chooses a bunch of pictures from flickr that correspond! It’s fun, do it.

I think you should waste 8 minutes watching this video.

I stumbled upon this website and thought it was kind of a nice idea even though the background hurts my eyes. It starts with “Did you know that some of the most amazing people in history were gay?” and I was hooked, basically. Despite being wildly incomplete it’s still kind of fun to poke aroundRead the Rest…

A;ex is on a boat which means that I’ve probably surpassed her in number of team picks. Anyways, here are some cool pictures of people unintentionally doing the exact same thing in NYC. I especially like the yawning one.

So this may or may not be one of the coolest team picks ever. I don’t want to tell you what it is because I want curiosity to make you click on it. Just know that if you like words, you’ll like this site.

You may find haikus ridiculous, but I think they’re really cool. You know what else is ridiculous/cool? THE INTERNET. Some person on the internet has written a bunch of haikus about the error messages that often pop up while we’re on the computer. If none of these have ever happened to you, teach me yourRead the Rest…

The Democratic Health Care Package narrowly passed the House last night. Plus, Lady Gaga shares her feelings, Michael Jackson is doing pretty well considering, Adam Lambert makes a new friend, Judge Judy rips Michael Lohan a new one, Jon Stewart does an amazing Glen Beck, and now you can know how Facebook knows you’re gay.

Ladies, ladies, ladies. This is the breast scarf ever.

Until 11th grade I did not know the difference between ‘it’s’ and ‘its’. Maybe you don’t know the difference either! That’s okay, because this site is here to teach you all about apostrophes.

Two of my favorite things in the whole world are photography and poetry. With Graphic Poetry, the two are combined. Look through the archives to find some beautiful pictures and words. Unfortunately, I think the author stopped posting in 2006.

Ignoring the fact that this site is called ‘The Art of Manliness’ and it’s all about the ‘the man’s essential library’, here are 100 books you should read. Don’t be fooled, women can enjoy classics too.

Okay, I don’t really know how to explain this. You draw some lines, you press “start scribble”, you mess around with the settings, and you get a cool picture. Now go be productive/artsy.
