Mutated moo

Mutated moo
We know it's cliché to look at web animation and say the author is wrong in the head -- but Cyriak is. (He is. Wrong. In the head.) Cows are always getting abducted by UFOs, right? Now you know what happens.

Misheard Bollywood lyrics
We've seen an awful lot of those "misheard lyric" things on the interweb, so by now your tolerance might be fairly high. But it's tough to hold back at least a grin at this epic production -- a very classy number, combining elaborate dancing, garbled words and some excellent comical posing as a bonus. Have you been high today?

Pointless
What started as an exception may soon become the norm if recent trends are anything to go by. Pointed ears, made famous by Mr. Spock, seem to be the choice of many music-loving youngsters in New York. It appears they are resorting to plastic surgery -- ear sculpting, they call it -- developed by Hungarian plastic surgeon, Dr. Lajos Nagy. The claim is they enhance the music listening experience. No excuse.

Why We Do Dumb or Irrational Things
Philip Zimbardo, who once lectured me a couple things about psychology, says: "I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?" Now for your consideration and voting, here are 10 influential social psychology studies.
