Your move

Actor Paul Rudd and physicist/genius Stephen Hawking play a game of Quantum Chess, announced by Keanu Reeves. If Stephen Hawking calls you a nerd, you must be doing something right.

Major key change

If David Bowie was a chameleon, a man of many personas, then these musical impressions of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Lou Reed, and others only strengthens that rep. Check out this 1985 recording of Bowie messing around in the studio, shared by record producer Mark Saunders.

"I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." -- Vincent Van Gogh

Tiny treats

Watch as the world's smallest chef cooks a bouillabaisse right at the table, but with a bit of a nasty twist.

And try some Trump-lings, tasty little Donald-shaped treats of sight and sound.

"Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie." -- Jim Davis

Bud ice

This shirtless man caught on live TV strolling down the street proves something about Wisconsin.

"The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well." -- Alfred Adler

Got a sec

Impressive, though presumably not very versatile robot can solve a Rubik's Cube in about a second. Scary thing is that it's not that much faster than a human can do it. Maybe someday we can replace robots in this valuable endeavor.

"Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light." -- Helen Keller

License revoked

Millions of dollars (accidentally) went into making this bad supercar driver supercut, starring a number of unwilling Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, and their godawful drivers. If they could only just trade their money for IQ points.

And a 10-question quiz to test your most basic knowledge of general science. (Who are the people getting some of these wrong?)

"The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition." -- Carl Sagan

Made in the shade

Fair editing job with this mashup called of "50 Shades of Mr. Bean" that has all the passion, torment, and mugging you'd expect.

"Sanity is madness put to good use." -- George Santayana

Tiny moments

Another spate of dead-on impressions of A-list celebrities from Ross Marquand, a more full-featured addition to the the original celebrity nano-impressions. Try the true test of listening with your eyes closed.

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation." -- Herman Melville

ET, foam home

Insane Norwegians simultaneously clean and destroy an entire house by releasing a nice size dose of expanding exploding foam. Looks like fun, as long as it's someone else's house.

Determined motorist proves you don't need all four wheels to operate your vehicle. Your mileage may vary.

"I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights, so it looks like I'm the only one moving." -- Steven Wright

Straw poll

Looks like The Donald has the canine vote sewn up, as it seems that dogs listen to Trump. (Thanks Pops)

"Arguments only confirm people in their own opinions." -- Booth Tarkington

If you can't beat 'em

Dave Grohl faces off against Animal from "The Muppets" in a drum battle for the ages, apparently to settle some sort of beef. The muppet did pretty well, considering he's down (or up?) an arm.

And this typing drum machine is a fun sound toy. Type (or paste) some words and they're magically transformed into a catchy beat.

"Arguments only confirm people in their own opinions." -- Booth Tarkington

Hidden talent

If you thought irrelevant web searches and sending texts was all Apple's digital assistant was good for, just ask Siri to beatbox for you and it'll do its very best, which by the way isn't very good. (In case you didn't know, it seems "boots and cats" is a popular way to start learning the venerable art of the beatbox.) And apparently Siri also can do it in Japanese.

"All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific." -- Jane Wagner

Post-erized

Q: What would you wish for if you had eight million followers on Instagram and enabled push notifications for your account?
A: Handles on your phone.

Copy that

Pixar movies have undeniably great stories and characters, but you might never have realized that they also pay homage to the great movies that paved the way.

"In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

El choppo

Little known fact, but drones are versatile -- they can chop all different kinds of food, for example. Note: fruit makes for an entertaining show.

"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." -- Albert Einstein

Midnight buffet

Check out the spectacle that is millions of bats emerging from caves and streaming into the night sky as they go off hunting. Maybe a horrifying thought until you remember that they eat disease-carrying mosquitos and other annoying pests.

"There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them." -- Andre Gide

Adjust cause

Here's a little help from John Oliver if you're looking to revise the New Year's resolutions you've already failed miserably at keeping.

And for no reason, an interactive graphic that shows how much meat, sugar, and other types of food people around the world eat.

"Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it." -- Albert Camus

No valley for old men

Old (age 25) man interviews the top pre-teen entrepreneurs in "10 Under 10", an amusing and all-too-real parody of the Forbes "30 Under 30" that captures a slice of the insanity and inanity that is Silicon Valley tech.

"Age is not important unless you're a cheese." -- Helen Hayes

OzCD

Not really a feature film anymore, "Of Oz the Wizard" is nonetheless an interesting (though maybe not quite as watchable) re-edit of "The Wizard of Oz" in alphabetical order.

"Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Back, back, back

If you're old like me, you might remember the internet from when it had an uppercase "I" and about 10 sites to visit. Well then check out oldweb.today, which takes you back in time to those formative years and is sure to induce nostalgia and flashbacks with a truly authentic retro experience.

"Literature is news that stays news." -- Ezra Pound

Store and forward

Annoying habits and happenings amusingly brought to the fore in "Email in Real Life", a sequel to the previous one about conference calls.

This drone footage would make you think this Syrian suburb survived the apocalypse (or maybe didn't).
