The Dig Is On For Awful Atari Game
The legend continues! Atari's "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial" is widely considered to be one of the worst video games ever produced, so much so that Atari reputedly buried cartridges of it en masse in the desert of New Mexico. Naturally, the game has since assumed a sort of cult status, and gamers are dying to dig up the ruins. But while there was chatter that the dig was soon to happen, today authorities halted the fun pending an environmental report. Usually, we'd side with the environmentalists here, but it would be all kinds of cool to watch an excavation of an old-school video game in the desert! I mean, right?
Poop Book "Wins" Prize for Strangest Title
Strangely, the book How to Poo on a Date: The Lover's Guide to Toilet Etiquette did not become a New York Times bestseller. But it did just win the Diagram Prize for weirdest book title of the year, besting these fellow gems: Are Trout South African and Working Class Cats: The Bodega Cats of New York City. Personally, we think the toilet book sounds like a winner. But then again, we happen to find restroom behavior super fascinating.
Toast the Weekend with a Blood Cocktail! (Or Not)
The trendy craft cocktail movement has officially jumped the shark. A bartender in Chicago is selling a drink made from pig's blood. Like real, actual pig's blood. The cocktail has been described as "game-y," "intense" and like consuming "iron death." Bottom's up! (?)
Happy Birthday, Twitter!
Twitter has officially turned 8, which means it's time to celebrate the wealthiest and most annoyingly precocious child of all time. Let us reflect on the days BT (before Twitter), an innocent age when # was a pound symbol on a land line (!) phone and the only people who followed us were stalkers. In any case, #hpy bday 2 u @twitter! #omgwewillneverbethesame
