Itamar Franco's Punk Bangs

Itamar Franco's Punk Bangs, as evinced in this wikipedia entry, is the best thing on the Interwebs today. By best I mean worst. I mean look at that thing. It's so big. And standing straight up. I would say they found the worst picture of Brazil's former president in order to embarrass him, but actually, as I recall he actually ran around like that. Oh the early 90s were such a wacky time.

It's bold, and it will survive a hurricane. No joke.

Wittypedia

Wittypedia is a wiki of half hearted jokes. In their own words,"Here at Wittypedia we strive for mediocrity and, although it's hard for us to be subjective, we think we've finally achieved it! "

I think you're right, Witty.

They define every day objects with phrases such as, "Ice: If you put water in a freezer it goes all solid - that's ice. If you put a cat in a freezer it'll die - so don't do that. Ice has many purposes - such as providing a name and lyrics for the popular beat combo 'vanilla ice.'" The site is littered with ads, but it generally does a good job of finding entertaining pictures for their articles. C+.

Wiki Trivia

Wiki Trivia is an online trivia game by Alex Ksikes and Philipp Lenssen made from Wikipedia entries. Basically, it pulls up quotes from a wikipedia page, and replaces defined nouns with questions marks. You have to guess what is being talked about.

It's fun, for like, 5 seconds. Enjoy.

List of problems solved by MacGyver

List of problems solved by MacGyver is a Wikipedia entry brimming with genius. If you didn't already know. 'Bout time someone put this copious list to the books. Among his many accomplishments, MacGyver:

• Defuses a highly advanced nuclear warhead using a paper clip to short circuit the timing device.
• When near a deadly laser grid, MacGyver lights a pack of cigarettes to make the lasers visible. He then smashes a pair of binoculars, removing a prism to deflect a laser beam back to the emitter, destroying it.
• MacGyver plugs a sulfuric acid leak with chocolate. He states that chocolate contains lactose and sucrose (chemically C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁), which are disaccharides. The acid reacts with the sugars to form elemental carbon and a thick gummy residue. (This has been tested and confirmed by Mythbusters).

Not only is this on Wikipedia, but now it was confirmed by Mythbusters. Q.E.D.: that makes it double true.
