These twins are cute. We're told their names are "Control C" and "Control V". You can call 'em CC and CV for short.

Turns out, men really DO see women as objects.
According to a recent study, when men are shown pictures of chicks in bikinis, the part of the brain that handles "tools and actions" is activated -- NOT the part of the brain that recognizes other humans.
Now, before you start making lots of "tools and actions" jokes, let's do a quick quiz and see how you fare.
Which one is the object...?










An adorable geek-in-training. Soon he'll be programming with the best of 'em.
(Or is it a she?)



From cheap plastic to expensive leather, everyone has a different style when it comes to hauling around your cell phone. We've assembled some of the BEST and WORST cell phone holsters on the market. Check your belt -- you might have one on right now.
BEST for SCUBA Divers. (Especially sexy ones.)
WORST for your wallet... this ugly thing's by Nicole Miller, so you know it's expensive.
BEST holster for Grease fans... the Pink Lady.
WORST hands-free device... Ever.
BEST holster for all you Plushies out there... you dirty, dirty plushies.
WORST for protection... it looks like it's designed to scratch your screen!
BEST for taxi and limo drivers... we like to call it the "strap-on."
WORST for fashion... they look like crap on your feet, so why would Crocs make your cell phone look any better?
BEST for 007 wannabes. (Like us.)
WORST for cowboys... what happens if you get challenged to a draw? Will you text them to death?

From the blue, I'm thinking it was Leonardo. But the other turtles are missing too...

Who knew so much thought went into Cup o' Noodles?
Ignite is a new geeky show that features short presentations on a wide array of geek culture topics. The first ep, par example, is about how that classic late-night meal, Cup o' Noodles, came to be. And if that's not one for the history books, we don't know what is...

Okay, this has nothing to do with tech or computers. But we couldn't resist compiling our favorite shots of comedian Carrot Top looking -- well -- truly unique.
Consider this a cautionary tale. Major plastic surgery, intense weight training and clownish hair styles should be mixed with extreme prudence. And now, the parade of horrors...

And lest we forget, our boy Carrot T. was pretty freakish even before went through his "changes"...



We love this new mp3 player/speaker design by Bob Turek. This simple, nasty setup combines block-rocking beats with the beauty of the female figure.
A terrific gift for Fathers Day.
(Big thanks to Carson for the link)


Our favorite mathematical/political whiz-kid, Nate Silver, used some fancy-pants logarithms to calculate this year's Oscar winners.
Some shockers here -- especially Best Supporting Actress going to Taraji P. Henson, the nice lady who snotted all over herself in Doubt.
If you wanna see em...

As kids, we loathed the boring, stuffy museums we were forced to visit. So we've compiled a must-see list that's way more interesting than anything you'd see on a school trip. The most bizarre museums in America...
Willow Creek-China Flat Museum a.k.a. Bigfoot Museum (Willow Creek, CA)
Don't believe in Sasquatch? You will once you see this museum's collection of really big footprints. They're plaster casts... what more proof do you people need?!
Mutter Museum a.k.a. House of Freaky Medical Sh-t (Philadelphia, PA)
Boasting a huge stockpile of human medical anomalies -- like Joseph Hyrtl's collection of skulls, 2,000 objects extracted from people's throats, and the cancerous growth removed from President Grover Cleveland - we suggest you skip lunch before your visit.
Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health a.k.a. The Period Museum (Virtual)
We don't really know how to describe this one. It's an online compendium of vagina-related stuff, curated by some weirdo. Highlights include:
If you've ever been curious about ladies' "little friends," this is the museum for you.
Pong Museum (Virtual)
An online tribute to the world's first video game. Site includes a rare 1969 clip of two guys playing an early version of Pong. If you love watching other people play video games... well, then there's something wrong with you.
The Hobo Museum (Britt, IA)
Featuring information about "hobos, rail-riders, and tramps," as well as some tips on how to become a hobo, like this gem:
Makes ya want to eat beans from a can, doesn't it?
The SPAM® Museum aka Pseudo-Food Museum (Austin, MN)
Yes, there is a whole museum dedicated to SPAM® -- the delicious canned "food" that seems really funny until you actually taste it, and then it's not funny, it's just gross. The museum has meaty collections of packaging, ads, posters, recipes and our favorite... a Micro-SPAM-abrasion facial treatment. (Yes, they put SPAM® on your face.)
The Barf Bag Collection (Virtual)
A hurl-tastic collection of those little paper puke bags from airplanes. The guy who runs the site has over 1250 sick sacks from around the world (including this friendly one from Emirates Air). And there's even a section where you can share your own barf bag stories! The only story we could come up with was the time we watched Two Girls One Cup.

We’ve got a lot of friends out there on the Interwebs. Here’s some of the stuff they posted this week that caught our eye and that we thought you might enjoy.

Courtesy the New York Times, here are some cool pix made from lego bricks. If you've ever lived in NY, you'll love these.

Our fave:
Very meta.




When it's true love, there's no stopping it.
We just hope she doesn't get lost in the pleats of his pants...


We love Chris Hardwick...
And these gizmos all seem genuinely cool.
We applaud Chris for spreading nerd culture into the mainstream, bit by byte.

We're geeky... but we have limits. For example, we would never express our love for the TV series Fringe by etching Dr. Bishop's face into our shoulder. Some people, however, take their dweeb-ness to a whole different level. Behold, the 11 geekiest tattoos of all time...
11. Flying spaghetti monster. If you don't know what it is... it just looks ugly.
10. Power button. Hmm, we thought that was lower on the body...
9. For everyone who flunked chemistry... it's salt! Woohoo!
7. This way, whenever he looks at his watch, he'll be reminded of the video game console he owned in 1986. Which is really all you need in life, isn't it?
6. Nothing says "love" like an emoticon stabbed into your dermis.
6. Let's hope it doesn't play that annoying Space Invaders music all the time.
5. Now that's what we call ARM-rithmatic! Hahahahahahahaha -- shoot us.
4. We're told he also has Ewoks on his ass cheeks.
3. Oh no! Orochimaru's gonna get you! How will you use Chidori on Itachi!?... What? No Naruto fans out there?
2. Tramp stamp + programming language = the perfect woman.
1. DOS tattoo... when you absolutely want the world to know that you've just given up.
