Apparently Nokia's new flagship, the Lumia 900, is as hard as nails, literally. Having tested the phone's glass and found it to be super tough, the next logical step is see how it would hold up against a couple of nails and a hammer, obviously. Read More >
The Fresno Police busted 54-year-old Randy Smith for strutting around Fresno with a homemade shotgun hidden in the plastic shell of a Super Soaker. Look at this guy. That dude walking around with a plastic toy. How could that arouse suspicion? Read More >
Apparently Britain is positively overflowing with owls that have been turfed out of their homes. Potter fans that fell in love with the wizard's mail-delivering pet owl, Hedwig, all went out and bought one. Now that Potter's all done and dusted the poor owls are getting dumped too. Read More >

Jack White previously lashed out at the people behind the annual record book, ranting about how they denied his (apparently) rightful place as a holder of the world's shortest concert. I doubt the White Stripes were as sweaty as the above image after that one-note gig, but now the compilers behind the Guinness Book of World Records have responded to his comments about the sweat-free show.

It's always going to be a little bit awkward when you don't get invited to your own building that you designed. As Zaha Hadid describes as being just plain "rude," the Olympic Games failed to give her an invitation to the £269-million Aquatics Centre that she painstakingly designed and built over eight years.

Spotted on the Central line tube in London: A chap reading (and annotating!) some paperwork titled "The Basics: What is a penis extender?"

Y'know when your parents tell you to be careful of what you're doing on the Internet -- don't go meeting strangers, don't give your phone number away, no personal details -- that kinda thing; I took their advice with a pinch of salt, and only never did that online dating thing.
