Things That Make You Go "HUH?"

Apparently, China now really believes that Americans landed on the moon.

More anti-Ipod alarmist garbage. Just listen to it at a reasonable level and you'll be fine.

Our ability to spot snakes helped humans evolve?

6. "Flaming dog meat" now officially resides on my "greatest band names ever in case I ever start a band" list.

7. Why can't they just make a car that runs on love?
