World’s Largest Working NES Controller
At first, I titled this article "World's Largest NES Controller." I had to go back and add the word "Working" because unlike many of the huge goofy NES controllers we've seen in the past, this one is actually functional!

Angry Birds: This Time As Real Life Game Play
Some consider Angry Birds to be one of the most addicting games of all time, and I am ready to agree.

World’s Oldest Successful Supermodel At Age 82

How To: Make A Mathematically Correct Bagel
Do you know of people who think in terms of math equations all the time? I used to be that way.

Retro Games Recreated: Gummy Bear Stop Motion Video
I remember writing an article a while ago about the Gummy Bear Chandelier, and I remember Diana and I discussing how much the thing would cost.
