Apparently, We All Exist Only in a Computer Simulation in the Future. Bummer.
6:00AM Adam Frucci | According to Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom, the chances are pretty good that we’re currently existing not in the “real world,” but instead are a vast computer simulation created by a future, further advanced version of ourselves.

‘Japanese Tetris’ Makes Deal or No Deal Look Totally Tame
6:15AM Seamus Byrne | glumbert.com – Japanese Tetris Man, I love Japan so much. What other country would have a game show that consists of contestants dressed in metallic spandex trying to squeeze through moving walls with holes obviously smaller than they are carved into them? Although I’ve gotta admit I lost some respect for those contestants when none of them just dove through the middle of the cut-out shapes. You could have fit, guys! Oh, it’s OK.
