cardboard box

An amazing device that can easily be made into a variety of things.

Quote from Calvin and Hobbes:

Calvin: "Hey, Hobbes, wanna go time traveling with me? See, I built this time machine." (shows Hobbes a right-side-up cardboard box)

Hobbes: "This looks a lot like your transmogrifier."

Calvin: "To the inattentive layman, yes, but with the transmogrifier, you crawl under the box, whereas in the time machine, you climb in on TOP."

Hobbes: "Ah."

The best book series of our time.

Twilight fan: "Hey, Twilight is way better than Harry Potter!"

Charlie Brown

1. One of the most iconic comic book characters of all time; the main character in Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts, which has been adapted into numerous TV shows and movies.
2. A song by Coldplay from their 2011 album Mylo Xyloto. Some absolutely love it, and some absolutely hate it. Despite the title, it has no reference to the above definition; the only reference to the comic was cut out during production.

1. Charlie Brown is my favorite comic book character after Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.
2. Why does everyone hate "Charlie Brown" so much? I thought it was one of Coldplay's best songs.

Microsoft's ripoff search engine that tries to match Google.

Screw Bing. I'm going to Google.

Gapgate

An event occurring in October 2010 in which Gap, the clothing retailer, changed its logo, received universal hate on the Internet for it, then subsequently changed it back.

Gapgate was terrible. It's a good thing they changed the logo back.

Radiohead

Originally called On A Friday, Radiohead is a band that is miles ahead of the rest of the crap released nowadays. Ranked 73 in Rolling Stone's list of greatest artists, Radiohead is made up of five members: frontman Thom Yorke, guitarist Jonny Greenwood, bassist Colin Greenwood (who is the older brother of Jonny), drummer Philip Selway, and other guitarist Ed O'Brien. Radiohead has released eight studio albums, a few of which are considered classics. They are Pablo Honey (1993), The Bends (1995), OK Computer (1997), Kid A (2000), Amnesiac (2001), Hail to the Thief (2003), In Rainbows (2007), and The King of Limbs (2011). While Pablo Honey is not as acclaimed as the earlier albums, it is the album that made the band hit it big, as it carried their hit single, Creep. Other famous songs by the group include Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry, Paranoid Android, Karma Police, No Surprises, Idioteque, Everything in its Right Place, Pyramid Song, Reckoner, Nude, and (most recently) Lotus Flower.

Radiohead should be the most popular band in the entire world. Seriously.
