Those Lazy, Hazy, Cryptid Crazy Days of Summer Are Finally Gone... Or Are They?
Labor Day weekend is upon us, and with it comes the end of Summerstravaganza '08. The past few months will go down in history for many things, from political inanity to economic apocalypse to Olympic spectacle. But mostly we'll remember the events immortalized in YouTube's "The summer of cryptid crazyness." Break out the Kleenex, and don't you dare skip the big finish:Unfortunately the moment of ...
Disagreeing With the Internet Is a Two-Way Street

Sometimes you just need to say no until it sinks in (or the novelty wears off). via:// fnnnf delicious (quick poll: yay or nay on a ...
Top 20 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' Music Videos (No. 17 - 14)
17. "We're All Connected," which blows the Stereo MC's original out of the biodiversified water. 16. "Whether the Weather," believed to be a parody of "Lucas with the Lid Off." This kid kills it so bad that he took the mic for the "Solid Liquid Gas" spoof of Digable Planets too. 15. "AC/DC Charge," the obligatory "Achy Breaky Heart" parody, is a prime example of Nye's tendency to put ...
Top 20 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' Music Videos (No. 5 - 1)
5. "Whatta Brain" reprises Salt N Pepa here just to make sure you don't stop singing to yourself the rest of the day. Whatta mind-numbing tune! 4. "R-E-C-Y-C-L-E," gives you another one to rock in the shower, Aretha style. Gotta love the way these videos recycle stock footage, too. Nye knows how to budget! 3. "Every Measurement You Make" is a parody of "Every Breath You Take" that ...
Top 20 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' Music Videos (No. 9 - 6)
9. "Diggin" proves that a parody collection is nothing without a hilariously bad take on Bob Marley. 8. "ABC's of Machinery" offers a fun parody of the Jackson Five's "ABC" until you realize that there is one kid singing every vocal part in the entire song. Who are you, Pulley Ramp Five? 7. "Smells Like Air Pressure" gives Nirvana its due. We're pretty sure Courtney Love's tried to ...
Top 20 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' Music Videos (No. 13 - 10)
13. "Let's Talk About Stress" de-spices Salt N Pepa with just a few letters. Can't deny that catchiness, though! 12. "Farm Food" takes a run at "Peaches," and if you don't like Billy Quan (somehow), you can thank Presidents of the United States of America for inexplicably throwing ninjas into their original video. 11. "The Faster You Push Me," gives Morrissey's "The More You ...

We've become obsessed with getting Bill Nye some much-deserved famo. It's because we think of the children, you know? Fortunately there's NyeTunes, a YouTuber devoted to the two-minute, egghead-meets-Yankovic music videos that concluded each episode of Nye's PBS show (100 videos uploaded so far!). You true Nye kids know you used to sing along. Bill sure could rock. One part childhood nostalgia, ...

Heed the relevant warnings, and stay casual yet classic out there, legs of ...
The CollegeHumor Awkward Rap is Hip Hop's True Social Conscience
Just when you thought that Denny Blaze and Jon Lajoie had the genre of un-gangsta rap covered, our friends over at CollegeHumor drop a track destined to change the world like no other (sorry, Nas): Big ups to Amir for going hardcore Beastie there at the end. But don't we need an awkward dance move to really launch this craze? Get on that, gang! related:// Because You Need a Reason to Start ...
