Mythbusters is a great show, but there are some pressing questions they just don’t answer: How much alcohol can you get into a Jell-O shot? How do you make ballistics gelatin at home? How many condoms can you wear at once? Fortunately, My Science Project has these answers and more.
Via William Gibson’s blog, a treat that he describes as “as solid an icon of Progress as we’ve seen this year:” the cheeseburger in a can; I must admit I agree with this writer that this is “both the best and worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
Strangely, not only did the Mythbusters not build the world’s first jet-powered beer cooler, the guy who did so managed to pull it off years before that show’s first episode–and, strangely, doesn’t even seem to be an American (which I thought was a prerequisite for something this overwrought).

We’ve all had them: the patients who are convinced the government is spying on them. Perhaps you’ve even had one wearing a stylish aluminum hat.
Fortunately, someone decided to study exactly how effective these hats might be. And of course, for every study, there’s a debunking.
Any old sports team can sell you a foam finger. Only the Portland Beavers, however, can offer you a foam claw.
By now, you’ve probably seen a hundred fake Internet signs, kind of like this one:
This, and many more varieties of sign generator, are finally available in one place.
If you don’t know who Jackson Pollock is, you probably won’t get a chuckle out of the Make Your Own Jackson Pollock site.
