September 27th is Google’s “birthday”. In 1998, Google made its debut. Thirteen years later, they’re basically running Earth. Over the near decade and a half, Google’s displayed a bunch of interesting “Doodles”, simple, low-key alterations to their existing logo that subtly call-out an important date in an understated way. So, it makes sense they’d take a “low-key approach” towards their own anniversary. We decided to take much more extravagant approach. Check out our list of the most important Google Doodles and their backstories (of which there are many) after the jump.

When I first started using Google Chrome, I thought it was the sh*t. Completely blew Firefox out of the water. Then something happened and it all went to sh*t. It might have something to do with all the porn I downloaded. Shoulda searched incognito I guess. Anyway, I might give GC another chance after seeing this crowdsourced music video of Johnny Cash’s last recording. To make it, each fan illustrated their own frame of the video. Check it out then get an exclusive Johnny Cash theme after the jump.

Today’s Miss COED, Marilyn Monroe, was Playboy’s first ever Playmate, though back in December 1953 when the first issue was published, it was known as the “Sweetheart of the Month“. The traditional definition of “playmate” is one who is “a companion at play”. Mr. Hefner‘s version of a companion at play is an attractive female model who is featured in a pictorial that includes nude photos, a centerfold poster, a short bio, and a “Playmate Data Sheet” displaying birthdate, measurements, turn-ons, and turn-offs. This comprehensive feature appears in the centerfold/gatefold of Playboy. But, what makes a Playmate “popular”? Is it her bust, her brains, or her bold personality? Find out after the jump!

It’s officially March 24th and in case Google’s themed banner on their homepage didn’t tip you off, today marks the 137th birthday of America’s most legendary and influential magicians of the early 20th century – Harry Houdini. But for all his contributions to stage magic and his immortal legacy, not many people know much about him beyond the fact that he was a master escape artist. Houdini was born Eric Weisz on March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary to Jewish parents and was one of seven siblings. Early in his youth, his family traveled to America and settled in Appleton, Wisconsin before ultimately moving to New York. Learn more about Houdini after the jump!

You’ve probably seen those “Above The Influence” anti-drug commercials in which they show worst scenario outcomes to people smoking weed. Really depressing sh*t. They always make the person out to be an accidental murderer, or homeless, jobless, friendless. No prospects of anything positive on the horizon. Well, we have a list of the smartest, most successful people who ever admitted to smoking pot as a neat, tidy rebuttal. Suck it, ATI. See the full list after the jump!

Reuters reports the third annual sex survey by Shape and Men’s Fitness magazines revealed nearly four out of five women and three of five men say they believe texting, Facebook and other social networking tools cause new couples to jump into bed faster, but only 38% of women say they have actually slept with a date any sooner because of digital intimacy.

At the beginning of the month, we told you about Lake Superior State’s list of proposed banned words for 2011. While we’re the last ones to be censoring your freedom of speech, we also don’t want to keep saying sh*t that frankly is old news. That’s why we embedded a poll asking you to vote for the one word we, as an organization, should ban for the rest of the year. See the results after the jump!

Google and Logitech teamed up in an attempt to change the way we watch TV.  After spending a few weeks with the unit they’ve branded it Logitech ”Revue” and we have to say Mission Accomplished (and not in that George W Bush landing on a flight carrier way either). Couch potatoes rejoice, you’ve got a whole slew of new reasons to never leave the depths of your basement again. Read our review after the jump!

When you think of the perfect mate, the dream girl, the woman you’d cut off appendages to meet, what do you picture? Some would say Miss America. Some would opt for Victoria’s Secret or Sports Illustrated model. How about the Playboy Playmate? For decades, the Playmate has been one of the most iconic sex symbols the world over. Right now, Playboy’s asking users to vote for the 2011 Playmate of the Year to see which beautiful Bunny from 2010 is most popular. Will it be Heather Rae Young? Jaime Edmondson? Crystal Harris? Well, we decided to take it a step further by seeing which Playmate of ANY year is the most popular of all-time. How did we do it? Google, of course!

Just before the New Year, Lake Superior State University released its “List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness”, an annual list of terms that should be banned from use for the coming year. The popular list began on Jan. 1, 1976, when former LSSU PR Director Bill Rabe and a group of friends known then as “The Unicorn Hunters” each contributed a few expressions they disliked to form the inaugural list. Since then, LSSU receives well over 1,000 nominations annually through its website, lssu.edu/banished. Check out the 14 words nominated for banishment in 2011 after the jump!
