Happy Friday Crasstalk and welcome to another exciting edition of Flashback Friday. Today I thought we should try something a little different. Usually we do a specific genre or time period, but today I thought we would do something that crosses stylistic borders. So today post the funniest songs that you can think of. They don’t have to be novelty songs, and feel free to post things that were not necessarily meant to be funny (looking at you Vanilla Ice). Here’s a couple to get you started. Continue reading

This is may be the greatest economic breakthrough of our time: researchers at the University of Helsinki have published a paper called “The Male Organ and Economic Growth: Does Size Matter?” Basically they successfully found a correlation between GDP and average penis size.
So you probably think the paper will find that men in wealthier countries have bigger dongs. But you’re wrong! You can have a thriving economy or large trouser snakes, but not both.
The size of male organ is found to have an inverse U-shaped relationship with the level of GDP in 1985. It can alone explain over 15% of the variation in GDP. The GDP maximizing size is around 13.5 centimetres, and a collapse in economic development is identified as the size of male organ exceeds 16 centimetres.
The absolute worst is the countries at the small penis AND weak economy end of the U-curve. Those countries get no respect in the gym locker room!
Good news everyone! Besides hearing the previous sentence in Professor Farnsworth’s voice, I’ve also found a fresh batch of the nerdiest news around. This week, we’re going to learn that you really should just grow up and one woman completely unwilling to do so. We’ll unlock the “secret” of Marvel’s upcoming comics. And finally, we’ll take a look at some coming attractions. All this and Godzilla in this week’s Nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrd News Roundup!
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is probably the weirdest name for a newspaper I’ve ever heard but It sounds weirdly relevant to today’s world, which often seems “post-intelligent.” Take Rebekah Brooks, for example, the News International CEO who did some pretty stupid things and resigned today over her involvement of the ever worsening News of the World telephonic ethics scandal. More headlines inside!
Good morning Crasstalk. Hope you are winding up the week and getting ready for a nice weekend. Continue reading
