James Corden And Sting Sang A Tribute To David Letterman After His Final Show
Philip.paulssonWait, is that Sting with the beard?!?
The British pair didn’t quite see eye to eye on what the lyrics should be.
As you’ve probably heard, David Letterman brought his 33-year run on late-night television to an end on Wednesday night.
The 68-year-old host’s final show attracted a host of celebrity cameos and touching tributes.
After the show, one of Letterman's late-night colleagues also took the time to say goodbye.

Right after the Foo Fighters played out Late Show With David Letterman, British host James Corden started his Late Late Show with his own musical tribute to Dave.
As Sting sang and played "Every Breath You Take" outside the Ed Sullivan theatre in New York, Corden decided to add in some of his own lyrics “to make it a bit ghetto”.
To which Sting replied: “We don’t need ‘a bit more ghetto’, it’s great song, it’s a tribute to Dave, it’s his last night, we don’t need none of that.”

Look at this photograph. Have you seen these men?
Canadian band Nickelback is currently on tour in Australia, dodging wildlife and, it turns out, the police.

In an epic troll, police in the state of Queensland warned people near Brisbane's Entertainment Centre to be on the lookout for men "who are believed to be impersonating musicians."

News in Brief: Woman Already Off To Bad Start As Mother After Requesting Epidural
Philip.paulssonLOL
COLUMBIA, MD—In a purely self-interested move that is certain to set the tone for the next 18 years, sources confirmed Wednesday that local woman Rebecca McBride is already off to a bad start as a mother after requesting an epidural during the delivery of her first child. According to accounts, McBride took the easy way out by asking doctors to administer a pain reliever minutes before going into active labor with her son, proving that she simply isn’t cut out for the challenges of motherhood. Reports indicate that the weak-willed McBride, who could have started her maternal years on the right foot by putting in the effort necessary to withstand the physical discomfort, instead dropped the ball during her very first moments as a parent by taking anesthesia that would render her completely detached from her child’s entry into the world. Sources then expressed their deepest sympathies ...

A Definitive Ranking Of The 50 Best They Might Be Giants Songs
Philip.paulssonLove these guys.
They Might Be Giants but they definitely are difficult to rank.
"Good To Be Alive"
A very recent composition that highlights Flansburgh's warm vocals and Linnell's accordion, "Good To Be Alive" is a solid example of TMBG's skill crafting short, sweet tunes that linger well past the end of the song.
"Prevenge"
"Prevenge" is a steady rock piece that relies heavily on TMBG's funky word play and embrace of the nonsensical.
"Let Me Tell You About My Operation"
TMBG fans can attest to the band's successful history with horn ensembles and jazzy backings, and "Let Me Tell You About My Operation" continues that fine tradition.
"The Statue Got Me High"
John Linnell singing about an inanimate object with anthropomorphic qualities? A TMBG songwriting mainstay, and this simple arrangement is one of the best in its class, featuring passionate vocals from Linnell.

News in Brief: Heartless Monster Walks Out Of Local Small Business Without Buying Anything
Philip.paulssonHahah
TOPEKA, KS—Expressing dismay at his shockingly coldblooded behavior, sources confirmed that local man and heartless monster Ethan McKenzie, 34, walked out of local small business Hearthstone Artisan Goods on Tuesday without purchasing anything. According to reports, the unrepentantly cruel individual was observed browsing the shop for nearly 20 minutes, yet was unable to find room within his shriveled, blackened heart to make even a token purchase at the independent, family-owned business. Though McKenzie picked up and examined several items during his twisted jaunt through the store, sources confirmed that the incredibly callous man returned each of them to its display, even possessing the unthinkable malice required to make eye contact with and smile at the store’s proprietor while carelessly re-shelving a handmade candle. At press time, sources confirmed that the misanthrope had strolled past the cash register toward the store’s exit without exhibiting so much as a ...

An illustrated guide to business etiquette across the world
Philip.paulssonFor the business travelers in the crowd. I giggled at the french weak handshake thing.
Most business meeting ‘war crimes’ (unpunctuality, weak handshake, using Comic Sans) are fairly universal.
Others, depending on whereabouts in the world you’re based, can differ wildly. For proof of that, this infographic from the good folk at CT Business Travel breaks down business etiquette across various countries and regions.
Whether it’s knowing how many hands to present a business card with, or if small talk is frowned upon, if you are someone about to fly to somewhere to sign off on a big merger, you’ll want to be bookmarking this visual fact treat.
You’ll notice there’s no mentioning of wrapping your tie around your forehead after your fifth Jagerbomb, mind. Best avoid that move just in case.

News in Brief: Treasury Department Honors Women With First Female Currency
Philip.paulssonLOL
WASHINGTON—Saying it was time all Americans were equally represented, the U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday that it would honor the nation’s women by introducing the country’s first female currency. “For too long, our currency has only been representative of half the country, but beginning today, women in the United States will finally be able to carry and use money that’s the same sex they are,” said Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, adding that the new female banknotes would feature softer green hues and a slightly smaller, shapelier form. “By introducing female currency into circulation, we are celebrating the strong and vital roles that women have played in shaping our nation. And when today’s girls see legal tender that is composed of both male and female bills, it sends a powerful message about our nation’s commitment to equality.” Lew followed his announcement by noting that ...

A #GingerFanatic Plotted To Kill British Royalty So Prince Harry The Redhead Could Be King
Philip.paulssonLOL wow.
Has ginger fanaticism gone too far?
The trial of Mark Colbourne, a man who plotted the assassination of Prince Charles because he wanted his redhead brethren to rule, began Tuesday in Britain.

Colbourne wrote that he would “kill Charles and William and Harry become king.”

Sure, Colbourne is a crazy Aryan-supremacist, but is he ~wrong~ about gingers?

Harry doesn't need to be king for us to know that redheads rule!

Invisible Inc. review: Stylish sneaking with some tight time pressure
by Ars Staff
Philip.paulssonThis sounds pretty cool.
Appropriately, Invisible, Inc. is a marvelous piece of sleight-of-hand. What it is: a fast-paced, mid-budget tactical stealth game of limited scope. What it feels like: a grand spy version of XCOM, with a small elite team of operatives desperately fleeing a massive conspiracy to destroy them, scraping together the tools to turn the tables. That’s one of the most remarkable tricks a smaller strategy game can pull off, and Invisible, Inc. does so… most of the time.
Hacking terminals for justice
At its core, Invisible, Inc. could be thought of as “Stealth XCOM,” complete with an isometric viewpoint, fast-paced movement, and a minor strategic layer with role-playing-style character development. But Invisible separates itself from most other tactical games by focusing on the pressure of time instead of perfect strategy.
The drive to be fast exists on both the tactical and strategic layers of the game. Tactically, Invisible, Inc. keeps the pressure high by frequently increasing security and awareness of the targets you’re infiltrating. Each mission takes place within a procedurally generated building, having one of a small handful of goals: break into a vault, find an experimental weapon, or free a captive agent. The smaller scale of the game rears its head a little here, as infiltration targets all tend to look and feel similar, especially early on, before different high-level enemies appear depending on the specific corporate target.
Guards of various abilities patrol the halls of each building, with more summoned if you take too long. Most methods of taking guards out are non-lethal, and those guards start patrolling more aggressively once they recover, increasing the pressure. If you kill the guards instead, that triggers heart rate monitors that result in the game sending in even more pressure.
