Few things in video games are as mentally satisfying as the crunch of a Tetris piece falling right into place. That's makes this physics test infuriating.

by Katharine Trendacosta
It wasn't until I stumbled upon this video that I remembered doing this exact thing as a child at camp. Ants are fun.

This Pencil Lamp's Power Cord Leaves Doodles Around Your Home
by Andrew Liszewski
Here's a clever way to rid your home of unsightly cables: just hide them in plain sight. Designers Michael & George created the HB Lamps featuring a glowing eraser that can illuminate a room, and a black power cable protruding from the pencil tip that looks like doodles left by the pencil instead of an ugly power cord—genius.

Downton Abbey Forgot Water Bottles Didn't Exist in 1924
by Hillary Crosley
"Guys, what year is it? I can’t tell because of my water bottle. Oh, it’s the 1920s? Crap." These are the thoughts of whomever left their plastic bottle behind during a Downton Abbey promotional shot of the Earl of Grantham and Lady Edith Crawley, according to the Daily Mail. Thank you silent stranger who didn't throw away their drink while their co-workers prepped to do the Charleston. You have made this rough day better, especially since plastic bottles didn't gain steam in the U.K. until the 1960s. Time travelers unite!

And a Dog Shall Lead Them: Minnesota Town Elects a Great Pyrenees to Mayor's Office
The village of Cormorant, Minnesota, might be on to something. The citizens of Cormorant elected a dog as mayor of their small town.
It's true that Duke, the seven-year-old Great Pyrenees who was swept into office, doesn't really hold a lot of power. For that matter, he doesn't even collect a salary. The office is a strictly honorary one, part of the annual Cormorant Daze festival, and it costs $1 per vote. However, the residents of Cormorant say that Duke does his part to make the town safer. David Rick told television station WDAY that just by wandering around, he helps traffic in the town: "What he does is when the cars are coming through town, they're hitting town at 50 miles per hour, and he slows them down."

His media skills do seem to need some work. When a reporter from WDAY knelt down and asked him for a statement, he just panted into the microphone. Hardly an auspicious beginning to his relationship with the news media. On the other hand, he's a lot more photogenic than the average pol, so that might net him some forgiveness.
Following the election, Duke was treated to a five-hour grooming to celebrate, and Tuffy's Pet Food, from nearby Perham, offered the new mayor a year of free kibble. Given that Duke isn't collecting a salary, and that Perham is about 40 miles away from Cormorant, I'm inclined to think of that as charity, rather than a glaring example of graft on Duke's first day in office.
It's kind of hip to hate on "politicians" as if they were a single, indistinguishable class, but I've never believed in trashing the occupation. In a democracy, we should all think of ourselves as politicians on some level. To consider the occupation beneath decent people is to disdain democracy itself. That being said, I am a little bit of a misanthrope at heart; I've known dogs and I've known people, and I think that politics would benefit from a few more dogs in the field.
