Tech Buzz Ah, The Golden Age. What a magical time when you could actually hear people talking on the big screen and your car had a phone. Wait, what? (via iheartchaos.com)

Music Buzz Look at this photograph. Every time I do, it makes me laugh at this person for PAINTING A NICKELBACK MURAL on the hood of his/her car. Also: How did the grill get so red? And what the hell is on Joey's head?
Culture Buzz What a courteous bear! I bet it apologizes before it eats you, too.

If this would have been me as a child, my mother would have pulled the car over and taken care of the situation. Shame on the parent that allowed this to continue.

Pretty smashing video. Policeman Dan Pascoe attempted to use his squad car to prevent a BMW thief from escaping onto the highway outside of London. The BMW hit the squad car as Pascoe was getting out, hurtling him into the air. Pascoe immediately jumps up, chases down the BMW on foot and eventually catches the thief. Pascoe suffered no injuries. Said the very model of a modern super constable, asked to recall what he was thinking when he was struck, “Oh dear, this hasn't turned out the way it was planned.”

Because you demanded it, you bunch of savages. Although, I have to admit, “Pippa's Panties” has a certain alliterative ring to it. Definitely sounds better than “Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge, Formerly Kate Middleton, Has A Sister And Here's That Sister's Upskirt.” More at The Superficial.

The crew from KFOR miraculously survived without injury. Others across the region weren't so lucky. This twister was one of more than 30 that struck Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas last night. At least 13 people are dead.
