TV Buzz Amenities include ball point pen, paper clip, and a small piece of wire. Now you can live in the houseboat MacGyver lived in for seasons 3-6. (via neatorama.com)

He gets a “B” for effort. This is one of those things that seemed like a good idea while drunk at the time.
This guy loves his cat, Steve McQueen, so much that he made him his own TV credit sequence.
The folks at Fathom Info have taken it upon themselves to create MacRecipes, a comprehensive directory of every single one of MacGyver’s hacks, tricks, and diversions over the course of all seven seasons of MacGyver. Raddest. Thing. Ever. (Via)

A 30 year old Norwegian busdriver - formerly known as Andreas Jankov - officially changed his name yesterday to Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov.

If you weren't sure if last night's Saturday Night Live MacGruber skit was a parody of an ad or an actual ad, this year's Superbowl answered that question. The soft drink giant craftily (or not so craftily) spun Will Forte's MacGyver impression into a spot for Pepsi. Is this a first for SNL — turning their skits into actual ads, instead of just parodies? The only redeemable aspect of this one is that Pepsi was able to afford the real MacGyver, who guest-starred in the ads.
