TV Buzz And he's just as horrible IRL! On Monday's episode of “Panorama” on the BBC, reporter Declan Lawn tracked down Darren Burton, aka “Nimrod Severn,” a notorious RIP Troll known for leaving offensive comments on Facebook memorial pages that were set up to honor people who have passed away.

As some pretext, this was from an actual spelling bee one competition below the Nationals and the partipant said he, along with other students, had a very hard time hearing the judges because the speakers were pointed towards the audience.
Tech Buzz Did you know? A fun new way to troll Wikipedia! Tonight, my friend Frank sent me a link to the Wikipedia entry for RHOBH star Kim Richards, which he'd just rewritten entirely in the passive voice, making it nearly unreadable and, at the same time, infinitely better. Don't believe me? Check out the screenshot below (or visit the page itself while you still can).
Sports Buzz Chris Mennig's Championship Volleyball layout is safe, but if they think I'm going to help out with this basketball tournament they had better treat Mr. Patches to a good time. In the interest of full disclosure, I don't even own a cat.

Brent Spiner (better known to Star Trek fans as Data from The Next Generation) does not like having to say anything while being filmed. Which is probably why he is such a world-class troll to these vloggers. All these guys want is for him to sign their picture of Data fighting a Xenomorph from 'Aliens'. Is that so much to ask? BTW, what is 'Aliens'? Is that some sort of TV show or something? (Via Gamma Squad)
Statistics don’t lie. Christwire.org has released the results of their most recent poll, and the results may shock you. [Ed. note-It’s satire, people.]
