Avenging what happened five years ago in perfect turnabout style, the Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA title by winning Game 6 of these finals in Miami 105-95 on Sunday night — celebrating on the Heat's home floor, just as Dwyane Wade and his team did to them in the 2006 finals.

Also -- in case you never noticed -- the entry points out that the term itself is "a portmanteau, a combination of the words 'brother' and 'romance.'"
It's levelicious! (via Gizmodo) Photoshop 1.0 is old (20 years old, to be exact) but it looks brand-spanking-new and fan-freakin'-tastic on an iPhone. Forget the newest version of the image editing software, because after seeing this teasing demo, you'd be happy with 1.0!
Mark your calendars, and double-check with your calculators! March 14, 2015 (at 9:26.53 AM/PM) will be the most accurate Pi Day in our lifetime.
CAKE SMASH! The Hulk fist is hand-carved out of Rice Krispie treats, covered in fondant, and hand-painted. The "pages" are printed on frosting sheets, and the entire comic book underneath is cake. (Click through for more pics)
