Remember the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "hot coffee" scandal? It was where people peeking into the game's code discovered an abandoned mini-game where CJ could have clothed, awkward sex with the girls he picked up on dates. As it happens, games have insane

Our brains need workouts. Short puzzles and riddles are the perfect way to train your brain. Bright Side collected some tasks to help the eggheads warm up their brains.
Among the most comical and mischievous citizens of dogdom, the Bull Terrier is playful and endearing, sometimes stubborn, but always devoted. These unique “eggheads” are exuberant, muscular companions who thrive on affection and exercise.
Thanks to NASA, we've all seen photos of Mars. It's red, dusty and featureless, so some of you jerks might now be bored by the miraculous spectacle brought to us by those eggheads in Houston. Well, now they've upped their game, equipping their InSight Lander, which is currently hanging

In a new study reported in an article in The Atlantic Cities by noted urban studies professor Richard Florida (author of The Rise of the Creative Class), Davis ranked as the 10th "Brainiest" city in America. According to the article, "the rankings cover five key cognitive areas:...
Finding Home is a trilogy of pieces, poignant, joyful, and humorous, about puppeteer Monica Leo’s parents and their immigration experiences. The first piece, My Father’s Imaginary Friend, uses candlelight and shadows to interpret the story of her father’s hope and survival during his incarceration in a concentration camp. The second piece, German Eggheads in Rural Texas, traces the family’s life in a Lutheran parsonage in rural Texas. Monica uses her mother’s illustrations to create puppe…
In case you're laboring under the delusion that advertising is rocket science, a pair of physics teachers want to set you straight. The eggheads—Dale Basler and Rhett Allain, writing in Lab Out Loud and Wired, respectively—claim the physics are all wrong in this RPA ad for Farmers Insurance, which involves a barnyard animal being flung by a tornado toward someone's home. There does seem to be one clear mistake—the "s=185m/s" above the tree should probably read "s=185m," since that's meant to be a distance, not a velocity. But that's just a labeling goof. Basler and Allain say the calculated distances are wrong, too, and they expend significant brainpower in proving their point. This may seem frivolous, but I'm happy someone's doing it—perhaps our bovine bombs will hit their targets when we go to war with China, North Korea, Alaska or whoever. Except … oh no! Allain repeatedly calls the animal a pig, when it's clearly a cow. What a fool! Man, we are screwed in any war involving long-range animal rockets. Reached by telephone, reps at Farmers and RPA generally defended the ad. John Ingersoll, vp of advertising at the client, says the company consulted with a mathematician familiar with the "parabolic shooting of barnyard creatures" and stands by the drawing—saying there are many environmental variables that the critics aren't taking into account. (RPA creatives Pat Mendelson and Tom Hamling say they didn't want to clutter up the ad with all those variables.) Ingersoll adds with a laugh: "A very important point of clarification for the Wired article is that the animal with udders is a cow—pigs generally not having udders. I think it goes to the credibility of the entire process to have missed the type of creature." Oh, come on. Allain is a physicist, not some multi-brain supergenius who can tell barnyard animals apart just by looking at them. Anyway, Ingersoll is just happy the ad is having some sort of impact. "For an advertiser that probably for the first 80 years of our history has never had anyone notice any of our advertising, it's just great to be talked about," he says. See the full ad, and three others (with much easier math), after the jump. —with Tim Nudd UPDATE: Allain replies on Twitter:
