The Hawaiian bobtail squid is basically an adorable underwater vampire. It sleeps all day buried in the sand, hunts at night (though not for blood) and, thanks to colonies of glowing bacteria that live inside it, it even kind of sparkles (Team Bobtail > Team Edward).

Movie trailers are mesmerizing, enchanting, and, yes, even addicting. Anyone who watched that first Gatsby trailer until their eyes bled (or fallen down an HD Trailer rabbit hole on IMDB) knows what exactly I'm talking about.

The Gum Leaf Skeletoniser moth has a pretty badass name. It also has a pretty badass caterpillar, in as much as caterpillars can be badass. As they grow, they hang on to parts of their body that they’ve shed and then continue to wear them in a big stack on top of their heads.

Jake Freivald runs westorange.info. The domain hosts a bare-bones website dedicated to providing basic information about West Orange, New Jersey. It's got a small map of New Jersey with West Orange pointed out. It also features a brief list of other local blogs and news sites. This page hardly qualifies as a functioning website.

Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas became the latest politician to put the proverbial ball on the proverbial tee for everyone with a WiFi connection during a recent discussion on abortion limitations. Everyone get your masturbating fetus jokes ready.

File this under "THE SCARIEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE, EVER" because it's a video of a massive snake opening a closed door.

John Mayer and his floppy Neil Young hat are back and they're getting ready to drop a new album called Paradise Valley. He's released a lyric video for the first single called "Paper Doll." Does that video prominently feature the Prancercise lady prancercising her heart out to the new single? Only hell yes.

Drake. Aubrey Graham. Drizzy. Ever, Greatest. Jimmy from Degrassi. Canada Dry (thanks, Common). That Guy from That Sprite Commercial. The man's known by a flurry of nicknames and enough aka's to make ODB sound like a normal moniker. Michael Paterniti recently had an opportunity to spend some time examining the man behind all of those names.
