Jul 12, 11:20PM
This guy put together a medley with what he thinks are the 100 bass lines that every bass player should know. I think that a few should be forever banned and some great ones are missing, but most of them are a spot-on selection. In any case, kudos for his nonstop 13-minute performance.

Last week, The Washington Post published the results of a huge investigation into NSA records leaked by Edward Snowden.

Jul 12, 4:00PM
Navigating your way through clueless tourists, grabby TSA guards, and disinterested ticket counter clerks is only half the battle. Once you make it to your seat, you've still got an entire flight to endure.

Jul 12, 3:35AM
You would think that you could only do so much with golf trick shots but David Kalb, trick shot extraordinaire, takes it to another level.

This big black blob that recently appeared off the San Diego coast looks like the fallout from an oil spill, or an undersea plague coming to haunt humans and probably steal their souls.
