…Science has created the ultimate Jell-O shot?

by Cory O'Brien

Jell-O Shots

Creating the ultimate Jell-O shot might not be the dream of every scientist, but for a few determined drunkards, the thought of a shot that doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled the amount of alcohol found in a typical Jell-O shot was too tempting to resist.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the highest possible concentration of alcohol attainable in a Jell-O shot, while still maintaining the structural integrity (i.e., the gelling properties) of the gelatin.

Through rigorous scientific testing, two dozen batches of Jell-O shots, and nearly five 1.75 liter bottles of vodka, they discovered that “too much is much, much more than we would have guessed”.

Read on to discover the secret behind the ultimate Jell-O shot:

…Pac-Txt introduces Pac-Man to Zork?

by Cory O'Brien

Pac-Txt

Pac-Txt is a text based version of Pac-Man that combines the yellow chomper with Zork.

In the author’s own words: “Wth?! Why would anyone invest the time and effort to build such a useless game?”

Well, I had just got back from a party where the concept of a Pac-Man + Zork hybrid came up as a joke. So, being 2am with a little alcohol in my system, I thought it’d be funny to code it up (as far as I could before collapsing). So, a couple hours later it was looking complete-ish (minus the ghosts’ AIs and graphic assets). The next morning [read: aftenoon] when I woke up, since I have an inability to realize sunk costs, I decided to throw some crappy AI in for the ghosts, put a few graphics on it (courtesy of FastIcon.com) and voila! A domain name purchase or two later, and here we go.

…Your drink is your personality?

So you’re at the bar, and you go to order a margarita. Ever stop and wonder what that drink is saying about your personality to those around you? According to one waiter, it says, “You’re fun, good in bed, and naughty with a sense of style. If you don’t have it with salt you’re a [...]
