Well, play stupid games, get stupid prizes. We're fans of any revenge story where the powers that be get theirs just for thinking they could swing their weight around. Check out this story for a sales dude getting back at his company.

There are some amazing things on the internet, if you have time to look for them. Well we have the time, and we found some absolute gems. There are two kinds of people on the internet: those who take the time to make others lives a little better by putting funny reviews on Amazon, and everyone else. I respect and bow down to these people - where do your weird ideas come from? Do you think of them before hand or are they spontaneous? I guess we'll never know. But one thing I do know is that these Amazon reviews are damn hilarious and you must stop whatever you're doing and read them now.

A clever fish has figured out that if it produces sounds in an oyster shell, the noises will carry over long distances, according to new research. The study, published in The Journal of Experimental Biology, is just the latest to show that fish are far from being silent. Many can produce sounds by vibrating their swimbladders and, like a fishy form of Morse Code, they can create different meanings based on the sounds.

The transformer in submitter onecardshortof52's Logitech speakers was humming, but they couldn't be fixed without destroying the shell. So, after taking them apart, splicing some wires, replacing the power source, and giving them some stylish new resonance chambers (paper coffee cups), onecard now has a functioning set of desktop speakers.

From submitter azgli: The speaker system at a friend's party was missing a proprietary 13-wire cable between the main unit and the speaker controller. This was my solution to the problem - 13 individual wires insulated with Scotch tape! More Scotch tape kept them from shorting when the sub started rattling things around.
