Halloween is coming up, and we all know what that means: Christmas stuff starts showing up in stores any minute now.

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, aka the 'Mythbusters,' returned last week with an episode that finally put the JATO rocket car myth to bed. It's the culmination of 200 episodes of blowing things up, burning things down and generally showing the fun side of ridiculous scientific experiments.

Like everybody else, I hate moving. I did it a lot in my early twenties, but once my fiancee and I moved in together, that was it. We weren't moving until we bought a place, and that would be our last move ever.

We've previously shown you Tisha getting dressed and making a sandwich. Now she demonstrates how she goes through the drive-thru at McDonald's. Probably the most amusing part of the video is the fact that Tisha does this so often, the employees just treat it as a typical day on the job...

We've all had that problem of not knowing exactly where our mouse pointer is. So the Pointer Pointer recruits some people from the Internet to find it for you.

Anybody who's been to YouTube quickly becomes cynical about the future of the human race, particularly when you read the comments to... well... any video. But this PBS video argues that YouTube actually makes you smarter by lowering barriers to learning about literally any topic. And we have to admit, they've got a point. There are all sorts of educational videos on YouTube. Of course, there a
