We're Baaaaack! You Know You Missed Us

You may have noticed yesterday that most of the internet was blacked out, including us, to protest SOPA and PIPA. Probably the best blackout page was this one by The Oatmeal. (The Oatmeal)

It seems that yesterday's blackouts either coincided with or caused 18 new senators to oppose SOPA and PIPA. (Business Insider)

I've never had Pinkberry, but I saw that commercial for some credit card that the owners did. Now I'll probably never have Pinkberry, pending the innocence or guilt of charges he beat someone with a tire iron over a tattoo. (Los Angeles Times)

Sweet Lord, the severed head, hands and feet of a possibly Armenian man were found near the Hollywood sign. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Have you read World War Z? It's a pretty amazing book that is soon to be a movie. A redditor has put together some screen caps of what it might look like if Z-Day really happened. (reddit)

I didn't watch The Golden Globes last night. Instead I watched X-Men: First Class and MST3K: The Deadly Bees. I regret nothing. Check out the night's winners! EFF YEAH, DINKLAGE! (Pajiba)

I've always thought that personalized license plates are fairly stupid. Either the plate tells me you're cocky or I can't decipher your intended message. These geeky license plates? Don't really change my mind. But enjoy! (mental floss)

Hot Links: I Love Ryan Gosling More Than You Do

Good afternoon, friends.  I could start off today's links by gushing over how incredibly crazetacular last night's episode of Revenge was, but instead I'll gush over my future husband (not yours), Ryan Gosling.  Look at him.  JUST LOOK AT HIM.

Sometimes, I can't even handle those eyes, which is why I'm ever so grateful to friend and commenter Katie for bringing this particular link to my attention today.  Read it and probably weep. (HelloGiggles)

I just stumbled upon this website, and to say I'm intrigued by its potential would be the understatement of the year.  Yeah, we're only four days in, but still...The emmereffing Storyverse???  Sign me up.  (Small Demons)

It's been a long time since I've had to take a test, but I remember blanking on my share of answers, especially on Calculus exams.  I wish I had been as creative as these fools.  (Voiceable)

Public nudity is perfectly legal in San Francisco, as demonstrated by this crowd of World Record-seeking naked Santas. Slightly NSFW. (BoingBoing)

The lovelies over at Go Fug Yourself have put together an "official" holiday gift guide. Feel free to send me anything on the list. I'm not picky. (Go Fug Yourself)

This is a few days old, but in case you haven't already heard, from a friend or on Facebook itself, you've got two Message Inboxes over on the ol' 'Book, and you miiiight want to open the other, nearly secret, one from time to time. (Slate)

Heading to New York City to take in a show and see the holiday displays? You might also be interested in peeking at a few of the Dead Sea Scrolls, now on display at Discovery Times Square. (The Economist)
