Christmas is coming: The digital story of the nativity (told with Facebook, Goggle and assorted social media)

iSomethingorother: It's incredible what technology offers... "Embarrassed by the unpleasant yet inevitable noises when using public restrooms? Toilet Flush Simulator comes to your rescue! This app allows you to play a flushing sound to cover up the noises and spare you and those within earshot this awkward discomfort."

Art: Artist Allan Teger uses the human body as his landscape and miniature toys to set the scene. (Buttocks and belly buttons are popular!)

Picture this: An awesome series of images featuring weapons made from harmless materials.

Funny: Sometimes all you crave is an apology; to hear your name, maybe in a song... to move on, put things behind you. Now that is possible ladies...

Video: A bear...er, waving.
