Here at the Big Bad Blog, we had thought we had grown overtired of humour site Cracked, and its endless (but decreasingly amusing) top-10, top-15, and top-20 lists of things that they just make up.

This week, they have pulled themselves back from the brink of complete-irrelevancy-to-the-Big-Bad-Blog by embracing the trifecta of superheroes, dating websites, and Science! To test claims of dating websites of being able to identify one’s ideal match, Cracked created mock profiles for Wolverine, Cyclops and Jean Grey, and set the sites to work in an attempt to resolve the love triangle.

The account gets extremely humorous when only Wolverine’s profile is flagged as possibly belonging to a fictional character, while those of Cyclops (and Jean Grey) are confirmed as being legitimate.

We’re changing the format of the coffee around this morning — for one morning only!

Why?

Because we can. And we have a video we want to share. People sing the word “fuck” a lot in the video, so if you’re at work, it would probably be best to turn the volume way up, so everybody knows how awesome you are.

Everybody knows about how awesome double rainbows are. But that Newton fellow tells us that there must be an equal and opposite reaction. This is sadly known as the double earthquake.

Note to people who forge their own death certificate to avoid a court case: learn to spell.

Dating site OkCupid has done research into what makes an attractive profile picture. In what must be a huge surprise, the results indicate that a decent camera and basic knowledge of photography make for better pictures.

I was watching the tennis last night, while surfing the Interwebs, and discovered this commentary:

What happens if we steal their rackets? If we steal their rackets, the zombies can no longer hit their aces and thump their backhands and keep us all prisoner on Court 18. I’m shocked that this is only occurring to me now. Will nobody run onto the court and steal their rackets? Are they all too scared of the zombies’ clutching claws and gore-stained teeth? Steal their rackets and we can all go home. Who’s with me? Steal their rackets and then run for the tube.

Planning on asking a woman on a date? It turns out that putting on some romantic music is actually a good idea.

Sometimes, one has to wonder how people find jobs such as doing scientific research on baby farts.

We get started today with The Bloggess, who reveals that Obama is made of meerkats.

It would appear that expiration dates are only for show. Maybe. The article appears to be concerned only with expiration dates in the United States … and not for all products. So ignore them at your own peril.

Another kind of dating gives us some interesting math: An inch of height is worth $30,000 a year in salary … for men in the dating pool (and the women who would date them).
