There's a lot of cool merchandise out there in the Star Trek franchise, but some things I just don't get. These made-for-a-BAMF wetsuits are probably flying off the shelves though, so if you want yours I'd suggest ordering now before it's too late!

New Trend Alert: Silly Bandz
Move over Pokemon & Beanie Babies, a new trend is being banned in middle and elementary schools around the country: Silly Bandz. These brightly colored rubber bands come in various shapes and are perfect for bartering with on the playground. I don't claim to understand this trend, but as someone who collected quite a few pogs in her day, I give kudos to the children for latching onto something that actually has a practical use.

The Gates of Hell Just Opened in Guatemala
This image was posted by the Guatemalan government after a sinkhole suddenly appeared in the middle of a street intersection. Luckily no one was harmed, but my crackpot theory that the Guatemalan government is in bed with the devil has never been more steadfast. (Via Gizmodo). EDIT: Apparently this has happened before.

Clusterf*ck of Awesome: Optimum Triple Play Commercial
Okay, so I don't understand about 90% of what's going on here and that one guy in the background has questionably poor skills with a sword, but everyone else seems to be having so much fun that whatever they're selling, I'm buying. What? Oh, this isn't an ad for a tropical vacation cruise? Never mind then.
