Massive Supply of Classic Atari Games to Be Excavated From Landfill
Legend has it that 30 years ago Atari buried a massive cache of video game cartridges in a landfill in New Mexico. Specifically, they buried tons and tons of copies of the failed 'E.T.' video game, an Atari non-classic that nearly sunk the gaming industry.

Funny Video Proves Siri Is a Real Jerk
Yet another reason we are more than happy to just google something -- Siri is a real jerk. This compilation of Vine videos from artist Ridd Sorensen might be a slight exaggeration, but we think he's got the gist of it right. There's something so condescending about her robot voice...
News Anchor Tries to Eat World’s Hottest Pie
You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia 'Today' on the air. He's back, and this time he's trying to eat the world's hottest pie.

Nightmare Restaurant From ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ Has Epic Facebook Meltdown
In all the years he's been doing 'Kitchen Nightmares' (in the US at least), Gordon Ramsey never quit on a client. Until he went to Amy's Baking Company in Arizona. Those people were horrible. Taking waitstaff tips, screaming, firing people -- they genuinely are the worst. Unfortunately, they didn't take learning that fact very well.

Groupon CEO Leaks Own Resignation Letter, References ‘Battletoads’
Andrew Mason, now-former-CEO of Groupon, resigned today. Well, actually, he was more fired, really. And he told everybody. How do we know? Because he also publicly released his own letter of not-resignation, because it was going to leak anyway. Here's what it said.
