A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Apparently there's an artist who goes around making bizarre, fake roadside attractions, including one that commemorates the Union's plan to use dinosaurs against the South in the Civil War. Awesome!

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Oops! The actual shipping version of the Android OS has a rather awkward bug: Anything you type on the keyboard, in any application, is simultaneously sent to a command line shell and executed as the root user. That means if you type "reboot," the phone will reboot. D'oh! Click through for the interim solution. We expect a patch of some sort......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.
