Traffic was stopped in London during a celebration of National Cleavage Day.

Every year on April 1st, office water coolers are spiked with white wine and computer mouses are glued to desks. Every year on college campuses, half empty buckets of water are placed on the top of dorm room doors and passed out bros are covered with marker ink. And throughout the world, the sound of chuckling and cackling can be heard echoing across its borders.

The story of the world’s most famous soft drink goes that Dr. John Pemberton concocted the original mixture that would become the Coca-Cola beverage we all know over a fire in the backyard of his Atlanta home on March 29th, 1886. He envisioned it as a cure for a hangover.

It was only a couple days ago that we showed you a video of Batman cruising in his ‘Batmobile’ (but really a black Lamborghini) on I-95 in Silver Spring, Maryland.

That random number turned out to belong to a police detective, who obviously didn’t consider the message a joke.

Apple iPhone 4S users know that Siri, the voice-activated personal assistant, can be hit or miss. Sometimes she understands you perfectly and reacts with precision, and other times?
