The Enigma Battleship Drinking Game—a classic Battleship game that makes you drink a shot of your favorite alcohol every time you take a hit—is the last thing I need now, while I'm back visiting friends in Madrid. And still, I want it so badly. It was designed by the genius of Mauricio (Tony) Harion, from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. A place that I hope to visit soon, just to play it this game with this man, ...

If the spacecraft launches on schedule at 12:51 p.m. Wednesday, it will hit the moon in the early morning hours of October 8 after an 86-day ...

Got a pile of old, scratched-up coasters that you don't really need anymore? You can repurpose them into a dock for your iPod, iPhone, or other audio player. The Geeky Gadgets blog walks you through the process of taking a stack of discs, a Dremel, some glue, and the USB cable for your iPod and turning them into a dock. The steps are simple, and if you already have the glue laying around it shouldn't ...

Heh. "Don't worry. You're so funny and smart and amazing, any girl but me would be lucky to date you. You'll find someone, I know it. And when you do, I'll be right by your side to suddenly become all flirty and affectionate with you in front of her, until she grows jealous and won't believe it when you say we're just friends. But when she dumps you, that's just what we'll be."
