Yoko Ono has been performing occaisonally in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. What is she performing? Your guess is as good as ours. Is it singing? Is it laughing? Is it crying? It IS crazy. Check out the video here.
Nate is forced to avoid two gigantic potholes on County Line Rd. on his way home from work every day. As you can see from these pictures, gigantic is a bit of an understatement.

Not everyone starts at the top. Before some currently HUGE stars became famous, they were scraping together a living in commercials.

Plus, do you know who the guy in the picture to the left is? Check out all the videos here.
Haunting, beautiful and ambient are not words one would usually use to describe Justin Beiber's work, but this is actually all of the above. Someone slowed down Justin Bieber's song "U Smile" 800% turning the 3 minute pop song into a 35 minute ethereal hymn. Presumably not how Def Jam executives would have wished the original recording to be delivered.
DO NOT OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY WHILE LISTENING TO THIS.

Out of 12 categories in the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Murphy only guessed 3 right! So, Nate pegged him with olive juice filled balloons for each one he got wrong.
