A whopping 21 percent of Americans are "extremely or very confident" the Big Bang happened. 51 percent are not too confident or not at all confident the Big Bang happened. I just... no. NO. Quit it. SIT. Bad America. Science good. Don't make us call Neil again.

Some here at Gawker argue that Canadian Power Puff Girl Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' is the new perfect pop song. While I have listened to that song twelve times in a row today, I have to disagree: 'Bad Boy,' by K-pop boy group Big Bang, is even more perfect. It's so perfect it transcends language.

European scientists are still trying to destroy the Earth with the Large Hadron Collider Doomsday Machine, this time by creating a "mini Big Bang" that shot reactor temperatures up "a million times hotter" than the Sun's core. We're so screwed.
