The effort to cool Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant by dropping seawater from helicopters and repairing water pumps is not going well, and engineers suggested today that the entire site might need to be buried under sand and concrete, as was done at Chernobyl 25 years ago. A plant official told reporters today, "It is not impossible to encase the reactors in concrete. But our priority right now is to try and cool them down first."

If you are picture-shy—as Texas resident Johnathan Washburn is—you are advised not to assault people who photograph you—as Mr. Washburn did—because then the police are required by law to take a picture of you, and give it to anyone who asks. Which is why you are loooking at a picture of Mr. Johnathan Washburn, courtesy the Austin Statesman and the Austin Police Department. (Washburn allegedly grew angry with a fellow who took a photo of his "mohawk" and demanded that the photograph be erased; the situation escalated to the point where Washburn hit the guy with his skateboard. It's unclear whether or not the offending photograph survived the assault, but Washburn's mug shot more than makes up for it.) [Austin Statesman via The Daily What]

A new translation of the Bible has removed all instances of the word "booty." But that's not all! Several passages are retranslated using gender-neutral language. Some Christians, surprisingly, are not pleased.

A shocking—and sexxy—new study reveals: The vast majority of college-educated women didn't have lesbian sex in college, and same-sex experiences were most common among women without a high school diploma. Yes: Porn is lying to you.

Rebecca Black, star of the hugely popular and terrible "Friday" viral video, complained to The Daily Beast today about the mean things people are saying about her on the Internet: "Those hurtful comments really shocked me," she said. "At times, it feels like I'm being cyberbullied." And this was before 4chan launched "Operation Black Friday."

It's been a week since Japan was devastated by a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. And while we thought we'd seen the worst tsunami footage, this new video—of the wave destroying the port city of Miyako—is simply terrifying.

Police in Pennsylvania say they found "54 bags of heroin, 31 empty bags used to package heroin, 8.5 prescription pills and $51.22" inside the vagina of one Karin Mackaliunas, 27, of Scranton. If this seems to you like a rather unwise place to keep one's heroin (or one's change, for that matter), know that Ms. Mackaliunas seems to have realized the same thing after only a brief period of time; she allegedly hid her contraband while being transported to the police station after being arrested for drug possession, but by the time she arrived at headquarters, it seems she was reconsidering her path of action:

It seems every other week brings news of some, usually female, celebrity's Twitter or Facebook page being taken over by hackers. It's possible they were all perpetrated by the same individual(s). According to TMZ, 50 celebrities have been targeted by a "hacking ring," which has broken into their computers and cell phones and stolen embarrassing pictures and videos. Scarlett Johansson supposedly had a nude picture stolen from her iPhone and Vanessa Hudgens met with the FBI yesterday over her own leaked nudes, according to TMZ.

Do you remember your first word? I can't recall mine, though I do know that my little sister's was "Duck." For baby Ellie—the star of this video—however, her utterance is a bit more... ah, f*ck it, just watch.

Tonight, 30 Rock returned without Tracy Jordan, but with Sherri Shepherd as Jordan's wife, Angie, along with her very own Bravo reality show camera crew for Queen of Jordan. Nobody was safe from the spotlight! Here's the satirical opening. [Gawker.TV]

Above is a real coupon for the Florida-based computer company CP Distributors. Yep, that's pedobear—the cuddly meme that makes fun of pedophiles. CP, of course, is short-hand for "child porn." Haw haw, a funny prank by a graphic designer.

Remember those grueling days of high school when classes like Biology stretched on for eternity? For many, doodling was the only way to survive. (Notes on) Biology, by Ornana Films, is an awesome and creative throwback to those days.

On tonight's American Idol, we were again subjected to a cheesy group number. And while not nearly as intolerable as last week's Michael Jackson medley, this "Born to Be Wild"/"Born This Way" mashup left much to be desired.

On tonight's Factor, Bill O'Reilly welcomed controversial conservative talking head Ann Coulter on to discuss the nuclear crisis currently unfolding in Japan. For some reason, Coulter—pretty adamantly—wanted to let us know that radiation is good for us! [Gawker.TV]

Hannibal Buress thinks babies have it easy: "all they do is eat applesauce and take dumps!" But with such a carefree existence, why is it that babies spend most of their free time complaining about being tired?

First, there was the unforgettable original version. Then, there was the cool, laid back, arguably better-than-the-original cover. Now, Rebecca Black's "Friday"—the song that captivated the country for all the wrong reasons—has its ominously emotional cover. It's pretty good!

34-year-old Richard Leon Barton Jr. never got around to divorcing his first wife in Rhode Island. So when he married a second woman last July in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he probably should have not posted those pictures to Facebook! His first wife became suspicious when he defriended her, so she snooped around and found his "happy wedding photos with the Grand Rapids woman on the pages of Barton's friends and family," according to The Grand Rapids Press.

Today we had a few technical problems, meaning we didn't post for a few hours and nobody's comments worked. Great! And it didn't escape you commenters' notice.
