Although this amazing orchestral piece, performed by Ensemble ACJW, is a mere 4:30 long, it manages to include snippets of 43 different cartoon theme songs. Most are only around five seconds long, but the awesome part is that this video provides a few... visual clues to help you out. Good luck!
A French mathematics teacher is said to have devised a powerful technique for keeping classroom chatter to a minimum: Whenever his class gets too noisy, he simply writes a spoiler from Game of Thrones on the board. As in: "Oh, you haven't finished reading A Storm of Swords? LET ME TELL YOU EVERYONE WHO DIES."
Star Trek: The Next Generation had a huge legacy to live up to. Not just the thought-provoking storytelling of the original series — but also the amazing insane costumes. But TNG rose to the challenge. Here's our roundup of the most epic costumes in the Next Generation's first few seasons.

Question: What do you get when you mix a cappella, sock puppets, string theory and Queen? Answer: The geekiest (and astonishingly good, musically speaking) cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" EVAR. Easily the greatest physics-themed cover of the classic we've ever heard. Seriously. The thing's a masterpiece.

Pacific Rim had cool end titles, featuring some nifty robot imagery over a song where Rza raps the movie's entire plot. But the credits could have been even more awe-inspiring. Imaginary Forces, which designed the sequence, have shared some concept art for neat-looking end-titles that were rejected.

You've probably admired the work of award-winning artist Yuko Shimizu before — her art has adorned some covers of Vertigo Comics' The Unwritten as well as some great book covers and illustrations at Tor.com. But when you see a bunch of her gorgeous work all in one place, it's pretty mind-blowing.

Tomorrow, Commander Chris Hadfield bids farewell to the International Space Station, meaning we won't get our usual dose of his tweets and videos sent from space. But he's signing off with a little David Bowie.

If your favorite part of Tron: Legacy was the bar scene, then this insane pop song from Albanian star Aurela Gaçe is for you. Called Ca$h, the music vid is set in the Eurotrash Tron universe (watch and you'll see what I mean), and the sound is pure Italo Disco retro.

Check out this pretty hilarious fake trailer for George Lucas Strikes Back, a story about the original George, not the evil doppelganger Hollywood created to ruin the Star Wars legacy.
