The Scanner: Mustache hats, bacon charts and Michael Scott
Oh sweet Internets, you'll never let us down. You're like the cow that never runs out of milk. Really, really bizarre, sometimes unfortunate, milk.
Uh...that means it's time for The Scanner!
Oh joy! A Bacon Flow Chart to help decide whether you want to eat bacon. (The answer, of course, is yes.)

OK, I get that you can dock your iPod to many things these days, but isn't an iPod refrigerator a bit much? [Hat tip: Springwise]
One of the top stories of the week? Social networking sites pass "porn" in top search rankings. Has America turned a corner?
Would you believe people are selling real-life "My Little Ponies?" Shudder. [Hat tip: Urlesque]
Sad news - especially for Videoport Jones. Amy Poehler is leaving "Saturday Night Live." This, and she's pregnant? Someone should check on Jonesy by the hour. [Hat tip: The Vulture]
BIZARRE CLIP OF THE WEEK: Someone in NYC captured what appears to be a man attempting to give the business to the front of a Toyota Forerunner. Not for the faint of heart. [Hat tip: Best Week Ever.]
BEST CLIP OF THE WEEK: Someone went through the trouble of compiling every single "That's What She Said" joke from "The Office." And it is glorious.

If anyone can tell me what the secret device does please let me know. Let's hope you don't destroy the world in the process.

Yeah, I know by baby Amy's knocked up AND that's she's leaving SNL, but I'll be okay. I lost her to the undeniably funny Will Arnett years ago. I've come to grips with it. And now, with this baby business, it seems like that whole marriage thing is gonna stick, so more power to 'em (I guess). (We'll just see if the kid wears glasses and becomes a Red Sox fan...that's right Arnett...the cukold's horns for thee!). And, as for the SNL gig, I can understand. While I love SNL, quite frankly, she's made for bigger things (like the 'Office' spinoff she's gonna star in! That's right! Suck on that!). So, she (and I) will be okay.
