1. Fake Songwriter: Dead Only after his death, did the family of Paul Van Valkenburgh learn that he was not actually the writer of the 1960 hit, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini." Valkenburgh had apparently been misrepresenting himself for decades in a weird attempt to gain respect in the eyes of his acquaintances.

2. Airplants Epiphytes are strange plants that absorb everything they need to live from the air around them and do not need to be planted in the soil. They are supposed to be easy to keep and almost impossible to kill. They're being marketed as airplants.

3. Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam The Klingon Language Institute was formed to promote the usage of "the galaxy's fastest growing language." They also help to organize "qepHommey," gatherings of Klingon speakers for the study of Klingon at a local level,

1. Burt Sienna I don't love the western subject matter, but Don Marco does some incredibly detailed artwork using only crayons. I hope Crayola sponsors this guy.

2. Crossing Over. My Ass For those of you left that still believe John Edward can really speak to the dead. Conmen and carnies have been doing cold reading for decades. Edward isn't even as good as those guys were. He relies on pre-interviews and eavesdropping for his "readings." Not to mention the huge amount of editing that goes into producing one of his shows.

3. Prankster Alan Abel made a career out of screwing around with the media. Unlike Ashton Kutcher, Abel's pranks always seem to have an underlying social commentary. Little is known about the actual man. His daughter filmed a documentary about her father, but it seems to be getting little attention. Please show it near me.

4. Nerd Alert I'm a big enough nerd to actually want to try making a model of the Starship Enterprise using only a floppy disc. I'm not a big enough nerd to actually own a floppy disc, however.

5. Horse Breaks Leg of Ringo Starr's Wife Nothing here but a funny headline.
