Ned Ryerson… Creator of Bing.

Speaking of Bing, I will bet you dollars to doughnuts that this scene from Groundhog Day inspired the whole silly branding…

I wonder if they’re paying Stephen Tobolowsky royalties for his Needleheaded improvisation.

It All Comes Together…

I knew it. I just knew that the New York Knicks were part of a global conspiracy to hide the moon-based Illuminati-run space fighters from the eyes of truthseekers. You should probably sit down before viewing this…
