Like The Lonely Island's previous inspiring videos, "Do the Creep" may motivate people to start dancing like robotic marionettes on the dance floor or not.

When most people see mold on a piece of bread or leftover fruit, the first inclination is to throw it away unless you're Cornell University's Department of Plant Pathology. The lab decided to turn the dreaded fungi into works of art by photographing their growth as they enveloped the food that they were feeding on. The time-lapse slideshows display a wide range of processes, from nature's most beautiful such as a caterpillar constructing a silk tent to its most disturbing including one of a potato (complete with a fork and knife for effect) rotting as bacteria feed on the soft skin and insides. Some are amusing, like one of Homer Simpson donning a fungus toupee in the style of a Chia Pet. Others are simply mesmerizing, including a fungus that develops as clear reflective crystals. Most of the photos were taken in short intervals, usually three to 10 minutes, in a span of a few days by Kent Loeffler, who runs the scientific photo lab at Cornell. Kudos to him for braving the smell and sight of rotting food.

Imagine playing "Rock Band" with a group of friends in the middle of a New York City subway. Throw in some original music and you have the YouTube sensation "Take Me Out," a music video by Brooklyn band Atomic Tom. The four-man group has made music for about three years, but it only started making headlines in the past two weeks, and their story is charming. After their instruments were stolen, the band decided to improvise and gives a live performance on the B train using only their iPhones. Filmed with three phone cameras in one take, the video has received over 2 million hits since it was uploaded on Oct. 15. This was all, of course, a publicity stunt. Their instruments weren't really stolen and lead singer Luke White admitted to Billboard that the group had rehearsed for nearly a month. The work seems to have paid off "Take Me Out" jumped to number 86 on the iTunes singles chart and the band's debut album "The Moment" reached number 11. With their new success, the band may be able to buy some new instruments and maybe upgrade to a few iPads.
