In case you haven't been following along in the saga of Chatroulette's first musical prodigy, Merton, here's a quick summary of what you need to know:

1. He's a mysterious hoodied piano player, who sings you a totally improvised song if you happen to catch him on Chatroulette. He swears he's not Ben Folds.
2. He recorded himself singing songs to these random strangers and put them on YouTube.
3. Yesterday, YouTube made Merton take down all the videos due to "Terms Of Use" violations. But he edited the videos and today got one back on the internet!
4. Meanwhile, singer/songwriter/dorky piano guy Ben Folds put on a concert where he connected himself and his entire audience to Chatroulette and made two "Ode to Merton" videos where he basically took the guy's shtick and made random songs about the people he connected to.

You got all that? Good. Because it gets even weirder.

We've all had that problem: after a late night of partying, you wake up, go through your belongings (wallet: check, iPod: check, unused condoms that have been sitting in the back pocket of your jeans for the last 3 months: check) when you suddenly realize...your cellphone isn't anywhere. And you don't have a land line to call it from, because who has one of those anymore?

Luckily, the Internet has your back with a website designed to call your phone for you, provided you haven't lost your laptop as well during your night of debauchery. But is it safe?

Part Furby, part butterfly, one hundred percent adorable and outer worldly...this creature rules. We can't say we'd be surprised to find out that this kitschy pastel fur-bug isn't a living, breathing thing, but hey, we can dream, right? We can dream.

What do you do if you're a dating site known for being kinda heavy on the marriage-desperate workaholics? You make an ad to attract all the cute young artist types who are currently slutting it up on OkCupid.

Match.com presents this cute little impromptu duet by two adorkable characters who have watched the movie 'Once' a few times too many. SPOILER: She feels she is somewhat impulsive! Oh squee!

Oh look at you, all grown up. You've got teeth and everything now. When did that happen?

If I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me, I'd go out of my way to get people to say that to me. I'd also lobby the powers that be to raise the rate to at least a dime. A man's got to make a living.

Finally, I'd probably put together a time-lapse video like this documenting my teeth growing. A person can only answer the same question so many times. Let the video speak for itself.

Finally: a single-serving site that answers the only question that needs answering.

Curious?
