2. Apparently the Carnegie Mellon professor credited with the invention of emoticons, really hates himself some emoji. He says they’re ugly and lack creativity. To which emoji answered, ;-p [Gawker]

3. Big thanks to Brian Viehland from ArchitectBlog.org for sending us the link to this total traffic light win. [Cheezburger.com]

4. According to a new study, as gender equity rises, men are caring less about beauty in a potential partner and women less about wealth — which means Intelligence and Compatibility for the win! Yeah, baby! [Time]

5. A trailer for WUTHERING HEIGHTS, starring a black Heathcliff?!?! Oh yes, I will be watching this. [Jezebel]

6. They’re making a GNOMEO & JULIET sequel. Why is this happening to us??? What have we done to deserve this??? Oh, woe is me. [i09]

7. A creepy chair made up of eyeballs, because … well, why not? [LikeCool]

8. Why is it that when the rare film is made revolving around old women, there are always old men in it, but when a film is made revolving around old men — not so much?
