This is great – some of you may remember the old videogame Paperboy. You bike down the street and throw newspapers at people’s porches while avoiding lots of random hurdles like runaway tires, dogs, kids playing with r/c cars, punk rockers, ninjas, mummies, skateboarders, the usual video game stuff.

Ricky Gervais was on Conan O’Brien shilling for Extras and had a great line. He was telling Conan about the inane questions he gets now that he’s well known. He talked about one of the stupidest questions:

“[I was asked] If you had to save three things if your house was on fire, what would they be? So I said… my cat…umm….my pet salamander…and three you say? Probably one of the twins.”

Feel free to run that one into the ground, Danger.
