11 Things We Found on the Internet This Week

While being on the internet, you encounter everything ranging from funny, weird things to the strange and perplexing. And during our weekly voyages into the vast interweb, we stumble upon some really interesting things that get discarded from our Bits list.

So we decided to start a new series where we share random things we find on the internet every week!

For this weel, we found 11 cool, somewhat quirky things to share with you. If you liked them, don’t forget to let us know in the comments below. And if you find something that you want us to share in next week’s bit, shoot it at us on Twitter or in the comments below.

1) Blend, a Lebanese rock band that you should listen to!
