This band was started by actor Macaulay Culkin, who demonstrates a great sense of humor, while reviving, according to Salon, the greatest genre of music none of us know about – Pizza Rock! Read the full, very tongues-in-cheek, article here: The Seven Best Songs About Pizza Ever Recorded.

Ma Gina knows what’s up. Lucky for us, she scaled this recipe down from using 20 pounds of flour to a measly 5 pounds of flour.

Pizza Rat is a Piece of Performance Art

Over 11 million people rooted for this rat as it valiantly attempted to drag its dinner down to its lair. Some of those 11 million quickly criticized the poor creature for abandoning the slice with only one step to go!

First, Vox thought they explained it all with this article: Pizza Rat: New York City’s infamous rodent, explained

But! It turns out this little video was staged! This performance art piece was “organized around the idea that disrupting the mundane is a basic service to human existence,” just one piece of a puzzle with more to come, or so says the artist, Zardulu.
