Each week, Motherboard turns back to examine its recent history.

  • We learned what happens if a condom packed with coke that’s lost somewhere in your large intestine happens to rip. In short, it’d be best if you were already arrested and in the emergency room when it happens.

  • Nike debuted a limited edition line of Marty McFly future-kicks for charity. We caught up with a buyer who dropped seven grand on a pair, and kinda seems like a sad excuse for a Back To the Future fan.

  • CERN announced some fairly batshit results that show neutrino particles traveling faster than light. If you never got around to A Brief History of Time or even the Wikipedia page on relativity, beating light just shouldn’t happen—ever—at any time or any place in the universe and it kinda makes everything WRONG.
