Are you trekkies ready for some HIGHlarious Vulcan-on-Vulcan action??

In a genius new promo by Audi, Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy are enjoying a friendly competitive game of chess when they decide to up the ante with a good old fashioned Spock-off!

Ok, so they actually decide to race to the golf course to decide who buys lunch, but the results are still pretty awesome!

Ch-ch-check out the amazing video (above)!

Star Trek Into Darkness comes out on top in the end in his brand new Audi (it IS an Audi commercial, after all), but Leonard gets the last laugh after giving Zach his patented Vulcan nerve pinch and leaving him face-down in the parking lot! LOLz!!!

We're not sure who the better Spock is, but we DO know that these two need to do more commercials together IMMEDIATELY!

What about U? Who do U think is the better Spock??

Did you know that there are literal gerbil shows?

They're just like dog shows or cat shows but with gerbils!!

The competition is in Bedford, Massachusetts and it features a pageant style competition, agility demonstrations and more.

The gerbils will be going through obstacle courses and racing around, trying to win ribbons!

Gerbil enthusiasts from around the country will come to compete, trying to show that their gerbil is the most talented, cutest little rodent around!

What a cute idea!!

Check out the video (above) to see some gerbils in action!

The Jackie Robinson movie 42 is getting some decent buzz and reviews, but we have a feeling it's because those people reviewing the movie weren't Jackie's former teammates and also have no idea how things actually went down! LOLz!

According to 88-year-old George 'Shotgun' Shuba, the story the movie tells behind the iconic photo of Jackie shaking hands with him isn't quite right. In fact, they just decided to rewrite history altogether and CUT him from the scene!!

Here's what George says:

Orb!!

Orb the horse won the 139th kentucky derby on Saturday!

It was a cloudy, cool afternoon at Churchill Downs when the "fastest two minutes in sports" was run.

Orb, lead by jockey Joel Rosario, ran the one and a quarter mile track in 2:02.89.

Storm Cat was a famous thoroughbred stallion who made over half a million dollars in career earnings!!

During his racing career he captured the Young American Stakes and finished second in the 1985 Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

He retired from racing in 1987 and went on to sire eight champion horses and 108 graded stakes winners! His offspring have earned over $127 million!!

He spent his retirement relaxing at Overbrook Farm in Lexington, Kentucky.

Sadly, Storm Cat was euthanized due to complications from the infirmities of old age.

It's a good thing Prince Harry is just presenting at the 2013 London Marathon instead of competing — he looks EXHAUSTED!

You know, because he's been running through our minds allllllll niiiiiiight! LOLz!

We're excited about this! The marathon could use a little ginger, as ginger is delicious and Prince Harry is one of our favorite flavors! He's an official patron of the London Marathon Charitable Trust, so he'll be lending a royal hand to this year's much-anticipated Virgin London Marathon!

He accepted a three-year commitment to the cause, so he'll also be presenting awards to the winners of each race: wheelchair/IPC athletics, mini marathon, and elite men and women!

Sounds like reason enough to enter! Ha!

Have fun, Prince Harry! And good luck to everyone competing!!

If you've ever wanted to capture the look of happiness, fitness, and friendship, THIS photo (above) is the best you could get!!

James Marsden, Josh Hopkins, and Geoff Stults love competing together, so they signed up for the 2013 Nautica South Beach Triathlon — which they did for charity! Along for the ride was Suburgatory's Parker Young, too — but he's not normally part of their group!

Guess what? They placed NINTH out of ninety-eight teams! How rad!

Congrats, guys! What an accomplishment!
