You are now experiencing “Dischord,” the April Fools’ Day release from mc chris and longtime producer Andrew Futral. The rapper, best known as MC Pee Pants from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, geeks out hard on this song all about My Little Ponies. The MLPs, you see, have their own cult following of bronies, or otherwise-gender-normative adult males who are totally into the animated series about cute, wide-eyed ponies with names like “Twilight Sparkle” and “Scootaloo.” chris has never shied away from geeking out about fandom - he also penned a pretty fantastic and pretty nerdy track called “Fett’s Vette,” which alleges that Boba Fett became a bounty hunter in order to finance his Corvette.

Click here to read chris’ brony fanboy lyrics, which are alarmingly well-researched.

Although the “straight outta Ponyville” emcee doesn’t want you to necessarily associate him with nerdcore, he is selling these nerdy things on eBay to help fight cystic fibrosis.

FYI, you can (and probably should) follow both mc chris and Andrew Futral on the Tumblr.

The Flying Dutchman (21st century version)

Dutch engineer Jarno Smeets always dreamed of flying, so he built himself a pair of 40-foot wings powered by Nintendo Wii controllers, an HTC Wildfire and brushless outrunner motors (the same things used to power remote-control planes). After eight months of research and testing, his invention worked. Watch this video of his first flight, March 18, 2012 in The Hague. Read the full story via Wired, and check out Smeets’ photos and blueprints here.
