The State News presents five things going on in the world of pop culture that just might make your life a little bit better.

1. www.orisinal.com, a site full of games, featuring ones where you whack crabs with yo-yos and, depending on your opinion of them, help squirrels jump between window ledges - or swan dive off them.

2. "Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini," by Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D. This book answers all those questions you'd only ask if you were wasted - such as, "Why does asparagus make my pee smell?" A fun and sometimes uncomfortable read that will leave you feeling like you've learned more than that entire semester in organic chemistry. $11.65 at Barnes & Noble, 333 E. Grand River Ave.

3. "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas - yet another sexually charged and obnoxiously catchy nonsensical song dominating stereos everywhere. There's more unnecessary designer label name dropping than a Gwen Stefani song, but it's got a hot beat with words you can ignore. Plus, you'll need any excuse not to listen to Ashlee Simpson's new song.

4. "Everybody Hates Chris," series premiere at 8 p.m. Thursday on UPN. Adolescent awkwardness mixed with Chris Rock's funny narrative make for a promising comedy.

5. Try the cusabi beef wrap, $7.25, Harrison Roadhouse, 720 Michigan Ave. A sun-dried tomato basil tortilla wraps up roast beef with veggies and a spicy, lip-smacking cucumber wasabi sauce for a unique flavor rare in East Lansing.
