Happy Saturday, Trekkies.

In a new feature, 'Feat of the Week,' our pals over at the Universal Record Database (where everyone can set a world record) will be hand-selecting one awesome world record to highlight.

On Monday night, everyone's favorite ex-NBC employee makes his long-awaited return to late-night television. Banished from the boob tube for six months, Conan O'Brien has been whiling away the hours tending to his already omnipresent internet fanbase. From a 24-hour live Coco cam on YouTube to a series of videos in which he answers questions posted on his Facebook fan page, Mr. O'Brien's embrace of the web has become a key part of his lovable underdog image.

In an unpredicted development, Coco's internet shtick recently crossed over into URDB world record territory. On November 1, his pre-premiere episode of Conan, broadcast live on YouTube and known as Show Zero, broke the record for Shortest Late-Night Talk Show. The video, which featured a blink-and-you'll-miss-it interview with Jim Parsons, a one-chord performance by band Steel Train, and ridiculously unsubtle product placement, lasted two minutes and 52 seconds.

Satirical news forum Fark is hyping the DVD release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with a secret (well, not that secret) game that you can unlock by going to Fark and entering the famous Konami Code from '90s NES games (Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Enter). In the game, you challenge each of Ramona's seven evil exes -- the enemies from the movie -- to a trivia contest, and when you win, you get a hint about the code to unlock the next battle. All of the codes are pulled from classic video games, from Sonic the Hedgehog to DOOM.

Each battle focuses on a different trivia category. Our favorite is the first round, about memes (duh). You have to get three questions right in each battle to win, and three wrong answers lead to GAME OVER.

The questions are almost painfully easy for anyone who has enough pop-culture savvy to be into Scott Pilgrim (or read Urlesque, for that matter), but your prize for beating the game is entry into a sweepstakes to win Scott Pilgrim swag or a TotalFark account from Fark. The whole game was built in-house by Fark, who say they spent most of the ad income making the game.

Hey, it might not be much as a game, but it sure beats the crap out of most online advertising. Plus, who doesn't love secret codes?

Two multimedia platforms enter! Only one multimedia platform leaves! Flash and HTML5 are two competing ways of delivering web video and browser-based games, and they've been at war over the past year or so. It's time to settle this thing like adults: by playing Pong.

Flash vs. HTML5 Pong is a browser-based version of the classic ping-pong game, where one half of the board is rendered using Flash, and the other half is provided by HTML5. As you play the game and build up a long rally, you'll start to notice a difference in the two sides. The Flash part starts to lag and gets a bit clunky, while HTML5 keeps on chugging smoothly along.

I don't know enough about the underlying code to be sure whether this proves anything (hey, maybe the Flash part was just written poorly), but it does at least show that the awesome power of the latest web technologies can be used to render a video game from 1972.

Six Reddit users spent a night in a holding cell for trying to access Brooklyn's Illicit "Underbelly Project," an underground art gallery that's inaccessible apart from illegal entry into the bowels of New York City's subway system.

Here's an introduction to the project:

This contemporary time capsule features 100 works of street art by artists from all over the world. There is no Guggenheim Museum for a fugitive art form whose works are sprayed and pasted on public walls in the dead of night. Instead, all of a sudden, there's this: a renegade installation planted furtively under one of the busiest cities in the world.

And here's what happens if you get caught by the cops, as these poor Redditors found out:

Got arrested two nights ago for trying to enter...the sh*tty part is me and two of my friends didn't even get up to the actual platform. Three cops saw us,we were wearing keffiyehs around our faces because of all the dust, and started yelling " GET THE F*CK ON THE GROUND AND DON'T MOVE, THE FIRST PERSON TO MOVE GETS THEIR F*CKING HEADS BLOWN OFF." They take us to the station where all the cops proceed to mock us and call us Al-Quaida and then get sent to Brooklyn Central Holdings where I was questioned by some agency, presumably some type of Homeland Security type, to make sure that we were not a threat. Overall it was a sh*tty day. We got held for over 24 hours also, got out last night at 1am.

"Charlie Sheen is Too Damn High" is the joke in this video featuring former New York gubernatorial candidate Jimmy McMillan. Usually I hate it when these random microcelebrities are co-opted by comedy teams, but this guy is a born entertainer. Here he teams up with comedian Billy Eichner to talk about Charlie Sheen, which isn't that funny of a topic to me, but at one point Jimmy says, "I look like Col. Mustard" for no reason, which dinked it over the net for me. At this point I would watch a show that was just Jimmy McMillan talking about whatever.

Fark.com's Drew Curtis has amicably ended his beef with comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert over whether they discounted the role of the internet (and Reddit in particular) in creating last weekend's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. Curtis posted that he may have misread Colbert and Stewart's statements about the internet in their post-rally press conference, especially in light of a couple of things that happened on the Colbert Report and the Daily Show this week.

Stephen Colbert slipped a Reddit alien into his show, drawn on the back of the stack of notes he reads from during the news portion of the Report. To Drew (and most everyone on Reddit, too) that's a clear message of appreciation for Reddit. Meanwhile, Stewart interviewed Fox News's Chris Wallace, and Wallace asked Stewart whether he thought Fox had contributed to people's unrest and dissatisfaction with the American government. Stewart answered "It didn't hurt," in the same tone he used to say that the internet's support for the rally "didn't hurt." We all know how Stewart feels about Fox, so that casts his comments about the internet in a new and more positive light.

Although cooler heads have prevailed and this particular debate is over, Fark's Curtis is sticking by his larger point: that the mainstream media needs to get with the times and start attributing and giving credit when they use internet sources, the same way the best blogs diligently link back to the sites they quote.

One brave mom caused a huge online controversy earlier this week when she posted a picture of her 5-year-old son dressed as Daphne from "Scooby-Doo" for Halloween, along with a rant defending his costume choice against other parents who bullied her about it at the preschool Halloween party. In the post, titled "My Son Is Gay" (first line: "Or he's not. I don't care. He's my son), she wrote:

If you think that me allowing my son to be a female character for Halloween is somehow going to 'make' him gay then you are an idiot. Firstly, what a ridiculous concept. Secondly, if my son is gay, OK. I will love him no less. Thirdly, I am not worried that your son will grow up to be an actual ninja so back off.

The post received an outpouring of support from other parents who admired the blogger for sticking up for her kid. Unfortunately, there was also a major backlash from folks who were concerned that the photo of her son under the headline "My Son is Gay" could come back to haunt him, and that the mom was using her son to push some sort of agenda.

Sure she was, if protecting kids from being bullied over their (perceived) sexuality is an agenda. Whether her son turns out to be gay or not, he shouldn't be bullied, and I know a whole bunch of celebrities who will back that up.

And hey, can we all just agree that this kid looks absolutely adorable in his Daphne costume?

Our friends/former interview subjects at Next Media Animation have basically OWNED the internet this year. In capitalizing on Tiger Woods, J-Biebz, and Snooki with strange CGI "reimagining" of cultural phenomena, the Taiwanese antidote to CNN's talking heads has earned them millions upon millions in viewers.

Now, they've shifted their gears into new territory: American weather reports! And it's just like the format you're used to, if you were to imagine Al Roker dressed like a scantily clad Harajuku Girl in a discount Lady Gaga costume. And he wasn't Al Roker, but some hot Asian chick gyrating her hips, of which there are many, all of whom look the same (a sentiment that might literally shut down Jezebel's home page for a little while, just so the editors can catch their breath).

Let's meet some of NMA's weather girls, all of whom are definitely meteorologists (no they're not) (eat your heart out, Willard Scott!) (Is he alive?).

Screw it, this site is now officially a Sesame Street fansite. Urlesque! A blog about Sesame Street's "App for That" parody and Sesame Street's Old Spice parody and Sesame Street's hair song and Sesame Street's booby Katy Perry dance and Sesame Street's mustache skit with Jonah Hill.

And now, Sesame Street's Celebrity Lullaby with Elmo and Ricky Gervais. This is not the Elmo and Ricky Gervais video from last year. It's a new one where Ricky does his "awkwardly emphasizing that I'm a big deal" schtick and Elmo does his "small child" schtick, and it has a joke in it that even children could get.

Which at this point is a secondary consideration, right? Do kids still watch this stuff? Was Sesame Street this awesome for adults when I was a kid? Is there some hilarious sketch from '83 with Andy Kaufman and the Grouch?

Okay let's watch Ricky Gervais sing Elmo a bedtime song.
