Everyone knows, if something’s trending on Twitter, it’s probably the most important thing ever and it demands that we stop everything we’re doing to read every last tweet branded with the corresponding hashtag. This week, those magnetic topics include the Grammys (hosted by professional Grammys host LL Cool J), the State of the Union address (or the two-and-a-half hours we spent trying to solve the mystery of Joe Biden’s sparkling demon eyes), the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (won by a huggable ball of fluff named Banana Joe), the never-ending Carnival Cruise from hell (but hey, they all get another free cruise!), Lady Gaga’s canceled tour (does she even have a new album out?), and of course, the Pope quitting Pope-hood (to do what? Doesn’t he already spend all day reading and praying?). Naturally, we were able to gauge our interest in these topics based on the level of funny being churned out by our favorite Twitter personalities.
