It’s amazing just how popular Twitter has become.  It’s such a big deal that even astronauts use it!  Not only are they using it, they’re also using the power of Twitter and Twitpic to beam images of the Earth back from space!  Just check out io9’s gallery of Tweeted space photographs from Astronaut Jose and […]

Three young cheetahs on the prowl manage to separate a young impala, a deer-like member of the antelope family, from the rest of the herd.  I’ve watched enough nature shows to know what happens next, and I imagine phototographer Michel Denis-Huot knew what was supposed to happen next, too.  That little impala is destined to […]

Who doesn’t love a good infographic?  I know I do.  Whenever possible, I like to consume my information in chart or graph form.  Not only is it easier to read and make instant comparison, sometimes it comes in pie chart form, and that makes me think of consuming delicious pie alongside my delicious information.  For […]

Some might call the subject of Kent Rogowski’s photography cute, but that’s before Kent has his way with them.  Kent’s photography book, Bears, contains a whole lot of pictures of stuffed teddy bears.  They’re a classic, even iconic, children’s plaything, so what better way to get some shock than to take a teddy bear and […]

It looks like some kind of futuristic travel pod, doesn’t it?  Well, it’s not.  Behind that aerodynamic shell is a simple Honda Wave Innova motorcycle that has been customized to get over 214 miles per gallon of fuel by velomobile designer Allert Jacobs.  Not only did his design make the vehicle more fuel conservative, it […]

Pizza Hut delivers to the Pyramids.  It might sound funny, but it’s actually true.  The image you see there isn’t Photoshopped.  Giza, Egypt, has grown so great that it now encroaches on the location of the Great Pyramids, and that view you see is from the Pizza Hut that’s basically across the street.  Apparently, the […]

It’s one of those fascinating experiments that will never happen.  What if the United States was composed of states of equal size?  Well, it’d look like the map above.  Go here to see it in full view.   That’s 50 US states, all of which are roughly 5,617,000 people in population.  That means they would […]

Like most guys his age, 24-year-old Ruslan Moukanov has a love of cars that doesn’t match up with his budget for purchasing them.  When he saw his first Rolls Royce Phantom, he was instantly smitten.  I can’t say I blame him; it’s a gorgeous piece of equipment with all the features money can buy.  However, […]

One of the things the old Soviet Union is famous for is their knock-offs of Western things.  From cars to blue jeans, the Soviet engineers stole the designs of pretty much everything the US put out, assuming they could get their hands on it, of course.  However, did the Soviets come up with a way […]

When Sultan Met He.  It’s like When Harry Met Sally, except they’re both men and there’s a huge height difference.  To celebrate the laungh of Guinness World Records Live, the world’s tallest man got to meet and take pictures with the world’s shortest man.  The world’s tallest man is 8′1 Sultan Kosen from Turkey; the […]

In the continuing drama between NBC and Conan O’Brien over the heart, soul, and yes, survival of the venerable Tonight Show, NBC officially made the offer to move Conan and Tonight to 12:05. Conan refused, and in the process released a public statement on the matter for the first time. Rather than making light of […]

So you just ordered a chocolate prawn curry for you and your girlfriend, and you’re in the mood to do a little fornicating.  Well, you dig out a piece of naan bread and prepare to take a bite and there you see it.  Jesus’s face looking up at you, as if to say, “Dude, lay […]

Tomorrow, we’re supposed to get our first real snow of the season.  Weathermen, in their accurate way, are saying we’re going to get anywhere from an inch or two to six inches.  All that matters is this snow is supposed to stick, which means that we’ll finally get to have our first snowmen of the […]

Jesus is turning up in the strangest places these days.  For some reason, people are seeing him everywhere.  I don’t just mean in Christmas decorations (where he’s gunning down Santa Claus) but on the bottoms of irons and, in the latest sighting of Christ, a woman’s bruise.  As a diabetic, Florida resident Mary Massa is […]

It’s the shining jewel of the Arabian Peninsula.  It started life as the Burj Dubai, but after a $25 billion dollar bailout from Abu Dhabi’s ruler, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, it is now the Burj Khalifa.  Either way, the tallest building in the world had an appropriately massive grand opening ceremony yesterday, complete with […]
