I’ve tried to wrap my mind around the fanboys and geeks who spend hours recreating meticulous costumes and performing scenes from their favorite movies. I’ll admit I don’t get it. But I certainly appreciate when these guys go so far over the top that the cops have to be called in. That happened in the […]

Earlier this month, the New York Times published an article about the dangerous world of blogging after two men died–one from a heart attack and one from a massive coronary. Writer Matt Richtel chalked it up to stress from the demands of blogging. I am not at liberty to say whether or not I agree […]

Poor Oscar has every right to be a grouch. The cockatoo named Oscar has a disease which deforms its feathers. The deformity results in an irritation to the skin and the miserable bird plucks out its own plumage to find relief. The Humane Society of Broward County in Florida is home to the funky “chicken.” […]

Star Wars fans everywhere swooned and nearly fainted when they heard the news back in February that George Lucas was going to film a seventh installment in their beloved movie franchise. Not only that, but George promised the movie would be a lead-in to a series set to debut in the fall. I’m not sure, […]

Remember Tay Zonday, the aspiring singer-songwriter and keyboardist?  No?  Remember the YouTube video “Chocolate Rain,” the ridiculous song with the hypnotic keyboard riff in the background and lyrics that made no sense like, “Chocolate Rain, only in the past is what they say”?  Yeah, now we’re talkin’! Well, that’s written and performed by one Tay Zonday […]

I’ve been around enough Little Leaguers to know that most of them have big league dreams. They imagine they’re playing for the Red Sox or swinging a hot bat like A-Rod for the Yankees or Albert Pujols for the St. Louis Cardinals. Two teams of 10-year-old boys in Hermosa Beach, California, got a taste of […]

Here’s a quick video to blow your mind: an Asian archer shooting flawlessly. Normally that would sound sensational, and you’d probably call it a bluff. But this guys shoots through not only an apple, an egg, and a nut… but into the shaft of another arrow. He’s a real life Robin Hood! Watch the video […]

Just close, but not too close. They don’t actually want you to die. It would be bad for the economy. No, really. Mental Floss has published an article detailing the various ways New Zealanders go through near-death experiences–for fun. And it’s how they make their money! These recreational “assisted near-suicide” activities are all the rage […]

Is there anything more annoying than someone drumming a pencil on a desk top? I don’t think so. Instead of grating on the nerves of your nearest neighbor in class or at work with that old snare routine, there’s a better way to pass the time with a pen in your hand. It’s Pen Spinning […]

What if there was a housing project that used mountains of garbage to construct affordable homes? We’re talking broken glass shards for mirrors and wine corks used to pave a floor. This is what a guy in Texas has been doing with throw-away material that he recycles to build actual houses. In fact, 85% of […]

One minute, you’re in Russia drilling for oil or propane gas or whatever Russians might be drilling for.  The next minute, somebody throws a careless match and you’ve got yourself what is literally a big flaming hole in the ground.  Over 35 years later, that gas fire is still burning in what some folks are […]

Described as a cross between a skateboard and inline skates, I’m not sure if these things are really awesome or a death wish on wheels. The video below makes it looks easy. But at a price of $145 they better make you feel like Tony Hawk. If you wanted to grab a pair — you’ll […]

Who says you can’t teach an old cow new tricks. Actually, they’re not really sure what you can teach Radha, the self-milking cow, because this genetically superior bovine spurts milk every time she feeds! No pulling, and no tugging necessary. Don’t believe it? There’s some video after the jump. And yes, the cow is worshipped […]

I love a good stick ’em up movie. Bank robberies, heists, criminal masterminds… These elements are what make an exciting thief flick tick! David Chen via Cineleet compiled a list of awesome scenes from such movies definitely worth taking a glance at. From Dog Day Afternoon to Heat (shown below), he’s got a good collection […]

Warning: if you do not appreciate the value of free stuff, then this post is not for you. The genius crew behind Comedy Central’s hit animated series South Park have just launched a new website called South Park Studios.
