| Everything You Never Knew About The Last Starfighter Posted: 13 Jul 2014 04:00 AM PDT The Last Starfighter was the story of a guy who escaped trailer park life by becoming really good at an arcade game- his epic high score got the attention of aliens who were in need of a hero, and a generation of kids who grew up loving video games were officially hooked by this dream come true premise. When The Last Starfighter came out in 1984 arcade obsessed kids just couldn't get enough, but most of us knew very little about the movie except for what we saw on the screen, and the fact that Atari promised us a Last Starfighter arcade game but never delivered. Now that io9 has revealed Everything You Never Knew About The Making of Last Starfighter it's time to dust off the VCR and rewatch this fun 80s flick, if only to remind ourselves why we were so obsessed with it as kids!  | ||||||||
| Dad Fighting Cancer Makes Awesome "Eye of the Tiger" Music Video Posted: 13 Jul 2014 02:00 AM PDT Darren Mullery, 39, of Ireland learned that he has pancreatic cancer while his wife, Danielle, was pregnant with their daughter. Now Darren is a father, so he's got a lot to live for. But it's unlikely that he will survive. So Darren is focusing on what he can do for his family, especially baby Noelle. He made this music video to show her after he dies how hard he fought and took his cancer in good humor. It builds slowly, turning into a funny and inspiring day-in-the-life story using music from "Eye of the Tiger" by the band Survivor. Darren and his friends ham it up, demonstrating how a dad fights cancer because he loves his daughter. -via Huffington Post | ||||||||
| The Orange Side - Imprisoned For Using Force Posted: 13 Jul 2014 12:00 AM PDT The Orange Side by Laughing Devil When Darth agreed to star on that show about the orange side being the new black, he had no idea filming it would involve being incarcerated in a space prison for three seasons and a colorful change of wardrobe. Still, he really needed the credits, since his long lost offspring keep popping up out of nowhere, and since he was currently at war with his former friends on the council locked up was the safest place to be. Take your geeky wardrobe directly to jail with this The Orange Side t-shirt by Laughing Devil, featuring a unique mashup sure to make sci-fi fans smile! Visit Laughing Devil's Facebook fan page, then head on over to their NeatoShop for more wickedly fun designs:

| The Great Tapestry of Scotland Posted: 13 Jul 2014 12:00 AM PDT In the same vein as the Bayeux Tapestry, a group of over a thousand Scottish stitchers have embroidered the history of Scotland on 160 panels, making The Great Tapestry of Scotland the longest such embroidery in the world.

| This Is What a Flock of Hummingbirds Looks Like Posted: 12 Jul 2014 11:00 PM PDT YouTube user Ivan Paras calls it an "infestation" and writes that "I think I have a hummingbird problem." Watch an ever increasing number of hummingbirds visit his two nectar feeders. One of those feeders rests in his hand, but the hummingbirds show no fear. What would be a good title for a hummingbird-themed horror movie? -via Twisted Sifter | ||||||||
| Color The World Cubicle Gray With The Executive Coloring Book Posted: 12 Jul 2014 10:00 PM PDT The executive lifestyle is not generally thought of as a colorful lifestyle, in fact, uniformity and a lack of color are encouraged in the office, at least in terms of dress code: That’s what makes The Executive Coloring Book so special- color adders get to add a bit of color to the world of gray suits and navy blue power ties, and maybe learn a thing or two about the briefcase luggers who lord over the cubicle crowd: This wonderful coloring book/satirical piece of social commentary was created by Marcie Hans, Dennis Altman, and Martin A. Cohen, three revolutionary folks who appreciate how important coloring books are to people with too much time on their hands. Their color-able commentary on corporate life came out way back in 1961, when corporations had yet to become people and post-war Americans were learning how to maintain the status quo, and yet it's somehow just as relatable today as when it came out over fifty years ago. -Via Dangerous Minds | ||||||||
| Posted: 12 Jul 2014 09:00 PM PDT This fox was found malnourished and minus his tail at age four weeks. The vets who treated him dubbed him "Forrest Stump." Wildlife ranger Gary Zammit, employed by Feadon Farm Wildlife Centre at Gwel an Mor in Cornwall, England, was known in the area for his conservation work and his appreciation for foxes. Tipped off about Forrest, Zammit gave him a home at the wildlife center. "It really was love at first sight with them both. Barney is so gentle with him and they play for hours and hours. They are exhausting to watch. I think they might be kindred spirits - even without tails to wag you can tell they are happiest when they are together!" To learn more about Forrest and see additional videos, visit the "Meet Forrest Stump" section of the Gwel an Mor website, as well as their Facebook page. Via Tastefully Offensive. | ||||||||
| Behind the Scenes of the First Superman Comic Book Posted: 12 Jul 2014 08:00 PM PDT When it was published in 1938, Action Comics #1 cost 10 cents. It was the first appearance of Superman. As a result, surviving copies can sell for more than a million dollars. Joe Shuster drew the now famous cover image. It shows Superman heroically lifting a wrecked car. Or we assume that he's being a hero. Have you actually read Action Comics #1? I haven't. Fortunatelly, artist Kerry Callen has a scanned an interior page to reveal what Superman is actually doing. -via Jalopnik P.S. Thanks to Callen's encyclopedic knowledge of comic book history, we also know that Batman is a hoarder. | ||||||||
| Gil Fulbright, Honest Politician Posted: 12 Jul 2014 07:00 PM PDT The nation is watching the crucial 2014 Senate race in Kentucky between Mitch McConnell and Alison Lundergan Grimes this fall. But look! Here comes a third candidate! Gil Fulbright is running his campaign on complete honesty, as you’ll see. He’s even got a campaign website. | ||||||||
| "Ma'am, There's a Lemur on Your Baby." Posted: 12 Jul 2014 06:00 PM PDT
All parents dread that, someday, they will hear those words spoken to them. For Angie Widener, that possibility became a reality when she visited the Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Kansas. There, animals roam a bit more freely than at conventional zoos. The park doesn't allow visitors to bring in strollers, so Widener brought her nine week-old daughter Finley in with her car seat. She and her other children were having a great time. Then a passerby noticed that Finley had made a new friend:

| Posted: 12 Jul 2014 05:00 PM PDT See that big black blob in the water? That’s not an oil slick -it’s a school of fish! Still, when a swimmer gets close to them, it looks like a drop of dishwashing liquid in greasy water as the fish try to avoid a potential predator. These are anchovies, the dreaded pizza topping. I hear they don’t smell nearly as nasty when they’re alive. When the massive school showed up at Scripps Pier in San Diego, Scripps Oceanography Institute sent graduate students Julia Fiedler, Sean Crosby, and Bonnie Ludka out get it on video. Scientists at the institute say they haven’t seen such a school in at least 30 years. Look closely, and you’ll see a leopard shark or two swimming along with the students. -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| 10 Absurdly Fantastic Looping Portraits by Romain Laurent Posted: 12 Jul 2014 04:00 PM PDT
Now THIS is what animated GIFs are made for! New York City-based photographer Romain Laurent started to create looping portraits as a personal challenge late last year. "As far as the intention of the series, it's a way for me to explore a hybrid medium, experiment and being spontaneous while sticking to a short weekly deadline," Laurent told Colossal, "There isn't a common concept between each loop, I just 'go with the flow' and see what comes to my mind each week."

| Man Takes His Left Foot on a Farewell Tour before Amputation Posted: 12 Jul 2014 03:00 PM PDT Joseph Pleban of Fredericksburg, Virginia learned that doctors would have to amputate his left foot because of a rare bone and joint disease called pigmented villonodular synovitis. This affliction caused tumors to form on the connective tissue of his joints. Doctors informed Pleban that the only way to stop the spread would be to amputate his lower leg. Pleban is an athletic person who engages in snowboarding, wakeboarding, and rugby. The loss of a leg can be a heavy blow to an athlete. But Pleban decided to have fun with his looming amputation. He took his left leg on a "farewell tour" and photographed it on adventures. His sister documented these events on a Facebook page called The Last Adventures of Joe's Left Foot. Pleban goofed around, pretending that he would find a cheaper way to get rid of his foot. He also got a tattoo that could be helpful to surgeons. Pleban's amputation is now complete. He's back at home with his family, resting and recovering from surgery. He also appeared on reddit, inviting people to ask him questions about his foot and its adventures. -via Dave Barry | ||||||||
| Terror - The Kaiju King Is All Out Of Bubblegum... Posted: 12 Jul 2014 02:00 PM PDT The Beast from the East has an appetite for destruction and a knack for spreading terror wherever he goes, and even his fellow kaiju tremble when they hear his scream and see his giant green form stomping towards them. He's the god of giant monsters, a Japanese native and the last guy you'd want to see while on vacation! Bring some big time kaiju flavor to your geeky wardrobe with this Terror t-shirt by daletheskater, it's a great way to show your love for classic movie monsters from the East.

| The Paranoid That Destroyed the Noid Posted: 12 Jul 2014 02:00 PM PDT Do you recall the Domino’s Pizza mascot, the Noid? Their catchphrase was “Avoid the Noid,” the gremlin that made bad things happen to pizza. Domino’s used the Noid in advertising from 1979 to 1989, which I remember well, but I don’t recall that one incident that spelled the demise of the character. See, there was a fellow in Atlanta named Kenneth Lamar Noid, and he was convinced that Domino’s was making fun of him with the Noid character. On January 30, 1989, he took matters into his own hands, which did not work out well for Domino’s. Read the entire story at Pricenomics. | ||||||||
| Posted: 12 Jul 2014 01:00 PM PDT Magic wands--how do they work? Harry's a juggalo, not a muggalo, despite what this fantastic tattoo by daveycxc suggests. Even Insane Clown Posse endorses the makeup. -via BuzzFeed P.S. Did you hear that J.K. Rowling just published a new Harry Potter short story? You can read it here. | ||||||||

| Posted: 12 Jul 2014 11:00 AM PDT Fantasy characters gathered on Facebook to tell the story of their people. And it shall continue. When George Takei posted this, it was followed by a slew of image macros in the comments that are quite funny. | ||||||||
| Ten Reasons Not to Trust Your Memory Posted: 12 Jul 2014 10:00 AM PDT Have you ever read an interesting story, noticed an attractive design or heard about a brilliant concept for a new invention and then later "originated" it, mentally patting yourself on the back for your bright idea? It happens to the best of us. George Harrison, former Beatle, for example. Whether or not you need one more reason not to trust your memory, here are ten! You can thank me later, and if I can remember to, I'll pass your thanks on to Alltime10s. | ||||||||
| This Tarantula Is Actually a Woman in Body Paint Posted: 12 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT It looks like a tarantula, but what you're actually seeing is a contortionist covered in body paint. She's bent over backwards in a bridge position. You can see her move like a spider in this video. Isn't that amazing? This is the work of Emma Fay, a body painting artist in the UK. She recently hired two contortionists to serve as models. Lowri Thomas spent 5 hours undergoing this makeup transformation. Jonathan Macauley photographed it. You can see more photos of their work here, including these contortionists appearing as a giraffe and a seahorse. Content warning: artistic nudity. -via Fashionably Geek | ||||||||
| How to Rescue Ducklings from a Drain Pipe Posted: 12 Jul 2014 08:00 AM PDT Oh no! A baby duckling has fallen down a drain! It’s a narrow pipe, and he’s way down in there. Luckily, these folks figured out what to do. File this away for future reference, because you’ll never know when you might need to do the same. Meanwhile, get a drain cover for that hole -it can save both wildlife and your basement in case something falls in and plugs it up. -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||
| Illustrated Rules Of Etiquette For Everyday Life Situations Posted: 12 Jul 2014 07:00 AM PDT There is a lot of wisdom to be found in Christie Young’s simply wonderful series The Rules, which she creates for GOOD Magazine. The Brooklyn based illustrator has clearly lived a full, and occasionally a bit drawn out, life and thus has some pearls of knowing howness to share with the comic loving world: With everyday life situations constantly rearing their ugly heads, like being invited to the first backyard BBQ of the year, or when you go to a wedding and then nurse a hangover the next day, it’s good to know that Christie has simple, illustrated solutions readily available for our eyeballs to view. Christie may be young in age, at heart, and in last name, but her illustrated words are just as true as if they’d come out of the mouth/pencil of an old person. -Via Laughing Squid | ||||||||
| How Godzilla Should Have Ended Posted: 12 Jul 2014 06:00 AM PDT The folks at How It Should Have Ended are back and ready to take on a 50-ton monster! I don’t want to give away too much of what’s going to happen here, but Superman shows up. It would have been better with Batman, but it’s still delightfully goofy. If you haven’t seen the latest Godzilla film, this does contain spoilers. I haven’t, and now I don’t feel the need to. -via Gamma Squad |
