| Posted: 12 Jun 2014 04:00 AM PDT It’s doubtful that samurai warriors from Feudal Japan would have been big fans of the beloved sport of soccer/futbol/football, preferring combat sports like MMA or a sport that involve a weapon like baseball, but if a samurai time travelled from back in the day to present day he might find it quite relaxing to kick the ball around. The guy featured in this video isn't a real time travelling samurai, he's Red Bull athlete/freestyle football world champion Kotaro Tokuda, and he was sent to Brazil by Japanese noodle company Nissin to wow the natives with his freestyle football skills, which he showed off while wearing samurai armor. At least he won't have to worry about taking a football to the face! -Via Kotaku  | ||||||||

| The Ten Most Insanely Cursed Movie Productions Posted: 12 Jun 2014 12:00 AM PDT Things go wrong on every movie set, because feature film production is incredibly complicated. Still, some movies stand heads and shoulders above the rest in bad luck. One movie lost four prospective leading men to death -and was never made. Horror films are more likely have spooky things going on, but could that be because everyone’s scared anyway? And then there The Passion of the Christ.
That’s just one of ten stories of cursed movie productions you’ll find at The Chive. | ||||||||
| This Hayao Miyazaki Music Video Is Like A Seven Minute Long Mini Movie Posted: 11 Jun 2014 11:00 PM PDT About twenty years ago prolific anime creator/writer/director Hayao Miyazaki took a short break while working on Princess Mononoke to overcome a case of writer’s block, and in the process he created an animated music video that’s every bit as good as his feature length films. The animated short was created for the Chage & Aska song “On Your Mark”, and it clocks in at an epic seven minutes in length, plenty of time for the anime master to tell a mighty fine tale about an angel and life underground. -Via Nerd Approved | ||||||||

"From our line of sight on the earth's surface, it’s impossible to fully appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the things we’ve constructed, the sheer complexity of the systems we’ve developed, or the devastating impact that we’ve had on our planet. We believe that beholding these forces as they shape our Earth is necessary to make progress in understanding who we are as a species, and what is needed to sustain a safe and healthy planet.

| Why You Should Switch To A Fetal Position Desk At Work Posted: 11 Jun 2014 09:00 PM PDT Sitting in an office chair all day can make you feel like a lazy bag of bones, and standing desks go against everything office workers are all about, so what is the proper position for watching your life fade away at a dead end office job? The answer is, naturally, the fetal position desk- the safe, comfortable and soothing way to bide your time, and get your mind numbing work done, without doing too much muscling. Experts agree that having a fetal position desk won't improve your work quality, or make your day go by any faster, but it will definitely make you feel like a kid again. With a fetal position desk you can bask in the nostalgiac glory of remembrance, letting your mind drift back to a time before you gave up your freedom to become an office drone. It's free advice, not very good advice but well worth the price, and it's brought to you by the career minded folks at The Onion. | ||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jun 2014 08:00 PM PDT Grumpy Cat will star in a movie to be made for Lifetime. The title is Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever. What? You expected Grumpy Cat to have a wonderful Christmas?

| Rescued Bear Cub Learns to Enjoy Life Posted: 11 Jun 2014 07:00 PM PDT In China and Vietnam, more than 10,000 bears are suffering a horrible existence in establishments known as bile farms. These places regularly — and painfully — extract bile from the animals, which is used as an ingredient in traditional medicinal mixtures. The bile extraction causes severe infections in the bears, who are often kept in cages so small they are unable to turn around or stand. Many are caged as cubs, never knowing a life other than in these cruel circumstances, which persist despite effective medicinal alternatives. "Bears may be kept caged like this for up to 30 years. Most farmed bears are starved, dehydrated and suffer from multiple diseases and malignant tumours that ultimately kill them." Smudge the moon bear cub is a happy exception to the dismal story of bile farming. The cub was rescued from a Nanning, China bile farm by Animals Asia's Piece by Peace initiative. Animals Asia converted the farm that had possession of Smudge and other moon bears into a bear sanctuary and education center. To assist in the effort to end bile farming, visit Animals Asia's website. Via Laughing Squid. | ||||||||

| How To Keep Your Pets Safe From Coyotes Posted: 11 Jun 2014 06:00 PM PDT Coyotes are a constant presence in our lives, and now live in every state but Hawaii- some consider them unwanted visitors and pests that should be eradicated, others of us simply learn to live with our canine neighbors knowing that learning to live alongside coyotes is a better way to preserve the delicate ecological balance. However, the ever hungry coyotes won’t think twice about eating our beloved pets, and if we’re going to live with them we have to keep our team safe from those moonlight predators, but with a little bit of knowledge and some preventative measures, like installing taller fences and getting rid of that old bird bath in your backyard, coyotes will steer clear of your house and move on to easier hunting grounds.

| Posted: 11 Jun 2014 05:00 PM PDT What happens when Pete Holmes introduces Mortal Kombat "finishes" to the laws of physics? Hint: they aren't so mortal. In fact, with enough chiropractic adjustments, they might just render the enemy IMmortal. Don't forget to bend your knees and engage the core! Via Laughing Squid. | ||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jun 2014 04:00 PM PDT Okay, do you have a better idea? What books would you include as instructions for building a civilization? Maybe you could contribute your ideas to the Long Now Foundation. Randall Munroe posted this at his webcomic xkcd. | ||||||||
| Wicked Sword Fight Erupts At Golden Temple Posted: 11 Jun 2014 03:00 PM PDT Every once in a while a violent melee breaks out at a public event, but rarely does that violence involve groups of angry men armed with swords! A good old fashioned sword fight broke out between two rival Sikh groups at the Golden Temple in Punjab, India on the anniversary of Operation Blue Star, and even though this sounds really cool on paper it looks way less impressive in real life. If only the sword wielding Sikhs in the video had taken a few notes from Bollywood actors they could have come into the situation with some swordplay skills, but ultimately they come off looking less like Aladdin and more like one of the Three Stooges. -Via Geekologie | ||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jun 2014 02:00 PM PDT You think your jeans are old? Two pairs of pants were recovered from the mummies of men who died 3,300 years ago in the Xinjiang region of China. They are made of animal fur and are the oldest yet discovered pants with a complete crotch. They don’t look all that different from modern pants, according to Lu Enguo of the Institute of Archaeology in Xinjiang.
Scientists hope to repair and preserve the trousers. The previous oldest pants with a complete crotch was 2,800 years old. -via Arbroath | ||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jun 2014 01:00 PM PDT The latest video offering from ASAP Science asks viewers "Can you trust your ears?" The video provides examples of illusions such as the McGurk effect, which occurs when visual cues alter and "trick" the brain's processing of auditory input, leading to misconceptions about what was heard. The Tritone Paradox and the Shepard Tone Illusions are other auditory phenomena discussed. Watch the video and test your ears to see how trustworthy they are. | ||||||||
| Woody Allen - Writer, Director, Comic Strip Character? Posted: 11 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT Writer/director Woody Allen has gone from unknown comic to film industry innovator to oddball tabloid target in his lifetime, and ever since the days of Sleeper and Annie Hall Woody has been seen as an odd duck. Caricatures of Woody have shown up in cartoons, comedy movies and television shows, and once upon a time Woody was the star of his own comic strip called Inside Woody Allen. The strip was drawn by Stuart Hample and ran in daily newspapers from 1976 to 1984, exploring every possible situation an “angsty, neurotic Jewish everyman” could encounter in his life, except for the strange turn of events that actually took place in his later life!

| Posted: 11 Jun 2014 11:00 AM PDT Richard Dunn of Canton, Georgia, found himself stuck at McCarren airport in Las Vegas overnight after he accepted a voucher for being bumped off his normal flight. Instead of heading back to town for the night, he stayed to wait for his new 6AM flight. Inspired by the empty airport, he passed the time by making a video. According to this interview, Dunn MacGyvered a tripod with tape and a ruler to shoot some scenes, and used a wheelchair and the moving sidewalk to create more movement. The video was shot with his iPhone while he listened to the song on his iPad. Dunn grew up in Moncton, New Brunswick, and is a Celine Dion fan. -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||

See this guy on the motorcycle? That’s stunt rider Cody Elkins at the Cameron Air Show in Cameron, Missouri, this past weekend. See the plane he’s jumping over? That’s not a prop. That biplane was piloted by Skip Stewart. Watch the stunt in slow motion. Notice Elkins added a twist to a jump that didn’t need anything else to impress us. Don’t try this at home -these guys are professionals. Duh. You can see additional views of the stunt at Buzzfeed. | ||||||||
