| Posted: 17 Aug 2014 04:00 AM PDT Greenpeace was working on a video about coal mining on public lands, which features a time-lapse nature sequence. Filming such a sequence doesn’t always go smoothly, though. This one was photobombed by a marmot, who not only screwed up the possibility of converting the video to a time-lapse, but also got so friendly with the camera that it was knocked off balance! That’s a good marmot. -via Metafilter  | ||||||||

At the end of a long day, the topiary laid back and slept. I'm having trouble determining the origin of this bush, but I gather that it is located in Le Jardin de Plantes, a botanical garden in Paris. It may have been inspired by the work of the children's book illustrator Claude Ponti. -via Lustik | ||||||||
| 27 Photos That Show The Transformative Power Of Makeup Posted: 17 Aug 2014 12:00 AM PDT (Image Via Imgur) Using makeup seems like a ridiculous habit to some, a must before leaving the house to others, and although everyone can agree that Halloween/special effects style makeup is really cool looking, not everyone sees eye-to-eye on the idea of covering your true face with a bunch of cosmetics. (Image Via Dailymail) Makeup is a powerful tool for visually altering or enhancing facial features, and The San Francisco Globe's article 27 Photos That Demonstrate The Power Of Makeup clearly shows how makeup artists earn their artist title- by creating some rather incredible facial transformations. (Image Via Tina Yong) So, whether you think wearing makeup is fun and necessary, or a total waste of time and effort, these photos clearly demonstrate why so many people still wear makeup every day, and why some feel naked leaving home without it. | ||||||||
| Guide to the Alien Species of <i> Star Trek</i> Posted: 16 Aug 2014 11:00 PM PDT With all of the presentations in the Star Trek franchise, it can be a stretch for the more soft-core Trek fans to stay ahead of the game. Neil Cicierega comes to the rescue with this video guide to end Star Trek alien species confusion. Via The Presurfer. | ||||||||
| Drivers Claimed That They Didn't See the Giant Safety Cone Crossing the Street Posted: 16 Aug 2014 10:00 PM PDT
Police in Riverside County, California, would to remind drivers that they should stop when pedestrians are crossing the crosswalk. It's the law and an essential safety procedure. To illustrate the importance of this traffic law, one undercover officer dressed in a huge orange safety cone costume. They pulled over and ticketed drivers who drove through the crosswalk without stopping while the cone was crossing. Some of the drivers they cited claimed that they never saw the giant walking safety cone. This was not the first time that police performed a sting operation like this. The safety cone costume is, though, a new addition:

| Shark Cat Returns With Shark Baby Posted: 16 Aug 2014 09:00 PM PDT Max-Arthur, also known to his beloved Internet as Shark Cat, has had many adventures in his time. He pioneered Roomba surfing. He went Roomba riding in pursuit of a duck. He's been immortalized in Lego and even has his own theme song. I'm surprised Barbara Walters hasn't emerged from retirement to interview this feline legend. | ||||||||

| Eighteen Things You Probably Didn't Know About Poop Posted: 16 Aug 2014 06:00 PM PDT The “things you didn’t know about…” lists everyone loves to read have finally reached the bottom of the bowl, and now we’re exploring facts about that thing that everybody does, but nobody ever wants to talk about in public- poop. That’s right folks, this here’s a list of facts about that bodily function we all blush about, eighteen useful tidbits of information that may gross out some folks but are nevertheless really interesting and worth knowing about. Did you know that coprolites, aka fossilized feces, are considered the "next frontier of paleontology", or that bookstores make some people want to "adjourn to the study", and no one's really sure why?

| Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:00 PM PDT After 41 years, first-grade teacher Mrs. Flexer is retiring. That’s 41 years of little kids she’s influenced, and they love her. With the help of the production team behind Kid President, former students of all ages gathered to honor Mrs. Flexer with a surprise party. They gave testimonials of of how their teacher inspired them to future success. You can’t watch this without getting at least a little choked up. How many of us will be able to retire and see how many lives we’ve influenced for the better? -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| This Terrifying Worm Leaps at You out of the Ocean Floor Posted: 16 Aug 2014 02:00 PM PDT This is the Eunice aphroditois, a worm found in the depths of warm ocean waters across the world. It lives at depths of about 10 to 40 meters. The Eunice aphroditois burrows into the ocean floor, where it lies in wait for prey to swim by. Five antennas poke out from the anterior, sensing passing movement. When the worm detects prey--a fish or another worm--it leaps from its burrow, seizing the prey with sharp mandibles. Most of these worms are about 1 meter long, but they have been found as long as 3 meters. Although they can't consume an entire human body, they have been known to bite as people who stray too close.

| 20 Delightfully Weird Forms of Sushi Posted: 16 Aug 2014 01:00 PM PDT Good sushi prepared fresh by a skilled chef is a mouth-watering treat. Usually you're eating variations of fish, rice, and seaweed. But you're not limited to just those ingredients. For example, you can try these tiny sushi cheeseburgers. Or if you'd like something sweet for breakfast, then try Dan's waffle breakfast sushi rolls. They're made of pizzelles filled with strawberries, bananas, pineapple, and cream cheese. If it's St. Patrick's Day, then make Irish sushi. Joy of the food blog The Cooking of Joy (clever title) made hers with cabbage leaves wrapped around mashed potatoes and corned beef. These are just 3 meals from a list of 20 unusual takes on sushi rounded up at Rocket News 24. I'd like to try them all! | ||||||||

| Spiderscape - See The City Through The Eyes Of A Webhead Posted: 16 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT Sometimes swinging around the city can make life feel like a video game, or some kind of minimalist artwork where the whole world appears far flatter than it actually is, but it's all just a trick of the mind. What's the point of having a spider sense if you don't listen to it? Still, Spidey felt like there was something hanging over him, like he was living in the shadow of something greater, so he decided to patrol the city and clear his mind...

| Posted: 16 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT (Images Via Daniel Sorine) In the summer of 1974 a young photographer named Daniel Sorine was out shooting photos in Central Park, New York when he came across two rather compelling mimes. He began to snap away as the duo went about their mimey business, but it wasn't until 35 years later that Daniel realized he had captured images of a then unknown comedian named Robin Williams. Here's what Daniel has to say about that fateful shoot:
According to one commentor hundreds of people saw Robin and Todd perform that summer, because they used to do their act on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Avenue, and yet no one in attendance could have foreseen how iconic this comedian in clown white would become. -Via PetaPixel | ||||||||
| Twerking Isn't Appropriate For All Audiences Posted: 16 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT Twerking has gone from an obscure club dance to common knowledge, and while schools decide whether it should be allowed at dances, parents decide whether their kids should be allowed to twerk it up, and law enforcement officials decide whether twerking in public is actually a crime, this happened: It's a crying shame that such a perfect twerking performance was wasted on kids who can't appreciate the subtleties of the dance, but something tells me this group was booked by mistake... -Via The Soup | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT Do you recall a couple of years ago when Lee Hall proposed to Ashley Fragomeni by re-enacting a scene from Jurassic Park? It was very appropriate, as they are both paleontologists. They had a Jurassic Park-themed wedding, too! One of the wedding gifts they received was this custom illustration from their friend, artist Britt Sanders. See it full-size at Imgur. It looks just like them, doesn’t it? -via reddit | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Aug 2014 07:00 AM PDT Ah, Paris. A city so stunning, it really does live up to the hype. British photographer Paul Richardson shot the footage in this time-lapse video during a vacation to the city of light. It was his first visit to Paris, and like many visitors, he proceeded to fall in love. He writes, "I had never visited the city before, and was quickly struck with how beautiful it is. My aim was to capture the classic sights; ornate buildings and typical Parisian activities, and contrast that to the modern business side, towering glass glad skyscrapers and fast paced life. Lovely footage indeed. Via Laughing Squid. | ||||||||
