Tom Longboat Posted: 21 Jan 2015 04:00 AM PST Kate Beaton at Hark! A Vagrant has introduced me to another new historical figure. Born in 1886, Tom Longboat was an Onandagan from the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario. He was an outstanding athlete, winning, among many other races, the Boston Marathon in 1907. He collapsed during the Olympic marathon in 1908, then turned professional and was crowned the World Professional Champion. Longboat received many accolades during his career, but sports writers could never get past his identity as a Canadian Indian, and treated him an anomaly, calling him "obstinate" and “unmanageable,” and falling on racist tropes to describe him at every turn. Beaton has a half-dozen strips illustrating events in Longboat’s life, taken from an account in the book Canadian Folk: Portraits of Remarkable Lives, where you can read about Tom Longboat.

Why Do Zebras Have Stripes? Posted: 21 Jan 2015 03:00 AM PST (Photo: J. Todd Poling) What evolutionary advantage do stripes offer zebras? For a long time, scientists thought that the stripes served as a form of camouflage. Then scientists reasoned that the stripes help protect zebras from blood-sucking flies. Now researchers have published a different hypothesis in Royal Society Open Science. They think that the stripes help the zebras keep cool. Skunk Bear, NPR's science Tumblr blog, explains: Zebras in hotter regions have more defined stripes. Here’s a bit of logic that might explain the phenomenon: dark stripes heat up faster, white stripes heat up slower —> that creates areas of different temperature —> that creates little convection currents (remember how wind happens?) —> that helps the animals cool. -via It's Okay to Be Smart

Blood, Sweat and Teeth: Wild Nights with an NHL Dentist Posted: 21 Jan 2015 02:00 AM PST Mark Methot (Image credit: Flickr user 5of7) Something I never knew, or even thought about: hockey teams have their own dentists. Hockey arenas have dental chairs, ready for emergency work. And a dentist who takes the job is liable to see things he’d never see otherwise. No other sport has a job quite like a dentist in the NHL. In some games, these dentists simply sit and watch, usually using season tickets provided by the team, waiting for a problem that never happens. In other games, they leave those seats and jump right into medical emergencies the likes of which they would never see anywhere else. Some team dentists enjoy the game and turn back into dentists when they’re needed. Others watch with trepidation, always worrying about a pending dental disaster. One hit looks brutal and it’s nothing. Another hit looks like nothing, and it breaks a jaw. In the wild nights of NHL dentists, nobody ever knows what’s coming next. Bleacher Report talked to several NHL dentists about their jobs and some of the emergencies they’ve seen. Some have attended injuries way beyond teeth, because they were there and ready when other medical personnel aren’t. The article is fascinating, but not for the faint of heart. (via Digg)

Green Bay Packers Settlers of Catan Piece Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:00 AM PST As we mentioned a few days ago, several players on the Green Bay Packers football team have become obsessed with playing the board game Settlers of Catan. This inspired Neatoramanaut Zheng of Zheng Labs to design a robber piece from the game that looks like the Packers' logo, then build it using a 3D printer. Great work! You can download the design for free here.

Here's What Happy Black Metal Would Sound Like Posted: 21 Jan 2015 12:00 AM PST For some Black Metal is the sound of happiness, but most hear dark and dismal band names, guttural singing and appropriately metal guitar sounds howling and screaming in their ears. That Black Metal sound is made from sinister sounding scales, such as the harmonic minor, and as YouTuber Steve Terreberry proves if you simply change the scales Black Metal can have a happy sound. (YouTube Link) At first glance Stevie T might not look like he knows anything about Black Metal, but Stevie T does know that the sound relies on (as he puts it) those evil sounding scales, and his minor change to major scales infuses happy sounds into that bleak sounding nightmare. So whaddya think musicians? Is Stevie T on to something, or is he oversimplifying the essence of the Black Metal sound? -Via Metal Injection

TMNT The Animated Series - Half-Shelled Heroes By Moonlight Posted: 20 Jan 2015 11:00 PM PST TMNT The Animated Series by JozVoz The teenage turtles already have an animated series, three or four in fact and just as many movies, but that cartoon show starring ol' Batsy looks so much cooler!

New Canadian Passport is a "Party on Every Page" Posted: 20 Jan 2015 11:00 PM PST A Redditor recently posted these cool pictures of the latest Canadian passport. When held under black light, bright, multi-colored designs appear, mingling with the one-colored, subtle designs that can be seen by the naked eye. While it's typical for passports to have features revealed by ultraviolet light for security purposes, this one is especially intricate and brilliant. As one Redditor put it, "It's like a party on every page." See pictures of each page of the Canadian passport held under UV light here.  Via Visual News | Images: Reddit

How to Jump out of a Moving Car (And Survive) Posted: 20 Jan 2015 10:00 PM PST (Image: Mr. Porter) I’ll assume that you’re reading this post on a smartphone and you’re in a hurry. Your time is valuable—so very valuable—at this particular moment. That’s why it should be used by only an elite stuntman who knows what he’s talking about. Adam Kirley is such a stuntman. He was a body double for James Bond actor Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. You can see him in that movie fighting on a crane and crashing an Aston Martin. Now is not the time to get distracted, so please stay focused. Carefully read and follow Kirley’s instructions here. Once you jump, remember to distribute your body weight as broadly as possible: You need to exit with your back facing the direction you’re travelling. Jump out with your right shoulder (remember, we’re on the left-hand side of the car) closest to the ground, and roll over your left shoulder. Once you hit the ground, the longer the time you can spend rolling over the biggest possible area of your body, the better: the key thing is to disperse the energy over time and surface area. Once you’re spinning and rolling, there’ll be a lot of centrifugal force so keep your body tense, prevent your limbs from flailing about, and go with the roll. -via TYWKIWDBI

6 Ways to Prepare a Coelacanth Posted: 20 Jan 2015 09:00 PM PST (YouTube link) Prepare a coelacanth? Surely people don’t eat the most ancient of all fish species -they are so rare that we once thought they were extinct! No, that’s not what this preparation means. The American Museum of Natural History’s series Shelf Life shows us how science labs and museums prepare specimens of coelacanth to preserve them for scientific study. Ichthyology Curator Melanie L. J. Stiassny takes us through the process as it has been done for various purposes. -Thanks, Julia Kramer!

The Organum Mathematicum: A 17th Century Computer Posted: 20 Jan 2015 08:00 PM PST (Photos: Galileo Museum) Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) was a Jesuit scholar and polymath who was celebrated in his lifetime as one of the greatest geniuses of his age. He published on optics, magnetism, linguistics, hydraulics, and Egyptology, among many other subjects. Here are photos of the organum mathematicum, one of his inventions. This one is owned by the Galileo Museum in Florence. It’s a combination of an encyclopedia and a calculator. The museum describes how it works: The inside of the chest is divided into nine compartments, one for each of the following subjects: Arithmetic, Geometry, Art of fortifications, Chronology, Horography, Astronomy, Astrology, Steganography, and Music. Each compartment contains twenty-four small rods ending in a colored triangular tip. On each of the nine series of twenty-four small rods are inscribed definitions and information on the corresponding subject. At least one rod in each of the nine compartments has a black tip and constitutes the application table, which gives the rule for proper use. To multiply 74 x 8, for example, one removes the black-tipped rod from the Arithmetic compartment and places it next to the rods carrying the numbers 7 and 4 at the top. The eighth line on the black-tipped rod gives the desired product. -via Curiosités de Titam

R2D2 Baby Bump Posted: 20 Jan 2015 07:00 PM PST Avid Star Wars fans Tony Giordano and his wife Stefaney are expecting a baby soon. They recently painted Stefaney’s expanding belly with R2D2’s dome! They surprised the obstetrician with the artwork, then visited fellow fan Daniel Deutsch (previously at Neatorama) and his personal office droid. It was a great opportunity for photographs! You can see there’s a distinct likeness between the two. -Thanks, Daniel! (Images credit: Daniel Deutsch)

The Scientific Power of Meditation Posted: 20 Jan 2015 06:00 PM PST YouTube Link Meditation is an activity often suggested to those having problems with pain, stress, depression, anxiety and other struggles of the human condition. It's easy for some to disregard the activity as new-age nonsense, but is there more to it? AsapSCIENCE explores the study of meditation, considering the findings of relevant scientific research.

Deep Fried Beer Batter Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries Posted: 20 Jan 2015 05:00 PM PST Mere strawberries don't cut it anymore, nor do cheesecake-filled strawberries. Fia Fortune of Fia's Maine Kitchen pushes the boundaries of culinary decadence even further with this deep fried concoction. She used Dogfish Head Tweason’ale, which is a strawberry-flavored beer, for the batter. The stuffing consists of cream cheese and confectioner's sugar. -via That's Nerdalicious!

Helmet Camera Captures a Fiery Inferno from the Firefighter’s Perspective Posted: 20 Jan 2015 04:00 PM PST (Video Link) Earlier this month, fire ravaged about 48 square miles of land in Adelaide Hills, South Australia. While residents fled, firefighters rushed in to contain, then extinguish the fire. Volunteer firefighter Ben Wilson was one of those brave men and women. He wore a GoPro camera on his helmet during part of his time there. This footage shows what it’s like to ride into a blaze and snuff it out. Content warning: some foul language. -via Glenn Reynolds

6 Nobodies Who Turned Into Action Heroes Without Warning Posted: 20 Jan 2015 03:00 PM PST While movies are filled with situations in which a bystander, played by one of our favorite action heroes, must rise to the occasion and take out the bad guys single-handed, we often look at those stories as if they’d never happen in real life. But they do. Cracked has six stories of extraordinary events and the ordinary people who performed in a manner you wouldn’t even believe in a movie. Tom Bennett was one of them. Tom R. Bennett was the copilot on Trans Australian Airways flight 408 in 1960 when his flight faced the first midair hijacking in Australian history. The hijacker, Alex Hildebrandt, methodically checked off pretty much all of the villainous movie hijacker boxes by being a disgruntled Russian with a sawed-off rifle and a bomb that he had assembled in the bathroom, presumably after disabling the smoke alarm, which is also strictly against air safety regulations. He whipped out his lethal gun-and-bomb combination and began threatening everyone on board. First Officer Bennett, rather than instantly cave in to Hildebrandt's demands, calmly approached the man and asked him to knock it off, which, while brave, is not a tactic that generally works on hijackers. Hildebrandt responded by firing a warning shot into the ceiling, to show Bennett he meant business. Bennett responded to that by punching Hildebrandt directly in the face with one hand while simultaneously ripping wires out of Hildebrandt's bomb with the other, disarming it. There’s more to that story of bravery, and five others that will make you believe in ordinary heroes.

Magnificent "Magical Realist" Paintings by Rob Gonsalves Posted: 20 Jan 2015 02:00 PM PST The Woods Within Artist Rob Gonsalves was born in Toronto, Canada. In his early years after college, he worked as an architect and painter of murals and theater sets. He eventually began painting full time. Influenced by Salvador Dali, Yves Tanguy, René Magritte and M.C. Escher, Gonsalves' surrealist painting style features perspective illusions that are carefully pre-planned. Gonsalves refers to his style as "Magical Realism," and describes it via his website as "an attempt to represent human beings’ desire to believe in the impossible." Gonsalves' work has been used as the basis of three children's books, Imagine a Night,Imagine a Day,andImagine a Place.  See 25 of Gonzalves' amazing works in this article, visit the Huckleberry Fine Arts website to see the artist's full collection and to purchase prints, and follow Gonsalves on social media at his Facebook page.   Wilderness Gothic Autumn Cycling A Change of Scenery Tree House in Autumn Nocturnal Skating Carved in Stone

Mathematical Art Posted: 20 Jan 2015 12:00 PM PST Vimeo Link John Edmark’s kinetic sculptures are expertly constructed of laser-cut wood and other moving parts to create the mechanized wizardry shown here. In Edmark's artist's statement at his website, he explains the importance of mathematics to his artistic philosophy: "Much of my work celebrates the patterns underlying space and growth. Through kinetic sculptures and transformable objects, I strive to give viewers access to the surprising structures hidden within apparently amorphous space... The works can be thought of as instruments that amplify our awareness of the sometimes tenuous relationship between facts and perception... I employ precise mathematics in the design and fabrication of my work. I do this neither out of a desire to exhibit precision per se, nor to exalt the latest technology, but because the questions I’m trying to formulate and answer about spatial relationships can only be addressed with geometrically exacting constructions. Mathematical precision is an essential ally in my goal of achieving clarity." See more of these pieces on Edmark's Vimeo page. -Via Colossal YouTube Link

Dragon vs. Apache Attack Helicopter: Who Would Win? Posted: 20 Jan 2015 11:00 AM PST (Video Link) There can be no doubt that the US Department of Defense has already conducted a thorough study of this scenario. But that's classified. Fortunately, experts at the Smithsonian Channel have weighed in, analyzing the strengths and vulnerabilities of both dragons and the Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopter. Who would win? Both have a chance of victory. The outcome would depend upon luck and the tactics used by the combatants. -via The Mary Sue

Mortuary Chapel Embedded with Human Skulls Posted: 20 Jan 2015 10:00 AM PST In the small town of Wolhusen, Switzerland, a funeral home chapel sits as it has since the 17th century. Its walls are decorated with a wraparound mural depicting the Dance of Death, in which corpse-like death figures come to claim the living. What makes this particular mortuary chapel different is that, from the entryway to the murals, real human skulls are part of the decor. Inside, the mural is comprised of a series of figures in the classic Dance of Death motif, showing people from all walks of life (kings, bishops, musicians, and peasants) being led away by dancing skeletal figures, each of which has a real human skull set in the plaster where its head should be. The skulls are even situated to match the angle of the skeletons' poses, with one set in the plaster face first to show the skeleton with its back turned to the viewer. Take a mini-tour of the Wolhusen Totentanz in text and pictures at Atlas Obscura. (Image credit: Michael Bukowski & Jeanne D'Angelo)

Tree Change Dolls Posted: 20 Jan 2015 08:00 AM PST An artist in Tasmania is altering discarded Bratz dolls. He/she gets them from second hand shops, repaints their faces with more realistic features and no makeup, and gives them new molded feet and new (often crocheted) clothing. The end result is a completely different doll on the same body. Whether this is an improvement or not depends on how you feel about Bratz dolls, but you have to admit, the work is well done. Tree Change Dolls will soon be sold through Etsy, but for now, you can see them at the Tree Change Dolls blog.  -via Metafilter

Decoding the British ack-SEN-triks Movement: A Phonemological Analysis Posted: 20 Jan 2015 05:00 AM PST The following is an article from The Annals of Improbable Research. by Harold P. Dowd (with a "w," not a “u“) Centerville, USA of America The consignment came by phone, without warming, under the cubbard of Knight: "Write something inciteful, something refluxive, about the British ack-SEN-triks (sp?) movement," said a voice belong ing to the polisher of a distinguished nonsense magazine, if I heard the mission correctly before my telephone self-destructed in exactly 10 seconds. I was told that this movement, if I chose to write about it, roughly coin-sided with the "Tern of the Century." But the tip proved an unread herring, at best, as I knew nothing about that bird (the afermented tern), which must have been a standout in the Avian halls of omthidontistry, nor the century in which it made its fleeting apparence. Nor had I heard anything about the ill-legged ack-SEN-triks movement, British or otherwise, of any spelling or denomination. I was not, in truth, particularly well-traversed in this subject and was man enough to deny it to the hilt. My strategy was to do what any professional generalist - including well-known calumnists formerly on the parole of the Boston Globe - would have done in my place: I got proactive and procreative. Eccentric Possibilities There were, as best I could palpipate, only a hamful of possibilities. In the interests of thoroughbrededness, I decided to dissect them all- both one at a time and individually - to explode the various options until the correct interpretation became oblivious. Who were these forgotten men of science (not to be a sextant), and what remarkable contributions did they make to the evincement of knowledge and ineffectual marsh of progress? They Talk Funny in the UK Maybe it was not the science itself that stood out so much as the way it was resented, which made me think that my assignment could have reverted to the British "accentrics," since scientific instigators of British persuasion have always talked funny (to my untrammeled ear, at least), employing a strange accent - a stiltified manner of speech - best described as "British." I had occasion to meet one of these types, an English agronomist (actually farm-assist by trade) whose car broke down in Centerville and ended up in Barney's one night having a stiff one, while Walt and the gang gave his vehicle a stiff going over. With a name that sounded like "Cereal," he sure talked funny, just like on TV ("Fawlty Trousers"), going on for hours about clowned sheep and genitally-engineered soybeans. A nice guy, albeit lungwinded, but definitely accentric. Speaking of TV, awhile back, perhaps on Late Night with David Lederhosen, I saw something that might have been called "Stupid Egg-Zen Tricks." I can't remember what happened, but I believe the extinguished guest (British Inlander perhaps?) sat on a dozen of middle-aged-America's farm-fresh finest while mediating/levitating - omitting occasional comments on the miracle of M. Byronic development - as the host's Lederhosen stood by respectfully, without cracking a single yoke. Changeable Direction There was also, if my infirm grasp of medical history bears up, the "ex-centrist movement" which, in the mist of the changeling currents of the Thimes or Thames, missed its doc appointment altogether, drifting either to the right or left, as the quays may be. The British "Et Ceterists," an elite scientific debate society, capped off many an argument with the epigram ETC, standing for "Evident Thus Correct" or some such variegation. This group is, of course, a direct nonlinear precursor to Rush Limbo's lesion of "dittoheads" and the contemporaneous "parrotheads" of Buffett fame, who speak so longingly of "Magritteville" - also home to the factitious French detective composted by Simenon. British Sex? Western Meat? The British sex tantrics, to miss a metaphor or two, performed tricks using all manner of unnatural axe, combining the best of the Missionary and Hindish traditions. East meats West/West eats Meat, some say, though others wish they never had. I submit, from my va unted vantage point, that the less said about this sorted lot the better. Leaving no stone interred, I trust we've finally deconstructed the mystery surrounding the barefoot, treeclimbing, simian-loving band of taxidermists (and other stuffed shirts) known to some - and loved by all who knew them - as the British ack-SEN- triks movement, a group whose money contributions to diverse areas of basic research have gained interest over the decades, accumulating an ultimate yield that could never have been predicted at the time. _____________________ This article is republished with permission from the November-December 2000issue of the Annals of Improbable Research.

Matte Paintings Used in the Original <i>Star Wars</i> Film Trilogy Posted: 20 Jan 2015 04:00 AM PST Chris Evans working his magic Before computer-generated graphics were used in film, franchises such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones used what was referred to as matte paintings. Usually constructed of large plexiglass panels painstakingly painted with oils, they were artificial sets that took some of the finest artists in the business to produce. Chris Evans, Mike Pangrazio and Ralph McQuarrie are esteemed examples.  Today, that kind of work is obsolete. This article takes a look back at the practice. A wealth of spectacular images and bios of the artists make for an interesting read.    Mike Pangrazio at work
