| Posted: 08 Feb 2015 04:00 AM PST Three blizzards in one week left New Brunswick deep in snow. Does this train care? No, it just plows right through, despite the engineer not being able to see for all the snow flying. We can’t see what kind of plow the engine has; we can assume it’s a good one. After the first 80 seconds, there’s not any more to see besides a train crossing the road. -via Viral Viral Videos  | ||||||||
| Adorable Kitchenette System Looks Like Dozing Birds Posted: 08 Feb 2015 02:00 AM PST Russian designers Tanya and Misha Repin developed LOLO, a "capsular micro kitchen." It would be a good pick for upscale office settings or hotels. The cabinets hold small cooking implements, such as microwave ovens, coffee pots, and water coolers. They're designed to resemble dainty dozing birds. -via Fubiz | ||||||||
| Posted: 08 Feb 2015 12:00 AM PST A nursing mother cat in Russia is badgered by her four kittens, while she just wants to take a stroll. Four kittens? I see five, although that big white one looks a little out of place. It’s a puppy! The little intruder just wants to get in on that milk. Poor mama cat. Then a duckling shows up, too, making you wonder what kind of zoo nursery this place is. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Posted: 07 Feb 2015 10:00 PM PST That's a real PS3 controller resting on a perfectly crafted replica that serves as a table. It's not functional, but it will certainly impress gamers who visit your home. Scott Blackwell, a woodworker in South Carolina, made it. He's offering the table for sale on Etsy. We've previously featured other work by Scott Blackwell: this twisted bookcase. That's the dominant theme in his work. It's especially effective in this bookcase that takes inspiration from Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. -via Nerd Bastards | ||||||||

| Penguin Photobombs Coast Guard Posted: 07 Feb 2015 08:00 PM PST Big ship, large crew, little penguin. The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star is in Antarctica, resupplying McMurdo Station before winter sets in. To get there, the ship had to break 12 miles of ice! While there, the crew posed for a group picture with the ship. That’s when a curious Adelie penguin strolled in and photobombed the picture. At least he caused the whole group to smile! | ||||||||
| The Beatles Marionettes Perform "Help" Posted: 07 Feb 2015 06:00 PM PST These buskers in Donostia, Basque Country, Spain perform the iconic song "Help" by The Beatles. They're totally convincing! I'm especially impressed with the puppeteers' vocal performance, which perfectly matches the original sound. | ||||||||
| Is This the End for RadioShack? Posted: 07 Feb 2015 04:00 PM PST RadioShack once encouraged folks to make their own gadgets. When I was a kid, my father often picked up electrical components at RadioShack, although he sometimes lamented the demise of the local hobby shop when the chain moved in. RadioShack introduced a generation to computers with their TRS-80. And we all coveted the latest state-of-the-art TI calculators for math class. At one time, it seemed like the entire store was taken over by remote-controlled cars. | ||||||||
| Huge Manatee Party Shuts Down Refuge Posted: 07 Feb 2015 02:00 PM PST
There ain't no party like a manatee party! When the manatees show up, you know that the party is going to rock all night. And they showed up in numbers at the Three Sisters Springs north of Tampa, Florida on Monday. About 300 manatees swarmed a 1 acre area, forcing managers to shut down boating and swimming to make room for them. This is about double the largest number of manatees they've ever seen at the site at the same time. -via Huffington Post | ||||||||

The photo above is of number twelve on the list, 1939's Gone With the Wind, directed by Victor Fleming and written by Sidney Howard. The film is a grand-scale epic in which the enduring characters remain vivid and engaging, even so many years later. Read more about the other 85 Oscar-winning Best Picture filmshere. | ||||||||
| Posted: 07 Feb 2015 10:00 AM PST In this fast-paced short film from Thomas Ridgewell, also known as TomSka (previously at Neatorama), a spy is sent to infiltrate a poker game. However, the film was funded by Comedy Central UK, so you know things don’t go as planned. Or maybe things went exactly as they should have. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Goatee Saver Rescues Your Beard from Danger Posted: 07 Feb 2015 08:00 AM PST This clever gadget is the Goatee Saver, a shaving template that keeps a firm barrier between a razor and a vulnerable, precious goatee. The owner grips it in his/her teeth, then shaves normally. It's adjustable to fit different facial sizes and features. -via David Thompson | ||||||||

| I Would Have Gotten Away With It Too If It Weren't For You Meddling Kids! Posted: 07 Feb 2015 06:00 AM PST Cartoon criminals met their match when groups of teenagers joined by talking dogs, ghosts or anthropomorphic vehicles started looking for clues and solving crimes in 1969. These meddling kids changed the face of Saturday Morning Cartoons, bringing a bit of mystery and supernatural imagination to an otherwise slapstick world, and kids ate up the meddling kids formula like a great big bowl of Ghost Goulash. The group's dynamic formula was pretty simple- a Fox and a Stud were joined by a Doofus and the Nyah Nyah to hilarious effect. These crime solving groups were perfectly balanced, visually appealing and teenagers could actually relate to the characters in the group, which meant these shows appealed to a wider audience. Let's take a look back at ten groups of meddling kids from cartoons past, celebrating their differences while smirking at their sameness. 1. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969)- Scooby-Doo and the gang are the ones who started it all, the first pack of teen detectives to take on the tough cases no standard investigators would touch, and their crime solving abilities helped give birth to the classic line "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" 2. The Funky Phantom (1971)- The teenage crime solving game took a turn for the strange in The Funky Phantom, because these intrepid teens were accompanied by two real life ghosts- Revolutionary War era coward Jonathan Wellington "Mudsy" Muddlemore and his snickering cat, Boo. Despite the fact that a ghost is part of the main cast the supernatural baddies still turned out to be nothing but criminals in disguise, how's that for funky?! 3. Jabberjaw (1976)- Jabberjaw took the teen crime solving formula deep underwater, and far into the future. It's the year 2076 and Jabberjaw, a fifteen-foot-tall shark named Jabberjaw (who's seems to be the reincarnation of Curly from the Three Stooges) helps teenage songsters The Neptunes solve crimes and defeat any evil villains who threaten the undersea world. It's more sci-fi than horror, and most of the villains look like they should be hanging out with Ming the Merciless, and as usual teenagers totally rule and the old bad guys look like fools. 4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids (1973)- The name Butch Cassidy may conjure up images of outlaws and gunfights, but in this case Butch is a secret agent/pop star and the Sundance Kids are his backing band/teenage crime solving troupe. Butch Cassidy is definitely the blandest group in the bunch, and their secret agent storylines aren't nearly as interesting as the horror or sci-fi themed stories found in the other series, but Butch's dog Elvis is pretty cute! 5. Casper and the Angels (1979)- Casper and the Angels was one of the later groups to join in on the groovy ghost busting fun, and they don't exactly fit the formula set forth by Scooby-Doo. For one thing their group is more like two duos, and the Stud in this case is a mangy ghost named Hairy Scary, who scares the bad guys senseless. The episode plots weren't the most amazing or original, but the retro future look of the show had lots of visual appeal, and despite Casper's advanced age he still manages to scare up some laughs. 6. Speed Buggy (1973)- Transportation became part of the team in the offroad racing inspired series Speed Buggy, starring the cutest little sputtering car you've ever seen! Speed Buggy seems to exist in the same cartoon universe as the Wacky Races, and many of the show's storylines could be seen as an extension of the global race themes found in certain episodes of Wacky Races. 7. Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space (1972)- Josie and the Pussycats were really good at two things by the time they were accidentally launched into outer space in this series reboot- capturing criminals and breaking out in impromptu musical numbers. The enemies, the backgrounds, and their outfits may have changed, but they still knew the best way to bring down those intergalactic bad guys- with a poppy song! 8. Goober and the Ghost Chasers (1973)- Goober and the Ghost Chasers has always been seen as a Scooby Doo ripoff, but since it was also made by Hanna Barbera let's just agree to call it a lateral storyline. Maybe there are multiple groups of crime solving kids existing within the same animated universe? This ghost busting group used equipment from their Apparition Kit to locate ghosts, then they got the ghosts to help them bust the criminals posing as ghosts! Oh, and did I mention Goober turned invisible when he was scared? A cool power and a better command of the English language...Goober really gave Scooby a run for his money! 9. The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan (1972)- Charlie Chan is the most famous Chinese-American detective ever, but when he was brought back into the crime solving game in the early 70s he came along with his entire clan- the Chan Clan. The Amazing Chan is a widowed(?) father of ten who uses his family's wide range of talents to solve crimes, with a little help from their dog Chu Chu and an equally amazing van that can transform into all sorts of vehicles. 10. Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels (1977)- Captain Caveman manages to be even shaggier than the original crime solving doofus Shaggy, and his role as the world's first superhero makes him the perfect guy to call when you're in trouble. However, having someone normal around who can solve crimes without whacking people on the head with a club makes for a stronger group, so the Teen Angels are there to help tame CC's hairy temper! Now don't you wish you'd spent your teenage years solving crimes and hanging around a talking animal instead of sitting around watching cartoons all day? Nah, me neither! |
