| Mexican Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Wrestlers Posted: 08 Mar 2015 04:00 AM PDT Nothing tops Mexican wrestling for glorious theatrics. This match from February shows the Tortuguillos Karatekas and Tortugas Ninjas battling at the Arena López Mateos in Tlalnepantla, Mexico. All of them are dressed as the Ninja Turtles, so clearly one team consists of imposters. But which one? -via Fashionably Geek  | ||||||||
| I Can't Enter That (No Sandman) Posted: 08 Mar 2015 12:00 AM PST Need a nice soothing song to help you go to sleep early now that you’ve set your clocks ahead an hour for Daylight Saving Time? How about a nice mashup of “I Can’t Go For That” by Hall and Oates and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica? Mashup artist Neil Cicierga seamlessly blends the tune of the former with the vocals of the latter, leaving us delighted at how melodic the Metallica vocals really are. The A.V. Club says:
I dunno, I quite like it. Maybe it helps that I was never a really big fan of either group. | ||||||||
| Posted: 07 Mar 2015 10:00 PM PST Andrew Southwood-Jones and Alexander Kashin operate Daast, a design studio in Sydney, Australia. They developed Spyder, a lamp with 3 flexible legs. The tip of each leg is magnetized. So as long as there are metal surfaces handy, it would be ideal for situations when you need a light on just one spot. A suggestion for a later version: make one that looks like an actual spider. -via David Thompson | ||||||||
| LEGO <i>Back To The Future</i> Posted: 07 Mar 2015 08:00 PM PST Shot at Brick 2014, the LEGO convention in London, here is the climactic “will he make it home” scene from the movie Back to the Future rendered in tremendously fine detail by Macro Lego Universe. -via Daily of the Day | ||||||||
| <i>Millennium Falcon</i> Pizza Posted: 07 Mar 2015 06:00 PM PST Nerdy with Children proclaims that it is pizza night! It looks like a standard pizza design, but Captain Solo has made a few special modifications. Now it can make the Kessel Run in only 3,000 calories. -via Home Geekonomics | ||||||||
| Posted: 07 Mar 2015 04:00 PM PST Jean has risen from the ashes many times in her young life, and each time she comes back angrier than the last! The Phoenix force wells up fiery bright within her when her blood starts to boil, so it's best not to get this bird angry. Emotions are not your friend when you've got a force within you trying to burn its way out, but as long as neither pig nor super powered punk pushes her too far she'll keep the flames from scorching the Earth...

| Posted: 07 Mar 2015 04:00 PM PST Here we have an outdoorsman who must cross a frozen creek where the ice is kind of thin. The creek seems to be shallow, and he’s wearing waders anyway, so why is the guy so skittish? It’s not explained why he must cross the ice; my theory is that the buddy recording it has already crossed, since he seems to know so much about the ice conditions, and he weighs a lot less than the fellow shown. Anyway, the humor comes from not only the guy’s actions, but also his buddy’s laughter. Best of all, we get to hear the creaking and cracking of the ice as he makes his way across. -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||
| This Kitchen Island Has an Aquarium Inside of It Posted: 07 Mar 2015 02:00 PM PST Dutch designer Robert Kolenik developed this unique kitchen island. It has an enormous aquarium right below a cooking station, which I suppose makes very fresh fish a dining possibility. If I understand it correctly, the cabinets that hold the water pipes and range have mirrored walls, creating the impression that the aquarium is even larger than it appears. You can see more photos at Contemporist. | ||||||||
| Man Finds Hidden Message Inside His Cereal Box Posted: 07 Mar 2015 12:00 PM PST
"This is the very last bag of Canadian cereal for the Canadian market from Kellogg's London, Ontario Plant." Beneath the message were the signatures of three men. The message writers were dealing with an era of their lives that had come to an end. The Kellogg's factory for which they worked was closed on December 21, 2014 after being in operation for 107 years. Mike Cascadden, the man behind one of the signatures under the message, had the idea to write it because he said the factory was "in his DNA." Cascadden told the London Free Press that his family had spent a combined 184 years of their working lives at the plant: 30 years for his grandfather, 38 years for his father, 32 years for his aunt, 20 years for his son and 24 years himself. Gaudette didn't take Cascadden's message lightly. He recognized its significance in the history of London, Ontario. Gaudette said, “It’s kind of ironic it falls into the hands of a high school history teacher. It's a great history lesson.” See a video and read more about Gaudette's find, including the fate of both the box and the factory, at the London Free Press.

| Cuttlefish Hypnotize Their Prey with Tripply Light Shows Posted: 07 Mar 2015 10:00 AM PST
From Gizmodo comes this fascinating National Geographic video about cuttlefish. These deadly predators can project light sequences over the surface of their bodies. This ability can be used for camouflage to hide from enemies, but also to capture the attention of prey. Certain light sequences hypnotize other sea creatures, giving the cuttlefish time to get close enough to snatch them with projectile tentacles. They're like swimming techno dance clubs that hunt and kill you. | ||||||||
| Eight Of The Strangest Animated TV Shows From The 1980s Posted: 07 Mar 2015 08:00 AM PST Saturday mornings in the 1980s were a magical time for the lucky kids who got to see their favorite toys, video games and live action TV shows get a toon makeover while eating a bowl of cereal featuring some of the same licensed characters. These ten animated TV shows from the 1980s may be a bit strange compared to their better known Saturday Morning Cartoon siblings, but that's what makes them all so memorable! 1. Rubik the Amazing Cube (1983-84)- It's the frustrating color matching cube that became an iconic symbol of the 80s, it's Rubik the Amazing Cube! Give that colorful little cube a pair of blocky legs, a cute little elfy voice, Mickey Rooney's face and a theme song by Menudo and you've got the makings of a mighty odd cartoon show. 2. Punky Brewster (1985-86)- Punky and her dog Brandon discover a magical village at the end of a rainbow where they meet a gopher-leprechaun hybrid named Glomer. Glomer has the magical ability to send Punky and her friends anywhere on Earth, but he's constantly bungling spells and landing Punky's crew in hot water, which is instantly forgiven because he's so darn cute! Turbo-Teen tells the tale of a young man who crashes his red sports car into a secret government laboratory and gets zapped by a molecular beam that fuses kid and car together to form Turbo-Teen! He's like a crime fighting were-car, except his transformation is triggered by heat, and he solves mysteries with help from his reporter friend Patti, his dog Rusty and his mechanic buddy Alex, who keeps TT running smoothly. 4. Kidd Video (1984-85)- Jem and the Holograms definitely made girls want to start a band, but Kidd Video made all 80s kids want to band together and make sweet music, because they were the hippest teen band on TV! Kidd and his band Kidd Video are kidnapped by the evil Master Blaster and transported to his dark homeworld The Flipside, where music and mayhem rule. Kidd Video featured music from popular artists of the day, a fairy who looks like she came straight from Jazzercise class, and an awareness of their toonification, which they often used against the evil Master Blaster. Kidd Video was tailor made to appeal to 80s kids, which is probably why it has yet to make its way onto DVD. 5. Meatballs & Spaghetti (1982-83)- Meatballs & Spaghetti was an understated little show about a traveling husband and wife band who stumbled into adventures as they toured the country in their mobile home. The show played with television tropes in a way that even adults could appreciate, and featured a cast that seemed familiar to all cartoon lovers, because they were the grown up equivalent of a group of meddling kids! So what's the strangest bit on the show? How about their dog Woofer on drums... 6. Beverly Hills Teens (1987)- Richie Rich was the first rich kid on the block to make young viewers long for the good life, and the Beverly Hills Teens were the spoiled brats who made kids happy they didn't hang out with rich kids. Created as a response to the violent action shows sweeping the airwaves in the 1980s, Beverly Hills Teens taught kids important lessons like money cures boredom and makes you cool, and if you have enough money you can get away with anything! 7. The Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour (1981)- Laverne & Shirley joined the likes of Fonzie and Mork & Mindy in getting their own animated TV show for a short while in the early 80s. The girls were teamed up with teenage versions of Mork & Mindy for an hour of animated television that epitomized the "animate everything" trend taking place in the 80s. Laverne & Shirley In The Army was based on a two part episode of their live action TV show, and since Fonzi was the link between Laverne & Shirley and the crew from Happy Days he came along for the animated ride. The coolest part about this hour of animated TV? Fonzi's dog Mr. Cool, who was a great source of comic relief. 8. Potato Head Kids (1986-87)- What's a Mister and Misses Potato Head without a bunch of spuds running around the potato patch? The Potato Head Kids were cute yet a bit creepy looking, and stylistically they totally could have been BFFs with the Fry Guys and McNuggets from McDonaldland! They were just ordinary vegetable kids having imaginative adventures and trying to keep their heads out of the fryers, but they never appealed to kids quite like their beloved potato parents. I hope this totally radical cartoon trip has brought back some good memories for those of you who grew up in the 80s, and for the rest I hope it inspires you to seek out and explore all the animated goodness the 80s had to offer! | ||||||||

| Modeling the Zombie Apocalypse Posted: 07 Mar 2015 07:00 AM PST Cornell University researchers havedesigned a model for a potential outbreak of zombie infection.
The interactive map shows how the zombie infection can spread. You can adjust several parameters for your apocalypse scenario. In the map shown, I began the outbreak in the most obvious place, Atlanta. In this scenario, zombies only kill one out of every four persons they bite, and it takes a zombie 18 minutes to walk a mile. Yet in only 48 hours, they’ve spread the infection over a huge part of the South. If you begin a scenario, you should leave it running for as long as it takes to determine the safest geographical area to hide. -via Metafilter | ||||||||
