| These Babies Are Scared of Their Own Shadows Posted: 13 Sep 2015 04:00 AM PDT What is that horrible monster chasing me?! No matter where I go, it goes, too! What's worse is that as I cry for help, my family actually laughs at me! I'm surrounded by sadists. -via 22 Words  | ||||||||
| Man Builds Airplane From Scratch by Watching YouTube Videos Posted: 13 Sep 2015 02:00 AM PDT I fixed my fridge by watching a howto video online, but that's nothing compared to what Asmelash Zerefu of Ethiopia did: He built an airplane by watching YouTube videos. Zerefu has always wanted to be a pilot, but in 2001, he was turned down from the Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy because he was about half an inch too short. But that crushing setback didn't deter him: Zerefu decided to build himself a plane from scratch. Jonathan Wells of The Telegraph has the story:

| Eye Of The Tiger - For The Kill With The Skill To Survive Posted: 13 Sep 2015 12:00 AM PDT Eye Of The Tiger by Rocky Davies Cringer had never really experienced the thrill of the fight until he'd transformed into Battlecat, badass feline battle mount and master of the kitteh universe. That's when he came to understand the power he held in his eyes, a gaze that made blood run cold and let it be known that he stalks his prey in the night. He was stronger than He-Man after transforming, and yet that Cringer soul lurked within him, making him tremble as he faced new waves of fiendish foes. Would he be able to hang tough and stay hungry long enough to rise up to the challenge of their rivals?

| Posted: 13 Sep 2015 12:00 AM PDT This amazing footage shows a lion dog that very much resembles Fritz the golden retriever. Watch him stalk his prey, the elusive soap bubble. Here he encounters a herd of them, to his utter delight! -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Some Of The Most Memorable Screw-Ups In Comic History Posted: 12 Sep 2015 10:00 PM PDT Comics have a consistent release schedule that leaves a lot of room for mistakes, and yet a surprisingly low number of errors make it into print. It's easy to assume syndicated comics would be full of errors since they're (generally) released daily, but errors that occur are usually the publisher's fault and not the creator's, even though it's the creators who feel the backlash in the end. Garfield's Jim Davis felt this backlash back in 2010 when a strip he'd drawn nearly a year earlier was released on Veteran's Day and taken out of context as an insult against veterans. In the world of comic books screw-ups are usually a result of an artist or writer's poor judgment, since errors are generally caught by editors before the issue is printed. Stan Lee was working as editor when he allowed Marvel's Tales Of Suspense #92 to be printed with a terrible joke told by Captain America, a guy not generally known for his clever quips. The joke was seen as "one of the funniest lines of dialogue in cartooning history", and later reprints feature a "corrected" version of the joke.

They give it their all as fast as they can to impress the crowd and the judges at the Globetrotter World Slackline Masters meet in Munich. Who should win? Why do they do this?

| Finger Cookies Are Perfect for Dipping Posted: 12 Sep 2015 08:00 PM PDT Italian designer Paolo Ulian has a great idea for a cookie design! His thimble-shaped cookies are ideal for dipping in chocolate, caramel, and syrup. It's a tidy, efficient way of getting these drippy foods in you rmouth. Ulian is, as you can see, suggesting Nutella. I definitely won't argue with this choice! | ||||||||
| Posted: 12 Sep 2015 06:00 PM PDT Mark Twain wrote a 36-page essay on it. George Carlin said that if God hadn't intended humans to do it, he would have made their arms shorter. It's the solo flight: masturbation. AsapSCIENCE takes on the topic in a nonprurient manner in their latest video. So watch it if you're so inclined, in the name of SCIENCE, of course. | ||||||||

If a rolling duffel is just not hipster enough for you, it's time to go full hobo and get yourself an bindle. But don't just grab any old stick and rag, get yourself a "locally-grown, naturally-fallen artisanal bindle bags" from Josiah and Dusty, the Bindle Bros of (you guessed it) Williamsburg, Brooklyn. "We're trying to build adventures, one stick, one bindle at a time," Dusty said to the New York Times. "You can fit any physical objects in a bindle," added Josiah,"but bindles are really meant for your hopes and your dreams." These bindles ain't cheap: a basic one goes for $99, and fancy ones can cost up to $350. "There's a lot of R and D that goes into constructing one of these gems," Josiah defended his handmade creation, "You can't just tie a bandanna to the end of a stick." And business is booming: But before you rage against the inanity of the idea of an artisanal bindle (come on, you're kicking yourself because you didn't think of it first), read the full story behind the Bindle Bros over at the New York Times. I wonder if you can carry artisanal firewood in one of those bindles. | ||||||||
| Seven Times When Having A Low Budget Resulted In Movie Magic Posted: 12 Sep 2015 02:00 PM PDT Producers have to adhere to a strict budget and milestone timeline to get their film completed per studio standards, and if a film seems like it's going over budget they pull the plug and move on to the next project. But many crafty filmmakers have figured out ways to work around budget constraints, and their movie making on the cheap became the stuff of Hollywood legend. Take the Monty Python crew for instance- they wanted to have real life horses in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but they were shooting on a budget and simply could not afford them. So they resurrected an old time foley trick and turned two coconut halves into the clop of a horse's hooves, and one of the most iconic gags in comedy history was born.

| 15 Facts About the Dakota Building Posted: 12 Sep 2015 12:00 PM PDT
The building also has quite a history. Roman Polanski shot scenes for Rosemary's Baby there. A huge list of celebrities have called the building home, including Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall, and Boris Karloff. John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived there, and Lennon was killed just outside the building. | ||||||||
| This is What Biking Down a Dam Wall Feels Like Posted: 12 Sep 2015 10:00 AM PDT Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Daredevil Primož Ravnik rode his bicycle down the nearly vertical wall of a Slovenian dam and captured the nearly 200 feet (60m) plunge on his GoPro camera. The stunt was part of a contest by GoPro and biking website Pinkbike to find the most outrageous stunt, with a top prize of $20,000.

| Run, Morty, Run! - Why Does Bad Stuff Always Happen To The Bumbling Buffoon? Posted: 12 Sep 2015 07:00 AM PDT Run, Morty, Run! by Tom Trager Morty's grandpa is, shall we say, less than a positive influence on his life.
