| Oliver Pollock: The Man Who Invented the Dollar Sign Posted: 24 Nov 2015 04:00 AM PST
The cause of the American Revolution was frequently short of men, commonly short of arms and other military supplies, and almost always deprived of cash. Wars--especially wars against great powers such as the United Kingdom--are expensive. Oliver Pollock, an Irish merchant based in Spanish-controlled New Orleans, helped the nascent American government fund its war efforts. During his struggle to back the Americans, he accidentally invented the dollar sign ($). Dan Hess of Atlas Obscura traces the life of Pollock and his extraordinary efforts on behalf of the American cause. Not only did Pollock help fund the revolutionaries at his own expense, his diplomatic efforts were essential to getting Spain active in the war and ensuring the success of expeditions to capture the Trans-Appalachian West. After the war ended, Pollock wanted his money back and asked Congress to make good on its debts to him. His notes include the first use of the dollar sign:
Other historians that I've found cautiously corroboratethis claim. | ||||||||
| Vault Girl Fallout 4 - She's One Sweet Lookin' Spokesgal! Posted: 24 Nov 2015 03:00 AM PST Vault Girl Fallout 4 by Vaiolet The Vault-Tec folks were looking for a spokesperson to serve as the face of their latest underground habitats, but all they could find were slag faced Super mutants and scummy desperadoes. But then little Annie from Vault 111 walked into the room and wowed them all with her form fitting jumpsuit. The Vault-Tec folks loved her smile, which was warmer than midday in the Mojave, and they adored her hair, styled by a very gifted Mr. Handy she'd nicknamed Permie, but her derriere sealed the deal! Bring some post-apocalyptic pin-up fun with this Vault Girl Fallout 4 t-shirt by Vaiolet, it's sweeter than Sunset Sarsparilla and sure to earn you all kinds of followers!

| Posted: 24 Nov 2015 03:00 AM PST What’s not to love about snow? It’s deep, and cool, and slippery! It can be hard or it can float on air. You can jump on top of it or dig underneath it. And best of all, the kids are playing in it! The drawbacks are that it’s cold and hard to drive in, but if you’re a dog, you have a fur coat and nowhere to drive anyway. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Posted: 24 Nov 2015 02:00 AM PST This original take on Star Wars cosplay is beautiful! Hendo Art Cosplay costumed herself in Leia's robes from Episode IV, modified to look like a kimono and accented with accessories and makeup that make the princess look like a geisha from a bygone Japan. My favorite part of the cosplay is Hendo Art's parasol decorated with the emblem of the Rebel Alliance. | ||||||||

| Watch This 101-Year Old Woman Playing in the Snow Posted: 24 Nov 2015 12:00 AM PST Arman Foisy of Lillooet, British Columbia was recently driving his mother around. He stopped the car to turn around. Then his mother, Albina Foisy, opened the door and got out. She wanted to play in the snow. She's 101 years old, but she has the joy of a child when encountering snow. She scooped up a few handfuls, fashioned a snowball, and threw it. In the video (auto-start), she says, "It's snowing quite a bit. It's kinda fun to play in the snow!" She's right! -via Huffington Post | ||||||||
| Could You Bring Yourself To Kill Baby Hitler? Posted: 23 Nov 2015 11:00 PM PST It seems no story of time travel can exist today without mentioning the idea of going back in time and killing Hitler, which sounds like a good idea even though it's one mighty big butterfly to step on. The theory has evolved to killing Baby Hitler, thereby eliminating the Nazi era from even happening and possibly preventing World War II altogether. But this creates a new conundrum- could you kill a cute little baby, even if that baby would grow up to be one of the most notorious figures of the 20th century? Jeb Bush recently said he'd have no problem killing Baby Hitler (actually, he responded to the question with an enthusiastic "Hell Yeah I Would!), but he's not a very good example of normal human morality. Personally I think the time traveler vs. Hitler debate could be solved without any bloodshed by going back in time and buying Hitler's paintings, thereby legitimizing his art career. Hitler the artist will be too busy drawing Disney characters and painting portraits of German Shepherds to bring the Nazi party to power, and thirty years later we'd spot him hanging out with Andy Warhol in SoHo! -Via Know Your Meme | ||||||||

| Posted: 23 Nov 2015 09:00 PM PST You know how photographers can take a scenic view or a cityscape and make it look like a miniature by using the tilt-shift effect? What if you did that to a picture of something really, really big, like a galaxy or nebula, or even a supernova? Berlin artist St. Tesla did just that, and the results are adorable. Things that are bigger than we can even imagine end up looking like something microscopic. See more of these images at St. Tesla’s Behance page. -via Metafilter | ||||||||

The two practices blend perfectly in this Leaning Tower of Pisa. The detailed work was demanding and, Poulier says, "took many cups of coffee to complete." -via Khool | ||||||||
| Cybercrime: 10 Ways Criminals Use the Internet for Organized Crime Posted: 23 Nov 2015 07:00 PM PST The internet is like everything else: you invent something new, and soon others will exploit it for nefarious ends. And I’m not just talking about cable internet providers. Both existing organized crime syndicates and new players wasted no time in figuring out ways to exploit the world wide web to steal money, scam the unaware, and attack enemies. And that’s just the beginning. There’s a lot of everyday global trade in contraband, especially drugs.
But you know as soon as one method of illegal trade goes down, others spring up in its place. There will always be people who consider the profit to be worth the risk, no matter what the collateral damage is. Learn about ransomware, information theft, money laundering, and other cybercrimes at Urban Ghosts. | ||||||||

To complete your lumbersexual look, you need not just a plaid flannel shirt and an axe casually carried over your shoulder. You also need a dazzling splash of glitter through your beard.
iDigital Times (auto-start video) reports that this marvelous trend is sweeping Instagram. If you want your own glitter beard, you'll need a smoothly shaped beard that has been well-oiled with a quality beard oil. This is the only way to prevent your glitter from spreading everywhere. (Photo: Dann Canby) It's the perfect holiday accent for those of us who are already sporting merman hair!

| 24 Of The Best Sarcastic Dialogue Options From Fallout 4 Posted: 23 Nov 2015 05:00 PM PST The dialogue options are one of the most enjoyable elements in the Fallout franchise, and the fact that your decision actually affects how characters treat and perceive you makes chatting both fun and functional. But nothing beats those snarky sarcastic line choices, which were apparently made into a mini game of sorts in Fallout 4 as players must hit the X button as soon as the option comes on the screen to fire off a sarcastic remark. (Video contains spoilers) Fallout 4 is continuing the tradition of letting gamers play as a post-apocalyptic smartass, and as this video by OutsideXbox proves sarcasm is sweeter than Nuka-Cola when you're making friends outside the Vault. -Via Geeks Are Sexy | ||||||||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2015 04:00 PM PST Cooking is always a science lesson, whether you let your kids know it or not. And it can often be a history lesson, too. Sometimes you can throw geography in there, or genealogy if you play your cards right. But most of all, it’s a way to combine family time, learning time, and best of all, eating time into one glorious celebration.

| Little Reaper - He'll Be Your Escort To The Other Side Posted: 23 Nov 2015 03:00 PM PST To misjudge the power of the Reaper based on his size would be a grave mistake, but at least you can rest in peace knowing it will be the last mistake you ever make! The Little Reaper gathers souls that need guidance into the afterlife, shuttling spirits between the realms of the living and the dead with a little help from his black direwolf steed Mortis. Together they are tasked with keeping the spiritual balance, and although his purpose seems horrid the Reaper's not so scary after all! Add some delightful darkness to your geeky wardrobe with this Little Reaper t-shirt by Freeminds, it's a wonderful design that's sure to blow their minds.

| Posted: 23 Nov 2015 03:00 PM PST These men in Narooma, New South Wales, Australia find a cave. There are bugs inside. At first, they do not grasp the number of bugs inside the cave. But then they enter the cave, waking up the insects. The resident bugs respond by swarming. Oh, how they do swarm! Soon, it is almost impossible to see through them. Next, it is time to return to the other side. To this, one of the men says, "I don't want to go back!" Come on, where's your sense of adventure? -via Nothing to Do with Aborath | ||||||||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2015 02:00 PM PST While Americans are usually introduced to figgy pudding by way of the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” few ever actually consume it, much less make one. You might be surprised to find that it’s not even what we know as pudding.
Now you know. You might be more familiar with holiday dishes like sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green bean casserole, gingerbread, latkes, etc. but you might not know where they came from or why we eat them during the winter holidays.

| There's A Fine Line Between Attractive And Creepy Posted: 23 Nov 2015 01:00 PM PST Everybody wants to be seen as attractive to potential partners no matter what they say, and in the quest to find a likeable look people often take a wrong turn and end up in Creepsville. Some think upping their physical game is the key to being seen as attractive, but then they get so buff they scare children, their muscles constantly rippling and dripping sweat. Others think the secret to being seen as attractive is to maintain eye contact, hypnotizing their romantic target like a cobra hypnotizing its prey, but predators aren't sexy- they're scary. Attraction also relies on face-to-face communication and body signals, so you should keep the texting to a minimum until you really know someone, or the next message you receive might be a restraining order! Luckily illustrator Kat Fajardo and writer Will Stephen have created a colorful and easy to follow guide revealing The Fine Line Between Attractive And Creepy, so we don't have to come off as creepy anymore. | ||||||||
| Blind Auditions: Orchestrating Impartiality Posted: 23 Nov 2015 12:00 PM PST The number of female musicians in the top five American orchestras went from 5% in 1970 to 10% in 1980 and then to 25% in 1997. Sure, there were more women trying out as the years passed, but that doesn’t account for the entire difference. See, at one time orchestras tended to hire musicians they knew, like friends of friends. You had to know someone. Pressure from union members led some orchestras to change the way they auditioned for new members.
The 1997 study cited attributes between 30% and 55% of the increase in the female proportion of orchestras to blind auditions. | ||||||||
| 10 Celebrities With Strange Hobbies Posted: 23 Nov 2015 11:00 AM PST It's hard to accept that celebrities are just like the rest of us, basically because nobody with that much money is just like the rest of us, but there's one way I believe we are the same- our hobbies. Celebs may have more money to spend on their collections, but the drive to collect is something we share in common, and stars often collect the same silly stuff we do. Tom Hanks says the clackety-clack sound of old school typewriters speaks to him, so that's what he collects. Johnny Depp has a massive doll collection, which includes dozens of Barbies and a Lindsey Lohan doll complete with house arrest ankle monitor. But what's David Arquette up to at the top of the post? He's knitting his heart out while on vacation, which is only strange when you consider those are his official knitting shorts... See 10 Bizarre Celebrity Hobbies here | ||||||||
| Shooting Locations of <i>The Karate Kid</i> Today Posted: 23 Nov 2015 10:00 AM PST Paul, the man behind the blog Then & Now Movie Locations, travels to and photographs the original locations in which scenes from famous movies were shot.

| Posted: 23 Nov 2015 09:30 AM PST Fire tornados, a pretty but frightening phenomena, happen in nature when wind conditions are right and fire is present. You can produce one yourself, although I wouldn't recommend it. Now the Slow Mo Guys (previously at Neatorama) show us what is happening down to the finest detail. And it is beautiful. Do I have to add that you should not try this at home? It’s been done, and if anything goes wrong, you could suffer injury, loss of life and/or property, and lawsuits. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Husband Publishes List: "Reasons My Wife Is Crying" Posted: 23 Nov 2015 09:00 AM PST We all cry sometimes. For example, you may get sawdust in your eyes while woodworking. Or you watch an emotionally intense movie, such as The Dirty Dozen. Those are the two occasions when it is acceptable to cry. But Aaron Gillies, a comedy writer, has noted that his wife cries more often than that. She cries at incidents that he finds trivial. He has published a list of some of these occasions. These include watching a rabbit escape from a fox in a nature documentary and remembering that swans can be gay. On reflection, I agree with the wife: all of these are legitimate reasons to cry, which you can now add to the pair that I have mentioned above. Now, as a happily married man who plans to remain that way, I advise you gentlemen to never do this. Embarrassing your wife online is a terrible idea for most marriages. But Gillies's wife tweets that "I don't feel at all attacked." She's a good sport. | ||||||||

| Veteran Moved To Tears When A Letter He Wrote To His Wife During WWII Is Found Posted: 23 Nov 2015 08:00 AM PST Precious mementos such as letters, trinkets and photographs are far too easy to lose during your lifetime, and when one of these beloved items is lost it leaves a hole in your heart that never heals. Veteran Bill Moore was lonely and missing his significant other, just like most guys stationed overseas during WWII, and just like the others he made himself feel less lonely by writing his beloved Bernadean letters. When Bill came home he married Bernadean, the letters becoming part of their love's legacy, but somewhere along the way one very important letter disappeared, only to reappear 70 years later in a thrift store in Colorado. It's amazing that something as easily lost as a love letter would be discovered so many decades later hiding in the sleeve of a record, I guess they didn't play that album very often! -Via ViralThread | ||||||||
| Gohan Dead - How To Squash A Saiyan Posted: 23 Nov 2015 07:30 AM PST Messing around with the energy contained in dragon balls can be a dangerous affair, and those who are willing and eager to collect and unlock that magical energy are just as dangerous as the balls themselves. But Grandpa Gohan knew what he was doing when he taught Goku about the Oozaru transformation, and Gohan was well aware of how unpredictable the Great Ape form can be. But risk is the name of the game for the living Saiyans, and sometimes a few heroes will have to fall so that others may rise higher...
