If firefighters need to respond to a call to a bad neighborhood, this would be the way to arrive in safety and style. The Omsktransmash СПМ is the Russian Army's new armored firefighting vehicle. It's a 60-ton tracked vehicle made from T-72 and T-80 tank parts. Jalopnik reports:
I want one. You know--for puttering around town and going shopping.  | ||||||||
| Posted: 26 Mar 2016 02:00 AM PDT When you want to pop the question to the love of your life, nothing says it like pizza. Whether that’s a good thing or not is totally up to the couple involved. For most of us, how the question is asked is less important than whether it is asked at all. But everyone loves pizza, and it’s a creative medium composed of different foods that can be arranged, plus often a nice box with a big lid to write on the inside of. See the efforts of 15 people who proposed marriage with a pizza, and one with ice cream, at Buzzfeed. | ||||||||
| How to Sound Smart in Your TED Talk Posted: 26 Mar 2016 12:00 AM PDT Will Stephen is a comedian with the Upright Citizens Brigade and a writer who has published with the New Yorker, New York Magazine, and CollegeHumor. Will Stephen is smart. You can tell because he's delivering a TED Talk. Only smart people get to deliver TED Talks. And, more importantly, only smart people watch and--if at all possible--attend TED Talks in person. So if you cannot attend a TED Talk yourself, then make sure that you are seen in public watching a recording of one. Or just link to a TED Talk on social media and tell people how meaningful it was to you. This particular TED Talk would be a good pick. It will prepare you to deliver your own TED Talk, as Stephen explains in detail how to enunciate, gesticulate, and obfuscate in ways that will make you appear intelligent to people who like to watch TED Talks. You know--smart people like you. -via Swiss Miss | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2016 11:00 PM PDT Kazakh architect Aibek Almassov has designed a cylindrical home made of glass and transparent solar panels that encloses a full-grown tree like a greenhouse. And it’s a livable space with a full bath, kitchen, living and sleeping areas, and a spiral staircase to four floors. While there doesn’t seem to be much privacy, it can be built in a thick forest with trees nearby or in a clearing. And it may just be built, now that Almassov has two sponsors, one of which manufactures glass and transparent solar panels. But back to the greenhouse idea: if you can get by having tree branches in your way for some home activities, what happens when they grow and flourish? See more pictures of the house and floor plans at Dezeen. -via Everlasting Blort | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2016 10:00 PM PDT It's not your toddler's fault that he had an accident. The potty is safe only when you're there. Otherwise, the potty monster visits. If he goes there instead of in his pants, it will snatch him and pull him in. This isn't a real horror movie . . . yet. But it could be one. Andy Herald of How to Be a Dad has 6 great pitches to offer producers. They're terrify any toddler at bedtime, which is, of course, precisely what every parent of a toddler wants to do. | ||||||||
| Colorado Crime Spree Played Out Like Real Life GTA Posted: 25 Mar 2016 09:00 PM PDT Parents used to live in fear of their video game obsessed kids playing Grand Theft Auto then deciding it would be a grand idea to steal a car and lead the police on a high speed chase, but thankfully no kid was ever that dumb. However, convicted dumb criminal Ryan Stone proved age does not guarantee wisdom back in 2013 when he started his GTA in real life crime spree by stealing a red Ford Edge left running in a gas station parking lot. But Ryan had just stolen a car with a four-year-old in the back and realized he needed to bail out, so he pulled a GTA move and blocked off another car on the road, dragging the driver out before speeding off again. After a failed attempt to jump cars once again Ryan took off on foot, the scene ending dramatically yet unlike GTA because the helicopter didn't mow him down in the middle of the street. Whether he was actually trying to imitate the video game series or not is unknown, but everyone involved is thankful the incident did not play out like GTA because nobody was killed or seriously injured during the spree. -Via Fraghero | ||||||||
| Cadbury Creme Egg Filled Donuts Posted: 25 Mar 2016 08:00 PM PDT Like any sensible person, I plan to spend the Easter weekend month eating nothing but Cadbury Creme Egg-based foods. For dinner today, I'll serve my family donuts made to look like the famous eggs. Chrisy of the food blog Homemade Hooplah offers a recipe for these instantly-recognizable donuts. The filling is made of corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and Cool Whip. The frosting is, appropriately, made from Cadbury-brand chocolate. -via Tasteologie | ||||||||

| A History Of Batman Movies That Almost Were Posted: 25 Mar 2016 07:00 PM PDT There have been a lot of Batman movies, eight if you count only the live-action series beginning in 1989. But there were more that were conceived, proposed, pitched, or written that never made it to the screen -and some of them are pretty weird. Blockbuster movies these days always come with an implied possibility of a sequel, so producers are constantly thinking of “the next one.” Such was the case for Joel Schumacher’s 1997 movie Batman and Robin.
That’s just one example of five unmade Batman movies you can learn about at Uproxx. | ||||||||
| Suvet Is a Duvet That You Wear All Day Posted: 25 Mar 2016 06:00 PM PDT A duvet is a British term for a fluffy comforter. To encourage people to sleep more, the Jurys Inn Hotel Group in the UK made suits made from these soft pieces of bedding. In a way, it's like staying in bed all day. If you ever feel the need to nap, you don't have to search for a bed because you're already in one. Just lie down wherever you are, even if it's in the office or on the Underground. You can see more photos at a video at Bored Panda. -via Nag on the Lake | ||||||||
| What Does Human Flesh Taste Like? Posted: 25 Mar 2016 05:00 PM PDT Many people have wondered what human flesh tastes like, but cannibalism is a totally taboo topic unless you approach it scientifically, a method of inquiry that may require a bit of self sacrifice. Brit Lab's Greg Foot learned that lesson the hard way, as he submitted to having a piece of muscle extracted from his leg in his quest to find out what human flesh tastes like. Greg doesn't eat his own flesh so don't worry, but in order to figure out what combination of meats would approximate the taste of human flesh he had to cook his leg meat to get the aroma right.

| The 10 Most Powerful Telekinetics in Movie History Posted: 25 Mar 2016 04:00 PM PDT The ability to move things with only the power of one’s mind can power horrifying movie plots. Even when it’s not the focus of a film, it opens up the opportunity for great special effects. How do you defend yourself from someone who doesn’t even have to be close to attack you? There are a lot of movies that harness the power of fictional telekinesis, but few that were more terrifying than Carrie.
That still leaves nine movies on this list of telekinetic cinema, which you’ll enjoy at TVOM. | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2016 03:00 PM PDT Okay, fine: the missing spot is for Tasha Yar. Did you really have to ask right in front of them? Now you've upset them. I can't take you anywhere. I'm having trouble tracking down the origin of these wooden peg dolls showing characters from the original series and The Next Generation. I suspect that they're from a now-closed Etsy shop because that's where the internet trail runs cold. -via Tor | ||||||||
| 15 Big Facts About <i>My Big Fat Greek Wedding</i> Posted: 25 Mar 2016 02:00 PM PDT My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is in theaters today, so it might be a good time to talk about the phenomena that was Nia Vardalos’ 2002 movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It was shot on a budget of only $5 million, but blossomed into the highest-grossing romantic comedy of all time. Will the sequel do as well? Only time will tell, but here’s some things you should know about the original.
And no one could have performed the role better, because the script was based on her experiences and the people she knew. Read more about My Big Fat Greek Weddingat mental_floss. | ||||||||
| Dog Snores Like a Cartoon Character Posted: 25 Mar 2016 01:00 PM PDT When he's awake, he's a normal dog. When he's asleep, he becomes a voice over artist. This Labrador sounds just like a stereotypical cartoon character snoring. He's so loud that I'm surprised that he doesn't wake himself up! -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2016 12:00 PM PDT The year 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. In preparation for a television special on the Bard, Channel 4 sent investigators to Shakespeare’s burial site at Holy Trinity church in Stratford-on-Avon, where they used ground-penetrating radar to see inside the crypt. What they found gives credence to a rumor that Shakespeare was the victim of grave robbers over 200 years ago. His head looks to be missing.
The evidence is not exactly conclusive, and the church’s vicar isn’t disposed to disturb the grave any further. The Channel 4 special on Shakespeare will air Saturday night. -via Metafilter | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2016 11:00 AM PDT YouTube member Rand0Vidz says that his goldfish and his cat named Bootz get along perfectly fine. Even though they're natural enemies, Bootz always escapes the tub unharmed. They're best friends! -via The Hairpin | ||||||||
| Microsoft Deletes Chatbot Over Offensive Tweets Posted: 25 Mar 2016 10:00 AM PDT Microsoft launched an artificial intelligence chatbot on Twitter, to see how interacting with other social media users would teach the program conversational skills. The bot was named Tay and had a female profile pic. Tay’s developers sadly neglected to take into consideration what happens when the internet public is encouraged to exert influence.
Tay's Twitter feed has since been deleted while the team makes “adjustments,” which presumably will include filters. It’s an example that proves that any public demonstration of technical engineering (as well as PR campaigns) needs to be run through a consult with a devil’s advocate. You can see some examples of the offensive deleted Tweets at Business Insider. -via Digg | ||||||||
| Burgergrill Kids - You Can See My House From Up Here! Posted: 25 Mar 2016 09:00 AM PDT Burgergrill Kids by Kgullholmen When Bob brought home some back alley beef that he bought at half the price of the regular stuff he had no idea whether the stuff would make people sick or not, but he didn't much care considering Teddy would probably eat most of the burgers by himself. Bob whipped up a few test burgers just to make sure he wasn't feeding his customers anything that would kill them in the restaurant, but before he could eat the burgers the kids had scarfed them down. Tina said "I feel funny" then started to float off the ground, which made Gene fart and immediately start to float too. Soon the three Burgergrill Kids were flying all over the place, and Bob was left wondering if it was too late to buy more of that back alley beef... Despite what Louise and Linda say this Burgergrill Kids t-shirt by Kgullholmen is very tasteful and totally awesome, grab one and watch spirits soar wherever you go! Visit Kgullholmen's Facebook fan page, official website, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr, then head on over to his NeatoShop for more ridiculously cool designs:

| Square People Took Bus Tours To Gawk At Hippies On Haight-Ashbury Posted: 25 Mar 2016 09:00 AM PDT The Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco was the official heart of the Summer of Love, the hippie mecca that attracted flower children from all over the country while repulsing the nation's squares. Things got mighty freaky in Frisco during those free love days, and you could see all kinds of strange sights and interesting people on the sidewalks in and around Haight-Ashbury, making it a prime stop for a bus tour. In 1967 San Francisco Chronicle reporter J. Campbell Bruce and photographer Art Frisch took a ride on one of these ridiculous Grey Lines bus tours dubbed the “Hippie Hop” to shoot some pics and show the world what the squares were squawking about. This "descent into psychedelia" looks pretty tame to our modern eyes, but imagine the wonder and horror those (mostly Midwestern) squares felt when they saw what those hippies were up to on those acid soaked SF streets! -Via Dangerous Minds | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2016 08:00 AM PDT What happens when an artificial intelligence entity is born? First off, the creator does not want to name it Barbara. It has a lot to learn in a hurry, and even though it can absorb the sum total of human knowledge in an instant, it still doesn’t know as much about human nature and the true meaning of power as the average house cat does. This video from exurb1a contains NSFW language. -via reddit | ||||||||

| Parents Build Extraordinary <i>Harry Potter</i>-Themed Nursery Posted: 25 Mar 2016 06:00 AM PDT Well, that's nice. But should you really be pushing Hogwarts so hard? That's a lot of pressure on an infant. What if he wants to go to Ilvermorny or Texas A&M? To their credit, Tiffany Nicole and her husband are at least doing their best to dream big dreams for their child. This is the fourth baby. They've long wanted a Harry Potter nursery and decided that this was the time. The result is a room that filled with quotations, images, and artifacts from Rowling's magical universe.
