| 7 Athletes Who Had Their Olympic Medals Revoked Posted: 04 Aug 2016 04:00 AM PDT Imagine that you went to the Olympics and did not win a medal. Ten years later, you are notified that you won a medal after all! That’s what happened to the U.S. women’s gymnastic team of 2000, when the Chinese team’s bronze medal was revoked over one athlete being disqualified. Medals don’t get revoked often, but they make big stories when they do. The case of Jim Thorpe is the most familiar, even though it happened over 100 years ago.
Read about several other cases in which Olympic medals were revoked -two of them because of a bad attitude during the medal ceremony- at mental_floss.  | ||||||||
| Sense Of Allegiance - Pledge Your Support To The Ones Who Save Us All Posted: 04 Aug 2016 02:00 AM PDT Sense of Allegiance by Dixon Designs Spidey has a hard time ignoring his spider sense, because it's almost always right and refuses to go away so long as Spidey is still in danger. But before he became embroiled in the Civil War he had no idea that there was another sense guiding his actions- his allegiance sense, the sense that makes him the most loyal superhero in the city. And unlike the spider sense, the allegiance sense appeals to the man on levels which make him feel like he's going to lose his super friends if he doesn't respond quickly. But which side to choose? The Captain has a good point, and America wouldn't be the great country it is without freedom, but Iron Man has enough money to make Peter Parker's life a living hell... Help Spidey make up his webheaded mind with this Sense Of Allegiance t-shirt by Dixon Designs, it's the funny way to show support for those superheroic folks who save our lives on a daily basis.

| This Totally Rad 80s Video Dating Montage Will Melt Your Heart Posted: 04 Aug 2016 01:59 AM PDT Before there was online dating there was a horrible train wreck called video dating, where single men and women sat in front of a video camera and recorded a brief statement to entice potential partners. These videos were then shown to singles who could pick and choose who they wanted to date based on visual impression, allowing them to find their match made in heaven among those video dating stars. However, people weren't used to being in front of a camera all the time like they are today, so many of these video dating profiles were painfully awkward to watch. Video dating enthusiast and love fan Jameson Murphy clipped together this montage of prime 80s hunk meat straight from VHS to show us how good daters have it today. -Via Meme Base | ||||||||
| Posted: 04 Aug 2016 12:00 AM PDT There sure was a lot of dancing in movies back in the 1980s. And it wasn’t just Flashdance, Fame, and Footloose -they all had dance scenes, if for nothing else, to show how joyous the happy ending was. Master editor Robert Jones put together a supercut of dancing in ‘80s movies to the tune of Lionel Richie’s 1986 hit “Dancing on the Ceiling.” I am almost embarrassed to admit that I’ve seen virtually every one of these films. Even the bad ones had some good dance moves. But oh, those fashions! -Thanks, Robert! | ||||||||
| Guy Live Tweets While His "Insane" Co-Worker Quits His Job Posted: 03 Aug 2016 10:00 PM PDT Quitting was a far more private thing before social media made it easy to share stories from our daily lives, so if you choose to quit in spectacular fashion expect to see it posted online. But what are we to think when some guy named Dan Hopper live tweets his co-worker's epic quitting meltdown even though that co-worker claims none of it ever actually happened? We're supposed to shake our fists and say “you got me again, ya darn internet hooligan!”, which is probably how people reacted after reading a few of Dan's “live tweets”. Dan's whole story started to fall apart when he sent this tweet: Hard to tweet indeed, Twitter is obviously so easy to use any bored office working twit can do it!

| Posted: 03 Aug 2016 07:59 PM PDT Don’t you just love it when kids look for loopholes? They start this as soon as they understand language and rules, and it continues until they become adults and figure out that parents know best, most of the time. I have one child left at home who is eighteen, and she thinks she doesn’t need to keep me informed of her whereabouts or expected arrival home. Fine, I said, but if you can’t tell me when my car will be home, you can drive your own vehicle, which you don’t have. This is the latest from John McNamee at Pie Comic. | ||||||||
| Do Trees Communicate with Each Other? Posted: 03 Aug 2016 06:00 PM PDT Trees are connected to other trees around them by a network of fungi underground called a mycorrhizal fungal network. Chemicals are sent from tree to tree through the fungus, in a kind of communication that can take hours to detect and centuries for humans to even notice. If this were only a transfer of chemicals, we wouldn’t call it communication, but new research led by Dr. Suzanne Simard of the University of British Columbia shows that trees send different chemical messages to each other depending on conditions. For example, when researchers shaded one tree, a nearby tree of a different species began sharing nutrients with it. But trees prefer to share with their close kin.

| Posted: 03 Aug 2016 03:59 PM PDT A mama bear took her two cubs down to the beach to play and maybe give them a swimming lesson. What’s strange is that this is Lake Tahoe, on a public beach, where many humans were also enjoying the water. These are black bears, which are less aggressive than brown bears, grizzlies, or polar bears, but a mother with cubs can still be dangerous if you get too close. -via reddit | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Aug 2016 02:59 PM PDT Go ahead and sup from the bowl--if you can bear the flames. DeviantART member aviceramics, who previously wowed us with her shark sushi plate and shark chip bowl, made this eye-popping soup bowl showing a raging dragon erupting from your food. She was inspired by the scorpion bowl, a group cocktail that is traditionally lit with a flame in the center. | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Aug 2016 02:00 PM PDT In April of 2015, Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments, decided to phase in a minimum salary of $70,000 a year for his employees. He himself took a huge pay cut. The announcement was a sensation. Then there was backlash, in which other business leaders were scandalized, Price's brother sued him, clients got nervous, and some of the better-paid employees grumbled about losing their financial seniority. But a year later, business at the firm has doubled, attrition is way down among both clients and employees, and they’ve hired 50 new workers. Employees have been able to do things like move closer to the office and start families. So the rank-and-file got together to give Price a gift of a Tesla, a car they knew he was enthusiastic about. Price was quite touched by the gesture. -via Viral Viral Videos You can read more about Price in an Esquire article out today. -via Dan Price | ||||||||
| Artist Reimagines Characters From Super Smash Bros. 4 In Mayan Style Posted: 03 Aug 2016 01:00 PM PDT Artists are constantly reimagining pop culture characters in Asian (mostly Japanese) art styles, but there's a great big world full of other styles out there which are constantly being overlooked. That's why these Mayan art inspired versions of Super Smash Bros. 4 characters by Tucson-based artist Sita Nava are a breath of fresh air, standing out in a sea of ninjas and samurai. The characters, and their powers, are still easy to identify in the Mayan glyph style, and Sita's inclusion of traditional Mayan fashion and symbols complete each character's Mesoamerican transformation. -Via Kotaku | ||||||||
| 34 Facts About Olympic History Posted: 03 Aug 2016 12:00 PM PDT There's only two days to go before the opening ceremonies for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio. From the ancient Olympics and the 100+ years of modern Olympics, there’s a lot of trivia to tell, from origins to cheating to the changing events and athletes. Mike Rugnetta gives us those stories from Olympic history, in this week’s episode of the mental_floss List Show. | ||||||||
| Men Of Science - Wubba Lubba Death And Destruction...For Science! Posted: 03 Aug 2016 10:00 AM PDT Beware men of science who still insist on wearing white lab coats and look a bit off, because they're probably pursuing scientific goals no human was meant to pursue! Super science is like a drug, and as soon as a scientist who is not yet mad starts splicing DNA, creating giant critters, etc. that god-like power instantly goes to their head, and they're hooked! They start putting the entire planet at risk, and gross stuff happens to people's genetics, maybe a lobster doctor is involved if it's the future, and BLAMMO! The Earth is buried under a crapstorm created by crackpot scientists who have watched too many B-movies. Rick Sanchez, Hubert Farnsworth and Algernop Krieger- remember these names everybody, because they're probably going to be the ones responsible for destroying the world! Go all scientifical with yo bad self, grab this super geeky Men Of Science t-shirt by Everdream and start living like those animated mad scientists you idolize. But beware- real life isn't like the cartoons, and contagions are not cute...

| 20 Ways People Are Making Money From Pokémon GO Posted: 03 Aug 2016 07:59 AM PDT When you first saw people outside playing Pokémon GO, you might have thought, “What is this? It looks like fun. I want to try it!” But some folks’ first reaction is “What is this? And how can I monetize it for my own benefit?” Entrepreneurial types quickly figured out how to provide goods and services to avid Pokémon GO players, in quite a few different ways.
Others, too, figured out various needs of Pokémon GO players and went to work to fulfill them, for a price. Not mentioned are the criminals who just take money and phones from distracted players. Read about how lots of people are cashing in on the Pokémon GO craze at Money Inc. | ||||||||
| Comedian Fixes Flags From Around The World Posted: 03 Aug 2016 06:00 AM PDT Some people see a bunch of eye pleasing shapes and colors when they look at a flag, others see symbols that represent a country, but comedian Jack Douglass sees a problem. Jack has taken it upon himself to fix all those totally wrong flags being used by countries around the world, and his efforts may lead to world peace in our time. Okay, so maybe the world peace thing was a pipe dream, but at least the Vatican now has an amazing new flag! -Via Tastefully Offensive |
