The lens allows you to capture unwitting humans of time, without triggering waves of paranoia through their spine!
Step 1: Print a fake license plate on photo paper with a number belonging to a peer or authority figure.
Step 2: Intentionally speed and get caught in the act by an automatic camera.
Step 3: Laugh maniacally knowing your innocent victim will be getting a ticket in the mail.

Burger King has just released its new cologne! In time for the holidays!
The WHOPPER sandwich is America's favorite burger. FLAME by BK captures the essence of that love and gives it to you. Behold the scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat.

Researchers at Binghamton University have developed a new theory to explain and predict yawning behavior, and successfully tested their theory on parakeets.
They claim that yawning is a cooling mechanism designed to regulate brain temperature. Sounds reasonable to me.
Yaaaaaaaaaawn!

Who knows if its true, but supposedly this girl text'ed her dad after losing her virginity on a school trip. I'm sure it was an awkward conversation when she got home.
3 girls who worked at KFC found out a new way to get fired from their jobs by taking a bath in the dish-washing sink (more like a tub). Why they wanted to take do that is beyond me, seems pretty stupid.
Plus, stupid things are always better when they photo or video document it and put it on the web for everyone to see.

Christmas 1988! If the TV is a little fuzzy, just wiggle the antennas.
Welcome to my basement, I've got it wired for Hi-Fi. Check out what's playing in the TV Guide, or flip through the channels to see what's playin'.
Happy Holidays.

A National Geographic article by Joshua Foer that discusses the current understanding of human memory through the lenses of two extraordinary people. One has a memory of perfect clarity, and the other has no memory at all.
I want to take him by the arm and shake him. "You have a rare and debilitating memory disorder," I want to tell him. "The last 50 years have been lost to you. In less than a minute, you're going to forget that this conversation ever even happened." I imagine the sheer horror that would befall him, the momentary clarity, the gaping emptiness that would open up in front of him, and close just as quickly.

Why? He calls himself StarBury! Plus I think it would be f*funny....
An op-ed piece in the New York Times yesterday advocating a laissez-faire approach to the American automobile industry's current troubles.
It's well written, logical, and I find myself in agreement with most of its points. The weird part? It's written by Mitt Romney.
My thoughts in extended.

It's a web and mobile service to help you find the nearest public bathroom. Complete with ratings and photos posted by other shitters.
I might have to get a smartphone just for this.

Gizmodo has a huge post detailing every Lego minifig ever produced, by year. I'm not a huge Lego maniac (like some folks) but even I enjoyed this trip down memory lane.
Actually they seem to be missing a few sets that I'm familiar with, notably Blacktron and Ice Planet. But it's still cool.

Roger Shawyer claims to have developed a spacecraft engine that turns energy into thrust with no moving parts.
Sounds like a dime-a-dozen nut case, except that he's a respected space engineer. And he has a working prototype.
It sounds to me like it violates the conservation of momentum, but my understanding of microwaves is not so good. Anyway it's a pretty good article from the New Scientist.

Youtube video from some nature show about an octopus that mimics other animals.
Some interesting things listed. If you notice about half-way through there's Gobi, which as some may know is something I know a little about :)
I've just discovered that the fantastic director of "Delicatessen" and "Amelie" had earlier done a very cool music video for the Jean Michel Jarre song "Zoolook" (which I also love).

A database engineer named Sam discusses the logistical difficulties that gay marriage presents.
An entertaining read if you happen to be a database nerd.

For those like me who grew up with Nintendo and SNES, Earthbound represented the apex of the 16 bit RPGs genre.
In 2006, 11 years later, Nintendo finally released the sequel, Mother 3. But they only released it in Japan, and apparently have no plans to translate it. So fans volunteered and did it themselves, and now finally the fan translation is finished.
Main link goes to the official translation website, or see extended for a torrent of the whole enchilada.

Shell Oil presents a short video captured by one of their submersibles at a drilling site a mile and a half under water. Have you ever seen a squid with elbows?
