Finally, a Shark With a Laser

Relax, Dr Evil. Your inspired request for “sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached” has finally been fulfilled in the real world. Yes, it’s time for you to lay awake in bed at night and run the permutations over & over in your head about just how this will effect your self-esteem levels next time you [...]

Nano Quadrotor Swarm

Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. If Cyberdyne Systems is going to appear anywhere, my money is on Pennsylvania. These cheeky little bots have been taught to fly in various formations and switch between those formations in three dimensions. It’s just a matter of time before [...]

Smoking’s Good For You (and a bunch of other stuff)

Every week we read that something we believe is bad for us actually has beneficial health effects. This week it’s coffee, before that it was pizza – and every other day it’s red wine. But can these stories really be true? That depends how you interpret the facts. To [...]

I’m Rick Perry and I Approve This Message.

Faith made America strong–according to the Fascist mind of Rick Perry–and Rick Perry’s here to make it weak. As weak as his idiotic mind that hearts religion but lacks tolerance. Surely, somewhere in those doctrines there’s something about turning the other cheek (doesn’t matter where that cheek is on the body) and embracing your fellow [...]

Peace Talks

Words vs bullets – who’s going to win? Well when they’re flying out of two guys’ mouths then probably the words, at least according to this world-wide appeal for ‘International alert’. These two might want to take a closer look at their diet, whatever it is they’re eating is causing some strange symptoms. Thank god [...]

Glastonbury Festival: The App

But as ever with Glastonbury there’s so much going on, it’s difficult to know what to do with yourself. Which is where this handy app comes in. Featuring customisable line-up, interactive map, [...]

Girl Prays to Cause Japanese Earthquake

As if the devastation befalling Japan isn’t heartwrenching and appalling enough, there’s always one sick, twisted individual looking for attention. And in this instance it’s this douche-faced girl, praying to an absent God for the death of 1000s of individuals. Or just trolling the world? Either way, just how is a person supposed to fap [...]

North Korea – Hell March

The North Koreans marching along like a mass meeting of cub scouts and girl guides with military equipment from the dark ages has something deeply unnerving and yet fascinating about it, the synchronized precision is SCARY, enough to freeze your bones solid. So ronnery.

Browsing Street Level Imagery Fight!

And in the red corner, Google Street View, and in the blue corner, the new challenger, Microsoft’s Street Slide. It’s going to be an ugly fight, some may never come out alive, but it’s going to be interesting that’s for sure. From looking at this video it looks like Google may have their work cut [...]

The Economic Hitmen

Secret empires, the Military Complex, The Bilderberg Group – where the current British PM David Cameron was a guest in 2009, and his Chancellor George Osbourne was a guest from 2006 – 2009. What it’s all about, aye? It must all have something to do with the low fat yoghurt conspiracy…

Mothers Have Right To Expose Milk-Engorged Breasts In Public

The title’s a mouthful (don’t excuse the pun, celebrate it), but they make a good point. If women want to expose their breasts in public, mothers or not, then we should embrace this and champion it, men are allowed, right? Do you know why men have nipples? It regulates body temperature. It’s true.

Scientists Teach Gorilla It Will Die

Now that it’s aware of its own mortality will it succumb to existential angst? Develop religion, a drug habit? Build a rocket to the moon? Or will it just sullenly drag its feet, get a bangs haircut and start listening to Fall Out Boy? What have they done to this poor creature!t

Mrs. Robinson (The Remake!)

I love politics, well, thats not entirely true, but we seem to be hearing the word ’scandal’ quite a lot recently and thats when politics gets VERY interesting! Here’s a cheeky little parody of Simon & Garfunkel’s famous tune, based on recent political events in Northern Ireland – Middle-of-the-road politicians & music mix superbly!
