The amazing story of two conjoined twins who live happily in India

Shivanath and Shivram Sahu are two conjoined twins who were born 12 years ago in a village near Raipur, in central India. They share the same stomach and two legs, but have fully independent brains, hearts, lungs, and two pairs of everything else. Their life is not easy at all, but they do everything other…

Scientists: Ancient papyrus that says Jesus was married is authentic

Three teams of scientists at Harvard University, Columbia University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have concluded that the ancient coptic papyrus that talks about Jesus’ wife is authentic and not a forgery. The Vatican claimed the latter when it was discovered. The papyrus is called the Gospel of Jesus’ Wife because it contains phrases…

Atomic eggs Benedict burger is the stuff that my dreams are made of

There are no words to express the lust and gluttony I feel about this breakfast: Pornburger calls it the Cali-corn-ication burger, but it’s actually eggs Benedict with a chorizo-based hollandaise, a beef patty with huitlacoche (Mexican corn smut), avocado, ancho rubbed corn, and salty pork rind crumble as crunchy seasoning. All on an English muffin.…

The craziest NASA test ever is this giant supersonic Goldberg machine

NASA is sending new and bigger spaceships to Mars, which means they need bigger supersonic parachutes. So big, in fact, that they don’t fit in any wind tunnel anymore, so their engineers had to find new ways to test them. New crazy ways. Really crazy. In fact, it’s the craziest test they got so far.…

This folded aircraft looks like an awesome spaceship

From this perspective and in their fully folded stow position, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey looks like a some weird spaceship concept. It’s amazing how these things fold. It’s fully automatic too. Here’s a video showing the process: U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Christopher Lindahl SPLOID is a new blog about…

Venice frozen solid looks like a fun place to be

Imagine Venice with all its channels frozen solid. That’s what art director Robert Jahns did, using Photoshop with pretty neat results. I’d like to explore the city skating. SPLOID is a new blog about awesome stuff. Join us on Facebook

Some of the Worst Failed Tech Predictions Ever

From Edison saying that AC electricity was going nowhere to the thousands of journalists claiming that the iPad was going to be a disaster (not me!) the technology world is full of failed predictions. The Week’s Bad Opinion Generator has loads of funny ones, along with other non-tech oriented ones.

Photographer captures awesome halo projected behind his fighter jet

Professional photographer Blair Bunting takes some really awesome photos. He’s also an aviation freak. So much that he has flown in a F-16 twice—and he’s the honorary commander of the USAF 425th FS (Singaporean Air Force). He captured the incredible shot above in his latest flight with the Thunderbirds. Here are some of his photos:…

The terribly sad case of the woman who has fifty orgasms a day

24-year-old Amanda Gryce is having an orgasm in this photo. She has them uncontrollably, up to fifty times a day. It sounds fun, right? Actually, it’s really awful. Even more awful is the fact that she can’t have sex with her boyfriend, per doctor’s orders. Amanda has a rare medical condition called Persistent Sexual Arousal…

These color pencils are actually a color drawing

This is not a photo of a box of color pencils. It’s a digital drawing made from scratch in Photoshop. I wish the artist actually used color pencils to make it—because I love when things come full circle—but I’m equally impressed with his digital brush skills. Here are some screenshots of the process.

What are these giant concrete rings built by the Nazis?

These huge concrete rings were built by the Germans during World War II on the coast of the Barents Sea. For decades, the Soviet military limited access to them after the war was over, fueling speculation about their purpose. Conspiracy theorists and local folk claimed they were test grounds for Nazi wonderweapons and antigravity devices.…

Iconic album covers merged with their real locations in Google maps

The Guardian has a nice collection of album covers embedded in Google Streetview images. I’m surprised they didn’t make Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, but Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Beastie Boys will do it for me. Check out the rest here.

Beautiful video reveals the secrets of a watchmaker

Put on your headphones and enjoy this fascinating view over the shoulder of a watchmaker, full of beautifully crispy closeups of the manufacturing and assembly of a Nomos Glashütte watch.

I want to live in this awesome yacht and roam the world forever

I always wanted to live on a sailboat, but they can be quite uncomfortable. I don’t like motor yachts either, but I love some of the cool floating homes you can see in Sweden or Denmark. Glass—a concept by Lujac Desautel—seems like a great hybrid, with lots of space and light. Lujac Desautelworks in an…

These pterodactyls combat jets are so damn cool

I love these three concept designs for the combat jets in the sci-fi love movie Is This Heaven, directed by Bastiaan Koch. They look like pterodactyls. Are those flexible metal wings? So cool. I love how the pilot gets into them. Here’s the movie plot: Jack, a soldier in a future war, finds love in…
