Cool photos of Raptors firing missiles from their hidden weapons bays

I like these old photosof F-22 Raptors firing AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles from their hidden weapons bay. Especially the way this one curves looking for its targets, photographed from the top at the firing range over Point Mugu, California. The ones belowshow the very first time that a Raptor fired an air-to-air missile. Check out as…

They should have featured this absurd star-studded skit at the Oscars

The funniest thing that happened yesterday involving famous actors didn’t happen at the Oscars. It was this trailer for a fake movie featuring Ben Kingsley, Gary Oldman, Mandy Patinkin, Kevin Spacey as Keyboard Cat and Chistoph Waltz as Hamster on a Piano. It’s hilarious. At least seeing some of my favorite actors ever doing completely…

Ellen DeGeneres used an iPhone backstage instead of that Samsung

The Oscars 2014 feel like (are?) a commercial for Samsung, with Ellen DeGeneres flashing a Galaxy Note and taking selfies left right and center. It’s ridiculous. Backstage? She actually used her iPhone, of course. PR people will never learn. I really don’t know what were they thinking. DeGeneres is a well known iPhone fan.She even…

Crazy tower design takes people in glass pods on a roller coaster loop

The winner of Turkey’s Çanakkale Antenna contest was pretty damn crazy, but some of the runner-ups are even more insane. Like this 328-foot-high (100-meter) design that would have taken passengers in glass pods on a roller coaster loop.

Insane tower design launches people on an awesome roller coaster loop

This 328-foot (100-meter) structure wasn’tthe winner of the Çanakkale Antenna contest, a communications tower that will be built in Çanakkale, Turkey. This makes me sad because it looks like a lot more fun to me, even if those glass pods wouldn’t move through that loop at roller coaster speeds. I guess the pods would take…

What the hell is this giant Russian car?

According to English Russia,a Russian guy designed this car using a 3D modeling software. Then he and his friends got a Nissan Maxima “as a source for some parts” and built it. Looks like an all-terrain batmobile to me. Why can’t Russian keep building insanely dumb stuff like this instead of trying to start World…

Cool photo: Boarding an amphibious assault ship seems like a lot of fun

From the US Navy: “Marines assigned to 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit enter the well deck of the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard.” That looks like an amazingly fun ride to me. A lot more fun than this: Sgt. George Cardenas, an explosive ordnance disposal technician with the Maritime Raid Force, 11th Marine Expeditionary…

Ukraine’s government says that 2,000 Russian soldiers have already invaded their territory as the tension…

This is Dan, a 38-old-year old woodworker from Maryland who claims he has only eaten pizza for the last 25 years. Cheese pizza. Exclusively.

I wish they made this amazing version of Dune

“Alejandro Jodorowsky’s unbridled enthusiasm for the project doesn’t seem to have waned in the thirty years since he began assembling what might be the greatest story never told on the silver screen,” says Jordan Kushins in Gizmodo.

Spot-on Muppets ad replaces everyone in New York with Animal

If you leave aside the fact that The Muppets are shilling for the world’s crappiest brand of tea, this TV commercial in which everyone in New York gets replaced by Animal from the Muppets is absolutely brilliant. Because the truth is, my friends, that everyone eventually turns into Animal in this city. “Out of my…

Confirmed: Dark chocolate is good for your heart. Really good.
