So, What’s Satan Been Up To Lately? 

Well, he’s been modeling for this statue that’s (hopefully) gonna be placed next to a Ten Commandments statue on the lawn in front of Oklahoma’s state capitol, courtesy of those noted holiday-cheer-spreaders, the Satanic Temple.

Only The World’s Sexiest Hacker Can Save Us In Blackhat

It’s not at the level of absurdity of, say, casting Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist inThe World Is Not Enough, but I do have to look somewhat askance at the recently crowned “Sexiest Man Alive” Chris Hemsworth as the only computer hacker with the skills — sorry, skillz — to prevent the hackpocalypse in…

This Two-Headed Israeli Salamander Is Kind Of Freaking People Out

A University of Haifa ecology lab that collected wild specimens of an endangered salamander got more than it expected, when one of the salamanders gave birth to an offspring with two heads.
