What if the iPhone Was Responsible for the Evolution of Man?

Meet the entire cast of 1950s greaser Batman’s Gotham City

A wee while back, we featured Italian artist Denis Medri’s designs for a rockabilly take on the Dark Knight. Since then, he’s expanded his roster with some inspired 1950s Americana reinterpretations of Gotham’s heroes and villains.

Can You Turn Cheap, Shitty Beer Into Good Beer?

You know what’s great about cheap, shitty beer? The cheap part. The end. Sure, it’s fun to be nostalgic about the first beer you ever drank or whatever, but if someone leaves a bunch of crappy beer in my fridge, I just want to use some kind of magic spell to turn it into something…

There’s a good chance you’re a human chimera

Chimerism, the phenomenon of having parts of a body made from a completely different being, is a much more common occurrence than previously thought. Are you a mother? Were you gestated by a mother?

Sulfuric acid dehydrates sugar. That sounds pretty tame, until you see that “dehydration” means that a huge, black, sugary pillar crawls up out of the beaker and comes after you.
