On Forever, It’s Time to Tie Henry Up and Beat Him. For Sexy Reasons.

Welcome to the obligatory dominatrix episode! Do you think she’ll have chemistry with Henry and have titillating scenes involving whips and chains? OF COURSE SHE WILL. Forever’s not the kind of show to mess with that formula. I kid, but I actually kind of wanted the dominatrix to stick around and be Henry’s sweetly besotted…

Behold all the crazy new pizzas from Pizza Hut’s brand new menu

Pizza Hut is launching a brand new menu on November 19th and it sounds nuts. The options are so crazy—like Ginger Boom Boom and Get Curried Away crust and Honey Sriracha sauce—that I’m not even sure the word pizza can adequately describe it. I mean, there are more than 2 billion different pizza combinations now.…

This Blood Sensor Isn’t Quite A Tricorder, But It’s Pretty Damn Close

Star Trek’s tricorder is up there with flying cars and hoverboards as one of those futuristic inventions that always just seems a few years away. We’re not quite there yet, but this sensor, which can diagnose diseases from a single drop of blood, is a pretty massive baby step. The rHealth X, manufactured by Massachusetts-based…

This Lego Lamborghini V12 is a battery powered masterpiece

Earlier today, on Reddit, So-lou posted a Lego engine that her dad has been working on. With the lovely way that the wiring bundles down the sides of the engine from a single distributor, I can only assume that this will eventually be an amazing replica of the engine from a Lamborghini Miura. It kicks…

Startups Can Now Buy Insurance Against Patent Trolls

Probably the worst thing about America’s very broken patent system is the existence of patent trolls: companies that own intellectual property for the sole purpose of using it to sue other, actually productive, firms. Unfortunately, whilst big-name tech firms are generally able to defend themselves against the threat of a frivolous lawsuit, smaller companies often…

Could These Modular Print Heads Be What 3D Printing Really Needs?

Bringing 3D fabrication tools directly to the consumer has been fraught with challenges; these at-home printers are either insanely expensive or limited in scope. A new concept called FLUX claims that it’s solved all those conundrums with an all-in-one 3D printer that offers modular extruders for ultimate flexibility. Is this the game-changer we’ve been waiting…

These Are Nintendo’s New Pokémon-Inspired Handhelds

‘If at first you don’t succeed, release a transparent Pokémon-edition model’. That’s Nintendo’s (frankly flawless) logic behind two new and very transparent 2DS models, which are being released alongside new Pokémon games. The original 2DS launched late last year to mild confusion and mediocre sales. It’s basically just a 3DS, but in a non-folding, slate-like…

Everything you need to know about the Cold War in a 9-minute animation

These cute animations that teach you about our history are just the best. Partly because I love history, partly because the cartoon drawings make me laugh and partly because I really think I’m learning more than I ever did in school.

Does Our Universe Bear the Scars of a Collision with Another Universe?

Though many physicists believe it’s possible that our universe is one of many in a multiverse, they struggle to find concrete evidence to back up that hypothesis. But now, we may find that evidence — if we look for the wreckage left behind by a collision of cosmic proportions. Illustration by Olena Shmahalo Over at…

If you don’t know the restaurant Alinea, know this: it’s one of the best restaurants in the world and it’s as much a mad science lab and art museum as it is a place to eat dinner. It’s crazy, I mean they serve things like edible helium balloons. Somehow, this normal guy recreated all of…

A word of advice. Even though he seems a little smaller than other dragons, he can still outthink you. And don’t go near that mouth. Just don’t. Deiv Calviz is a concept artist and illustrator in Makati, Philippines. You can see more of his incredible work on his website.

Fascinating comparison of the top 10 causes of death in 1900 and 2010

This chart by the New England Journal of Medicine compares the top causes of death in the United States in 1900 and 2010. The shift is fascinating—in little more than a century, humanity has eradicated so many diseases. Others, however, have increased, like cancer and heart disease. I wonder if these increases are due to…
