The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Demons End

What? Everybody’s cool with monkey knife fighting but put one up against an unholy giraffe with a katana and suddenly people are yelling, “but it’s got an unfair height advantage,” “where’d that monkey get an Under Armor hat?” and “why is that giraffe breathing fire?” None of that matters, only who’s neck is left intact…

A Movie Will Show Graphic Sex Scenes By Digitally Imposing Actors

Nymphomaniac, a movie directed by Lars von Trier (he did Melancholia), will use a groundbreaking digital editing technique to show graphic sex scenes on the screen. For the non-explicit portions of the sex scenes, you’ll see celebrities and actors you recognize. For the penetrative portion, you’ll see the body doubles doing it. The difference is…

The NFL Is Going to Be Using Microsoft Surface on the Sideline

Wow, A Guy Plummeted 40MPH off a 1,000 Foot Cliff and Survived

Don’t watch this video. No, seriously, it’s really rough. The best thing is that Matthew Gough, the guy who plummets while base jumping, actually survived the fall with only minor injuries. He hit the ground at 40mph from a 1,000 foot cliff because his parachute malfunctioned. The footage is taken from his helmet cam. Daredevil…

We’ll seriously miss Warehouse 13

Now that Warehouse 13 has been consigned to the same fate as Eureka — tying off loose ends and then going away for good — each episode is a reminder that this show is still seriously fun, and quite agile. Last night’s episode was mostly a standard “artifact of the week” outing, but it packed…

The Creator of the GIF Says It’s Pronounced JIF. He Is Wrong

Along with whether or not Al Gore invented the Internet, figuring out the correct pronunciation of GIF is one of the earliest questions of the Internet. I grew up believing it was hard-G GIF.

The Only Character in Revolution Who’s Still Worth Rooting For

I can’t bring myself to complain about Revolution any more — about the fact that this show isn’t living up to its fun, swashbuckling pilot and also doesn’t seem to be about anything, other than “war is awful and soldiers are bad people.” So here’s a tribute to the show’s best character instead. Yep, talking…

When Pets Get Drafted: The Bizarre History of Animal Soldiers
