Check out Skeletor Saves, a He-Man-themed art show for a good cause (NSFW)

Skeletor is known for his nefarious schemes, wheezy laugh, and for being a 1980s fashion iconoclast (after all, he more or less invented the hood/loin cloth/ram’s skull staff combo). And next week in New York City, Eternia’s public enemy number one (and his more virtuous friends) will serve as the aesthetic inspiration for Skeletor Saves,…

For your brain, romantic rejection is the same thing as being physically burned

When your sweetheart dumps you, there’s a reason why it hurts so much. It turns out your brain registers the psychological hell in exactly the same way it registers physical pain.

Why Do These Breathtaking Russian Images of Earth Look So Different from NASA’s?

While this morning’s orbital image of Mercury is historic, these two images are the ones that have truly left me in complete awe today. Even more so than the most accurate, highest resolution view of Earth to date. https://gizmodo.com/this-is-the-first-image-ever-obtained-from-mercury-orbi-5787137 But unlike Blue Marble, these images are not by NASA. In fact, they look a lot…

AT&T’s Fake 4G Phones May Actually Get Real 4G Soon

It’s been well documented that AT&T’s 4G phones aren’t just slow—their upload speeds are often slower than its 3G network. So what happened to that extra G? Turns out it’s not the network itself that’s borked; it’s the phones. AT&T has intentionally crippled the Motorola Atrix and HTC Inspire—the carrier’s only fourth-gen network phones—by actively…

There’s No Use Snapping Retro Photos if Your iPhone Doesn’t Look Retro in the First Place

For $35 you can snap up a one-of-a-kind iPhone 4 case, carved in either bamboo, walnut or zebra wood. Most of SigniCase’s cases have retro cameras on the backs, but there are some plain designs (and an Eiffel tower) as well. [Etsy via @WhatKatieDoes]

How Re-Animator: The Musical makes intestines attack people, live on stage

The stage version of Re-Animator was supposed to end its run the other day, but it’s been extended until the end of May. Unlike Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, Re-Animator: The Musical is a low-budget DIY affair. But that doesn’t mean the special effects are weak. Director Stuart Gordon (who also directed the film) has…

The Mysterious, Cursed Billiards Room Hiding Under an English Lake

It’s like something from a children’s mystery book—a hidden wooden door, which leads you down stone steps and into a boat for a short underground row to two large doors—and then, into the cavernous ballroom hidden under the lake; green algae coating the tiny windows speckling the dome. According to those who’ve dug into Witley…

Could Amazon’s Cloud Player Be Illegal?

Amazon may argue that functionally, their Cloud Drive service is the same as storing media on an external hard drive, but question marks hover over their Cloud Player, which streams those tracks from the cloud.
