Listen to the Butt Song from Hell written on a 500-year-old painting

One section of Hieronymus Bosch’s massive triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights depicts a hellish chorus singing a song painted on the buttocks of a sinner.

Listen to Hieronymus Bosch’s 500-Year-Old Butt Song From Hell

In any other painting, a naked butt tattooed with a musical score would be the first thing you’d notice. But it’s just another detail in Hieronymus Bosch’s masterpiece, The Garden of Earthly Delights—which explains why it’s taken someone 500 years to try to play it. Bosch’s famous painting is a triptych that depicts heaven, earth,…

Who knew illuminated manuscripts contained so many fart and poop jokes?

Memory Foam: Everything There Is to Know About NASA’s Butt Protector

1966, the folks at NASA wanted to nestle pilots’ tushies. Pilots worked hard, they risked their lives, they deserved a happy backside.

Ass/Boobs-Shaped Airbag Turns Car Accidents Into Even More Shameful Experiences

This Takata airbag design is… interesting. Essentially, if you get in a car accident your face will be thrust quickly between two giant, inflatable ass cheeks. Or are they giant breasts?
