Money Won't Save SpaceX's Moon Tourists If Something Goes Wrong

Diver Getting His Teeth Cleaned By Fish Is Viscerally Upsetting
Hey buddo, I get it. Going to the dentist is no fun and fish need to eat. It’s logical—symbiotic even. And fish aren’t going to chastise you about cavities, or drinking too much coffee, or not flossing. And they won’t try to talk to you about classic cars while inside your mouth (looking at you, Dr. Gershon).

Do Not Watch This Slo-Mo Video of a Dude Sticking His Tongue in a Mouse Trap
Everything is usually way cooler in slow-motion. An amazing football catch, a kick-ass movie fight scene, a gravity-defying skateboard trick—but apparently that logic doesn’t apply to some dude sticking his tongue in a loaded mouse trap. If you don’t cringe in horror when watching this, then you’re not human.
I Used To Be Too Scared To Check These Books Out of the Library
I remember the exact place where they were kept. They hovered together, trapped tightly between two wood slabs until they could be freed. I tried to ignore them, but they called out to me, over and over, in a deep low-pitched moan. Aliiiiiiiiissa. Aliiiiiiiiiissa.

The Nopest Cat Is Here for All Your Gif Needs

Protect Against Sneaky Webcam Spies With This Little Pair of Magnets

The teensy, torn bit of paper looks janky as hell, but it works. …
Earthling worms can be as disgusting as alien face huggers
Blood Worms. They look like gentle earthworms until they extend their mouths and show their teeth made of atacamite, "a copper-based chloride biomineral." Their poisonous bite is painful for humans and kills whatever prey they find in the shallow marine waters where they live.
HTC Touch HD Pretty Much Never Coming to the US
No amount of oohing, aahing or drooling can convince HTC to bring this 480x800 monster to American shores, according to the Taiwanese company. That's a shame, because it was looking pretty good. The company passed the news on through Twitter, which is the corporate equivalent of breaking up with your girlfriend with a…
