No One Wants an Arachnophobia Remake, But James Wan Is Giving Us One Anyway

Arachnophobia is one of those movies that gets scarier the less you remember it. Because you want to forget. Because it’s giant spiders. Sadly, Amblin Entertainment won’t let us forget, as it has teamed up with Aquaman director James Wan to remake the 1990 horror comedy. As reported by Deadline, Amblin and Wan’s Atomic Monster…

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

On Monday, SpaceX founder Elon Musk announced that for the first time in history, it will be sending two private citizens on a trip around the Moon, in a Dragon 2 spacecraft.

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,…

Some Guy Found a Huge Chunk of 2,000-Year-Old Butter in a Bog and It’s Still Edible

A 2,000-year-old orb of butter weighing 22-pounds was recently discovered in Co Meath, Ireland. Ancient butter experts believe that it was once offering to the gods. It’s also “theoretically… still edible” according to Andy Halpin, one of the Irish National Museums’ assistant keepers. Not a chance, Andy! If the age of this dairy meteor or…

Watch How Terrifyingly High LA’s Skyslide Will Be

After being trucked to downtown LA from the fabricator in nearby Orange County, the Skyslide…

Guy Had No Idea This Enormous Bristle Worm Was Living in His Fish Tank

How could anyone go two years without noticing something this huge? Well, humans have been around for 200,000. Bristle worms and their polychaete brothers have survived five mass extinctions. Many aquarists fill their tanks with live rock, i.e. chunks of coral that still harbor biological and bacterial matter. Bristle worms often piggyback on these corals,…

Climbing a 1,500-Foot Radio Tower Without Safety Gear Is Stupid for So Many Reasons

Climbing something this high is concerning to begin with, but intentionally doing it without safety equipment borders on suicidal. Not only do you risk the obvious by doing unassisted solo climbs, but according to uploader Urban Adventures, “it’s easy to die from things you can’t see like radiation and electrocution.” So just add that to…

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. You can’t help but feel a…

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. In third grade I discovered these three books of short stories…

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. As Don Garvey describes, they are used as bait for fishing:…
