Difficulty Sleeping? Try Sex.
Though humans sleep away about one-third of their lives, sleep science is relatively new. But the latest results show that sex trumps sport as a sleeping aide.

The bigger the cushion …

Overweight women are more likely to have had sexual intercourse than thin ones, research has found. In a study of 7,000 women 92 per cent of those who were overweight had slept with a man. The figure was only 87 per cent among those of a “normal” size. The research, carried […]

Spaced Out Jewelry

At $9 each, these awesome Space Invaders tags are outrageously expensive for a cutout of vinyl connected to a little string of aluminum pearls. Never the less, a fantastic idea: with the proper engraving, they can be worn as the dog tags of the ragged space marine from the 8-bit Earth invasion to […]

Amazing Octopus Footage
Nice video of a mimic octopus. They can also immitate other creatures like crabs and fish, this species was not even discovered until the 90’s because any sightings were assumed to be something else.

 
Lie Detector Head Band
 In the wake of immensely growing crime around the world, the best way out to nab a criminal is the use of an accurate lie detection test. The Narco test is one way of lie detection done nowadays. However, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel have come up with a […]

Escaped Rhino Drill
As one you YouTuber put it: “Any simple task in Japan requires the effort of tens of aging men dressed in fluorescent jackets and hard hats.”

The Rolls-Royce Of Waterbirth

A face driven by music - Video 3
This video was created by sound artist, Daito Manabe, front man to the Face Visualizer designed by Masaki Teruoka and built by Katsuhiko Harada. No, the music is not controlled by facial contortions. Rather, Daito-san’s face is twisted to the music via electrical-pulse stimulation — 10 channels in […]

 The Deluxe Muffin even comes with its own hamster wheel
Each week we try to find the most unusual photos in the world. At the same time, we begin to scream, do crazy Norwegian dances, argue amongst ourselves, and even eat artificial vegetables in an effort to devise an appropriate caption for the photos. It is […]

 
 
Here’s A Drink That’s A Scream
 In keeping with the spirit of the season, here’s something to help you get drunk that also doubles as a creepy prop. It’s a Skull Beer Funnel with spinal column attached. If you’re the Predator, just pass on this one and go rip your own from some human. Humans, it’s […]

 
When a dog needs to take a Wii on Halloween
These Wii dogs win any costume contest hands paws down. Now I have a burning desire to see a Wiener dog as a Wiimote. While the dogs look thoroughly humiliated, this sort of thing pleases humans.

 
 Doggy Mansion
Yes, you can design a Swiss chalet for your St. Bernard and have it built to your specifications. Your dog or cat can have his own house, excuse me, his own Pet
Mansion, that’s the spitting image of your home. The only thing is… no sub-prime mortgages on the Pet Mansions.

Rare Retile
A rare reptile with lineage dating back to the dinosaur age has been found nesting on the New Zealand mainland for the first time in a rare tuatara.
A rare tuatara has been found in New Zealand (Agencies Photo) about 200 years, officials said on Friday.

Boat-loving seagulls will have to poop elsewhere if a team of high school students have anything to say about it. The team, named Vanish Productions, recently won the top regional prize in New Zealand’s Young Enterprise contest for their Ultrasonic Bird Repeller.

Look At All The Seagulls

 
Today I bring to you Halloween business ideas, surprise, surprise.
I have to say, I was disappointed to find that while the holiday itself is weird and wacky, the corporations that surround it are pretty usual. They range from haunted houses, to event planners that will decorate and provide spooky catering for your party, to costume […]

Scary R2-D2
Capping off our day of Halloween costume roundups is everyone’s favorite droid, R2-D2. Artoo joins the iPhone, the folks at BioWare, and fellow robots on this haunted day at DVICE.

Creepy, Crawly Cochroaches
I wonder what Juliet would have said about cockroaches. Would she say,
“What’s in a name? That which we call a cockroach
By the name ‘cafard,’ is it not still creepy as hell?”

This Will Be Lost In Translation…

It took Christian Bok 7 years to write Eunoia - the word is the shortest word in the English language containing all five vowels.
Eunoia means “beautiful thinking” and it’s a very fitting title to Christian’s book, in which each chapter uses only one vowel!
From CHAPTER A - FOR HANS ARP:

At Least They Are Golden

South Korea’s Constitutional Court ruled yesterday that only the visually impaired can be licensed masseurs in the country, upholding a law set up a century ago despite arguments it infringed on free employment rights.
The law was established in 1912 when Korea was under Japanese colonial rule to help guarantee the blind […]
