New Zealand television is so far behind — Just when you think Japanese game shows can’t get any better, they go and invent a game where bikini-clad babes attempt to be the first to melt a phallic piece of ice by any means necessary. Why? Believe me if I could speak Japanese I would tell you:
A Japanese game show pits girls against one another to see who can melt a dildo-shaped piece of ice the fastest. An alternate title of this post would be “A Japanese girl’s instructional guide to giving blow jobs.” – Peggy Wang
And God said, “Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you shall call him DOG.”
Not quite Gattaca, but getting there. Australian police have caught an armed robber involved in a 2001 crime thanks to DNA evidence from a leech. GOODNESS I LOVE LEECHES!!!
Police found a leech at the scene of a robbery in Tasmania eight years ago. They took a sample of the blood the leech had consumed. In 2008, Peter Alec Cannon was arrested on an unrelated drug charge. The DNA from his blood matched the blood from the leech!
Cannon would probably have got away with the crime had he not been charged with drug offences late last year, and asked to give a DNA sample – which matched that from the crime scene.
Detective Inspector Mick Johnston, who was involved in the police investigation from the start, said Cannon’s conviction validated the use of DNA technology.
“It’s a testament to DNA evidence and the legislation that allows us to keep such evidence in relation to unsolved crimes – this is a fantastic result,” he said.
Heartrending plight of the albatross chicks who call the Great Pacific Garbage Patch home:
The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent. – Chris Jordon
Photographer Chris Jordan has published a series of images identified as dead albatross on Midway Atoll whose bodies are filled with bits of plastic they ingested.
Informative, but all this does is make me really hungry:
ABB Robots installed by RG Luma are helping specialist food company Honeytop to speed up its pancake production and improve health, safety & hygiene. William Eid a director of Honeytop comments “This is our first investment in robotics technology and we have not experienced a single issue sincethe installation 6 months ago”
Forget “COPS“. You want a great impression of New Zealand, check this short 42 second video out; “Police Ten 7“, New Zealand’s own real-life cop series:
EPIC WIN! This guy is a kiwi legend! Seriously, I mean there’s already a T-shirt in the works. That’s fame for us kiwis.
3 o-clock in the morning that pie has been in the warming draw for probably about 12 hours it will be thermonuclear.
Awesome creature designs make for an equally awesome animation. It seemed slow at first, but this animation picks up speed as it goes along. Enjoy:
This amazing animation is a wonderful combination of real public space & cardboard animation filmed stop-motion, by Dutch animator Sjors Vervoortwith audio by Steven Aerts.
Remember the epictrailerfor Daybreakers? Well here’s the poster, just as epic:
Set in a future where most humans have become vampires. With the world’s blood supply dwindling, most living humans have been corralled into massive blood farms, while the few who have managed to evade capture try to find a cure for vampirism, aided by Willem Dafoe and an undead Ethan Hawke.
