What It Would Look Like: If Everyone On Earth Was Piled Into The Grand Canyon

all-human-on-earth-in-pile.jpg This is a rendering depicting what it would look like if all 7.159-billion humans alive on earth today were piled into the Grand Canyon. It would suck to be on the bottom of that pile. Or anywhere in it, actually. Because I am NOT showing up for everybody piled in the Grand Canyon picture day. I am going to spend that day robbing as many banks as I possibly can. Then when everybody gets home and returns to normal life they'll be all, "Oh shit, who is this GW character and where did he get 4-trillion dollars?" And I'll be like, "I did the stock market." They will believe me, and I will name myself supreme ruler of earth. And I will demand monuments be erected in my honor. And I want them to be gigantic titties that can be viewed with the naked eye from my moon-base. "Wow." See? I would make a great leader. Keep going for the whole video from VSauce discussing how many things there are in the universe (SPOILER: a whole bunch).

Meskel Square, A Massive Free-For-All Traffic Intersection

Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome Meskel Square, A Massive Free-For-All Traffic Intersection

free-for-all-traffic-intersection.jpg This is a video shot above Meskel Square in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It's a massive free-for-all traffic intersection. From what I gathered, you just drive until you almost hit somebody, wait for them to move, then speed off again. The pedestrians though -- they're the real warriors here. I'd feel safer crossing the street in a slingshot. Keep going for the impressively sane insanity.

Phillies Fans' Reactions To Dan Uggla's Grand Slam Are Amazing

Deadspin Phillies Fans' Reactions To Dan Uggla's Grand Slam Are Amazing

Your most compelling sports video of the year comes from ESPN, which caught these Phillies fans taunting Dan Uggla—then being rudely interrupted by Uggla's grand slam. It was brilliant enough (seriously, great job ESPN) but we took it a bit farther with extreme slow motion.

CIA Tortured Prisoner With Red Hot Chili Peppers According To New Senate Intelligence Committee Report

It’s so tempting to make jokes about this, but it’s also a truly fucked up situation: As Al Jazeera reports, a recent Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA’s Guantanamo Bay prison reveals that the CIA has recently used music as one torture instrument among many. The report centers on the Saudi prisoner Zain Abidin [...]

The ridiculed Comic Sans typeface gets its dignity back with Comic Neue

The ridiculed Comic Sans typeface gets its dignity back with Comic Neue


Craig Rozynski is an Australian designer who took upon himself to dignify the most ridiculed and beleaguered typeface in the world: Comic Sans. He turned the horrible typeface into an actually attractive typeface: Comic Neue. It's a miracle.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Faces Soda Box Display

ninja-turtle-soda-display.jpg This is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed soda box display at some grocery store somewhere. You know, sometimes I wish I'd pursued a career in soda box displays. People would travel from all over the state to see my latest creations, just like in Charlotte's Web. "That's a penis." IT SURE IS. "Just like last time." Maybe to the untrained eye, but this one is fatter than the last one. Plus I did the balls a little different. Thanks to MXC, who agrees the best sodas are grape, red cream soda and orange, in that order.

Make Your Own Civet Coffee

For years, I’ve been wanting to try the delicacy known as Kopi Luwak–or Civet Coffee–which comes from the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Bali. The coffee is made by feeding beans to wild civets and then, after digestion, collecting the beans (along with the feces) which take on wonderful flavors because of fermentation in the [...]

I really enjoyed reading on Uni-Watch about Cleveland Indians...





I really enjoyed reading on Uni-Watch about Cleveland Indians diehards who’ve removed the ethnic caricature Chief Wahoo from their Indians gear. Some remove it perfectly, some leave the evidence of the removal behind - a sort of ghost. It reminds me of the silhouettes of slave life incorporated into the now-closed National Slavery Museum. Just as folks who acknowledge the legacy of slavery don’t love their homes any less, these folks still love their team, even if they don’t love this grotesque symbol.


Certainly a lesson about the power of clothing.

Cleveland Indians Fan In Redface Meets A Native American

Deadspin Cleveland Indians Fan In Redface Meets A Native American

Cleveland Indians Fan In Redface Meets A Native American

For all the shit we give wrong idiot Dan Snyder, there's really no question that Cleveland's Chief Wahoo is clearly and by far the most ridiculous mascot in sports. A bunch of fans have been "de-chiefing" their gear for a few years now. This guy went the other way.
