| Dog: "Are We There Yet? Are We There Yet? Are We There Yet?" Posted: 02 May 2016 04:00 AM PDT This black Labrador is on his way to the park. He's in a hurry and acts like a backseat barker in response to his human's slow driving. He's just like a kid. -via Nothing to Do with Aborath  | ||||||||
| Four Marines, Then and 50 Years Later Posted: 02 May 2016 02:00 AM PDT
These two photographs were taken 50 years apart. On the left, best buddies Dennis Puleo, Tom Hanks, Bob DeVenezia, and Bob Falk were taking a break from Marine training on a California beach. All four friends reunited for the first time in decades to recreate the picture on Cinnamon Beach in Florida.
After their Vietnam tours, the four went their separate ways, and only last month did they all get together for the first time. Read all about the reunion at the Naples Daily News. -via Uproxx | ||||||||
| Watch as Parkinson's Treatment Calms a Man's Tremors in Seconds Posted: 02 May 2016 12:00 AM PDT This new treatment for Parkinson's Disease is called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). It begins with the surgical implantation of electrodes that send signals to specific parts of the brain. The eletrodes are regulated by a pacemaker-like device in the chest. When activated, the electrodes counteract the tremors. In the above video by the New York Post, Dr. Paul J. Waguespack activates the system in a patient named Mr. Richardson. Once the system is turned on, Mr. Richardson's tremors stop cold within seconds. -via Robb Allen | ||||||||
| The Whimsical Woodsman Calendar Posted: 01 May 2016 10:00 PM PDT
The rise of the 'Dudeoir' trend did not escape photographer Chad Castigliano of Chronicker Photography. He enlisted his friend Tim Wilson to do something positive with it. They put Wilson in his underwear with lumberjack equipment in the woods, and made a calendar called The Whimsical Woodsman.
Proceeds from the calendar go to Books to the Rescue! Yavapai County, which provides books toys, and other supplies to children in crisis situations. You can get a calendar at Chronicker Photography, and see all the pictures at Facebook. -via Buzzfeed | ||||||||
| Wade WilsInception - Stare Deep Into My Mask's Eyeholes Posted: 01 May 2016 08:00 PM PDT Wade WilsInception by Grafx-Guy If you stare into Wade's eyes for too long you're liable to feel a bit queasy, but that's because of his horrifyingly scarred face and not because he's a master of hypnotism. However, he did have a dream one night where his eyes started swirling and everyone who met his gaze fell under his spell, but that probably had more to do with being horny than hypnotism... Pool up your cash and bring home this mind-bending Wade WilsInception t-shirt by Grafx-Guy that's sure to knock your fellow DP fans dead! (Figuratively, of course, because this shirt will do no harm...) Visit Grafx-Guy's Facebook fan page, then head on over to his NeatoShop for more ridiculously cool designs:

| Player Finds Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Easter Egg 30 Years After Release Posted: 01 May 2016 08:00 PM PDT Mike Tyson's Punch-Out was all about timing and rhythm, and every fighter had a secret pattern which Little Mac could use to take down fighters five time his size, even the legendary Mike Tyson. Getting the rhythms down meant memorizing every fighter's moves, but nearly thirty years after its release a Redditor named midwesternhousewives discovered a better way to beat each fighter- by looking to the bearded guy in the audience. In the front row of the crowd about six heads from the left is a little bearded guy who ducks down when Little Mac should punch Piston Honda and finish him off. This Easter Egg also works against Bald Bull, and back in 2009 late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata admitted there was also a camera flash cue in the crowd to tell players when to throw the knockout punch. -Via Nerd Approved | ||||||||

| <i>Ghostbusters</i> in 2 Minutes in LEGO Posted: 01 May 2016 04:00 PM PDT Two years ago, Monsieur Caron of BrickFilm made a LEGO Ghostbusters video that was quite amusing. Now he’s back with a new and improved version that tells the movie’s entire story in just two minutes! You can catch some of the behind-the-scenes images at Instagram, like Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis above, and some other Monsieur Caron projects. -Thanks, Yan! | ||||||||
| This Chinese Riot Control Robot Looks Like An Early Dalek Prototype Posted: 01 May 2016 02:00 PM PDT In the future robots will handle all of our dirty work for us, and may even work in law enforcement so human cops don't get hurt and because people believe they'll do the job more efficiently. But practical and efficient robots don't really inspire fear in people, and when a bot's job is to break up a riot it should have an intimidating profile. So that's probably why the engineers from China's National Defense University went with the Dalek look instead of the C-3PO while designing the “intelligent security robot” they call “AnBot”. The AnBot looks more like a rolling ATM than a security bot, and it's missing the Dalek's awesome eyestalk, manipulator arm and gunstick, so how is anyone supposed to take this thing seriously? Maybe if they program it to say "exterminate!" in Chinese over and over again somebody will pay attention... Read Riot Control Robot Unveiled In China Looks Ominously Like A Dalek here | ||||||||
| Posted: 01 May 2016 12:00 PM PDT Driving a streetcar isn't just a job. It's a way of life that perfects both the mind and body in athletic perfection. SB Nation reports that the tram drivers of Europe sometimes play sports with their cars, including bowling. The greatest tram athletes recently gathered in Berlin at TRAM-EM, the championship competition, to find out who was the best. You can watch a video of their events here. -via The Presurfer | ||||||||
| Posted: 01 May 2016 10:00 AM PDT May first is often called May Day, but that means different things depending on what country you’re in and what century it is. Two posts at the National Museum of American History’s blog explain the complicated history of May Day in America. In the first post, the ancient history of May Day tells how the Roman festival of Floralia collided with the Celtic holiday of Beltane. This made for a nice spring holiday, but was just too pagan for the Puritans that settled America. The former spring rituals, like the Maypole dance, were brought back in the late 19th century. But then labor reformers appropriated the day, as explained in part two.
Two things killed May Day as a labor holiday in the US: the 1886 protest spawned the Haymarket Riot. Then Europe adopted May first as a labor holiday. You can read the history of May Day in America at Smithsonian's American History blog, and otherwise have a happy International Workers Day, Beltane, Floralia, or May Day! -via Metafilter | ||||||||
| 22 Breathtaking Facts About Glamour Shots Posted: 01 May 2016 08:00 AM PDT When mom wanted “a nice picture” of us back in the late 80s and 90s we had to get all dressed up and sit for a portrait shoot at a department store like Sears or J.C. Penney, or a photo studio like Boyd Anderson. We put up with the dorky picture session to please our parents, but not-so-secretly the cool kids (mostly girls) really wanted to get their picture taken at Glamour Shots. This mall portrait studio phenomenon started in Dallas back in 1988, but by the 90s they had a location in seemingly every mall in America, and kids who didn't have a Glamour Shots pic felt left out. Part of what made Glamour Shots so popular were the style consultants who helped you pick from one of six style categories:

| Strange and Beautiful Deep Sea Jellyfish Posted: 01 May 2016 07:00 AM PDT What does this creature remind you of? A space alien? A virus? A cartoon? It’s real, a real jellyfish recorded by an ROV from the ship Okeanos Explorer on a NOAA expedition to the Mariana Trench. This video was taken 2.3 miles below the ocean’s surface.

| Posted: 01 May 2016 06:00 AM PDT ELEMNT, an art studio in New York City, makes luxury, handcrafted goods with marble and leather. Their Darth Vader helmet, which is pictured above, is covered with python skin. It's available in limited numbers, as it takes up to two weeks to make. Each one costs $3,000. It's the perfect way to make Darth Vader even creepier. -via Geekologie |
