Amazing 0g music video

This music video by OK Go was shot during 0g flights and cleverly edited together. Couldn't embed the video because Facebook sucks, but do go and see it.

Here's more about how it was made.

Lost at sea: the man who vanished for 14 months

I think this is the world record.

In November 2012, Salvador Alvarenga went fishing off the coast of Mexico. Two days later, a storm hit and he made a desperate SOS. It was the last anyone heard from him – for 438 days. This is his story

KUNG FURY

One of the best half hours in recent movie history :).

A movie made possible by Kickstarter. You really want to see how the wolf riding was done.

RESTORE THE ENTERPRISE BRIDGE

This is an ongoing project to entirely restore an official Star Trek Next Generation Enterprise Bridge set that Paramount created in the late 1990′s to be used for display, after the ORIGINAL TV Set was COMPLETELY DESTROYED in the film STAR TREK:GENERATIONS. This replica set was created under the supervision of Herman Zimmerman and Michael Okuda.

Check out their website newstarship.com, it's amazing.

The Kickstarter they were running is already 200% funfded.

The predecessor of modern forms of football

I've mentioned this game before, but thought I'd give a source and some context.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_football
Medieval football is a modern term sometimes used for a wide variety of localised football games which were invented and played in Europe of the Middle Ages. Alternative names include folk football, mob football and Shrovetide football.  

These archaic forms of football, typically classified as mob football, would be played between neighboring towns and villages, involving an unlimited number of players on opposing teams, who would clash in a heaving mass of people struggling to drag an inflated pig's bladder by any means possible to markers at each end of a town.

By some accounts, any means could be used to move the ball to a goal, as long as it did not lead to manslaughter or murder.

 Shrovetide is still played in one British town.

CACTUS!

Epic prank calls :)

Mortal Kombat returns to form

You all probably remember the awesome ultra-violence of Mortal Kombat. I hadn't yet seen some of the fatality footage of the newest Mortal Kombat. And wow, this shit is pretty gruesome.

Maybe too gruesome? :)

If you're feeling like more gore, you can see them all here.

Renewed Respect

Since our last vacation I have renewed respect for waves like these:

Hurcules the Liger, the largest cat in the world

Video of Hercules, also featuring some other hybrids.

As an interesting comparison; the polar bear is the largest carnivore on earth. Adult males weigh 350–680 kg and measure 2.4–3m in length. Hercules the liger weighs 450kg and is around 3.7m in length.

Bear Grylls turns a dead seal into a wet suit

Bear is awesome. I wonder how viable this technique is, couldn't find much about it on the Googles.

At least it's a quick way to die.
Apparently eagles can also pwn wolves:
