Jun 15, 1:13PM
Telekinesis isn't real, but you can fake it if you really put your mind to it. Conceptual artist Lisa Park did just that and surrounded herself with vibrating pools of her own brainwaves. But her final trick, total brain silence, turned out to be just a little too hard to fake.

Jun 15, 4:00AM
I'm pretty sure having students play their heinies like bongos for the enjoyment of their instructor is illegal in at least 15 states, regardless of the lesson plan. And let's not even get into the desk licking, or the bra tearing, or the riding crops *shudder*

If you go deep inside the desert or climb a mountain or find yourself in the South Pole or a remote farm or any place that can be considered 'the middle of no where', guess what? You have no internet. Well, Wired is reporting that Google wants to change all that by sending high-altitude balloons into the stratosphere to give the world Wi-Fi. Whoa.

Jun 15, 3:00AM
Here's a silly little invention that is wonderful because it'll either make you more drunk or more human, preferably both. It's a beer glass. Huh?

If you want to be a human and talk to people? You can sit your beer down perfectly fine.

Do you remember the good ol' days when YouTube didn't have any ads yet? Or the slightly worse but still pretty good days when there weren't any annoying pop up ads that stayed on top of your video?

Facebook is finally going to come clean. Or well, as clean as the government will allow it to.

Of course, the numbers are completely unspecific but that's not exactly Facebook's fault, it comes with the territory.

Watch Flowers Dipped in Liquid Nitrogen Get Smashed in Slow Motion
Jun 15, 1:00AM
If you're a human, you've probably always been fascinated with liquid nitrogen. The freezing temperature. The sweet smoking effect. Hell, even the container that held liquid nitrogen was cool. And if you combine liquid nitrogen with slow motion, things get even better. Watch flowers and fruit get dipped into liquid nitrogen and then smashed into smithereens in slow motion. It's like seeing breaking glass explode. [Distort via Test Tube]

So What Would Happen if Superman Punched You in the Face?
Jun 15, 12:13AM
Man of Steel is out and if you want to get your eyes pummeled with insane fight sequences, I suggest you watch it. But what if Superman actually wanted to pummel your face instead? What would a punch by Superman feel like? A lot worse than even getting punched by Mike Tyson.
