The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: The Mega Plush
Sep 26, 4:00AM
So first we had Teddy Ruxpin, a delightful animatronic pal for little kids. Then we had Ted, the CGI-based, foul-mouthed, binge-drinking pal once those kids grew up. And now there's apparently a gun-toting, Sock Monkey-slaying, cyborg-bear vigilante roaming the streets. Stephen Colbert was right, these things are terrifying.

Different strokes, different folks. Different guns, different countries. Here's a map showing the military issue rifle for each country in the world. You'll see familiar M4s, AK-47s, AK-74s, some M16s and tinkles of other weaponry. Judging by the map's choice of colors, it seems to group weapons that are of a similar family together by color.

Sep 26, 2:19AM
Emoticons are inherently silly. They're text based facial expressions that don't always make sense. Anytime a $ or # gets inserted to an emoticon, no one has any idea what the hell is going on anymore. But! When emoticons capture a feeling perfectly, they're beyond brilliant. A string of words can't even express life the same.

This Animation Makes Stephen Hawking's Ideas Easier to Understand
Sep 26, 1:03AM
Stephen Hawking. Theoretical Physicist. Cosmologist. Smart guy. Beyond genius, actually. Hell, very probably the best brain that us humans have right now. But so much of his intelligence is hard to grasp for less wrinkled brains like us. This animation, made by The Guardian as part of its Made Simple series, breaks down the basics of some of Hawking's ideas about black holes, singularity, gravity, physics, Hawking Radiation and so forth. You might get a little smarter? [The Guardian via Brain Pickings]

Corkscrewing Lasers Could Be the Key to Unlimited Bandwidth
Sep 25, 10:00PM
Conventional data transmission techniques rely on two-dimensional signals to carry the information down a pipeline, but there's only so much potential bandwidth to go around. There are only so many signals you can pack into a given plane before they begin to overlap and interfere with another. But if we were to add an additional third plane, science could conveniently sidestep that technological roadblock. And that's exactly what a team at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has done.
