This helicopter lifting a giant cannon is not a video game still
Dec 28, 2:00AM
It looks like Call of Duty. It's not. It looks like a movie. It's not. Instead it's an incredible photograph of a Marine Corps Super Stallion Helicopter taking off with a M777 howitzer in the California desert. In real life. What a powerful image. The helicopter is lugging the 7,500 pound 35 foot long monster of a weapon like it's nothing.

Why do so many galaxies in space look like this?
Dec 28, 1:00AM
Flat. Like a streak across space. Thin. Stretched out. How come whenever we see galaxies, they always look like this? NASA has the answer. And it has something to do with how a ball of dough becomes pizza.

A Band Called Death: Preemininent Punk Rockers, Forgotten Then Found
Dec 28, 1:00AM
Discovering music is a way different game in the digital age, when new artists and tunes are a mere mouse click away. Before algorithms were responsible for instantly introducing new faves into the mix, recording demos and hustling for radio play was a key factor in building buzz and gaining new fans. A Band Called Death is an incredible documentary chronicling the raw punk sounds of trio of brothers trying to break into the biz in 1970s Detroit, the group's dissolution, and their subsequent, fortuitous rise to recognition and fame after three long decades.

How did a toy car magically appear behind these two pieces of paper?
Dec 27, 11:00PM
In this illusion, a toy car seemingly appears from no where. How is that possible? Well, the car was always there. Really. It's a simple but masterful trick, the toy car is programmed to travel along a designated route while the red cards are shown off as a distraction. As one card is shown to reveal nothing behind it, the other card is covering the moving toy car. What you're seeing is what you're allowed to see.

This Alpine House Looks Like It Was Beamed Down From Outer Space
Dec 27, 9:00PM
Sure, the larch-wood cladding gives Ufogel a kind of rustic charm, but I'll be damned if this Austrian guest house doesn't really look like it just beamed down from a quaint corner of outer space.

Ice climber impossibly survives a punishing fall from ice wall
Dec 27, 8:17PM
Ouch. That has got to hurt. Ice climber Mark R. was climbing up a mountain when he was sent plummeting down by a piece of falling ice that hit him. He then basically avalanches down the mountain side and hits every rock down the way. It's like a scene from Game of Thrones but completely real. And even more insane because Mark R. survived.

It's Christmas Day. You've carefully wrapped the Beats headphones your daughter's been dreaming of, and she's just about to see that dream become a reality. You look on with glee as she tears the paper from her brand new set of cans only to find that these cans were not the cans she was looking for. These cans, it seems, were filled with tuna.
