Being gluten free is dumb because gluten intolerance may not exist
May 15, 11:59PM
If you have Celiac, this obviously doesn't apply to you. Don't eat gluten. But if you don't have Celiac—and that's 99% of the human population, mind you—there's no reason to be gluten free. You're wasting your time. Even the scientist who started this gluten free craze thinks it's useless to be gluten free. Seriously. People, the father of gluten free think it's bullshit.
These fully-automatic Wolverine claws are as badass as the real ones
May 15, 10:08PM
Holy crap, this guy made the best Wolverine claws replicas ever. These 12-inch steel blades are fully automatic: they can deploy or retract with the push of a button. I've seen many tries at making these, but nothing as amazing as this these ones. And for sure, you can use these as real—very—mortal weapons.

This Diver Is Cradling a 12,000-Year-Old Skull in an Underwater Cave
May 15, 10:00PM
Inside a cave so deep and dark it's called Hoyo Negro, or Spanish for "black hole," divers are transporting a 12,000-year-old skull for 3D scanning. The skull belongs to one of the oldest and most complete skeletons ever found in the Americas. Lucky for us, the expedition was documented with an entire set of stunning photos.
A Massive Dose of Measles Virus Wiped Out This Woman's Cancer
May 15, 9:40PM
Stacy Erholtz didn't have many options to treat her blood cancer left when she agreed to being injected with the equivalent of 10 million doses of measles vaccine. Hours later, she was vomiting and feverish. Months later, her cancer was gone. This landmark result—if replicated in larger clinical trials—could open the door to new therapy that uses viruses to target cancer cells.
An Artist Who Uses 3D Scanning To Upgrade Renaissance Sculptures
May 15, 9:20PM
They say that good artists copy and great artists steal—but artist Barry X. Ball sort of does both with his semi-unique sculptures that start where classic renaissance-era sculptors left off. The original pieces are recreated as digital models using a detailed scanning process, and then enhanced or augmented in 3D modeling software to either complete an unfinished work, or simply add to an already well-known piece.
Fearless guy walks and dances barefoot on a crane in terrifying video
May 15, 9:09PM
Mustang Wanted—one of those fearless daredevils from Eastern Europe that climbs any structure with no safety measures whatsoever—has definitely one-upped himself in this new video. I just can't believe what the guy does starting on the 1:13 mark. It made me gasp in disbelief—and fear.
You're Always Guaranteed a Seat On the Subway With This Backpack Chair
May 15, 9:00PM
Riding the subway at peak hours is often a well-orchestrated ballet as you and your fellow passengers jockey for position to snatch up seats as they become available. But why go through that struggle every night when you can just wear this folding backpack chair to work every day and guarantee yourself a place to sit during your commute?
Chipotle's Putting Essays On Its Cups So You Can Brain Up At Lunch
May 15, 8:40PM
Sitting at a fast food joint eating by yourself is, at best, kind of boring—what are you gonna watch/read/stare at? Chipotle's new cups and bags, printed with original essays from writers including Malcom Gladwell and Toni Morrison, give you some reading material with your eating material that's maybe more interesting than a nutritional chart. Maybe.
This Lock Disables Steering So Your Bike Can't Be Ridden
May 15, 8:00PM
Most bike locks are designed to make it harder to remove your bicycle from a rack, and they're often an effective deterrent to thieves. But when bolt cutters render them useless, the Stemlock serves as an extra layer of security by preventing a freed bike from actually being steered and ridden away.
Is It Scientifically Possible for Godzilla to Exist?
May 15, 7:40PM
Thanks to the newest iteration of the Godzilla franchise, there's been quite a bit of chatter recently about everyone's favorite giant, murderous lizard. But isn't being able to take on the beast a moot point if he can't technically exist in the first place? Thanks to a little help from science, Vsauce has our answer.
Colbert Follows In Amazon's Crazy Patent Footsteps and Patents Patents
May 15, 7:20PM
Last week, we reported on the bizarre patent that Amazon was granted for photographing products against a white background. You might jump to condemn the actions of Amazon and the US Patent Office, but Stephen Colbert is smarter than that. He's getting in on the action.
A Snowboard With Headlights Keeps You On the Slopes All Night Long
May 15, 7:01PM
There are very few sports you can't play at night, thanks to the magic of gigantic stadium floodlights. But if your hunt for fresh powder leads you to the dark side of the mountain after the sun has set, careening down the slopes blind is a terrible idea. So the ever-innovative folks at Signal Snowboards decided a pair of snowboards upgraded with headlights would be much safer.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is mysteriously shrinking in a dramatic way
May 15, 6:52PM
Scientists have noticed something dramatic happening in the Solar System: Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot, the crimson monster storm that once was so large that it could eat three Earths, is mysteriously shrinking at high speed. Now it's only the width of one Earth. Would it disappear in a few decades?
Oh Great, Now the Drought Could Be Causing Earthquakes in California
May 15, 6:40PM
As if the drought couldn't get any worse, geologists now think that changes in groundwater could be destabilizing the infamous San Andreas Fault. The new research presents what one may call, as the SF Public Press put it, "a grand unified theory of California problems: drought, water use, and earthquake risk." Translation: sucks to be you, California.
Why Life Before Anesthesia Made Doctors More Caring
May 15, 6:20PM
In 1812, the English novelist Frances Burney described her mounting terror as she prepared to undergo a mastectomy without any anesthetic. Having two hours to wait until the dreaded event (her 'execution', as she put it), she wandered into the room where the operation was going to take place and 'recoiled'. In an effort to control her fear she 'walked backwards & forwards till I quieted all emotion, & became, by degrees, nearly stupid – torpid, without sentiment or consciousness'.
How to Yell at the FCC About How Much You Hate Its Net Neutrality Rules
May 15, 5:57PM
In spectacularly bureaucratic fashion, the FCC just voted to start the formal consideration of its horrible net neutrality rules. That means the floor is now open for public comment, and the future of the internet is at stake . In fact, it's up to you. "But how do I comment?" you ask, "How do I politely but firmly express my rage as a member of the public?" Let us show you the way.

May 15, 5:45PM
There are car chargers, and then there are car chargers. This model from Mpow features two USB ports, and 20W of power, which means you could charge two full-sized iPads at nearly full speed at the same time. At $7, why not?
Japanese Architects Are Uniting to Stop Tokyo's Heinous Olympic Stadium
May 15, 5:40PM
We knew that a cadre of famed Japanese architects were... unhappy with Zaha Hadid's design for the 2020 Olympic Stadium in Tokyo. But we didn't quite realize how pissed they really are: A petition to stop the project, started by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tokyo Ito, already has nearly 14,000 signatures.
The Scientific Case Against Vibram's FiveFinger Running Shoe
May 15, 5:21PM
Last week's class-action settlement by Vibram, an Italian footwear manufacturer known for making silly-looking lightweight running shoes, recalls the recent case against Sketchers, a company that agreed to pay out $40 million after falsely claiming that walking in its product would give you Kim Kardashian's bootie. The difference between the two cases, as much as there is one, appears to be the readiness with which we, the public, consume the scienceish PR from running shoe companies. So let's take a look at the actual science that was on trial.
A Round Ping Pong Table With a Spinning Net Makes College Even Harder
May 15, 5:20PM
The average college student spends the majority of their time either playing foosball or ping pong. It's arguably one of the most vital skills you can leave higher education with, but it's important to keep improving yourself after graduation. And that's why this round ping pong table with a net that's free to spin is a must-have.

May 15, 5:08PM
We're getting reports that Adobe's ID services have been offline for nearly a day—which seems pretty excessive! Twitter, naturally, is less than pleased. So tell us, dear readers, have you been having problems logging into Adobe products?
Truck transported on a ropeway going up a 5,400-foot mountain
May 15, 5:04PM
Linthal 2015 is one of the most fascinating power projects going on in the world right now. When finished, this 2.35-billion-dollar pumped storage system will be able to generate as much power as a nuclear power plant—1,480 MW. The only problem is that there are no roads connecting the construction sites, so they have to lift all heavy machinery using a ropeway.
One Man's Insane Plan to Make Oculus Rifts for Chickens
May 15, 5:00PM
Problem: Too many chickens don't have room to roam around and be happy. Solution: Strap virtual reality headsets onto said chickens so they think they're free-range. No seriously, an assistant professor at Iowa State University seems to think this is a good idea, but he has to be kidding. Right? RIGHT?!
You Can Crush Nuts and Rebellions With a Tie Fighter Nutcracker
May 15, 4:40PM
It's far from being the first Star Wars-branded nutcracker to come from Lucasfilm and Disney's marketing machine. But there's a good chance that even casual Star Wars fans won't mind having this screw-type nut destroyer sitting somewhere in this kitchen.
