Freak of the Week : Best Fossil Ever

I've seen plenty of fossils myself, well at least on TV screens and on rare times, in person. The T-Rex's fossil used to be my favorite, especially when it was given life in the movie Night at the Museum. But now, this is my new favorite. [via National Geographic News]

Armadillo fossil? Nope. This is an ancient crocodile fossil

found is Sao Paolo, Brazil. Awesome.

Auto Tune the News

If our congress sessions works just like the way this video works, with all the singing and Auto Tuning, I'll likely file my certificate of candidacy when the time comes. By the way, the lyrics of the song are really what they are talking about when they were in session. Nice, neat job right here. [via mental_floss]

Boyet in Wonderland

I haven't been posting a lot of stuff lately mainly due to a very stuffed schedule that hinders me to do extensive researches. Despite of that, I have been very obsessed of the thought of buying an action figure that can be posed, then snap a few pictures of it.

So I went to the nearest Toys-R-Us, looked on the shelves, and found my new companion, who I named Boyet. He's a G.I. Joe character, but I don't know him because I haven't watched that not-so-recent film. So my new time-waster is here. Whenever I have time, I will be posting a new pose of Boyet. See you next time.

The Cost of Technology

We oftentimes hear that keeping a rare piece of item, even if it's cheap, will one day appreciate in value. See how these legendary fathers of modern technology turned out. [via I-Am-Bored]

Playing with fire

This man, resembling Jesus, touches the Olympic flame. And maybe gets arrested.

Freak of the Week: Camouflaging

The photo below depicts a lady posing nicely, with all the artistic painting and those bright colors. The question is, is it REALLY a painting,  or a real life model? Click the image to enlarge and see for yourself. [via reddit]

The Real Facebook

Would you still be on Facebook if you turn out like this? Great Photoshop. [via Gizmodo]

The Future of Jocks and Nerds

There will always be at least one bully and one geek in a class. They say that they would have a different story, but really in the end, it's like they are meant to be. The comic below agrees. [via Cracked]

Night Launch of Space Shutte Endeavour

6 days ago, the Space Shuttle Endeavour was launched and was bound to go to the International Space Station. The Space Shuttle's mission was to bring the Tranquility module which will provide extra room for space station astronauts.

Pictured below is a well-exposed photo of the launch time itself, creating a very artistic light trail. It was featured as the Astronomy Picture of the Day for February 13. Click here for the original article.

Check out the launch of the space shuttle itself after the cut.

Flipbook Awesomeness

I've pretty much created my own flipbook animation, but they were usually just a few pages long, and oftentimes consisted of stickmen in peril, usually being crushed to their death. But this one is really jaw dropping and time consuming indeed. Great work.

Penelope Cruz in Pirates of the Caribbean 4

Penelope Cruz is in negotiations to join Johnny Depp and sail the seven seas in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," the fourth installment of the movie series being directed by Rob Marshall.

Depp is reprising his popular role of Captain Jack Sparrow, and while plot details are buried deeper than Blackbeard's treasure, it is known the tale revolves around the Fountain of Youth. [via The Hollywood Reporter]


Whoa. So it looks like Keira Knightley won't be back and have more escapades with the new Davy Jones, Orlando Bloom. Dang I forgot his movie name. Being a big fan of the franchise, I think the next installment might be an overkill. Taking into account what transpired at the third installment, which I think made the story great because it was open ended, I'm starting to think that the 4th installment is just another way to revive the thought-to-be finished franchise and rake in more cash. I can't wait for it though.

Lightning Coolness

Lightnings are one freak of nature. I still get googly - eyed whenever I see a bolt of it just slice the sky. Then I came across this video of it, but in a slower motion. Totally cool.

We did it our way

Remember how we told someone not to sing "My Way" when in a karaoke bar because it might get you killed? Well, that enigma that have puzzled us for a long time has gained a little attention from..wait for it..The New York Times. Yes it did.  There, the author tried to deduce on why "My Way" has got many people killed. One logical explanation that he pointed out is that "My Way" is a very popular song here in the Philippines, making it the one of the most picked song. Couple that with booze and the very competitive nature of us Filipinos, and we got one hell of a violence. Here is a snippet of it:

The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”

Epic Group Pic Fail

Everyone usually does this, posing in a firing squad line and then having someone take their photos the moment they jump. It takes precision and accuracy when doing this in an ordinary point & shoot digicam. Just like this set of gals. But this one is an epic fail. [via I-Am-Bored]

Freak of the Week: WTF Exam Answers

So yesterday, my blog was officially one month old. I'm not into the whole "month-sary" thing, and because I'm still moping about how my grades will turn out this sem, I wasn't able to post anything yesterday. But today, to make me feel a little light about my exams, I found the following photos. I wish I could do them in a major exam. See more after the jump or visit Funny Exam's website.

Get your tongue twisted

A certain Dutchman named Dr Gerard Nolst Trenité created this poem which will prove that English is a tough language. This is the corrected and updated version of The Chaos. Read it out loud, and see how good or bad you really are when it comes to the English language. Forgive me if the spacing or the overall look of the poem is not pleasing, I just copy pasted it from Spelling Society, so be sure to visit the original article here. Read out the next stanzas after the cut. [via Mental_Floss]

The Chaos

by Dr Gerard Nolst Trenite 

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,

I will teach you in my verse

Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;

Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear;

Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.

Thoughts on the iPad

Apple just got their one chance of being one god company, but they blew it by releasing the iPad. Not that the iPad is a terrible product, but jeez, it just failed to meet consumer expectations. Having read a lot of speculations around the internet and seeing tons of photos that resemble what the iPad might look like, I too lusted for it. But then on release day, it sucked ass.
