The 6 Cutest Animals That Can Still Destroy You If animals could talk, they would spend most of their time calling us dicks and telling us to get off their land. The traits we think of as "cute" are often simply tricks animals have developed to get tourists to throw them food. Here are six animals that you'll probably want to steer clear of, no matter how adorable they look on that wall calendars. Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) How cute! Now have a look at this: Hippos are practically the very definition of Disney-cute. For chrissake look at them. OH SHIT! There's this word, "territorial," that nature takes pretty seriously. The next time you settle in for a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos, take a moment to to reflect on the small fact that hippopotamuses kill more humans per year than any other animal in the entire continent of Africa. Perhaps you've seen this pic: That is not in fact a man and a hippo doing a live reenactment of a cartoon they saw. The man who toyed with crocodiles, was scared shitless of hippos. How cute! OH SHIT!

Ghosts of World War II: Paris (6 photos + interview) As the stunning follow-up to the incredible set we called The Ghosts of World War II's Past, Sergey Larenkov has just released new photos - this time on the occupation of Paris circa 1940. In November 2010, Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta organized an exhibition of Sergey's work in France. While there, he decided to make a new set dedicated to that country, from the start of France's occupation to its ultimate liberation. He even traveled to Omaha Beach, Normandy, the site of D-Day and the decisive stage in the liberation of Europe in World War II. It's interesting to note that this 40-year-old St. What inspired you to start this series? What's the reaction been like? Do you only use Photoshop or do you use other tools? Where do you get your old photos from? How long does each picture take you? What did you hope to achieve with these photo-in-photos? Any last words? This is just the first part of Sergey's France project (there's much more to come).
21 Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped (Part 8) #9. If Who Framed Roger Rabbit Was Directed by Michel Gondry Via Wexas.com What looks like a Lego building cropped into a nature photograph is actually a real building that sleeps four adults. Hovering in the middle of the forest just outside of the Arctic Circle, the bafflingly named "blue cone room" is part of the Treehotel. It's not the Treehotel's only room that will make your brain sneeze forth from your ears. #8.

6 Ancient Sports Too Awesome For the Modern World It's amazing how crazy people get about sports these days, especially considering how much sports suck compared to what they used to be. No, we're not talking about the 1940s when football players wore leather helmets. We're talking about the ancient sports where Viking rape was a trophy and "crocodile death" had its own slot on the scoreboard. Mesoamerican Ballgame Long before soccer (and smallpox) took pre-Columbian America by storm, the official sport of Ancient Mexico was an odd game that the Mayans called pitz. "I don't know what this game is or why the hell we're playing it." The "Game" Mesoamerican Ballgame was a lot like volleyball, except the ball involved was nine pounds of solid rubber. Players had to keep the heavy bastard in play by bouncing it off their forearms, hips, elbows and (if you're a sissy) bats and rackets. Face blocks, while legal, cannot in good conscience be recommended. The Mesoamericans included one final draw to wow their crowd. How is that "Insane"? "Yes."
PhreakVids.com - Videos Related To Phreaking The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth Remember when we said Aokigahara was the Niagara falls of suicide? Well, for centuries the abbot in the small Czech town of Sedlec has been the Niagara Falls for dead people, regardless of cause of death. Ever since someone sprinkled soil from the Holy Land on the local cemetery in the 13th century, people from all over Europe started demanding to be buried there and the Sedlec graveyard kept growing until 1870, when the priests decided to finally do something about all those surplus bones lying around. Something insane. Bam! Chandelier full of bones! Today, the Sedlec Ossuary is a chapel famous for being decorated with tens of thousands of human bones. We realize this is the Czech Republic and all, but it has been 27 years, surely Poltergeist was released out there already. At this point, does it really surprise anyone that the church became the inspiration for Dr. A hotel? Come on dude, don't be a pussy, this place looks legit. We also would've accepted "Our nightmares."
Some Moral Dilemmas The Trolley Problem, not in Grassian. Suggested by Philippa Foot (1920-2010), daughter of Esther, the daughter of President Grover Cleveland, but of British birth because of her father, William Sidney Bence Bosanquet. A trolley is running out of control down a track. This is a classic "right vs. good" dilemma. The Costly Underwater Tunnel Compare: 112 men were killed during the construction of Hoover Dam on the Nevada-Arizona border (the "official" number was 98, but others had died from causes more difficult to identify -- or easier to ignore -- like by carbon monoxide poisoning): The first to die was a surveyor, J.G. with a return to a completely unfamiliar Earth, against what seems to be genuine love for Preston, with a life in what actually are rather comfortable circumstances in the spaceship.
The List Blog 10. Why are dogs committing suicide by jumpingoff the Overtoun Bridge? The Overtoun Bridge is an arch bridge located near Milton, Scotland, overthe Overtoun Burn. A burn is a term used to describe a type of streamwhich is smaller than a river. Milton is a village in West Dunbartonshire,which is just on the outskirts of Dumbarton. The long leap from the bridge onto the waterfalls of the Overtoun Estatealmost always results in immediate death. There have been a number of theories as to why dogs are choosing to endtheir lives by jumping off the bridge, ranging from the bridge being hauntedto the canines suffering from depression, or even picking up depressed orsuicidal feelings from the bridge. It has been suggested that the height of the bridge’s granite walls significantlyimpairs the dogs’ sense of sight and hearing, so when they go to investigatethe smell, they are unaware of the massive fall that awaits them. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4.
