I have a confession: I have not watched The Lego Movie yet. I know, I know. I am a terrible human. My childhood self would shake his head so hard. Heck, my adult self is shaking my head at me! I’m going to watch it ASAP now though. Because after watching this "blooper" reel from The Lego Movie, I’m curled up in a ball laughing so hard that my abs will laughercise itself into a rock hard 2×4 red lego brick. It’s just so much fun.

I don’t know what the hell is going on here. Maybe this is the normal training of all special forces in the world. It just looks ridiculous to me. Check out the video and you tell me in the comments.

Fitness trackers are incredibly popular these days. One of these is Fitbit, which tracks your daily activity, the number of calories you’ve burned, your sleep, and so on and so forth.
And then there’s FitBark – an activity tracker for your dog.
FitBark is a bone-shaped activity tracker that’s designed specifically with canines in mind. It can be attached easily to most collars and keeps track of your dog’s activity and energy levels throughout the day. You’ll be able to access on her health and general well-being which will come in useful when she’s sick, because you’ll be able to tell before more symptoms show just by checking her stats.
FitBark was funded successfully via Kickstarter last August 2013. Additional units are now available for pre-order for $69(USD), or $109 for the unit with a base station.

Are movies set in reality? Of course not! Because if they were, everything would be so much harder to do. Killing zombies with head shots? No chance. Having a villain wait to kill you? Never. Easily order a drink at the bar? Come on. Watch Suricate hilariously illustrate the difference between movies and real life in this very funny short.

Animation Domination High-Def continues with its brilliant series of scientifically accurate cartoons. Now it’s time for the Flintstones, a homo erectus family that were common cannibals. Gross and hilarious, as always.

Everyone is talking today about October Jones—the author of Text from Dog—and his commuter photos: He draws alternative heads for fellow train passengers and uses them to replace their real heads in photos so he gets to travel with the Hulk and Kermit.

What do you do to pass the time when you’re on a 16-hour flight? Most people sleep, while others read books or magazines. Some watch movies or TV shows, and there are those who spend their time chatting up the passenger beside them or trying to make eye contact with someone a few aisles down.
For the latter group, there’s Wingman.
It’s an app that’s currently in development. It was thought up by BuzzFeed copywriter Gabe Whaley, who explains what inspired him to create the app: “I’m pretty sure that at some point, anyone who’s flown has had a thought, like, ‘I wonder what it would be like to talk to that person. Too bad it’s never going to happen, because the seating arrangement didn’t provide for that.’ And of course, most people have at least some sort of exposure to what the mile high club is.”
The software is designed to work via Bluetooth in case Wi-Fi isn’t available on board your airplane. You can stay in the loop and sign up to receive updated on their website.

What’s cooler than being cool? Ice cold. Exactly. The Swedish town of Luleå took that saying literally because they formed an incredible ice orchestra called Ice Music that uses musical instruments sculpted from ice—yes, ice—to performs songs inside a concert hall that’s basically an igloo.

When life gives you snow, don’t just make a snowman. Make a giant luge track in your backyard for the whole family! A Dad in Minnesota does that every year to have some fun with winter and the track is pretty impressive with great slopes, windy turns and expertly designed snowbanks. Just look at his whole family slide down. How fun!

Some drivers are horrible parkers. Some are careless, there are others go out of their way to be rude, while some just can’t help it. Regardless of which kind of bad parker they are, they’re still bad parkers all the same. And for that, their cars deserve to be magneted. Okay, so I just made that word up.
Sticking these Do Your Park magnets onto cars might not seem to do much, at least, in the physical sense, but the insults printed on them will send a message that the recipient isn’t likely to forget. Each pack contains ten magnets with an assortment of insults, ranging from subtle to in-your-face cracks about their inability to park courteously.
The Do Your Park magnets are available online for $12(USD). That’s way cheaper than the bill you’ll pay for keying their car.
