From the US Navy: "Marines assigned to 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit enter the well deck of the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard." That looks like an amazingly fun ride to me.

This is something you don’t see every day: Two fighter jets landing simultaneously in perfect synchronization on the same runway.

Buh-bum. Buh-bum. Buh-bum. We all have our own interpretations of what a heartbeat sounds like but here is what it looks like during heart surgery. It looks like it’s rolling in place inside your chest. Pretty amazing.

Here’s a fun trick for pyros (which is pretty much every human ever). As a candle poofs out and leaves a smoke trail, you can re-light it again by igniting the smoke trail. The fire burns down and hits the wick and boom, let there be light.

Imagine a world with countries re-shaped to have an equal population with each other. Some little countries get absorbed to create one large country while other populous countries get their boundaries re-drawn and are split up into a bunch of difference pieces (I’m looking at you China and India). This is what that world would look like. Each country has 100 million people.

Famous cars in movies and TV shows are just as much a character to the story as the actors and actresses. If Batman drove a Volvo or Marty McFly time traveled in a Toyota, it just wouldn’t be the same. They’re iconic. So how many of these cars do you recognize?

wPeaceful isn’t the right word, obviously. Quiet isn’t exactly correct either. Cathartic may be closest. That’s what it feels like to see a fully automatic assault rifle be fired in super slow motion. The bullets come one after the other in a relentless barrage but there’s a certain amount of detachment to its power and danger. It’s like being hypnotized in trying to figure out how the machine works as opposed to being in fear of its power.

This is great. Artist Jake Lockett reveals his progression as an artist from a wee 2-year-old to now at 24 years young in a fantastic collection of his own work. You can see the simple drawings he made at 2 and 3 to the addition of color and imagination a few years later to more sophisticated work around 10 and then finally developing his own style in the more recent years. Artists aren’t all born brilliant.

According to designers numen/for use, this new strange space is a "a self-supporting inhabitable social sculpture," an inflatable cube full of strings ready to be climbed by whoever gets inside. It seems to me like part of the X-Men’s Danger Room.
