86,000 square miles of Great Britain meticulously recreated in Minecraft

There are those with free time, and then there’s Joseph Braybrook. This fine bloke managed to recreate some 86,000 square miles of Great Britain within the Minecraft universe, and moreover, it took but a fortnight to concoct. Further justifying his work as more than goofing off, he used Ordnance Survey terrain data in the world’s construction, leading Graham Dunlop, OS Innovation Lab Manager, to proclaim the following: “We think we may have created the largest Minecraft world ever built based on real-world data.” The new universe contains over 22 billion Minecraft blocks, and once players have downloaded the 3.6GB file, they’re free to build at will. Just don’t go planting any US flags — that’s just downright rude.

The Chinese Face-Kini: Wrestling, Robberies, and Sun Protection!

The wonderfully innovative country of China has come up with a creation that will surely change the way the world operates!  Now, instead of applying sunscreen to your face, (which is a huge pain), you can protect yourself and look like an axe murderer/criminal/Nacho Libre at the same time!  Who would’a thunk it, am I right?

My first thought: run, and run as fast as my small, stunted legs will carry me.  My second thought: “Man, I thought they were both guys at first.”  But, since my thoughts are generally boring offensive to others, I’m not going to share any more of them.  Not without a price tag, anyway – seems like my thoughts are getting more and more valuable to those around me.  I think of myself as a sort of… wise sage.  “I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.”

The Face-Kini may be kosher in China, but I can guarantee that you’re going to get a few things if you wear this at an American beach: crying children, inquisitive life guards, and a challenge to a wrestling match from La Chalupa Mas Sexy and El Caballo Violente.  Spoiler: you’re going to get your face kicked.

To me, this would easily ruin a good day at the beach.  How?  Everybody’s wearing their fashionable new Face-Kini and I couldn’t fit mine on over the third chin.  Yeah, you didn’t hear?  CHINA OWNS THE WORLD.  You buy what they manufacture, Face-Kini or no Face-Kini.

If you enjoyed the Face-Kini, that’s kind of weird, but you should go check out the Happy Smile Trainer and the Noodle Slicing Robot when you’re ready for another dose.
