Holy crap, tiny gosling chicks jump 400 feet off a cliff to survive
If you think Red Bull gives you wings or that buying a GoPro makes your life awesome, I think these tiny little gosling chicks have something to tell you: mother nature doesn't need that for thrills.

Lost In The Train Station short animation should be turned into a game
I imagine some kind of Monkey Island-style adventure game—but side-scrolling, set in huge train/subway stations that would take you through shops and weird fantastic places, with some platformer elements thrown in for extra fun. The stations, from all over the world would be connected through the trains.

If you haven't made it to the movie theater to see Birdman, save some money, stay home, and just watch Biutiful; the filmmaker's previous film that is better crafted in every single way than its more widely-targeted younger brother.

I've seen lionesses hunting in documentaries before but this is the first time I've seen it from their point of view. South African animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson strapped a GoPro to the back of a lioness and captured this amazing footage of the feline hunting a down a waterbuck.

Sixty years ago today, on October 27, 1954, the Disneyland TV show debuted on ABC. The show actually existed before the theme park opened in Anaheim, California on July 17, 1955 and was in effect an advertisement for the park. But oh, what a glorious advertisement it was.
OMFG U Can Search Bing w/ Emojis LOL
The Bing search engine will now give you results if you use emojis instead of words in your search query.
During today's earning's call, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo mentioned that Twitter is "thinking about" bringing ads to TweetDeck. So it may still be a while before we see start seeing ads shoved into our TweetDeck Twitter cascade—if ever. But either way, friends, pray for TweetDeck.
All Restaurants and Bars Should Use Pop-Up Menus
Did you know that some bars and restaurants use menus that are completely devoid of pictures of the drink or entree you're thinking about ordering? It's absurd.

This Lego BMW Isetta is so damn cute
Of Steve Urkel fame, the Isetta has to be one of the most recognizable cars in history. I see them at car shows and though I am floored at the complete lack of safety at that time I still coo at the cuteness of the thing. This is a weird car and this model done by ming1903 captures the odd coolness of the Isetta…
Mother Review: A Doll That Tracks Your Family's Every Move
Mothers are responsible for the welfare of their children. This is something we assume is true and something that guides the behavior of women with kids. They are watchful. They are worried. They set boundaries: Go to bed at such-and-such hour. Eat a balanced breakfast. Follow these rules.
What Would Happen If You Peed Into a Particle Accelerator?
I have visited CERN and they have sections of the accelerator you can look at. It's a mess—to you and me—wires and tubes. This has not been built for consumers. There's no pink model; there will not be a thinner and lighter 2.0; and Nike is not sponsoring a limited edition line. In other words—no safety measures in…
Satellite Dishes Can Turn Toxic Waste From Fracking Into Clean Water
In the past few years, earthquakes in Oklahoma have been on the mysterious rise—the state has had more earthquakes than even California. Why?
