It looks like homer finishing his 65th slice of american cheese to me.

That's pretty cool. Do you have some background on the math of that? Would be interesting if that concept is generally applicable.

Three more pics in the link, of which Theda Bara pic is slightly NSFW.

What is this based on? Its like if Borderlands had characters with sex appeal.
Good day everyone, I lurked on this thread for ages and I thought I could offer you some cool stuff.
The last duel in France, involving a mayor and a Parliament member in 1967. Here is the footage. It's a first blood duel so expect no death

Maybe not exactly cool but interesting:
Captured bullet ants fixed onto a glove:
They are called bullet ants because their sting is supposed to feel like getting shot. Caused by a powerful neurotoxin, more painful than any other insect bite.
The tribesmen put their hands in these gloves for 10 minutes and voilà, agonizing pain lasting up to a day (but no tissue damage I think). Every man has to endure this 20 times in his life.
Here's some white guy doing it:

Been staring at that picture for 15 minutes and I can't find the Event Horizon
Awesome, thanks.

I've always wanted to know how they design the machines that mass produce products. I understand how a prototype is made but I've always been curious how the then design something to make thousands/millions of them

Yeah, quality control, innit
It constantly blows my mind, that's why 'How it's made' is the shit
They added HIM to Netflix recently, it's become my go-to show when I just want to throw something on.
Also, semi-related funny; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJyGoGPXTj4
I work for a label company and we have a group that designs the machines that apply labels at CRAZY high speeds and I often go over to their building just to see the crazy robots / machines they come up with and it is very impressive.
Camped around Iceland for 5 weeks. I picked out some of the more cool things I saw. The pictures, especially from my poopy point and shoot, don't do it any justice.
This is just a bigass lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Makes you appreciate how far lava can flow from these eruptions. The yellow moss made it looks like such an alien landscale.
Just a cool scupture in Reykjavik. It's 3D but it looks like a cartoon.
This was probably the most alien place I've ever been. Kerlingjafjoll. It's just a big geothermal area in the interior highlands. The fog and clouds made it even more eerie.
A Tuff Cone by Myvatn. Looks like the lunar landscape inside.
1984 lava flows from the Krafla eruptions. Some parts of it had steam coming from them, apparantley the bottom of the lava flow is still hot and heats up the groundwater.
The mighty Detifoss. As seen in movies like Prometheus, Oblivion and many others.
I just liked the view from here
The famous and pretty Svartifoss
I think that ice up there is part of the Eyjafjallajokull ice cap. Could be the Katla one I forget.
However this is me sitting on a scoria cone from the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruption. It was a long ass hike to get up here from our campground. The cone itself is still very warm, even 4 years after the eruption. Hot even. If you dug into it a little it got really hot. One girl on our hike sat down to eat her lunch and she sat on this really cheap frogtogg rain jacket and it got a hole burnt through it.
This was really cool. Near the Skaftafell park. I forget the mountain I took the picture on I just know it sounds basically like "Kristina Tindr" which is kind of amusing.
But this is just a HUGE cliff face with a big glacier on top, and the melt water from that glacier is spilling down and over the cliff and feeding 2 small glaciers on the bottom.
Highly reccomend going to Iceland if you get the chance

Woa that creepy face....
Not seeing it
Upper left quadrant, the white patch right above the stream.
Oh.
This is probably why a bunch of the population still believes in elves. When its foggy as it often is, lots of the rock outrcrops can look menacing.

awesome pics! But that one is screwing with my brain haha
saw on reddit:
The cardinal fish tried to eat a tiny shrimp (ostracods), but as a defense mechanisms the ostracod produces a burst of bioluminescence. The fish instantly spits it out because it doesn't want to be a swimming neon "eat me" sign to its own bigger predators.

That's about as cool as this.
Impressive. Although I always wonder about using such techniques in a fight. Even in a tournament scenario, if one of the first two kicks actually hits the opponent (or he/she blocks them), his momentum is gone and he would probably have a hard time regain his balance. It's a way to surprise I guess, but then again the last kick is higher than any of their heads so he would need to fight a big guy
His landing is great tough, already in a stance to defend/attack with seemingly not much time needed to find his balance.

Huh, I was always under the impression that Death Star 2 was smaller than the first one... You really do learn something new every day.
I think I saw this in Game of Thrones too, only more snowy. Could be wrong though.
