These superb miniature paintings “for Ants” were expertly crafted by artist, Lorraine Loots of Cape Town. She has been working on these little marvels since early 2013, too, working with a variety of mediums including pencils and paint brushes.

Chris Burden - Transfixed (1974)

In his forty-year career, Chris Burden has been shot, nailed to a Volkswagen, set on fire, electrocuted, and stabbed with pins, all in the name of art. He's shot bullets at a 747 by LAX, hijacked a television interview, built a self-navigating sail boat, and crawled over broken glass in a speedo on Main Street, Los Angeles. Constantly pushing boundaries and prodding at the breaking points of social mores, institutions, and his own body and psyche, Chris Burden has redefined what it means to make art. In an interview with Jim Moisan in 1979, Burden spoke about his early performance work, "It was more like a kind of mental experience for me—to see how I would deal with the mental aspect—like knowing that at 7:30 you're going to stand in a room and guy's going to shoot you... It was almost like setting up fate or something, in a real controlled way. The violence part wasn't that important, it was just a crux to make all the mental stuff happen."

Apparently this is how whales sleep...

Shouldn't they sleep (directly) at the surface to be able to breathe?

 

[GunslingerVit]

They are not breathing very often while sleeping.

The gaps in the disk are most likely young planets in the process of forming themselves.

Perhaps not 'cool', but mighty impressive. Can't verify the source, but here's a gif of a Syrian boy apparently saving his sister form gunman by pretending to be shot to divert the shooter.

This got torn apart on Reddit for been fake / boy pretending to be shot. Just an FYI.

Edit: for clarities sake, I don't believe they don't shoot kids, they do actively. The whole country is hell bent on murdering each other. It's just this video is suspicious.

Edit:

I haven't posted anything actually cool or interesting.

So here is something I also nicked from Reddit, but it is fucking badass. Sprint missile launch.

The Sprint was a two-stage, solid-fuel anti-ballistic missile, armed with a W66 enhanced radiation thermonuclear warhead.

This thing jumps to Mach 10 in 5 seconds ... that's right ... it pulls 100g's. Look closely at the nose of the missile near the end. It's going so fast it's aerodynamically heating itself white hot.
