Mars rover Curiosity has doubtlessly been doing a whole lot of important science up there on the red planet, but it's also been sending back a ton of pictures to keep us simpler, non-scientist folks amused by all the pretty colors red.

Telekinesis isn't real, but you can fake it if you really put your mind to it. Conceptual artist Lisa Park did just that and surrounded herself with vibrating pools of her own brainwaves. But her final trick, total brain silence, turned out to be just a little too hard to fake.Read more...

I'm pretty sure having students play their heinies like bongos for the enjoyment of their instructor is illegal in at least 15 states, regardless of the lesson plan. And let's not even get into the desk licking, or the bra tearing, or the riding crops *shudder*Read more...

If you go deep inside the desert or climb a mountain or find yourself in the South Pole or a remote farm or any place that can be considered 'the middle of no where', guess what? You have no internet. Well, Wired is reporting that Google wants to change all that by sending high-altitude balloons into the stratosphere to give the world Wi-Fi. Whoa.Read more...

Here's a silly little invention that is wonderful because it'll either make you more drunk or more human, preferably both. It's a beer glass. Huh? Yeah, the base of this beer glass is shaved down so that it needs to be rested on top of your cell phone to stand up straight. If you're too busy using your phone? The beer will spill over. If you want to be a human and talk to people? You can sit your beer down perfectly fine.Read more...

And if you combine liquid nitrogen with slow motion, things get even better. Watch flowers and fruit get dipped into liquid nitrogen and then smashed into smithereens in slow motion. It's like seeing breaking glass explode. [Distort via Test Tube]Read more...

Man of Steel is out and if you want to get your eyes pummeled with insane fight sequences, I suggest you watch it. But what if Superman actually wanted to pummel your face instead? What would a punch by Superman feel like? A lot worse than even getting punched by Mike Tyson.Read more...

Who doesn't enjoy getting lost in a big budget action adventure flick; maybe even pretending you're the swashbuckling hero, if just for a little bit. Well, French indie rock quartet, Stuck in the Sound, took those cinematic fantasies a step further in Pursuit, the title track from their identically-named 2012 album. Watch, you'll see.
