The Fly Geyser, also known as Fly Ranch Geyser, is a small man-made geothermal geyser, located in Washoe County, Nevada, and besides spitting water up to 5 feet into the air, it strikes you with beautiful vibrant colors, making the whole landscape look like a painting. The geyser actually developed by mistake from a leaking geothermal well, which was first drilled back in 1916. Sometime in the 1960s the geothermally heated water found a crack and erupted. It has been spewing gushes of hot water ever since. The colored rock itself has been growing and forming from the dissolved minerals, which continue accumulating and thus shape the travertine mound around the geyser. The beautiful colors form due to the thermophilic algae. As the geyser is located on a private ranch and has its owner, it’s hidden from the viewers behind a high fence and a locked gate with spikes on top of it.
As soon as I saw that Courtney Love would be a guest on The Late Late Show I knew Craig Ferguson would have a field day. But I had no clue things would take the turn they did. The interview was destined for greatness as soon as Ferguson remarked that Love looked “respectable” (the crowd “ooh’d” in response). While I figured the whole thing would just be Ferguson poking gentle fun at Love, I didn’t expect them to talk about the time she tried to sleep with him, only to have him brush off her advances. “Maybe it was something in my breath, you were like, ‘No, it’s too much trouble,’” Love recalled. To which a laughing Ferguson responded, “Um, yeah.” Last night marked one of the few times I can remember Ferguson seeming mildly uncomfortable in an interview. Courtney Love will do that to ya. Enjoy.
Most of us have a pretty universal understanding of beauty, but there are those who go way off the grid. Body modification has been around for centuries in tribal areas, but lately it's been on the rise in the western culture! These people go through great lengths to stand out, be happy, feel secure/sexy/accepted (in their own circles) and what ever other reasons there are. I say they just all need a nice, long, sincere hug. Check out the most common and shocking body modifications out there.
A retired South Pacific Railroad upholsterer John Milkovisch started a project of "beerifying" his house in 1968. It took him 18 years to cover his Houston home in an estimated 50,000 beer cans. Hundreds of beer top garlands hang from the roof, the exterior of the house is covered with flattened can siding, and front and back yards are decorated with pull tabs and other can pieces. After Milkovisch's passing in the 1980s the house was given to and is now run as a museum by the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art.
What. No. It can’t be real. It…it just can’t be. YOU MANIACS. YOU BLEW IT UP. DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL. The Oreo was as perfect a creation as any, right up there with equally transcendent black and white cookie, especially Double-Stuffed Oreos, but no, you had to play God. As “shslvalkyrie” points out: aRE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME. THIS IS SH*T. THIS IS A PIECE OF SH*T. NO HUMAN SHOULD EVER HAVE THIS MUCH POWER. THIS IS F*CKING BULLSH*T. THERE WAS A SET AMOUNT OF ICING ON EACH F*CKING OREO AND THATS HOW IT SHOULD BE, GIVE US THIS MUCH POWER THE ICING WILL BE SO UNEASILY SPLIT UP THAT WE WILL HAVE LIKE 20 COOKIES LEFT AND NO F*CKING ICING LEFT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THE KIND OF SH*T THAT DESTROY SOCIETY AND TOPPLES THE GOVERNMENT. THIS IS TRYING TO SPARK GREED AND LUST AND GLUTTONY INTO THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE, THIS IS F*CKING EVIL DONT BUY INTO THIS SHIT. F*CK THIS, AND F* CK YOU MOREOS".

We finally did it! After seeing so much great fan art come out for the epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones, we felt it was time to put together the ultimate collection. These 20 pieces were chosen because they're either gorgeously made or incredibly funny. To date, 30 episodes of the television drama have been shown, putting us at the end of season 3. Though you'll have to wait till 2014 to watch season 4, you can, of course, read the books or take a peak at some significant spoilers creator George R. R. Martin recently dropped to E Online, below. "We have a big battle that the wonderful Neil Marshall that did the Battle of Blackwater back to direct, that's very exciting for me. We have another Royal Wedding, this one is not red; this one is a different color. We have the introduction of some great new characters. We finally introduce one of the most popular characters from the books: Prince Oberon Martell. The Red Viper of Dorne will be introduced for the first time and there will be some other new characters that I think the fans will like. The Wildlings are continuing to move toward the wall. We'll see many of the characters, we'll see what happens to Tyrion and Cersei and Jaime and all of the remaining Starks, the few that are left and hopefully it will be another great season." Now, here are our 20 favorite fan art pieces from the hit series Game of Thrones.
Awhile back we posted a Star Trek bloopers compilation. Unfortunately that video was pulled, and we only have the GIFs below to remember them by. But on the bright side, Paramount has released a new blooper reel to promote the first Blu-ray release of Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s fourth season. The Blu-ray is out tomorrow if you want to mount your furniture Riker-style and re-watch it. We get to peek at a few scenes going off the rails, and it’s great to see Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn and company having a little fun back in the day. Considering how melodramatic the show could get at times, these clips are all the more surreal.

If Game Of Thrones were set in the modern day, what would the Great (and not so great) Houses of Westeros do for their riches, besides murder and espionage? Every great fortune needs a legitimate veneer, after all. Shutterstock created Game Of Brands, a set of fake ad campaigns and brands for those power-hungry families participating in modern-day capitalism. Things haven’t changed much. House Targaryen is still dominating the sky. The Lannisters continue to pay their debts while also proffering investment advice to help you manage the lion’s share. The Baratheons are your source for security guards, while The Arryns will get that message across Westeros with their many satellites and servers. The Greyjoys are now running maritime expeditions. (Will there be hot dogs served onboard?) The Freys run Frey Celebrations, a division of The Lannister Investment Group. They’ll help you plan that wedding, and what ever could go wrong? And Stark Outfitters can provide the gear you need for any extreme weather conditions. Winter is coming, after all. Some of our favorite examples are collected here (minor spoilers). You can check out the rest of the ad campaigns, and the rationalization behind each, over at Shutterstock. Thanks to The High Definite for the assist.
