Cool

It is amazing how fast things have changed over the years. Take a look at some of these comparisons of the changes over the past couple decades. Here are things then and now. Pretty interesting and funny stuff. Most of them are sad but true.

Daniel Picard is an experienced photographer with a lot of amazing pictures to show in his portfolio. No only does he take amazing photos but he also has a love for toys and uses his passion to create even more awesome photos. Here are some of his extremely creative and realistic toy created photos.

As you might’ve already experienced yourself (and if not – do try it with someone!) – yawing is medically proved to be contagious. If you hear or see someone yawn, chances are that within seconds you’ll catch yourself doing the same. Some say that the only mammals on Earth that don’t yawn are the giraffes (which, of course, you could also try challenging by testing it in a zoo. Let us know how it goes). If you’re having a hard time falling asleep, you can always use this post for therapeutic purposes. Besides it being an animal post, which already soothes the heart, it is bound to have you start yawning yourself. And once you do, you’ll notice that all of a sudden you got way sleepier… So let’s do a little experiment – scroll down the list and try not to yawn!

Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Chris Hadfield demonstrates the physics of tears in space. Pretty cool, huh?

A new series of beautiful typographic prints inspired by the unplanned and incidental thoughts that roam through ones mind during the course of a day, created by Ryan McArthur.

San Francisco-based couple Casey Grim and Adam McLaughlin, aka acoupleofn3rds, recently got engaged and decided to create a series of engagement photos commemorating their love in a hilariously creative way. With the help of their photographer friend Red Scott, the couple chose to stage a photo shoot where they match in both outfit and pose, resulting in some really fun images.

BREAKING: celebrities love to overshare on social media. First it was on Twitter, then on Instagram and now on Vine. We GIF’d the best (err worst) of the videos so you don’t have to watch them. Unless you want to that is.

For Herbert Chavez it goes beyond wearing the red boots, ‘S’ symbol and cape. He’s gone to dramatic lengths, undergoing cosmetic surgery to shape his lips, cheeks, nose, chin, thighs and even his skin colour. It’s not some flippant obsession either, over the past decade Chavez has been transforming himself to being less Herbert, more Clarke.

Google Maps has, to date, caught numerous people in hilarious positions. Here to teach you a lesson in “somebody is always watching” are some Google Maps photographs. Enjoy.

Japan is wonderfully varied, peculiar and truly entertaining culture, it’s a place where nothing really has to make sense and where things rarely do. But they are probably best known for their eccentric & fascinating inventions. More often that not, they are completely  useless. Hera are some of them.

Most people need to get ready or use Instagram filters before taking a great picture. Most models need hours to apply makeup before photo shoots. These people on the other hand make taking photos look way to easy. These people will never need to be Photoshopped because they already look perfect. Here are some ridiculously photogenic camera- ready people.

When it comes to being an actor and director your life can be kind of complicated. One minute you are beloved by everyone and the next moment you are making movies just to collect a paycheck that no one cares to see. It happens all to often where big name actors clearly start to fall off but want to keep their name in the papers so they continue to take work wherever they can. Here are 7 actors who clearly lost all of their credibility.

Most great inventions are called “dumb” or “silly” or “useless” for a while before they actually take off. The personal computer, for example, was said to be a pointless invention that no one would ever want – and now just about every home in the developed world has one. But not all inventions are winners – some really are dumb, silly or useless. Here are a few of the worst inventions of the 20th century.

Here’s a fascinating trip down the corridors of history, thanks for French-Jewish entrepreneur Albert Khan. He wanted to collect the biggest photographic record of the world, it’s evolution and history – an ambitious project to be sure. But over the years he successfully amassed a staggering 180K meters of black and white film. But even more impressively, was his unique collection of 72,000 autochrome plates. At the time, those plates were a key tool in the industrial process of manufacturing colour photography. 1907 saw the creation of ‘Autochrome’ an invention of the Lumière brothers, a complex process which essentially made colour photographs possible. A true overnight revolution as it were that gave photographs an entirely new dimension. Interesting enough all colours and be recreated from 3 primary colours and it was these that they based their process around. So thanks to the ingenuity of the Lumière brothers and Kahn’s tireless dedication, we’re able to look back on these images of our past with vivid and rich detail. Below is a mere sample of the ‘Archive of the Planet’ but you can see more via Albert Khan’s personal site. http://www.albertkahn.co.uk/

Arnold Schwarzenegger eating ice cream can be best described as disturbing. Check out the pictures of Terminator in action!
