Japanese chef Miki Nozawa was killed by two unhappy diners in Germany. According to German Newspapaer Sylt Rundschau, the two men 36 and 50 wanted their money back because they didn't like the fried noodles served by the chef at his snack bar in Sylt. They left without paying, and later ran into Nozawa at a bar in Westerland, in which the conflict continued. They savagely beat up the 57 year old Nozawa and he ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding and severe brain injuries. He died of brain hemorrhage the next day. The two men were arrested, but later released due to lack of evidence.

Tonight at the Billboard Music Awards, Miguel decided to get a jump start on his WWE career by doing the Hogan leg drop on some poor girl. While singing his hit song "Adorn" he attempted to go from one stage to another by jumping over a crowd of people, but he ended up landing on a girl reportedly named Khyati. Khyati was alright, and Miguel was seen with her backstage (shorty was holding down an icepack though) but you know Miguel's life is never going to be the same because 38 seconds after it happened the collective Internet screamed, "LIKE WE ALWAYS DO IT THIS TIME!," got on Photoshop, and started making memes. Click ahead to see the The 10 Best Miguel Leg Drop Memes. We just hope Miguel has his lawyer on speed dial...

Sunday marks YouTube's eighth birthday, and by the company's own measure things have been going pretty steadily since 2005, when it launched. According to a blog on the company's site, YouTube sees more than 100 million videos uploaded to its site every minute, or more than four days worth of clips. More than 1 billion people visit the site for news, and more than millions of partners worldwide churn out content for YouTube. Among some highlights mentioned in the post are Psy's record-breaking views for the videos "Gangnam Style" and "Gentleman," plus Sesame Street going global with 1 billion views. No mention of being acquired in 2006 by search giant Google, which was company's biggest purchase to date—$1.65 billion in stock. https://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2013/05/heres-to-eight-great-years.html?m=1

Are you tired of “sci-fi” movies that are basically just action flicks with lasers and spacecraft instead of bullets and cars? Looking for something, I dunno, a little harder? Don’t be ashamed, a lot of us nerds are. Well, it looks like the upcoming Europa Report may satisfy your hard sci-fi yearnings. The movie, about a manned mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa looks to take a fairly grounded, realistic approach to space travel. Well, until the astronauts encounter some kind of alien monsters under Europa’s ice, at which case I’m betting realism probably gives way to a lot of screaming, running and dying.

I have a confession to make. It’s something I should have said awhile ago, especially to a bunch of strangers on the Internet. I…have been cheating on my fiancée. I didn’t mean to, I love her so much, but she was working late one night and I was at home all by lonesome, bored out of my mind…and, well, I watched the entirety of Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry? on Netflix Instant without her. I’M SO SORRY, HONEY. It’s only now do I realize the irony. Apparently I’m not the only committing digital adultery, though: according to studies released by Netflix, 51% of those in a relationship would cheat on their lover by streaming a TV show they agreed to watch together before their partner had a chance to watch it. And more than 28 million already have. More cold, hard facts:

Even at the risk of sounding like Tony Robbins, I believe the key to getting into secret parties is: confidence. Act like you belong there, or better yet, pretend you’re the bodyguard for someone famous like Gwyneth Paltrow, who was in Shallow Hal with…“banana-fingered self-help guru” Tony Robbins. *hears Inception music played by farts* That’s how “gonzagtv” crept his way into an exclusive Cannes party, which had “lots of of champagne, lot of beautiful women…but in fact it was very boring.” If only the event had been for Shallow Hal 2: Tit for Fat.

It’s easy to bag on Saturday Night Live for their musical guests, but just as the “SNL isn’t as funny as it used to be” argument is played out and incorrect, history often looks kindly at the artists the show books. Take, for instance, last year: yes, there was the Karmin fiasco and One Direction should never have performed on the same stage that Fear once did and Lana Del Rey hadn’t yet thawed out of her accidental ice shell, but otherwise, solid. Radiohead, the Black Keys, Robyn, Kelly Clarkson, Coldplay, Jack White, the Shins, Arcade Fire, Usher, the Rolling Stones — even if you don’t like a lot of those bands (*coughcoldplaycough*), it’s not as if they were unworthy of performing on SNL. In a year, when we look back at season 38 of SNL, which ended last night, how many miscues will we count? Justin Bieber, definitely, and probably Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and fun.; otherwise, not too shabby. Rarely spectacular, usually good, briefly awful, not unlike SNL itself. Here are seven of the season’s best performances.

Colgate-Palmolive has recently filed a patent application for a toothbrush with the ability to deliver a dose of chemicals to the user. It could be used to dispense painkillers, diet pills or invoke sensations such as cold or heat. But the idea has taken it's course particularly towards caffeine. Although this easy to use caffeine toothbrush might sound appealing to many coffee drinkers who don't have the time to make a cup in the morning, or may be need the energy but don't necessarily like the taste, the FDA is skeptical and is investigating the safety of the caffeine dispensing brush, focusing on adolescents and children. I guess we'll find out the future of this interesting device soon.

After getting into an argument with his girlfriend a drunk Taiwanese man performed what is known as autopeotomy on himself by cutting off his penis with scissors. I can only imagine the words that accommodated the action. To add insult to injury, he then flushed the cut off bit down the toilet! Isn't it always the crazy jealous women doing that to their men, wow what a stupid situation. He slipped into a coma from massive blood loss before he was brought to the hospital by his terrified and "never to be happy again" girlfriend. He eventually came out of the coma, and doctors expect him to make a full recovery. He now has an inch-and-a-half of his penis left, and is probably greatly regretting his actions.

The Wingjing Streaker strikes again! A young artist Li Binyuan, who has graduated from the prestigious China Central Academy of Fine Arts is known for his outrageous streaks in the Beijing's Wangjing area. Li admitted, "I've done this about ten times." "At first, it all started because I was bored and this seemed fun," said Li. "Later, it just became something to do." He also said that when he becames stuck and frustrated with his art work, streaking helps him release that energy. Although public nudity is illegal in China, a Beijing lawyer named Liu Xiaoyuan said that since that occurred at night (and perhaps didn't disturb the peace), criminal charges are unlikely. What a fun way to vent huh guys? You go Liu!

An overzealous Taylor Swift fan was arrested in the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday, May 15, after swimming up to her new digs in Rhode Island. The unnamed dude, a 22-year-old Chicago native, made the long, cold journey to Swift’s home, but was scared away by her security team and decided to turn around. He was spotted by cops exiting the water around 2 a.m., about a mile from Taylor’s new $17 million dollar estate, and told police he had swam there intending to meet her. He was promptly booked on trespassing charges and remains in custody. Who says romance is dead? (And really, maybe he shouldn’t have been dispatched so quickly — this has the makings of a great song.) But alas, TMZ spoke to the Westerly Police, who said there is a “zero tolerance policy” for trespassing, and that they already met with Taylor on the matter — after she woke up, presumably. Taylor hasn’t released a statement, but we’re guessing she knew he was trouble when he, uh, swam in.

Unfortunately, poor Dick is going to have to settle for snail mail when his birthday comes around this year. British department store Marks & Spencer recently denied the wishes of sweet old Ruth Levy for a birthday e-card. Being the lovely woman we imagine her to be, Levy wished to send her pal an electronic birthday message. Unfortunately, it was deemed impossible, with the reason being her use of profanity in the message. But it turns out the only profanity she used was calling her friend Richard by his common name – Dick. After several rewrite attempts, Levy was sent a letter from M&S, suggesting she use the name “Richard.”Levy has dubbed the incident “political correctness gone absolutely mad.” So what are your thoughts? But first, for what it’s worth…Happy Birthday, Dick!

Swedish researchers at the Karolinska Institutet have developed a system called SensAbues, which allows them to use breath analysis to test for 12 different drugs in someones system with 20 breaths, including cocaine, marijuana and amphetamines. The reason it works very accurately is because small amounts of molecules from our blood diffuse into the lining fluid of the lungs, therefore reflecting micro-particles of substances in our bloodstream through the breath. This break through in combining science and technology is sure to go into developing something as convenient as the roadside breathalyzers used for alcohol testing, and we might soon see them in U.S.

18 houses in Clear Lake California are slowly sinking into the ground and officials cannot figure out why. These houses are not sinking due to sink holes as they are built on ground composed of volcanic rock. One home is already 10 feet below street level. Some home owners have not evacuated but have begun to see worrisome cracks in their walls and floors. Insurance companies are claiming they have no responsibilities in these cases.

80-year-old Japanese mountaineer Yuichiro Miura became the oldest person to reach the top of Mount Everest. Miura, who also conquered the 29,035-foot (8,850-meter) peak when he was 70 and 75, reached the summit at 9:05 a.m. local time Thursday, May 22. Truly and inspiring and motivational story. I hope I can conquer big challenges like this as I get older!

A Cleveland, Ohio man named Charles Ramsey helped rescue a group of abducted children from his neighbors home after hearing screams from a little girl. Charles was in his house eating McDonald’s when he heard the screaming and quickly came out to notice it was coming from next his neighbor’s home. He went over to the home, broke open the front door, freed the girl and realized that she was Amanda Berry, a girl who went missing nearly 10 years ago. After Police searched the house, two other missing girls turned up in the house who were alive and well, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. When asked by WEWS NewsChannel 5 reporter John Kosich, “What were the reactions on the girls’ faces? I can’t imagine to see the sunlight…”, Charles quickly replied, “Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway. Dead giveaway.”

Abercrombie and Fitch has been around forever but it just recently came to our attention what a douche bag Mike Jeffries, the CEO is. They don't carry sizes XL and XXL for women, because he apparently has some unresolved childhood issues. “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny. But then you become totally vanilla. You don’t alienate anybody, but you don’t excite anybody, either,” he told Salon. Good luck with that tactic, lets see how it stacks out to your biggest competitors H&M and American Eagle, who both offer XXL sizes for men and women.

A South African surfer Brett Archibald, 50, went on a surfing trip through the Mentawai Islands off Indonesia. The All Aboard Travel promised to take him and other adventure seekers to the "best waves on the planet." The boat ride through the Indian Ocean was 10 hours to reach that spot, and everybody got extremely sea sick on board. "I released I was really seasick. I had two really big vomits and then I think I blacked out while I was retching." said Brett. Later on he allegedly went up to the deck to urinate, lost his balance and fell into the chilling water without a life jacket. Only in a few hours the Naga Laut crew noticed that Archibald was missing. Soon after the tour operators and the Indonesian rescue services were searching for him. "The night was carnage I had sharks swimming past me. I got stung by a jelly fish. Seagulls even tried to pick my eyes out and I have got big holes in my nose. It was insane, just insane. I actually gave up" explained Brett. Fortunately he was lucky enough not to get too hurt, or even worse. He was rescued by John and Belinda McGroder who spotted him from their boat at around 6:30 a.m. He was suffering from hypothermia, but other then that was thankful to have survived, and continued his 10 day trip.

"SHANGHAI has ordered all live poultry markets in the city closed after culling more than 20,000 birds to curb the spread of the H7N9 flu virus, which has killed six people in China. The latest fatality was a 64-year-old farmer who died in Huzhou. He is thought to be among 14 previously confirmed human cases of H7N9, and is the second person from Zhejiang province to die from the new bird flu strain, with the other four fatalities in Shanghai. The moves came after the virus was found in pigeon samples from the Huhuai market in Shanghai, where Xinhua said a total of 20,536 chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons had been slaughtered."

A recent study conducted by Lance Price of the Translational Genomics Research institute (TGen) and his colleagues, showed that circumcision lowers the chances of contracting HIV. They conducted a detailed genetic analysis of microbes among a group of Ugandan men using the latest technology, before circumcision and again a year later after circumcision. The results were pretty dramatic. Circumcised men carried way fewer bacteria that contribute to easier HIV entrance by lowering the immune defenses than uncircumcised men. Circumcision lowers the risk of transmitting HIV by as much as 50%.
