If you are not familiar with Maschinen Krieger (abbreviated as Ma.K) here is a little bit of background. The franchise was started by Kow Yokoyama in the 1980’s. Yokoyama-san was a scratch-build modeller, artist and sculptor. Among his works he built machines of war that would fight in the 29th century, but took their visual cues from early 19th century weaponry and the early NASA space program. All his models were pieced together from numerous kits.

Something’s really wrong with this world when something comes up, like Canadians who can’t pay for their healthcare anymore.

Aren’t moms just the best? They tend to you when you’re sick as a kid, read a bedtime story and rock until you fall asleep, blow on your wounded knee after just another fall and keep supporting your craziest dreams no matter what. And yes, as cheesy as it gets, I will say it’s unconditional love. And we have Ryan McCormick’s story to prove it as his mom was the only passenger left waiting after long hours for the plane he was supposed to pilot.

Recently, a Wildlife Hospital in the U.K. had an especially flamboyant-looking ‘patient’. Some good people saw the poor bright orange bird on the side of the road that was unable to fly. The kind people took it to the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital to make sure it was okay. Turns out, the bird was neither tropical nor exotic – just a curious seagull that somehow got himself all covered in curry.

The world's worst ever nuclear disaster took place at Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine back in 1986, and its effects are still being felt today. Far from becoming the barren wasteland that many predicted after the catastrophic event the area has, in the absence of humans, become host to a great biodiversity. It really shows the power of nature to recover when left alone without us around to get in the way of things!

Venezuela resembles a land from a post-apocalyptic novel. You can see modern skyscrapers but cannot charge your phone. You can have a computer, a mobile and a flat-screen TV but still have to cook on wood-burning stoves. While shopping it’s more practical to weight money rather than count it. Millions of people are running away from the country and those who stay, often starve.

God bless cats. They’ve been providing the Internet with unwitting entertainment ever since there was an Internet. And God bless metal, because duh… heavy fucking metal.

Maybe we watched too many horror movies as kids, or maybe it's just an evolutionary advantage to be wary of danger when it isn't necessarily there, but we can all remember that sudden feeling of terror when the shadow of a tree flashes across a window.
