Now, we don’t know about you, but we don’t watch all that much Danish TV. Not being Danish or having ever even been to Denmark, it’s not really something that’s presented itself as a possibility. But we’re glad we saw this bizarre clip, as it’s most unusual, interesting and, well, downright creepy… As Denmark’s national women’s handball coach Klavs Bruun Jørgensen is being interviewed by a reporter at an airport’s baggage claim for TV2’s Sports Center show, we see a blonde woman in the background. Another woman then walks past her, pushing a luggage trolley. And then? POOF! the blonde…
Okay, okay – we know some people don’t get on board with the whole idea of evolution and opt more for the religious ‘creationism’ argument for how we all got here. And we respect that. But let’s get a little scientific for a moment and look into the evolutionary theory. It says that we’re all shaped by our environment and have adapted to become what we are now from a series of other creatures throughout time. We were apes, fish, all sorts. But necessity intervened and edited us down to the ‘perfect’ specimens we all inhabit now. And scientists say there’s…
Last year, Jennifer Cutrona was training for a marathon. She was out running in a woodland near her home in Texas when she was ambushed and assaulted by an assailant. She had her headphones in and was caught unawares. After recovering from the terrifying attack, Cutrona became determined to help stop similar things from happening again. So she set about inventing an equalizer. Something to give women a way to fight back went caught unawares in situations like the one she found her in. She invented the Booby Trap Bra. It’s a bra with a secret compartment for holding a weapon in. Choose…
How do you test a battery? It’s a good question and, apart from seeing if it powers something that only requires one battery to work, we’ve never really known the answer. We’ve just kind of thrown away (sorry, recycled…) batteries when we’ve suspected they’re on the way out. But there is a foolproof way! The clever types at Cleverly have stumbled upon a really neat and simple little technique that, while easy, is actually pretty ingenious. It doesn’t require any special testing kit – or any extra kit at all, really. So long as you have access to a hard…
To be sure, it certainly WAS a happy St. Patrick’s Day for anyone who was lucky enough to find themselves at Sydney’s Central Railway Station on Wednesday. For what started out as if it was just one young man dancing a little soon turned out to be something quite grand and exciting… A Riverdance flashmob! Tourism Ireland, Jason Oremus, Chris Naish and the Sneaky Steppers crew were behind the event, designed as a bit of a publicity stunt for Irish tourism. But PR event or not, this is bound to warm the cockles of your heart, it’s truly an uplifting thing to…
Infamous hacktivist group Anonymous have issued a chilling threat to the potential Presidential runner from the Republican Party, Donald Trump. The controversial billionaire has many supporters, but arguably an even greater number of enemies. And it looks as thought hacker group Anonymous are the newest. In a video released recently, they encouraged hackers across the world to attempt to bring down Trump’s websites and social media accounts. Here’s part of their message: “Dear Donald Trump, we have been watching you for a long time, and what we see is deeply disturbing. Your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the…
He used to be everywhere, Jared Fogle. At one point, the former Subway frontman was all over the place – in Subway shops, on billboards, on TV… always explaining how he’d lost weight with a certain type of hoagie. But now he’s only in one place only – JAIL. Englewood Prison in Colorado, to be precise. And he will be for the next fifteen years. Unless he’s moved for his own safety and that’s a real possibility. Only his fellow inmates haven’t taken kindly to his arrival. He’s regularly taunted with cries of ‘Chomo!’ (short for ‘child molester’) and he’s recently…
Go-kart racing is something a lot of us enjoyed as a special treat when we were kids, isn’t it? For a birthday day out for you or a friend – what a fun thing to do, huh? But where most of us probably haven’t donned a helmet for some time, there are scores of grown-ups out there still obsessed with it… But they’re not just happy to squeeze into the seat and whizz around the track like we used to when we were twelve. Oh no. They have to try and ‘evolve’ things. Tinkering with the engines and fiddling with…
Since roly-poly Brit TV funnyman James Corden took over the reigns at The Late, Late Show, he’s done surprisingly well. A lot of people thought he might not, especially after his first nervous appearance on show one. But he’s doing well and people like him a lot. His most popular segment? A bit called ‘Carpool Karaoke’. In it, he gets superstars to join him for a drive about while they sing their songs in weird ways. And his latest guest? None other than rock god Rod Stewart! He sings Cat Stevens’ “The First Cut Is The Deepest” and then his own “Da Ya…
Zegelsem, Belgium. Retired store owner Eric Vekeman doesn’t like being told what to do. Especially for no reason. His home country is one which is permanently blighted by red tape, bureaucracy and unnecessary law making. It’s the epitome of the Nanny State. It’s something which has always irked Eric, but he’s normally just accepted it. Until now. He applied to the powers that be to get himself permission to build his own little garage for his beloved BMW. But what do you know? The government rejected his application. But Eric wouldn’t let it rest. He decided to come up with an even…
