Misery, Interrupted by the Occasional War: The Last 100 Years in 10 Minutes
by Max Eddy | 2:00 pm, December 31st
As we prepare to close the book on another year, YouTube user derDon1234 threw together a quick look back at the last 100 years of history — conveniently compacted into 10 minutes. While interesting it’s, uh, not exactly uplifting. In fact, it’s nearly all wars and explosions, with a few sporting events thrown in for good measure. Also, only one woman was apparently noteworthy enough to make the cut — and it’s Lewinksy. So, while deeply flawed, its a sobering reminder of how far we’ve come. See the video after the break, but be forewarned that it does contain some graphic images, so watch at your own discretion.

by Max Eddy | 1:00 pm, December 31st
If you’re looking for an excuse to visit China, here’s a great one: At the city of Erlian, near the border with Mongolia, there is an enormous statue of two dinosaurs. And they are totally making out. The whole complex was designed to draw attention to the nearby Dinosaur Fairyland park, but that pales in comparison to the site of two long-necked dinos tongue wrestling.

How About That: North Korea Has a FAQ
by Max Eddy | 6:01 pm, December 30th
With the recent death of Kim Jong-Il, many people ignorant of the internal workings of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea might have some questions. Perhaps you’re curious about how a DPRK citizen spends his or her time, or maybe you’re looking for commentary on slippery rumors about mass starvation and nuclear weapons. Well, worry no more friends: North Korea maintains a FAQ that should answer just about any question you might have. And it’s not full of bald-faced propaganda, of course not.

by Max Eddy | 5:07 pm, December 30th
A new study has found that tornadoes seem to have an overwhelming preference toward forming in the middle of the week. This isn’t necessarily because the hyper-destructive funnel clouds are dedicated workers that live for the weekend, but rather because of the pollution created by humans commuting to work. Just another example of human beings sowing the seeds to their own destruction.
