Get Ready For The Hangover 2
25 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you have not watched “The Hangover” then there is something wrong with you, as it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen and I have very good taste. Thankfully the producers of “The Hangover” have seen it fit for us to be granted a new Hangover movie, aptly entitled “The Hangover 2”. Here’s the first sneak peak.

Somewhere, Someone Is Sledding Naked
24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It’s a happy thought. Especially because they’ve been holding the naked sledding world championships in Braunlage, which they tell me is in Germany – a country with a rich history in this noble endeavour. Dozens of competitors took part, and they weren’t all ladies! Surprisingly SFW.

Utah Archeologists Discover New Dinosaur – ‘Thunder Thighs’
24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Oh, scientists. You discover an entirely new species of dinosaur on a quarry dig, and then you come up with a name for it that non-scientist people use to insult hefty folk with. I mean sure, you use the fancy Latin Brontomerus mcintoshi, but Thunder Thighs is the sort of thing people remember.

24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
We discovered Danny MacAskill in 2009. He was the antidote to the prawn carnage that we’d been suffering all over Cape Town for some time. Since then the video that he posted (Danny MacAskill-April 2009) has reached nearly 24 million YouTube hits. While MacAskill’s new video, released three months ago, has 7 million hits and counting.

You Can Buy Private Submarines Now
23 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Forget the yacht; right now, submarines are where it’s at. So it’s pretty handy that the ‘Ego’ submergable craft by Korean company Raonhaje is going to be available a little later in the year; I mean yes the name is a little silly, but that’s okay because you’ll be the kind of person that owns a submarine.

21 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Just yesterday a friend of mine who recently quit his job to live the holiday said this to me. “You know, it’s amazing, I actually have time to get things done now. I can actually complete admin tasks.” I knew what he was getting at. The majority of us are roped in to 9-5 jobs. […]

21 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s sort of hard to be on the internet right now without hearing about protests from whichever North African/Middle Eastern country is falling under the ‘freedom’ bandwagon, but this Google Maps/Twitter mashup contextualizes the online protest movement nicely – and in real time.

18 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ha! Yes. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), is looking at plans to send a humanoid robot to the International Space Station. Except by humanoid I mean it will look attempt to look sexy but end up being insanely creepy. Also, it’s going to post photos and text to Twitter.

Ha. Last night, someone in control of the Red Cross Twitter feed accidentally posted “Ryan found two more 4 bottle packs of Dogfish Head’s Midas Touch beer…when we drink we do it right #gettngslizzerd. ” Then the internet found out & made a meme of it, resulting in a flood of Red Cross blood donations.

17 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I love the internet. So we told you last week about Detroit’s Mayor, Dave Bing, shooting down the RoboCop statue proposal, and the KickStarter initiative that was trying to build the thing anyway. Well, they’ve raised the necessary $50,000 in a little under a week, so you know. Your move, Bing.

Banksy’s Gone Hollywood.
17 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
By which I mean, Banksy has been hitting various billboards and street-corners in Los Angeles with culture-bending graffiti. As ever. I mean it’s a little weird that the anti-establishment dude has been promoting his Oscar nomination, but on the up-side, we get some pretty cool art out of it.

16 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Yes, I know, me and everybody’s grandma used ‘there’s an app for that’ as the headline, but that’s because me and everybody’s grandma have an awesome sense of humour. New York’s Health Department released a smartphone app for finding free condom distribution points via GPS on Monday.

Jamming With The Large Hadron Collider
16 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you think about it, music is simply data ordered in a specific way by a clever human and then executed by either man or machine. So why not take some existing data from a very clever machine and see if it makes music? Well that’s what the very very clever people at CERN have done.

15 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
What did you get for Valentine’s? The Colombian Navy got a submarine built by drug smugglers in the Timbiqui shipyard. Well I mean the seized it. It wasn’t a gift. Authorities say the sub was meant to transport about 7,000kg of cocaine into Mexico. So there were some pretty disappointed Mexican Valentines, I guess.

South Africa Did Okay In The WHO’s Booze Championships
15 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s that time of year again kids – that’s right, the WHO has released their saucy ‘Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health 2011’ – which means we get to find out if SA’s still a rock-out party country, or if we’ve gotten all lame and started taking our liver problems seriously.

It’s Smarter Than The Average Bear
14 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Hoo ha. I try and avoid playing the ‘hey look something funny happened on the internet’ game with you guys too often, but it’s Monday and this bear unlocked some dude’s car door and “drank 4 beers, ate a bottle of mallox, and crapped all over the place.” That’s special.

Lady Gaga Arrives At The Grammys In An Egg
14 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Even for the insanity that is the Gaga fashion choice, arriving for the 2011 Grammy Awards in a giant shiny egg is still pretty weird. Lady Gaga was an hour early for her arrival on the red carpet, encased in a giant egg and was carried by four half-naked men.

So Beer Marshmallows Are A Thing Now.
11 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well this seems like a good way to end the week/start the weekend. Beer-batter marshmallows. I don’t know how I feel about these things, taste-wise, but in terms of taking something awesome and then coating it in something else that’s awesome, beer marshmallows get my stamp of approval.

Lightsabers In The Hood [VIDEO]
11 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
What starts out as just another video of some bored dudes fighting on YouTube, suddenly escalates into something way more epic. How epic? I’m talking full tilt lightsaber epic. Once again proving that lightsabers are awesome, and that Star Wars fanboys are everywhere, even in the hood.

The Clap-Off Bra from Randy Sarafan on Vimeo.
Make Yourself A Clap-Off Bra For Valentine’s [VIDEO]
11 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This is special. I mean, I would talk a little bit more about the basic premise of the thing, but it does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin: you clap, bra comes off. It’s not quite the snip-snap process of seduction I’d hoped for as a tiny-man child, but it’s close.

Oh God No Google Wants To Buy Twitter It’s All Over
10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ha. But no, seriously, they’re talking about this – the dudes and ladies who run Twitter are being courted by a couple of companies, Facebook and Google among them, who want to shell out the $10bn that the company is apparently worth. Predictably, a bunch of people are whining about this being the end of Twitter, etc.

Kitesurfers In Blouberg Are Siesa, My Bru
10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Now I should clarify here, Norwegian kitesurfers in blouwberg are siesa. And by “siesa” I of course mean “an intoxicating mix of insanity, skill, and bravery”. Yesterday, Nick Jacobsen climbed up a crane on the deck of the now-permanently wrecked Seli I, with his kite and his board, and jumped off. Nuts.
