Every now and then I get sent some wine. I never tire of this. Even if the wine is insipid, badly labeled, and I have to get my panga out of storage to hack through the multi-layered coating of bubble wrap I am happy. I love free shit. I don’t care that I will probably chuck it away soon after opening; it’s the pure and simple joy of opening something that you know you didn’t pay for but is yours. This feeling lasts but a fleeting moment, but oh, it is sweet.

I once saw soccer hooligans throw a scooter onto the pitch. This, however, takes it to a shocking new level! A live explosive was thrown onto the pitch yesterday during an Asian Champions League quarterfinal match in Iran. This footage shows midfielder, Adel Kolahkaj, spot the object during a break in play. Without realising it is about to explode, he picks it up and tosses it to the side of the field. Watch what happens next, inside.
After a 35 day battle with weather, Geoff Mackley, Bradley Ambrose and Nathan Berg finally became the first people ever to get within 30m of Marum Volcano’s infamous lava lake on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu.

Before we get started, just a quick recap. You know how your iPhone knows which restaurant you are at when you use Foursquare? Well, as it turns out, the same technology can also be used to find other people in your nearby vicinity who are just as horny as you. Grindr is a gay app that allows you to see photos of other lustful users, arranged from closest to furthest from you. If you like what you see, you send the guy a message. If he likes what he sees, you organise a meeting place and get down to business. Sorry straight people, there isn’t an app for you yet.

In order to keep them from “ruining the experience for visitors”, organisers of the annual temple fair in Nanchang, China, have ordered beggars to stay in purposely built cages. Those beggars not willing to comply with this are simply banished from the city by officials. The zoo-like structures are so small that adults are unable to stand up inside them.

And here it is: a new TV advert mocking fanboys waiting outside Apple stores whenever there is a new release. The tagline for the ad, referring to the Galaxy S3, reads: “The next big thing is already here.”
