Dan Harmon has taken us back to community college, to the far reaches of the Rickstaverse and he even brought historical figures back to life just to give us a history lesson.

And now Dan is set to take us somewhere that is simultaneously really old and really new- the dark, monster infested depths of a tabletop RPG dungeon. (NSFW due to language)

HarmonQuest is an awesome new animated series adapted from actual Pathfinder RPG sessions Dan and funny friends such as Aubrey Plaza, Chelsea Peretti, Ron Funches and Paul F. Tompkins played out in front of a studio audience on Dan's Harmontown podcast.

The 10 episode first season will premiere on Seeso on July 14th, when it will prove comedians don't make the greatest tabletop RPG players, but they definitely make the game more fun!

I predict this will literally happen someday. A criminal defendant will offer his location while playing Pokémon GO as evidence of his innocence. And, at roughly the same time, a crime drama on TV will show Pokémon GO being used to frame someone for a murder he didn't commit.

It's hot outside, but it's even hotter inside your shirt! Your armpits are greenhouses for bacteria that make you . . . aromatic. And those of us who live and work with you wish that you were less olfactorily noticeable.

Rocket News 24 reports on a marvelous solution: the armpit fan. It's a battery-powered fan that clips onto your shirt sleeve. It will either relieve the heat of your armpits or spread your stench further. There's really only one way to find out for sure.

All 5 women pictured here are world-class athletes that have spent years honing their bodies into perfection. On the left is Kim Chizevsky, a bodybuilder. In the center is Cheryl Haworth, a weightlifter. On her left is Olga Karminsky, a rhythmic gymnast. They all look different, but they all compete at the top level.

Howard Schatz photographed them and many others for his book Athlete. You can see more sample pages at My Modern Met. They make you re-think what it means to have a healthy body.

It's a fish-eat-fish world out there. But the big Versurgia jellyfish helpfully provides a respite. Small, tasty slender yellowtail kingfish can hide in his bell, out of the reach of larger trumpetfish which lurk just a few inches away.

The Versurgia doesn't sting the kingfish because it doesn't have tentacles. It has spongy arms that filter-feed plankton. It does, however, have stinging threads which the kingfish have to avoid as they hang out. Earth Touch News Network describes the relationship:

The jelly also has stinging thread cells at its disposal, which the baby kingfish are careful to avoid. Their sting isn't harmful to humans, but it's enough to deter some species of fish from getting too close (apparently these trumpetfish are willing to take their chances for a quick meal). [...]

As for the kingfish, they'll stay hidden amongst the stinging threads, feeding on the jelly's leftovers until they're big enough to venture into the open ocean. Just what (if anything) the jellyfish gets out of the situation remains a mystery. In captivity, these fish often turn to snacking on their gelatinous host – likely because they don't have enough plankton.

Jessica Theriot was about to have a c-section so that her baby could be born. Her husband, Jonathan, was on his A-game, ready for action.

That game was, specifically, Pokémon GO. Yes, yes, childbirth can be stressful. But Theriot saw that a Pidgey was sitting on her bed. It was time to take action because this precious moment would never happen again. Read about his wife's reaction at BuzzFeed.

Disneyland may be the happiest place in the world, but select residents of Fullerton, California suggest that Dobbsland is even better.

Steve Dobbs, a retired engineer (naturally) bought a little electric train for his grandchildren to play with. They eventually tired of it, so he built a tunnel for he train to run through. That was interesting for a while, but, eventually, the kids found it boring.

To amuse them and himself, Dobbs built an entire miniature amusement park in his own backyard. It has animatronic characters, a clock tower, a roller coaster, and a toy submarine. Dobbsland even has your favorite characters, including Cinderella and Winnie the Pooh.

The roller coaster is a special treat. Local engineering students designed it. The Orange County Register reports:

They used engineering principles to design the track’s trajectory, which had to fit the lawn’s 30-by-13-foot imprint.

“My main requirement was that I wanted it to be safe for little kids to ride, but also fun for teens and adults to ride,” Dobbs said.

Built at Cal Poly Pomona in three months, the coaster was dismantled by the student crew and moved to Dobbs’ home. (When disassembled, every Dobbsland attraction can fit in the home’s garage.)

Dynamic Testing Solutions’ chief financial officer rode and certified the coaster, which can support riders up to 185 pounds, goes forward and backward, tops out at 12 mph and is equipped with mechanisms measuring weight and g-force.

Public service announcements are usually created by advertising agencies full of people who know how to sell products and brand companies but generally know very little about education.

(YouTube Link)

These ad agencies know how to beat a message or song into our brains, how to create imagery and scenarios that stick with viewers, and how to send a message to the masses.

But they don't really know much about restraint, since over-the-top ads help them sell products, so maybe hiring them to make PSAs isn't such a good idea after all...

In every pack there are alpha leaders and omega followers, canines who are the first to jump into the pool and show the others how to act and those who doggy paddle in a blind panic.

Can you guess whether Beja, the “non-swimming” dog in this video, is an alpha or an omega?

(YouTube Link)

Beja is a regular at the Happy Tails resort in Norfolk, Virginia, and even though she has been coming to the resort for years, and knows how to swim, she'd rather stand in the shallow water and stare. Way to make the doggy pool party awkward, Beja!

If you believe everything you saw in the latest James Bond film Spectre, then you probably think Mexico City has an awesome Dia de los Muertos parade, and you would be wrong.

(Image Link)

The truth is- Dia de los Muertos is generally more of a solemn holiday in Mexico, devoid of galas, parades or crazy costumes.

And yet the Day of the Dead parade in Spectre looks so cool that Mexico's Tourism Minister Enrique de la Madrid Cordero wants to make it happen because “tourists are going to come looking for the carnival”.

(Image Link)

Creating a Day of the Dead parade is the logical next step for Mexico, since the country paid $14 million to appear in Spectre, and that way the Mexican people can say they got something for their money, right? (sarcasm)

Don't you hate it when you hold the door open for somebody who doesn't even acknowledge your existence?

Even worse for the eternally polite is the moment when you've just stepped through the doorway and entered the building and see somebody walking up to the door

Are you supposed to turn around and open the door for them too? Apparently only if they're really attractive...

Shaun Micallef of The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) explored this very dilemma a while back in the comedy sketch “Polite Distances”, proving politeness is often a ridiculous affair.

Do you see people wandering around your neighborhood aimlessly while staring at their phones?

Well, yes. And it's been that way for years. But now there's a new reason: Pokémon GO.

Pokémon GO is an augmented reality game which projects Pokémon all over the world. Download the app to play the game and you'll see Pokémon layered over the real world. They are, apparently, everywhere (for example, a younger librarian at my library informs me that our workplace is infested with them).

In the desire to catch 'em all, some players are disrespecting the boundaries of personal property. They're going to hunt Pokémon, even if it means being rude or committing trespassing.

Does having a gym layered on my house enhance or detract from my home’s value?

— Boon Sheridan (@boonerang) July 10, 2016

Twitter user Boon Sheridan lives in a house that used to be a church. It's now a Pokémon Gym, which is a major nexus for gameplay. Players want access to his house. That's problematic, as he explains in a lengthy thread.

During the Old West era railroads helped connect the entire country, some of the biggest cities in America were built, and America set its sights on becoming a coast-to-coast nation.

But the most famous figures of the era are still the gunslingers, the guys (and a few gals) who liked to settle their disputes with six guns rather than stern words.

Gunslingers such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and "Wild Bill" Hickok came to represent the Wild in the Wild West, capturing the imagination of people who lived in the civilized world back east.

And yet many of the deadliest shootists from the Old West were overshadowed by the more famous names mentioned above, despite the massive body counts they had under their belt.

John Wesley Hardin is said to be "the worst bad man that Texas ever produced", who claimed to have killed 42 men and committed his first murder when he was just 15 years old.

Hardin was so quick tempered he supposedly shot a man for snoring.

"Killin' Jim" Miller is another deadly shootist time forgot, and despite being a bit of a dandy he is thought to have gunned down close to 50 men in cold blood.

Jim's life of crime began when he blew away his sister's husband with a shotgun after a disagreement, and was known to tell folks he would kill anyone for money, including politicians, marshals and Sheriff Pat Garrett himself.

Or at least you might be happy to be pooped on by a seagull drone this summer because if you are it means that you just got sunscreened. The concept is a strange marketing move by Nivea, who intends to send these beauties out to beaches where they will target children not sporting sunscreen (a UV camera can tell which children aren't coated in it) so maybe there is something to the old idea that having a bird poop on you is good luck.
