Chinese Artist Vacuums Beijing Air For 100 Days And Makes A Brick Out Of Findings

I'm sure you've heard the statistics that say breathing the polluted air in Beijing is like smoking 40 cigarettes per day, and air pollution is responsible for 4,000 deaths a day in China, but stats are hard to visualize.

So in order to bring attention to the environmental issue of air pollution, and illustrate how bad the air actually is in Beijing, performance artist "Nut Brother" vacuumed the air for months then made a brick out of his findings.

His vacuuming lasted four hours a day for 100 days, and then he mixed the soot and filth he'd gathered from the air with clay and created one big ol' brick of Beijing smog. *cringe*

Guy Gets Slapped By Cat For Christmas

(Image Link)

They say Santa has his eyes and ears everywhere in the world, spying on humans when they're sleeping and awake to help the big guy formulate his naughty and nice lists.

These agents are said to be elves, but Saint Nick's a crafty old codger and he knows that people can spot his elves a mile away, so he has started using other less conspicuous agents, such as cats.

They see you when you're bad or good, or when you're sitting in a recliner laughing at your friend who's passed out on the ground. Sometimes they report their findings to Santa, sometimes they simply deliver a slap to the offender!

Woman Demonstrates What It's Like To Have Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is one of those conditions people constantly joke about because they don't understand it at all, or they think "So you constantly take little naps, what's the big deal"

Well, according to this video by Sleepy Sarah Elizabeth that began as an accidental recording of a sleep attack, narcolepsy can be a really big deal since it shuts your body down, no matter where you are or what you're doing.

This video may give us a better understanding of what narcolepsy looks like, but it can never really explain how it feels to experience an uncontrollable sleep attack, which is clearly no laughing matter.

Intense 1982 Performance By The Cure

Most people don't think of The Cure as an intense band because they've spent much of their musical career playing dark and moody pop inspired tracks rather than punk rock.

But their roots are more hardcore than Robert Smith's brooding stage persona would lead you to believe, and in the early days they used to put on a hell of a show as a three piece band.

(YouTube Link)

This (admittedly terrible quality) footage is from a show The Cure played in April of 1982 at Davout Studio in Paris, France, for the French TV show L'Echo des Bananes.

If you're a fan of The Cure this video is sure to put them back into heavy rotation on your playlist, and if you've never accepted them into your music loving life now's as good a time as any!

The 2016 Pirelli Calendar Has A Bold New Look

The Pirelli Calendar is known for featuring images of scantily clad (if not fully nude) women who are supposed to represent the sexy and sophisticated Pirelli brand.

But this year Pirelli took a big step in a bold new direction for their 2016 calendar by featuring strong women known for more than physical beauty, like Amy Schumer, Fran Liebowitz, Tavi Gevinson and the eternally artsy Yoko Ono.

Pirelli chairman Marco Tronchetti Provera says the new look of the calendar "reflects contemporary society", and with the queen of portrait photography Annie Liebovitz behind the lens the new calendar is their most sophisticated yet!

Stephen Colbert And Liam Neeson Star In "Candy Crush: The Movie"

Stephen Colbert, Liam Neeson, Candy Crush Saga- what do these three dissimilar nouns have in common?

They all came together in one deliciously ridiculous sketch on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a sketch inspired by the news that Activision Blizzard has just acquired King Digital Entertainment for a staggering 5.9 billion dollars.

Activision is also about to get into the filmmaking business, making all movie adaptations of their video games in-house, so Colbert connected the dots and predicted what the upcoming Candy Crush movie will look like.

(YouTube Link)

It's got it all- a dramatic and tragic storyline, a ton of references to elements from the game, and the image of Liam Neeson in a ridiculous outfit that you won't soon forget!

Ten British Monarchs Who Died In Humiliating Ways

Historically speaking the British monarchs were not very nice people, but for some reason their pompous misadventures in debauchery and murder are often overshadowed by the regal visage seen in classic paintings.

But portraits don't properly depict the darkness that surrounded British monarchs such as Henry VIII and King John, although you can often see the shadow of something sinister in their eyes.

With their knack for spreading that darkness around to their subjects it's not surprising people celebrated their deaths, but the worst offenders often got their just desserts in the end.

King Henry VIII (arguably) died of obesity, and his body had grown so large that a gigantic, lead-lined coffin had to be specially constructed for his burial...and then his body exploded when it was placed in the coffin.

King John got to die relatively intact, but his death was perhaps the most humiliating of them all- because he literally crapped himself to death due to dysentery. But at least he went out while eating a "surfeit of peaches"...

What The Avengers Should Look Like, According To The Comics

Filmmakers have to take certain liberties with the characters they adapt for the big screen, and one of the biggest changes they always seem to make is to the character's appearance, namely their costume and accessories.

There's something about the way those super folks look in the comics that filmmakers don't see as modern enough (except for Spider-Man's costume) which, in the case of Tony Stark's facial accessory, is understandable.

But why can't Black Widow wear a mask or Hawkeye a cowl or hood? And what's wrong with the bright color schemes Thor and The Hulk are seen sporting in the comics? Why can't Hulk wear his purple pants in peace?

Images From Moments That Make You Think "I Need An Adult!"

Most of us outgrow that "I need an adult!" feeling by the time we're in high school, or during our college days at the latest, but sometimes we encounter scary stuff that makes us feel like a kidult in need of adult supervision.

(Image Link)

That's the feeling you get when you see something creepy that makes you want to hide in the closet and count to a hundred, or someone who gives you nightmares like a 5-year-old after watching Gremlins.

(Image Link)

You may find it quite comforting to know there are other grown folks out there who feel like little kids when they encounter something creepy, but try and stifle your screams if you look through this post while you're all alone!

The Book Of Mormon Missionary Positions

Trey Parker and Matt Stone must have known they would stir up controversy with their Broadway musical The Book Of Mormon, but they had no way of knowing it would become a sacrilegious smash hit.

Now there's a new wave of controversy following fresh on the heels of the hit Broadway play- The Book Of Mormon Missionary Positions, a SFW sex instruction manual for door-to-door evangelists.

This ridiculous photo series was put together by Portland-based photographer Neil Dacosta as a satirical jab at The Church Of Latter-Day Saints' stance on homosexuality. Oh, I think they got the message!

Five-Year-Old Drummer Plays System Of A Down's "Chop Suey"

Kids are dropping their nursery rhymes and Doodlebop tracks at an early age these days, trying to follow in the footsteps of their rock lovin' parents and get their garage bands started early.

That's all well and good for the preteens, but how are you going to get your kindergartner off to school when they're too busy rockin' out on the drums?

(YouTube Link)

The young drummer in the video is five-year-old Eduarda Henklein-Baterista, the song is System Of A Down's "Chop Suey", and the time is sometime after SpongeBob but before bedtime.

Victoria's Secret Models At Their First And Last Runway Shows

Few could have foreseen how big the Victoria's Secret empire would become, especially since they started out below market leader Frederick's Of Hollywood, but nowadays they're a mainstay of the fashion world.

Some Angels, such as Adrian Lima, have been around from the very beginning, while other names often associated with Victoria's Secret, like Laetitia Casta, made a huge impression in a very short amount of time.

This year Harper's Bazaar celebrated the 20th anniversary of the wildly popular Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with a look back at the beauties who let the Secret out of the bag, pairing images of their first and last runway look.

Adam Sandler's 2015 Update For The Chanukah Song

There's no way Adam Sandler could have known what a big hit The Chanukah Song would become, but now it's such a beloved song that even Gentiles play it as part of their holiday song playlist.

But Adam's original version came out twenty years ago and features somewhat outdated references, so he felt it was time for an update.

(YouTube Link)

Adam recorded this update of The Chanukah Song (the fourth incarnation, apparently) at a show he played with some funny friends in San Diego, and shared it just in time for the holidays on his YouTube channel Happy Madison. What a great gift, thanks Adam!

Australian Police Officers Singing Along To Song From Frozen

It's that time of year, when people start wearing Christmas themed clothing, everything comes in pumpkin spice flavor, and cops start singing songs from Frozen.

Wait, I think that last one is a new thing, because last I checked this is a tough time of year to be a cop.

I guess it's a good thing these two officers from New South Wales, Australia have found a fun way to relieve stress and keep their spirits bright with a little sing-a-long in the squad car.

(YouTube Link)

Someone should tell these cops that criminals feel better about committing crimes when they think the cops are a bunch of goofballs!

The Best Of The Worst From Black Friday 2015

(Image Link)

Black Friday isn't always an apocalyptic affair, some cities are full of sensible people who actually remain relatively calm while shopping for what are supposedly the "best bargains of the year".

If you're lucky enough to live in one of these calm cities then you've probably found Black Friday to be no big deal, but if not then you may have witnessed something like this video. (Warning: fights)

(YouTube Link)

Did retailers intend to make Black Friday a gladiatorial free-for-all, or are people simply so uninformed they still believe those deals are worth becoming a part of a battle royale?

(YouTube Link)

It's hard to believe there are people who still think Black Friday offers unbeatable deals, especially when Cyber Monday has been proving them wrong for a few years now. Maybe people just feel better about a bargain they had to fight to get?
