Flickr user A_Riddle perfectly duplicated the pose and costuming from a scene in Episode IV of Star Wars. Presumably Princess Leia has the grace not to get kicked out of the store for ordering this way.

In the old 1930s Fleischer Studios Popeye theatrical shorts, Jack Mercer was the voice of Popeye and Margie Hines the voice of Olive Oyl. They lived out the romance of the characters they played by getting married in 1939. The couple had spinach for their wedding breakfast. This information is making the rounds now because a rare publicity photo from the event is currently up for sale on eBay.

Have you ever done anything truly extraordinary with your life? Well, whatever it is, I'm sure that it pales in comparison with this extraordinary feat by Randon Beasley of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The above video shows him stuffing thirty quarters into his belly button.

Yes, that's thirty quarters.

A couple of other impressions are discernible by the end of the video:
1. He's doing this to impress a girl (holding the camera)
2. It's working

This video is from a match between two Moroccan teams. Khalid Askri, the goalie playing for Rabat, thought that he had successfully defended his goal. But the spin that he placed on the soccer ball caused it to slowly travel into the net after he had already turned away.

Abram Sauer of Esquire uncovered a disturbing truth: you haven't actually maintained a 36" inch waist all these years. Men's fashions, like women's, reflect vanity sizing:

I enjoyed many of these pants, as I mentioned, but I'm still perturbed. This isn't the subjective business of mediums, larges and extra-larges — nor is it the murky business of women's sizes, what with its black-hole size zero. This is science, damnit. Numbers! Should inches be different than miles per hour? Do highway signs make us feel better by informing us that Chicago is but 45 miles away when it's really 72? Multiplication tables don't yield to make us feel better about badness at math; why should pants make us feel better about badness at health? Are we all so many emperors with no clothes?

Naan is a type of Indian flatbread. Honeytop Speciality Foods in Britain recently created what may the largest single piece of naan in the world:

The record-breaking naan was 10ft by 4ft and has a total area of 40 sq ft - the equivalent of 167 normal size naan breads – and took bakers over five hours to make and 8 staff to carry.

The beast of breads was made using an authentic naan recipe including yoghurt, ghee and Kalonji seeds and weighing more than 40kg and cooked in a specialist tandoori-style oven with the capacity to cook an authentic bread of such magnitude.

Graphic designer Ben Terrett's favorite measurement is the distance from the earth to the moon and back. He wondered how many uses of the typeface Helvetica would fit in that distance:

The distance to the moon is 385,000,000,000 mm.

The size of an unkerned piece of normal cut Helvetica at 100pt is 136.23 mm.

Therefore it would take 2,826,206,643.42 helveticas to get to the moon.

The diabolically laughing folks at Evil Mad Scientists Laboratories developed a machine that will draw precise patterns on an egg:

The Eggbot has a rigid but adjustable chassis that allows you to mount spherical or egg-shaped objects of various sizes, and rotate them about their axis of symmetry using a stepping motor under computer control. A second stepping motor moves a pen about an axis perpendicular to that "egg" axis, and a small servo motor raises or lowers the pen above the egg surface.
