The beautiful inmates at a women's prison in rural Arkansas concoct a daring plan to escape. It works perfectly. The guards are unable to stop them. But the ladies can't prepare for a previously unknown menace: the Arkansas swamp shark.

It hunts the escapees. It hunts the guards. It hunts every human being that it can reach. Nothing can stop it.

No, we're not talking about how many characters George R.R. Martin has killed off, but how many readers of his multivolume series A Song of Ice and Fire. He published the first volume, A Game of Thrones, in 1996. It was a huge publishing success. Many people read it. Not all of those readers are still alive.

Jerzy Wieczorek, a doctoral student in statistics at Carnegie Mellon University, speculates that about 40,000 readers who began the series did not live to see the publication of the fifth novel, A Dance with Dragons. We can reasonably conclude that George R.R. Martin is responsible for their deaths, most of which were gruesome and cruel.

Would you like to meet people in your area for casual games of chess or church socials? Perhaps you'd enjoy an afternoon out with a nice gentleman while playing miniature golf or visiting an arcade. If so, then Tinder is for you. It's the latest social media tool of 1987.

Game of Thrones is finally back! Nathan Shields, the maestro of the pancake arts, is ready for the premier of the fifth season. For it, he prepared pancakes that look like the sigils of the major houses. I'm especially impressed with how he handled the delicate shapes in the three-headed dragon that represents House Targaryen. You can see how he made it by watching this video.

Notre-Dame des Neiges, a church in the resort town of L'Alpe d'Huez in the French Alps, has this unusual pipe organ. Jean Guillou, a master organist, designed it in 1978. The German organ builder Detlef Kleuker built it. Appropriately for a church, the shape of the organ is supposed to represent the hand of God. You can hear recordings of performances made on the organ at Pleasure of the Pipes and American Public Media.

According to internet rumor, this jungle gym that looks like it is made of human skeletons is on the grounds of the Heilig-Kreuz Kirche, a church in Munich, Germany. It is attributed to German sculptor Peter Riss, who lives in Munich. I have been unable to verify this rumor through reliable sources.

Brandy didn't choose the pug life. The pug life chose her.

While other dogs warm themselves by fireplaces and nap on carpeted floors or quilted beds, Brandy goes out into the wild. She experiences the harsh realities of her pug ancestors who lived without such comforts. It is only as the cold wind rushes past her face that she feels truly alive.

During the summer, when the snow is absent, she climbs onto her surfboard and hits the waves. Brandy knows how to live.

Only very briefly during this match does Brazilian champion Chris Teodoro De Souza use coherent words in a human language. Beyond that, she is only a grunting and roaring mound of muscle, rage, and victory.

Among the benefits of civilization are elegance and gentility. With them come a certain softness. De Souza has none of these. She has only the raw, animalistic power necessary to crush her enemies. It's a wondrous and beautiful thing.

Her howl of joy at 02:53 mark after destroying yet another opponent is spectacular.

Alec of the food blog Peckish Pendred made this colorful and fun dish for Easter weekend. The soft boiled Easter eggs look like they're in real bird nests when wrapped around hash browns. He made the nests by baking hash browns in small ceramic bowls. They remained solid after coming out of the oven.

The Nineteenth Century photographic technique of tintype suggests that we're looking into the distant past--a bygone era in which people stood stiffly for formal, dignified portraits. But these aren't images from a century and a half ago. Photographer Victoria Will attended the Sundance Film Festival and captured famous celebrities from our time using tintype photogrpahy. The results are a fascinating juxtoposition of different eras.

Artist and designer Javier Mariscal developed the Sabinas Chair. It's an outdoor chair and also serves as a lamp. A remote control permits people to adjust the illumination. It will be on display by the furniture manufacturer Vondom at the Salone del Mobile show in Milan next week.

Apple's smartwatch, colloquially called the iWatch, promises to be a highly capable computer that fits around your wrist. It'll be commercially available in just a couple weeks.

But old school computer users may prefer something a bit more retro. Do you remember the Apple II computer line? It was the first computer I ever used back in the early 1980s. The Apple II introduced an entire generation into personal computing. And now, thanks to Instructables member Aleator777, you can have one on your wrist.

His Apple II Watch looks like a tiny version of the original desktop computer. Like a lot of computers from back in those days, you'll have to build one. His step-by-step instructions, design schematics, and code should get you started.

A member of the Honor Guard of the United States Air Force must, at all times, maintain a somber and professional bearing. Airmen who wish to join must pass many tests to qualify to join the Honor Guard. Among them is the feared Rubber Chicken Test.

The airmen must remain rigidly at attention, unwavering, while instructors honk a rubber chicken in front of their faces. The chicken talks to them. But the airmen must never, ever waver. They must never smile. They must stare ahead, unmoved by the rubber chicken.

NPR lays out the scenario:

You find a time machine and travel to 1920. A young Austrian artist and war veteran named Adolf Hitler is staying in the hotel room next to yours. The doors aren't locked, so you could easily stroll next door and smother him. World War II would never happen.

But Hitler hasn't done anything wrong yet. Is it acceptable to kill him to prevent World War II?

Leaving aside the highly dubious notion that World War II could be prevented with such a simple act or that the results would be more favorable than World War II as it unfolded in real history, you have a moral dilemma.

Rebecca Friesdorf, a graduate student at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario examined how people respond to this and other moral dilemmas and their reasoning for their choices. She surveyed 6,100 people from the USA, Canada, and Germany. Friesdorf published the results of her study in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

Friesdorf found that women were less likely to kill Hitler when given the chance. Ben Tufft writes in The Independent:

While men and women both calculated the consequences of their decision and computed how many lives might be saved, females found it harder to commit murder and were more likely to let Hitler live.
