Futuristic movies and TV shows like Minority Report show characters using cool floating computer screens they access by waving their hands in the air while they have a super serious look on their face.
Even cooler- when the floating computer screen is voice activated, and capable of displaying those really awesome looking 3D maps they spin in the air when they're making plans.
But, like most tech that looks really cool on film, the reality would be an annoyingly unmanageable device that makes you look stupid while you use it and makes everyone nearby hate you! (NSFW language)
Nature is as ugly as it is beautiful -and it's very, very dangerous. In this incredible video, you can see the horrifying mob violence that occurs when spider crabs get their claws on an octopus -and completely rip it open.
One thing's for sure -the video will make you think twice before messing with these spider crabs.
Vatican City has failed to produce a successful sports team because their players are always too humble and reverent to keep their head in the game. They're always either looking up to God or down at their feet in the meekest way possible, which in no way helps them keep track of the ball or the players rushing towards them. But one day while they were trying out the sport of American football they gave the ball to a young lady named Maria, and she hurled that football through the air as if Jesus himself were carrying it aloft on his shoulders. It sailed down the field and landed right in the arms of a priest named Abby who was busy imploring the heavens for help and just so happened to be standing in the inzone, scoring Vatican City's first ever touchdown. And thus the Vatican City Hailmarys were born, and they would rain a blessed storm of pigskin down upon their competition...
Cheer on your favorite Catholic football team with this Vatican City Hailmarys t-shirt by Dansmash, it's a hilarious way to show some love for Mother Mary and her incredible passing skills!

The Monster had grown quite fond of reading how-to books, and he loved to watch instructional TV shows and tutorials online in order to figure out how to create things and better himself through learning. Science didn't appeal as much to him as it had to his father Victor, and his thoughts were still not clear enough to write a novel, but physical activities suited the Monster just fine. One day he was building a new bookcase and needed to cut a board down when he realized he'd left his saw in the storage shed, so rather than lurching all the way back he just chopped that board in half. And so the Monster's obsession with martial arts had begun...

Just about everyone has had to deal with a stripped screw at one point and depending on how bad it's stripped, the process can be pretty simple or infuriating. Fortunately, thanks to Instructables, now you can try five methods to deal with a stripped screw, which should make the process a lot less frustrating. A simple rubber band can help in most cases, but sometimes you need something a little more extreme. I've actually had to use the "cut a notch" method before and while cutting the notch can be a pain, the removal afterward can be worlds easier.
Rorschach once decided to get with the times and change up his wardrobe to reflect our modern society, so he had a custom QR mask made with a code that led to the Watchmen's website. He'd forgotten to consider how annoying it would be to have people walk up and scan his face with their phones everywhere he went, and then came the endless stream of comedians who thought they were being clever by taking a selfie with him. It was enough to drive Rorschach to murder, but he found an easier solution to his problems- he simply unplugged his modem and started reading books again!

There's a common misconception about the Beat Generation that persists to this day and makes Jack Kerouac roll around in his grave- Beatniks are the same as Hippies.
Putting aside the obvious facts that Beats enjoy jazz, coffee and pills while Hippies like to drop acid, drink wine and listen to psychedelic rock there's another distinction- the Beats were voracious readers.
That's not to say Hippies didn't enjoy reading too, but the written word wasn't a backbone of the movement like it was for the Beats, and where Hippies were often spaced out Jack and the Beats generally just acted obtuse.
This episode of Firing Line from 1968 features William F. Buckley, Jr. discussing the rise of the Hippies in the stuffiest way possible, while Jack Kerouac drunkenly rambles and provides comic relief.
It's hard to believe that science is under attack in the 21st century, but for some reason the regressive folks in the world see facts derived through the scientific method as a threat, which is truly bananas.
But we're not monkeying around when we say Neatorama is written by science fans for science fans, and therefore it's no surprise that the NeatoShop is full of fun shirts for the scientifically minded!
When science is under attack the scientists become like superheroes to science fans
There are few movie scenes more iconic than the scenes in Mary Poppins where Mary takes flight with her umbrella, and those magical scenes dazzle youngsters and fill their minds with wonder to this day.
But the umbrella scenes were a real pain to shoot due to the practical fx, which could have cost Julie her life- because she slipped out of her harness while hanging from a wire and fell to the stage below:
"Yes, there was a very dangerous day right at the end of filming when I was in this excruciatingly painful harness. And I was hanging around up there for the longest time with the umbrella. I thought I felt the wire leave and drop about six inches. I was nervous and very tired. So I called down and I said, 'Excuse me, when you do let me down, could you let me down really gently, because I felt myself slip and I just don't feel too safe up here.'"
She then revealed that she "plummeted to the stage", continuing: "There was an awful silence for a minute and I did let fly with a few Anglo-Saxon four-letter words, I have to admit."
Julie Andrews shared her death defying tale on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and now I have a whole new respect for her as an actress- and a stuntwoman!
While French photographer Marilyn Mugot was out purposely getting lost in Chongqing and Guilin, China when she started noticing one thing happening on the streets after dark- there were pink lights everywhere.
This touch of pink really stood out in an otherwise grey and blue city, and gave her photos an enchanted quality that could only be captured during the "blue hour"-
Unlike “golden hour,” the blue hour is cold instead of warm. It’s found not in nature but mostly in cities, where artifical interior lights interact with what’s going on outside.
At blue hour, Mugot says the world “seems to stop.” Everything that is delicate and invisible during the day comes into focus for one flickering instant. “Nothing more exists,” the artist says of standing behind the lens, “my mind gets empty.”
In the end, the photographer might be the most at home when she’s far away. In China’s blue hour, she found a place and time to set her imagination free.
Pigs are surprisingly intelligent animals that make excellent pets. In fact, they're very similar to dogs as far as personality goes. And while porcines may not be as popular as pooches, they still have their loyal fans.
