Nine American Hand Gestures That'll Get You Punched in the Face Overseas - Thrillist Nation
Nine innocent gestures that'll get you punched in the face in other countries
Gesture: Thumbs up (pt. 2)
What you think it means: "It's all good!"
What it means in Arabic countries: A thumbs up in any Muslim country pretty much means, loosely translated, that you hope the person you're gesturing at has a very pleasant trip to the proctologist.

9 phrases no guy ever wants to hear - Guyism
9 phrases no guy ever wants to hear
3 ?Hello sir, I?m here to pick up your daughter.?
Every guy dreads this moment. I don?t even have a daughter and I still dread this moment. And that?s because guys know. They know what you?re thinking. They know what you want to do with their daughter. They know because they?ve been you. They get it. We?ve all been on the other side of this, laughed at the psycho who stands menacingly in the door while you sit in the car with his beloved daughter. But one day that psycho will be you and you will want to beat the shit out of some seventeen year old asshole with horny eyes and a perpetual smirk. It?s the true circle of life.

8 Cartoon Characters Who Are Way More Disturbing Than You Remember - CollegeHumor Article
8 Cartoon Characters Who Are Way More Disturbing Than You Remember
Given that the show he's in is basically just a serial killer's fever dream, Eustace may seem like an odd choice for most disturbing, but think about it: How many times in the series' run did Eustace emotionally and physically abuse Courage. He enjoys animal cruelty so much, in fact, that he owns a mask specifically for that purpose. It's no wonder Courage is so jittery all the time. He's basically one of those Sarah McLachlan dogs.

Leonardo Da Vinci's wacky piano is heard for the first time, after 500 years
Leonardo Da Vinci's wacky piano is heard for the first time, after 500 years
A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci.
Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance genius who painted the Mona Lisa, invented the ??viola organista?? - which looks like a baby grand piano ? but never built it, experts say.
The viola organista has now come to life, thanks to a Polish concert pianist with a flair for instrument-making and the patience and passion to interpret da Vinci?s plans.
Full of steel strings and spinning wheels, Slawomir Zubrzycki?s creation is a musical and mechanical work of art.
??This instrument has the characteristics of three we know: the harpsichord, the organ and the viola da gamba,?? Zubrzycki said as he debuted the instrument at the Academy of Music in the southern Polish city of Krakow.
The instrument?s exterior is painted in a rich midnight blue, adorned with golden swirls painted on the side. The inside of its lid is a deep raspberry inscribed with a Latin quote in gold leaf by 12th-century German nun, mystic and philosopher, Saint Hildegard.
??Holy prophets and scholars immersed in the sea of arts both human and divine, dreamt up a multitude of instruments to delight the soul,?? it says.
The flat bed of its interior is lined with golden spruce. Sixty-one gleaming steel strings run across it, similar to the inside of a baby grand.
Each is connected to the keyboard, complete with smaller black keys for sharp and flat notes. But unlike a piano, it has no hammered dulcimers. Instead, there are four spinning wheels wrapped in horse-tail hair, like violin bows.
To turn them, Zubrzycki pumps a pedal below the keyboard connected to a crankshaft. As he tinkles the keys, they press the strings down onto the wheels, emitting rich, sonorous tones reminiscent of a cello, an organ and even an accordion.
The effect is a sound that da Vinci dreamt of, but never heard; there are no historical records suggesting he or anyone else of his time built the instrument he designed.
A sketch and notes in da Vinci?s characteristic inverted script is found in his Codex Atlanticus, a 12-volume collection of his manuscripts and designs for everything from weaponry to flight.
??I have no idea what Leonardo da Vinci might think of the instrument I?ve made, but I?d hope he?d be pleased,?? said Zubrzycki, who spend three years and 5000 hours bringing da Vinci?s creation to life.

Temperature Inversion Creates Rare Sight At The Grand Canyon - Business Insider
Here's A Mind-Blowing Picture Of The Grand Canyon That Only Happens Once Every 10 Years
On Friday, a rare weather phenomenon created an incredible sight at the Grand Canyon.
The canyon was filled with fog due to something known as "temperature inversion," according to the Grand Canyon National Park Facebook page, which posted photos to its website.
"We are currently experiencing an after Thanksgiving treat," a photo caption read. "No, it's not more pumpkin pie. It's a once in a lifetime, outstanding, crazy, amazing, mind blowing inversion. Enjoy."
Typically, the temperature of the air decreases with height. When the temperature of the atmosphere is "inverted," warm air sits on top of cooler air.
"The warm air above cooler air acts like a lid, suppressing vertical mixing and trapping the cooler air at the surface," explains the National Weather Service.
Temperature inversions happen once or twice a year, typically in the winter months. However, ranger Erin Whittaker told MailOnline that the most recent inversion only happens once every 10 years ? it's special because the fog filled up the entire canyon (not just parts) and it happened on a cloudless day. As a result, the view was particularly beautiful.
"Here's what Mather Point looked like this morning with the rare inversion," the National Park Service said on the Grand Canyon Facebook page. "Word spread like wildfire and most ran to the rim to photograph it. What a fantastic treat for all!"

2014 Calendar of Famous Movie Monsters in Surprisingly Sexy Poses
Los Angeles artist Erika Deoudes has created a fantastic 2014 calendar filled with illustrations of famous movie monsters in ?surprisingly sexy? poses. Various sized calendars and individual prints are available to purchase online from Erika?s Etsy store, modusDeoudes. You can also view more of the alluring monsters on her Facebook page.
These monsters have merely slipped into something a little more comfortable. And their nether regions are always covered, even if they?re unrecognizable. These are very kinky monsters, but the kind you can take home to mother. The months in this calendar are a silly mash-up of the name of the monster and the name of the month.

Brothers Have Posed for a Photo with Santa Every Year Since 1984
Brothers Have Posed for a Photo with Santa Every Year Since 1984
As a baby in 1980, Mike Gray posed for his first picture with Santa, starting a family tradition that would continue without fail for the next 33 years. He was joined in 1984 by his younger brother Martin. As the pictures advance in time, the brothers can be seen progressing through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and finally, fatherhood. As Martin told PetaPixel, the brothers expect the tradition to continue ?until our children get embarrassed by us.?

Teacher who was fired after taking bikini photos goes hardcore, poses for Hustler
Olivia Sprauer, also known by her model name Victoria James, was forced to resign after the Florida high school that employed her found out about a modeling career that included sexy bikini photos. And now that she?s been fired, she?s going all out, opting to go straight to the filthy pages of Hustler.
News of Sprauer?s job loss blew up earlier this year when the principal of Martin County High School was tipped off to some of her side modeling work under the Victoria James pseudonym. Sprauer, then an English teacher for freshmen, was called into the principal?s office, confronted with the photos, and coerced into leaving the position.
Sprauer made mention of an offer from Hustler in a May interview with Huffington Post, telling the outlet that she?d rather hold out for an offer from Playboy.
?I don?t do spread-eagle shots for the camera, so I don?t think Hustler is going to work out,? Sprauer said.
Now, seven months later, Hustler is touting her 14-page pictorial for the magazine. And, presumably, enough cash gave Sprauer a change of heart.
?If getting naked betters my life, that?s a positive thing for me,? Sprauer said in a press release.
Emboldened by all her success, Sprauer posted a photo last night of a fortune cookie?s fortune that reads ?You are admired by everyone for your talent and ability.?
Apparently fortune cookies now include tasteful recreations of gynecological exams as a showing of ?talent and ability.? The more you know.
If you need a preview of Sprauer?s photoshoot, here?s a pretty NSFW taste of her on the cover below. The magazine hits newsstands on Christmas Eve.

Project Utopia - Giant Private Floating Island Concept - Supercompressor.com
You heard it here first, Russian oligarchs: superyachts are over. The new status symbol will soon be the giant floating island, as long as Project Utopia gets off the ground... and into the water.
From the crazy engineers at Yacht Island Design, the concept is an 11-story, 325-foot wide behemoth of architectural wonder with the volume equivalent to that of a modern-day cruise liner. Plenty big to accommodate your very own micronation.
Inside, there's enough room to pack in just about anything you might dream up ? restaurants, arcades, bowling alleys, a casino, megapools with their own casinos ? and plenty of space outdoors to take in the beauty around you, including an observation deck 200 feet above the surface with 360-degree panoramas. But should you get bored with whatever blissful crystal blue cove you're hanging in at a given moment, just fire up the thrusters beneath the legs and you can relocate... slowly.

Sarah Massey ? whom I swear we?ve written about before but I can?t find it ? has the world?s largest ass. And, at seven feet wide, it?s absolutely horrifying.
Morbid obesity has never looked so self-satisfied. I?m just glad her kids seem to be pretty well-adjusted despite their mom living life like she?s Little Miss Muffet sitting on a tuffet.
Still, though, I get guys who like big asses ? even the weirdo chubby chaser types ? but this? Come on, dude. Like I don?t even know how you get to a place where you could impregnate her. The biology is blowing my mind. Does her children?s father have to jerk off into a crazy straw inserted inside of her? Or is he just packing the type of meat that can double for a walking stick? I want to know more and, at the same time, I want to know nothing.

Moai Easter Island Statue Snowmen Decorate the Yard of a Canadian Home
Rather than make snowmen in their front yard, the residents of this house in Waterloo, Canada made snow versions of the monolithic moai statues found on Easter Island. Apparently they did the same thing last year as well.

Isaac Asimov’s Predictions for the Year 2014 That He Made For 50 Years in the Future in 1964
Isaac Asimov?s Predictions for the Year 2014 That He Made For 50 Years in the Future in 1964
After visiting the New York World?s Fair in 1964, Isaac Asimov was inspired to make some predictions about the world in the year 2014, 50 years in the future. His predictions, published in the New York Times, included many remarkably accurate forecasts?that robots would be cleaning up around the house, we?d we watching 3-D movies, and riding self-driving cars. He also predicted earth?s population at 6.5 billion (it?s actually 7 billion today). Some of his predictions were a little too optimistic however: moon bases, flying cars powered by compressed air, and the widespread use of the underground home.

Visa Requirements for US Citizens - Which Countries Require a Visa Before They Fly? - Thrillist Nation
Which countries require Americans to get a visa before they fly?
Fearless enough that our article on everything in Australia that's trying to kill you inspired you to book a flight Down Under? That's great, but did you realize you need to apply for a visa before you go? Well, you do. And though you might be able to guess some countries (like Cuba) are hard for Americans to visit, there're also some innocuous, popular destinations that won't let you in without a stamp in your passport or a completed online application.
Check out VisaMapper, a handy site that answers the ?do I need to do anything special to visit a certain place, and how, exactly, do I jump through the right hoops? questions you've got -- and can minimize the embarrassment of heading home on the exact same plane you just spent 17hrs on to get to India or China (it happens every day). Plus, it lets you scoff at lesser countries (tell it you've got a Yemeni passport and watch as the world closes its doors).

A historical timeline of everything on the McDonald's menu - Thrillist Nation
Like another legendary empire known for their arches (Rome!), McDonald's wasn't built in a day. Before you can serve billions and billions of people, you need a beloved menu. And also a bunch of catchy slogans. But most importantly, a beloved menu, whose glorious evolution is charted below in the form of an infographic that was meticulously fact-checked by researchers from McDonald's Golden Archives, who in addition to being students of fast food history, have a real knack for puns [ED NOTE: those fine folks couldn't confirm a few things, including some regional test items].
So scroll down to take a trip through time and revisit the launches of all of your favorites, ranging from classics like the original 1948 cheeseburger, to limited time offerings like the McJordan Special, and even rarer regional treats like the McLobster.

But most importantly, a beloved menu, whose glorious evolution is charted below in the form of an infographic that was meticulously fact-checked by researchers from McDonald's Golden Archives, who in addition to being students of fast food history, have a real knack for puns [ED NOTE: those fine folks couldn't confirm a few things, including some regional test items].
So scroll down to take a trip through time and revisit the launches of all of your favorites, ranging from classics like the original 1948 cheeseburger, to limited time offerings like the McJordan Special, and even rarer regional treats like the McLobster.

Mom gets in fight with kid at supermarket, kid grabs her wig, mom loses her freaking mind - Guyism
Mom gets in fight with kid at supermarket, kid grabs her wig, mom loses her freaking mind
Today?s important lesson in parenting for 2014: Don?t get in a fight with your disobedient child at a supermarket if you?re wearing an easily pulled off wig. It?s all downhill from there as the mom in this video can show you.
The good news is that I see no way this kid won?t turn out to be a valuable member of society. Many world leaders? first moment of self-actualization coincides with ripping off their mom?s wig in public, then having their mom have to be held back from murdering them in the produce aisle. Basically the first chapter of his autobiography en route to becoming President of these here United States.
