Exploding Things in a Microwave [video]
It’s actually quite simple, you put things in a microwave that aren’t supposed to be there, and watch the fireworks! Having a high speed camera handy helps.
Artist Merges Into her Work
Peruvian artist Cecilia Paredes seems to be one with her work, and disappears into her own paintings and patterns. Quite like the master of the art Liu Bolin, Cecilia uses makeup and costumes to merge into the patterns and art she crates. Cecilia doesn’t quite intend to be “invisible” in her art work. For many of the works, she makes here presence clear, but as a part of the entire work; most of which is quite amazing.
NASA Shows New, Mesmerizing ‘Blue Marble’ Images of Earth
NASA has released new “Blue Marble” images of the Earth, showing our planet in detailed, high-resolution images.

Most of these images came from the satellite Terra, that floats in orbit about 435 miles high from the earth’s surface.

Respect Talent With the Gold Medal Bottle Opener
The dude who has been popping bottle caps all day at the part deserves some recognition. The brave soul deserves deserves a medal for drinking all that beer, and opening all that bottles for the people. That honor would come with the gold medal bottle opener. Yeah it’s just $10, but it is more about the feeling.
