One man's quest to create the perfect smile...
Back in the 19th century, people were keen on all sorts of crazy fucking medical experimentation. One man, Guillaume Duchenne, was obsessed with finding the perfect smile. And his method to find the perfect smile involved using electricity to shock various parts of the face, from people of all ages and walks of life, in order to force them to smile.
Duchenne started zapping all along...

What a war over the Hormuz Strait would look like
As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 begins, there’s already a potentially volatile situation brewing off the coast of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. As a response to threats of sanctions imposed on its oil exports, Iran has threatened to close the Strait, which is a valuable throughway for not just oil, but all sorts of maritime traffic in the region.
The US and others have expressed...

The political issue here is why has Obama never...
Obama’s birth certificate? That’s such old news. The real issue the GOP should be undertaking this election cycle, the real hard questions they should be asking is “Why has Barack Obama never acknowledged that when he was younger, he was part of a super secret government program that was teleporting US citizens to the secret colony on Mars?”
Yes, seriously.
In a...

Finally, the world has a self-emptying diaper so...
Some clever people in Japan recently invented a self-emptying diaper for men as an alternative to a catheter or just pissing your pants. You put your wang in the little pocket and as soon as a sensor detects pee, it whisks it away.
The setup is simple: there’s a pocket for one’s penis, an electronic sensor, a suction tube and a vacuum tank. When the diaper detects urine, the...

Rumor: The Wii U will have a full blown app store...
After saying that they had no plans to open up a real app store on any of their consoles, rumor has it now Nintendo may be planning a real, full-blown app store on the Wii U. As much as you might think it would be nice to have pure game consoles, that’s just not cutting it anymore.
The Daily has learned that Nintendo plans to quit messing around with the limited offerings and go full-out...

Anonymous asked: What makes cocaine addictive? I've used it several times and gone long periods without and never really felt the need for it. Sometimes though, I really feel like doing a few lines. Is it a psychological thing or is there really a chemical dependence? Google searches lead me to addiction clinics and wiki articles but nothing that can really explain it to me in advanced layman terms. Any...

Takeshi's Challenge, the most difficult game ever,...
Released by Taito in December of 1986, Takeshi’s Challenge (Takeshi no Chōsenjō) is often considered the most difficult and one of the worst video games ever made. The Famicom classic only sold 80,000 copies, and now it’s been translated into English.
The game stars Japanese celebrity Takeshi Kitano and was in many ways, well ahead of its time. The game allowed you to beat up and...

Rare ancient and brainless fish caught on camera....
Marine surveys off the coast of Scotland have captured a glimpse of the rarely seen amphixious — a brainless, faceless fish considered to be one of the first creatures to evolve a backbone over half a billion years ago. Instead of a brain, the fish’s essential functions are controlled simply through its spinal cord.
The fish has a primitive spinal chord and appears to have scales, but...

The Envision custom portable makes your old...
Ever since Ben Heck started making custom handheld game systems, almost every console has been converted into some sort of handheld version. This GameCube mod, called the Envision is one of the simpler and nicer looking GameCube portable mods I’ve seen, even if the buttons look slightly wiggly.
Unlike most Gamecube “handheld” mods, this one skips the bulky optical drive, and requires...

China and Japan are all about building really fast trains. With high populations and lots of crowding, trains in east Asia are as essential to commuting and traveling as they are in Europe. A couple days ago, the Chinese government unveiled that can go 310mph, which is faster than most small commuter planes and makes it the fastest wheeled train ever.
As a side note, I love that now we have to...

Dropbox experimenting with photo and video import,...
Dropbox can be incredibly useful, but its limitation is that it requires you to actually drop files into your Dropbox folder from a computer. But now, Dropbox is apparently experimenting with the idea of automatic photo and video importing to your Dropbox account. That would be handy.
In a new “Experimental Forum Build” of the app for Windows, Mac and Linux, photos and videos will be slurped...

Marvel's lawyers arguing in real life that X-Men...
For all the discussion on the pages of comic books about whether mutants are human or not, when it comes to the real world, Marvel is arguing fiercely that X-Men are not human. But it’s not an ideological debate, it’s all about taxes.
Toys manufactured in other countries and imported into the US are subject to taxes, but those taxes are lower if the toys represent non-human...
