Bomb attached to teens neck thought to be a hoax

Police outside the victim's house in Sydney

Well, not a hoax, just not a real bomb...

Yesterday, one teenage girl in Mosman, Sydney, Australia got quite the scare. Her house was broken into, and a homemade bomb was strapped around her neck. The Sydney police and bomb squad took about 10 hours to get the thing off, only to find that it wasn't really an explosive device at all. It was just a good replica of one.

Yessss!
This is by far one of the best shows on TV, and I cant wait for the new season.
If you like zombies, suspense, lots of gory violence, and zombies, YOU MUST WATCH THIS SHOW!
The new season starts October 16th on AMC.
You should watch the first season in the mean time.
It's Epic.

Clever spoof ad by Greenpeace. This campaign was done by Greenpeace UK, though, so feel free to buy a VW here in the good ol' US of A.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather's awful outfit

Seriously? Who wears a matching shirt underneath a zip up. Not just matching, but IDENTICAL. Like, you wouldn't even know they were different shirts. Talk about tacky.

Maybe he should stop gambling all the time and buy some damn clothes!

But on a positive note, HE'S ACTUALLY GONNA FIGHT SOON! (it's about time...)

Dirtiest dunk of the year...

Last night, during game one of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, Taj Gibson threw down this RIDICULOUS dunk over/through Dwyane Wade.
Easily the best dunkface of the year...

Even D. Wade had a little laugh about it this morning on his twitter.

If the BULLS keep playing like this, the HEAT do not even stand a chance...

Watch this if you want to have your mind blown

This is an animation called MUTO by Italian artist BLU, who's work

can be seen on streets all over the world.

This video was shot on the streets of Buenos Aires.

CRAZYYY.

It just keeps going and going.

There's a huge sample of his work over at Abduzeedo

This wall used to have art on it...

Muggsy Bouges & Manute Bol

Here we have a picture of Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bol. Look how big that fool is, and look how little that other fool is!!

Manute Bol is the tallest player to ever play in the NBA, measuring in at an enormous 7'7". The man also only weighed 230 lbs. Talk about a string bean....

Muggsy Bogues is the shortest player to ever play in the NBA. He stood at a whopping 5'3", 136 lbs. Dude was tiny.

Kobe Bryant, 11 years old...

I wonder if any of the people in this photo knew he would grow up to be the greatest of all time... It's crazy that it looks like Kobe, just as a little kid. I'm digging his flat top for sure.

I wonder if he knew he would have millions of fans, all over the globe? Millions of dollars from shoe contracts? Must be nice to be the greatest...

Whistler Blackcomb XXS tilt-shift video

Even though it doesn't feel like it here in sunny Southern California, winter is in full swing. In ~~less desirable~~ other parts of the country, people are snowed in their houses, wishing they were lucky enough to be enjoying 75-80 degree weather in January.

This video gets me in the mood for snow. Good thing I'm going to Mammoth next weekend... (yes!)

Here it is in all it's glory. You all know how much I love miniature photography..

Diamond Encrusted Baby Skull? Really?

This piece is called "For Heaven's Sake" by British artist Damien Hirst.

I'm not too sure why anyone in their right mind would waste the time or money to do something like this. Must be one weird guy.

The skull is cast in platinum, and covered with over 8,100 diamonds. 8,100 DIAMONDS!!

Aiaiai | TMA-1 Headphones

These TMA-1 Headphones from Aiaiai are do damn sick! Flat Black, nothing else. It's nice to see a company take a step back on the marketing side and offer a headphone that's just plain cool...

And the best part is, they were designed with the help of some of the biggest DJ's in the world (A-Trak, Boys Noize, Erol Alkan, MSTRKRFT, and 2manyDJs a.k.a. Soulwax), so they should have the sound to go with the looks.

They better sound good, costing a fairly steep $240 (180 euros). Yea, they'll ship from Denmark, so that's kinda cool...
