Skydiving Without A Parachute Is As Batsh** Crazy As It Sounds




This will take your breath away and not give it back.

Watch daredevil Antti Pendikainen leap from a hot air balloon without a parachute, 4,000 meters above Finland.

This would be a good time for parents to rehearse that speech for your children: "Just because someone jumps without a parachute doesn't mean you have to."

Our thrill-seeker is chased in the air by two fully equipped men who catch him after he plummets through the clouds and makes our heart drop into our shoes.


"I've always wanted to jump without a parachute, and now I've done it," he told Caters.

Hey, it's great to have goals, but this?


Pendikainen said he trained for a year and had completed the stunt many times in his head.


"I'm never afraid – next I want to do something even more fun and crazy," he told Caters.

This would be a tough one to top.

Of Course This Was The Most Popular Emoji On Twitter This Year

Did the past year make you feel , or ? Twitter's 2015 retrospective may refresh your memory. 

The social media giant on Monday unveiled its annual year-end review to commemorate the defining moments and biggest trends of the last 12 months. It also included a list of the most popular emojis by usage. 

Take a look at this year's most-beloved pictographs:


The "face with tears of joy" character, better known as ,  topped Twitter's charts, followed by ("smiling face with heart-shaped eyes) and ("loudly crying face").

The popularity of should come as no surprise. After all, the emoji was recently named 2015's "word of the year" by Oxford Dictionaries, sparking an intense online discussion about the less-than-orthodox choice. (It's safe to assume that the debate contributed to the emoji's popularity on Twitter and other social networks.) 

In a statement about the choice, President of Oxford Dictionaries Casper Grathwohl wrote: "You can see how traditional alphabet scripts have been struggling to meet the rapid-fire, visually focused demands of 21st-century communication. It’s not surprising that a pictographic script like emoji has stepped in to fill those gaps -- it’s flexible, immediate, and infuses tone beautifully."

Earlier this year, mobile technology business SwiftKey found that made up 20 percent of all the emojis used in the United Kingdom in 2015, and 17 percent of those in the United States -- a rapid increase from 4 percent and 9 percent, respectively, in 2014.

If Christmas And Hanukkah Were People We All Knew

Hanukkah gets the short end of the stick when it comes to holiday coverage. It's hard to compete with stupid sexy Christmas with its red-nose reindeers making out with sugarplum fairies under mistletoes.

To better highlight this holiday gap, Comedy duo Soren and Jolles show you exactly what Christmas and Hanukkah would be like if they were people in your lives.

Isn't This Doggie A Little Short For A Stormtrooper?




Hold on, is that adorable four-legged creature a member of the Star Wars' Imperial Stormtrooper army? 

Why yes, yes it is. 

Penny Bark-Bark is a 4-year-old doberman pinscher who would have no problem protecting Darth Vader from intergalactic threats.  

But Penny's real loyalty lies with her owner Sabrina Ridler, who spent hundreds of hours making the costume for the giant doberman by hand. 

So cue "The Imperial March," because this dog has places to be. (Like the opening night of "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" on Dec. 18).

Austrian Police Stupefied Over 100,000 Euros Found In Danube


It's not every day that you find cold, hard cash floating around in a river.

On Saturday morning, two young men came across about 100,000 euros ($108,000) in banknotes floating down the Danube River in Vienna. 

Police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer told The WorldPost Monday that police had learned about the development after several people had called authorities to report they saw large amounts of money floating in the Danube. 

The two men, however, did not alert the police when they found the money. They had dived into the water to fish some of the banknotes out of the river before police arrived and retrieved the rest of the money, police spokesman Roman Hahslinger told the BBC Monday. 


As of Monday, Austrian police remain stupefied as to how or why the the money ended up in the Danube. They suspect the money came from a crime, and "don't think someone just put it in the Danube" due to the sheer amount of money involved, Maierhofer said.

While they have not found any links to crimes involving this amount of money, special investigative forces are looking into the issue and hope to find answers within the next few days, the spokesman added.

According to Austrian law, people who find over 2,000 euros ($2,170) and bring it to the police's attention can get 5 percent of the total sum, provided the money was not obtained criminally. 

The fact that bystanders alerted the police around the same time the two men found the banknotes brings up the issue of who found the money first -- and who gets the share of the money if the police deem the money clean.

But police aren't concerned about that yet. "We have to wait for what's going on there, then we can talk about the situation and what the two men get," Maierhofer said.

Bill Nye Uses Emoji To Explain Our Dreams, Make Them Come True




Bill Nye, the science guy, appeared in a new video Monday using emoji to explain dreams. Weird, since Nye talking while emoji float around his head is something we're pretty sure we saw in a dream.

He doesn't go into a lot of detail, but it's a good introduction to the subject for kids -- who, in case you forgot, are Nye's target audience.

The dreams lesson is the latest in a series of videos, produced by Mashable, that feature Nye laying out scientific concepts with the help of emoji. "It's clear that kids these days speak a whole different language," wrote Mashable editor Eric Larson last December in a post explaining the use of the cartoon images.

Whatever it takes, Bill.

Carrie Fisher's Hilarious Bulldog Gary Is Our Spirit Animal




Carrie Fisher's dog Gary showed us the true meaning of stardom during an interview on "Good Morning America" last week. 

Fisher brought the French bulldog along for what host Amy Robach deemed "one of the most entertaining interviews of all time."

Gary sat beside Fisher in his very own seat the entire time and let his tongue hang freely from his mouth as he basked in the glory that is morning network television. 

Fisher starred as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars series, and returns as General Leia in "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," in theaters on Dec. 18th. But, of course, Gary has already seen the movie during a special early screening.

So what did he think of Fisher's performance?

"His tongue wasn't out of his mouth before he saw the movie. It'll happen to everyone," Fisher said during the interview, "Worth it, though! That's how good it is. You won't care that your tongue is out of your mouth." 




There's no question that Fisher is a national treasure. But Gary, well ... Gary could quite possibly give her a run for her money. 

In addition to attending star-studded movie screenings, Gary enjoys looking at himself on camera, falling asleep during interviews, and Twitter. He's really big on Twitter, Fisher noted. He even had some things to say about his "GMA" appearance on what appears to be a personal or fan account (it's unverified, so we don't know for sure).





Gary tells it like it is. That's why he's a straight-up boss. 

So let's celebrate, world, because Fisher herself has deemed today National Gary Day:





Fisher's announcement means that today is pretty much a national holiday. So we should probably all just go home. 

P.S. This dog is not to be confused with another Gary Fisher, the inventor of the modern mountain bike.

Teacher Accused Of Leaving Bodily Fluids In Women's Shoes




A teacher in Virginia is accused of stealing women's shoes and returning them days later with bodily fluids inside, police said.

Kenneth Johnson III, who teaches math at Varina High School in Henrico County, allegedly removed multiple pairs of footwear that were placed on porches and by back doors in the locality, according to CBS 6.

Police said he returned them between one to three days later, Fox 6 News reported. The exact nature of the bodily fluids has not been revealed, but cops said they were not fecal and contained "biological evidence" that led police to believe the crimes were of a sexual nature, the Richmond Dispatch-Times reported.

The suspect wasn't fussy in his preferences, according to the Dispatch-Times, and allegedly stole all styles from pumps to sandals.

One victim said she saw the suspect stealing her running shoes as she returned home, and he told her that he loved their smell, per CBS 6. Another alleged she found a note, believed to be from the suspect, in one of her returned pumps. It said he was married, but that his wife's shoes didn't smell.

Henrico County police made a public appeal for information on Friday following four reports of shoe thefts, per the Times-Dispatch. They believe the total number of victims could be much higher.

Johnson gave himself up Saturday and charges are pending. Henrico County School spokesman Andy Jenks told CBS 6 that Johnson had been placed on administrative leave.

The Most Head-Turning Outfits At Art Basel 2015

Artists, A-list celebs, socialites and deep-pocketed art collectors flocked to Miami Beach, Florida, this past weekend for the 2015 Art Basel show. While the annual four-day festival is meant to showcase the best-of-the-best in modern and contemporary art, many attendees also use it as an opportunity to party and wear the most head-turning ensembles in the name of fine art. 

This year we spotted the husband and wife artist duo Eva & Adele decked out in matchy-matchy floral frocks, actress China Chow stepped out in a colorful babydoll dress, and street style star Edmundo Huerta (aka Di Mondo) decided that one of Christian Dior's printed jacquard bodysuit would be a hit. 

Bottom line: we can always count on Art Basel to push the sartorial envelope. 

Here are some of the most eye-catching looks of Art Basel 2015. Tell us if you think these folks look like walking works of art in the comments section below.

Casu Marzu Cheese Is Crawling With Live Maggots. On Purpose.




Cheese covered in live maggots sounds pretty disgusting, right? Well, to some it's a delicacy called Casu Marzu. 

WTF is Casu Marzu?

Casu Marzu, often called the world's most dangerous cheese, is an illegal cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, made from sheep's milk and infested with live maggots. Because of the obvious health implications, the European Union banned the cheese, however it is still available on the black market today. 

How is it made? 

The entire process takes a couple of months. First, traditional pecorino cheese is made by heating sheep's milk and letting it sit and cure for about three weeks. After that, the crust is cut off, making it inviting for flies to lay their eggs. The cheese is left in a dark hut for about two to three months so the fly eggs can hatch into larvae. As the larvae eat the rotting cheese, it passes through their bodies and the excretions give the cheese a distinct flavor and texture. The robust Casu Marzu flavor is said to taste akin to that of a ripe gorgonzola. But in reality, you're tasting larvae excrement.

How is it eaten?

The cheese is typically eaten when the maggots are still alive, as dead maggots are a sign that it has gone bad. (We're serious.) Since the maggots are alive and wiggling (and can jump to great heights when disturbed), diners need to be mindful of their eyes when eating the delicacy. It's important to note that when consuming the cheese, the maggots must be chewed and killed before swallowing, or else they can live in your body and rip holes through your intestines. The cheese is usually enjoyed on a moistened flat bread with a glass of strong red wine. Maggots and merlot anyone?

When is it eaten?

Casu Marzu has been a part of Sardinian culture for generations and is believed to be an aphrodisiac, often consumed at weddings and celebratory gatherings. 

YUM, right?

Abandoned 'Wizard Of Oz' Theme Park Opens Its Doors Just For You

During the summer of 1970, North Carolina's Land of Oz theme park welcomed a whopping 400,000 visitors in a matter of months. For a time, it was the second most-visited amusement park in the eastern United States, playing runner-up to Disney World, according to a local magazine.  

So what happened, and why have you almost certainly NEVER heard of this place?


Land of Oz was constructed on North Carolina's Beech Mountain to keep local ski employees busy during summer months. In its heyday, visitors traveled far and wide to visit Dorothy's farm house, take hot air balloon rides and stroll the legendary Yellow Brick Road.

But after just 10 years of operation, the park fell on hard times, according to its website. Its emerald gates closed, and vandals and trespassers became its only visitors.

Now, Land of Oz is legally open to the public once per year for an "Autumn in Oz" party to celebrate the magic that once was -- and still lives on -- at this eerie spot. It's also available to rent for weddings, gatherings and private tours.

Most of the time, though, the park sits completely empty. Photographer Seph Lawless captured the haunting location for his new book, "Bizarro," which focuses on abandoned amusement parks around the world. 

Oz was an otherworldly place to visit, he told HuffPost.

"It sits hidden on top of one of the highest mountain peaks in the eastern U.S., so being there was almost like entering another planet," Lawless said. "It was surreal and completely beautiful."

We have to agree.

Santa Claus, Indiana Has Christmas All Year-Round




Imagine a place where the Christmas magic never melts away, not even during the sweltering heat of summer.

This is Santa Claus, Indiana, where everything is festive from December through December. The street names are Christmas-y. The lights are up year-round. And Christmas music pretty much never stops playing. Even local businesses boast festive titles: Santa Claus Hardware, Holiday Foods, Kringle Place shopping center and Santa's Candy Castle are all staples. 

BRB, we're taking a visit... and never coming back.

Mystery Revealed In Space Station Astronaut's UFO Photo


When astronaut Scott Kelly snapped a stunning photo of south India on the night of Nov. 15, Internet chatter speculated over what appears to be something else in the picture above India -- shown in the closeup above.

Kelly, who recently broke the record for longest time spent in space by an American, tweeted the picture back to Earth from the International Space Station. UFO hunters came out of the woodwork, alleging he also photographed a bright, tubular-shaped UFO in the upper right of the image (as seen below).

Adding to the growing mystery of the object in the picture was a video posted to YouTube on Nov. 16 by "sonofmabarker" that reached nearly one million viewers. In his commentary, he says, "I would find it hard to believe that Scott Kelly did not know that this object was in his frame ... it really sticks out like a sore thumb. It's got a couple lights, one on each side, it's obviously some kind of a structure and also looks very large."

Here's the video:




This is the sort of thing that, for years, has incited many people to automatically believe that any unusual-looking lights or glowing objects photographed near the space station must be aliens. 

But it usually turns out not to be ET looking to borrow some equipment to phone home.

If you take the original picture by Kelly and simply bring up the contrast levels on it, look at what you suddenly, magically see:

That's right -- the UFO is, in fact, a UHF antenna, part of the International Space Station, which is probably why Kelly didn't notice it as anything unusual. 

The really odd thing about all of this is that UFOs-at-the-space-station aren't new. What initially seem to be visitors from far away are mostly space debris, window reflections, or parts of the space station that are illuminated in unusual ways.

Regarding this and other UFO reports from the space station, Forbes Magazine cautions against too much speculation:


When it comes to science, and especially when it comes to explaining something unexpected: before seriously considering any novel explanations for an unexpected phenomenon, you must rule out all mundane explanations. What this means is, before we're even willing to entertain the possibility of aliens, UFOs or other explanation that would entail a new discovery of any sort, we've got to rule out all the things that we know exist."


In keeping with the topic of astronauts and UFOs, TIME Magazine recounts the 1965 dual flight of two Earth-orbiting spacecraft. Gemini VI astronaut Tom Stafford reported seeing a UFO to Mission Control. They were part of a mission to practice rendezvous maneuvers with Gemini VII.

According to Time, Stafford was "explicit about what he was seeing."


'We have an object,' he radioed down. 'Looks like a satellite going from north to south, probably in polar orbit. Looks like he might be going to re-enter soon. I see a command module and eight smaller modules in front. The pilot of the command module is wearing a red suit.'

And the next thing NASA heard was a tiny but unmistakable rendition of 'Jingle Bells,' played on a miniature harmonica and a set of bells. It was Dec. 16, the heart of the Christmas season, and Gemini VI commander Wally Schirra, who had smuggled the instruments aboard, reckoned the occasion ought to be marked in some way.


In 1967, Schirra donated that Hohner harmonica to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

If you'd like to spend part (or all) of your holiday leisure time trying to catch a glimpse of possible UFOs, check out NASA's live camera on the International Space Station.

You might get lucky.

'Stormscapes 3' Shows The Stunning Power Of Nature In Ultra-HD




Severe weather has never looked so good.

"Stormscapes 3," the newest ultra-HD time-lapse weather video from Nicolaus Wegner, shows both the beauty and the ferocity of nature. The clip features supercells and other rotating systems, a tornado, daytime cloud formations and nighttime storms. 

There's also crepuscular rays, rainbows and plenty of lightning -- so much lightning that the video comes with a warning: 


"If you suffer from any negative photosensitive reactions to strobing or flashing lights, it might be advisable to skip the night focused lightning sequences of Stormscapes 3. They are...intense...welcome to mother nature's dance party (it's even crazier in person). The last two minutes are almost nothing but lightning sequences. Stop watching immediately if it becomes too much for you."


Check it out in the clip above (unless you have negative photosensitive reactions).

For more incredible weather footage, take a look at Wegner's "Stormscapes" and "Stormscapes 2."
