SCIENCE BUZZ: So this sounds like bad news: An expedition in Papua New Guinea found a new species of giant rat living in the crater of an ancient volcano. Oops, I buried the lead! “The rat, which has no fear of humans, measures 32 inches long, placing it among the largest species of rat known anywhere in the world.”

From the floor emerges the hand of a raccoon, wildly pilfering for kibble and easily giving us a lifetime's worth of nightmares. Do not be fooled by the video's title. This is not funny at all. RACCOON HANDS WILL HAUNT YOU. (via Stephen)

Here's a photogallery of ungrateful children who hate Santa. Even if they get over the trauma of being scared by Santa, they'll still have to deal with the harsh reality of not getting any Christmas presents ever again.

Puppets are scary, hateful creatures, and I don't blame him one bit. In fact, I think this is the only really appropriate reaction to watching those demonic wooden dolls work their evil magic.
