What sorcery is this? This weird 'gravity hill' in South Korea make things look as though they're rolling uphill.
Movie Buzz “Weird Science” was released on this day 26 years ago. To honor John Hughes's greatest achievement in sci-fi girl-creation software movies, we bring you this handy list of things you didn't know about “Weird Science.”
Soylent Green is less disgusting than this. Seriously China? What, what, what are you doing?!

So apparently the sun is a sphere. Thanks science!

What started out as a routine study of group behavior ended up turning a bit surreal. According to the authors of a new paper, they started out trying to find out how long a group would tolerate members that abused the common good. In the process, they found that members who put the most into the common good were quickly expelled from the group.
Science Buzz Steampunks at the Mutoid Waste Company trot Larry, an enormous, fire-breathing robot dog, out onto the streets of Londontown. Made from engine scraps and coffee filters, Larry is, by far, the coolest guard dog we never had.
This dude in Georgia (the country) can pull a minivan with his bizarrely super-strong ears. Those babies can also lift 120 pounds, which is, like, a dozen babies (if you, like moi, use infants as your go-to units of measurement).
At 2.5 pounds and 17 centimeters wide, this Hungarian man's was ::sigh:: surgically removed. Still, if you have a penis, this image might make you faint.

Wired has posted a list of the Top 10 most amazing animal videos submitted by readers. Who knew dolphins played with bubble rings and hedgehogs were so damn cute eating carrots? Know of any that were missing?
A Japanese man slowly electrocutes his face in front of his computer and tapes it for our enjoyment. The accompanying Radiohead-like soundtrack is pretty catchy, but all that twitching makes my face itch.

Thomas Beatie (aka the “pregnant man”) who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year says he's pregnant again with his second child. I guess his first experience with going into labor, which lasted 40 hours, didn't satiate his appetite for childbirth. My question is, wouldn't he develop man boobs if he were really preggers? Where's the milk?
After scientists placed a shrimp on an underwater treadmill to see how far it would run for food, they realized the fit crustacean could jog at speeds of 66 feet per minute and run for three hours before needing a rest. That little guy must be hungry as hell.
Science Buzz Lonely? This dating service will find you a match based on the genetic compatibility of your DNA. In fact, they call themselves the world’s “first global DNA matching service.” Is it too soon to also call them the last?
Creepy and fascinating, the goop takes on a life of its own over a vibrating subwoofer. It’s not alien biological material — just a simple mixture of water and cornstarch and bass.
Science Buzz Jeff Peckman of Denver is lobbying city officials to establish an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in preparation for alien contact. In fact, he’s apparently got exclusive video footage proving their existence, but we can’t see it yet because it’s being used in a forthcoming documentary. Peckman’s video allegedly shows a four-foot tall creature popping up outside a window, blinking. So, congratulations, Jeff Peckman! You’ve started your very own Groundhog Day, but with aliens and for crazy people!
