We Are All the Taiwanese Kid Who Punched a Hole in a $1.5 Million Painting. A 12-year-old boy in Taiwan has punched a hole in a $1.5 million painting, which on the surface level is one of the greatest flexes of all time.

Fuck art, right? Fuck art! Art is shit! Banksy and his Dismaland might be getting all the attention at the minute, but let us instead elevate this little Taiwanese lord to the High Ruler of the Art World. Because look at him: dawdling through an art gallery, Puma T-shirt and shorts, not a care in the world, can of Fanta or similar in his hand, and then flooomp: attempts to lean his shoulder against a wall but instead trips over one of them little rope things and straight up punches a 350-year-old masterpiece in the bollocks. There's no getting up from that, especially when you are an ancient painting, unused to the peculiar human stress of being accidentally punched.

August 20, 2015 This is Shrek, the appropriately-named renegade sheep that escaped and avoided shearing for SIX long years. modern farmer Shrek really, really, really did not like getting his hair cut. So for six years, this New Zealand libertarian managed to avoid spring shearings by hiding in a cave.

So if a sheep does not get sheared, will the wool keep growing and growing? Yes, but only if it is a domesticated sheep. Perhaps Shrek realized he needed help (heat stress, mobility issues, vision impairment) and wanted to be found. Credit: modern farmer. Share377K Tweet5.9K. Are you SERIOUSLY 'Ready for Hillary'?!

What Does It Feel Like to Kill Someone? It's generally thought that Western society is about as removed from death and dying as it's ever been, despite all the glorification of violence in the media. But what is it really like to take another person's life? What are the intricacies of killing that Hollywood doesn't quite capture?

Oymyakon, Russia takes the ice cube for coldest inhabited location on earth. Somehow the people that call this small, rural town home are able to survive throughout some truly brutal winters. The subarctic climate found in this region is extreme, as of right now in November temperatures hoover around -38F.

T-Mobile Will Now Punish Customers Who Abuse Unlimited Data. T-Mobile is today issuing a warning to customers: stop taking unlimited data to ridiculous extremes. In a post on T-Mobile’s blog, CEO John Legere has publicly called out “a fraction of a percent” of users who’ve been sucking down hundreds or even thousands of gigabytes of data each month. But these customers aren’t using all of that data on their smartphones alone; instead, T-Mobile claims they’ve come up with ways to conceal mobile tethering and hotspot usage. Tethering allows customers to get other devices (PCs, tablets, etc.) online using their smartphone data plan. With its $80 unlimited data plan, T-Mobile already offers a generous 7GB limit for tethering purposes.

Once customers exceed that, their hotspot speeds are slowed down considerably. But there are many apps — particularly on Android — that promise to hide tethering activity from wireless carriers, making it hard to distinguish what data is actually being used for. The full details can be found in a FAQ here. Lies You've Believed: Shampoo & Conditioner.
