We carry them around with us everywhere we go, outnumbering our own cells ten to one. But over the past decade, research has increasingly been hinting that the freeloading, hitchhiking bacteria that cover us might actually be contributing far more than we thought. So much so that they could actually be affecting our behavior.

“Slim by Chocolate!” the headlines blared. A team of German researchers had found that people on a low-carb diet lost weight 10 percent faster if they ate a chocolate bar every day. It made the front page of Bild, Europe’s largest daily newspaper, just beneath their update about the Germanwings crash. From there, it ricocheted around the internet and beyond, making news in more than 20 countries and half a dozen languages. It was discussed on television news shows. It appeared in glossy print, most recently in the June issue of Shape magazine (“Why You Must Eat Chocolate Daily”, page 128). Not only does chocolate accelerate weight loss, the study found, but it leads to healthier cholesterol levels and overall increased well-being. The Bild story quotes the study’s lead author, Johannes Bohannon, Ph.D., research director of the Institute of Diet and Health: “The best part is you can buy chocolate everywhere.”

Hearts were broken last January, when SkyMall, the provider for fun and frivolous consumption, filed for bankruptcy due to not being able to keep up with the constantly changing retail industry. The decline in sales was also blamed on the use of electronic devices on flights. Passengers were paying more attention to their smart phones and e-readers instead of flipping through SkyMall’s glorious catalogue.

You won’t have any problem forgetting some of the more outrageous characters Jason Segel has played over throughout his career once you sit down and watch the first trailer for James Ponsoldt‘s David Foster Wallace biopic, The End of the Tour. Segel’s performance as the brilliant but severely depressed writer is already getting praise from circles that saw the film at Sundance Film Festival this past winter.
Unlike many traditional biopics, Ponsoldt does not feel the need to tell the whole story of David Foster Wallace’s life. The End of the Tour instead focuses on the final five days of Wallace’s book tour for Infinite Jest, the last of his novels that would be published before his suicide in 2008. Journalist David Lipsky, played by Jesse Eisenberg, followed Wallace on these last few tour stops, and the brutal distance between the writer struggling with his own fame and success and the journalist obsessed with that fame is very apparent in this trailer.
Segel is being heralded for his subtle and quiet portrayal of a writer who openly struggled with his disillusion and depression while writing some of the most thought-provoking and moving literature of his time. Anna Chlumsky, Joan Cusack and Ron Livingston also co-star alongside Eisenberg to round out the cast. From college classrooms to NPR’s recording studio, David Foster Wallace left an indelible mark on the literary community, and this moviegoer hopes that Segel is up to the job of bringing him to life.
The End of the Tour opens in theaters on July 31st, 2015.
White women in your 20s, rejoice! Bill Nye reveals how you can realize your potential using the awe-inspiring powers of the universe in this funny video by Comedy Central below.
Starring Amy Schumer, with a cameo from Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, Nye explains that “sometimes the universe creates a coincidence just so a publicist at Aeropostale will have a realization” before being overwhelmed by the sheer awfulness of it all.
We love the terrifying placement of this awesome Xenomorph sculpture at an H.R. Giger exhibition in San Sebastian, Spain back in 2009. We hope the woman in this photograph really enjoyed the show, because she might not have made it out of the museum in one piece.

Yesterday, Dying Light added a bow to the arsenal of weapons players can use to kill the undead. You might be wondering: “How does a months-old game justify dropping in a random new gizmo for killing, all of a sudden?” By making it really, really hard for players to get their hands on it.
