Flag-carrying drone ignites brawl at European soccer match

LOL Soccer fights are even more hilarious than baseball or basketball fights! Worth the click through for the video.

A Euro 2016 qualifying game between Serbia and Albania was suspended yesterday, after a drone flew over the pitch carrying a flag with a pro-Albanian message. The match was being played at the Partizan Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia, ahead of UEFA's...

Controlling your Android phone with one button isn't as great as it sounds

by Kris Naudus
Philip.paulsson

I have this (didn't back it, but bought it after), and it's not bad. At first I couldn't use the "long-press" option, so I was kinda limited in the programming, but I've found that it's only really useful for smaller things anyway. Flashlight definitely comes in handy. My biggest gripe is that the picture taking is MAJORLY slow unless you unlock your phone first, and then what's the point?

The Pressy one-button Android controller found an eager audience when it debuted on Kickstarter in August 2013, overshooting its original funding goal of $40,000 to the tune of almost $700,000. Inserting the Pressy into an Android phone adds an extra...

American Voices: Flight Attendants Sue FAA To Reinstate Cell Phone Ban

UGH. What, do they just want to continue to be able to harass us before take-off and landing?!

The nation’s largest flight attendant union is suing the FAA to reinstate bans on cell phone use during takeoff and landing, arguing that smartphones distract passengers and inhibit the delivery of safety instructions.

7 Cocktails You Can Make With Surge Now That You're An Adult

All your favorite drinks have been missing an essential, neon-green ingredient: SURGE.

Photo by Lauren Zaser / Design by Rachel Sanders / BuzzFeed Life

Surge has returned to us.

Earlier this fall, in response to impassioned pleas from their consumer base, Coca-Cola resurrected the beloved caffeinated citrus soda from its bubbly grave. The drink is now for sale exclusively on Amazon, where a bulk order of 48 tallboy cans will run you around $100 (as of press time). And boy, do people have feelings about it!

Lauren Zaser / BuzzFeed Life

While Surge's phosphorescent green glow may remain undimmed, the young men and women who kept the flame of hope alive have changed in the decade-plus since it went off the market: We can now legally consume alcohol.

So what better way to celebrate the Return of Surge than with seven classic boozy beverages, now much improved by the fresh lemon-lime flavor of '90s nostalgia? (That was a rhetorical question, there is no better way.) Order yourself a few cases of soda and get mixing with these recipes.

More Books With the Mystical Properties of 50 Shades of Grey

Skip
A few months back my wife read all the books in the 50 Shades of Grey series and, while she did, let's just say the getting was good. What other books could I buy her to stimulate a similar response?


Normally my wife has very little interest in sex. I always initiate, usually get told no, but once every 2 weeks or so she relents and we have sexy fun times.

However a few months back she pretty much devoured the 50 Shades of Grey series within the space of about a month, and while she was reading them she was a completely different woman. She initiated sex with me almost every night, getting me to do things to her that she would normally never want me to do. It was, to say the least, awesome.

After she finished the books, things petered out again and we're back to our usual routine. *sigh*

I've decided I'm willing to spend any amount of money to buy her more books that are likely to make her the horny little minx she was while reading 50 Shades.

So; recommendations, please? Thanks in advance!

Madrid Is Set To Kill The Pet Dog Whose Owner Was Infected By Ebola

Philip.paulsson

Awwww she looks like Moxie (but fatter)

Despite the family’s pleas and a petition to save Excalibur, the health ministry said it would euthanize the pet dog.

Madrid's regional government is set to euthanize the pet dog of the Spanish nurse infected with Ebola, against the family's wishes.

Madrid's regional government is set to euthanize the pet dog of the Spanish nurse infected with Ebola, against the family's wishes.

The government got a court order on Tuesday to euthanize and incinerate the mixed breed dog called Excalibur, who belongs to Teresa Romero, the nursing assistant who became infected with Ebola in Spain.

Romero is the first Ebola patient to have contracted the disease outside of West Africa in the recent outbreak.

Facebook: ProtectoraVillaPepa

Romero's husband, Javier Limon Romero — who has now been quarantined — posted this message on the Facebook page of an animal protection organization, asking for his dog not to be sacrificed.

Facebook: ProtectoraVillaPepa

The translation of the post (via EL PAÍS):

Hello, my name is Javier Limon Romero. I am the husband of Teresa Romero Ramos, the nursing assistant infected with ebola for voluntarily treating the two infected patients who were repatriated to Spain.

I want to publicly condemn that a certain Zarco, who I think is the health chief for the Madrid region, has told me that they have to put down my dog, just like that, without further ado. He has asked for my consent, which I have categorically denied.

He says that they will therefore request a judicial order to break into my house and destroy him.Before going to the hospital I left him several buckets of water, the bath tub also full of water, and a 15kg bag of feed, so he had food and water. I also left the terrace open so he could do his business.

It seems unfair to me that because of their mistake, they want to solve this the quick way.

A dog will not pass anything on to another person, and the same goes the other way around.

If this problem worries them so much, I think other alternative solutions can be found, such as, for example, putting the dog in quarantine and observation, as they have done with me. Or maybe they will have to put me down, just in case.

But, of course, a dog is easier, it doesn't matter as much."

The government said Excalibur would be euthanized in a way to avoid suffering and his body would be incinerated.

The government said Excalibur would be euthanized in a way to avoid suffering and his body would be incinerated.

Spanish health authorities said that available scientific knowledge suggested a risk that mixed-breed dogs could transmit the Ebola virus to humans, the Associated Press reported.

CDC Director Tom Frieden said there was one article in medical literature that discussed the presence of antibodies to Ebola in dogs, adding there was no way to know if the test was accurate or relevant. "We have not identified this as a means of transmission," he said at a news conference Tuesday.

Yes, he finally did the signature dance that made his Fresh Prince character famous and his pro partner Witney Carson joined in.

"I was pigeonholed as an actor based on that character," Ribeiro said of Calrton Banks in his intro package before the dance. The actor said he "fell out of love" with his breakthrough character as a result, but is now back in love with Carlton and his accompanying dance. "I love how it makes people feel. I love the fact that people have this nostalgic look at that dance," he said. "My No. 1 goal this week is to please the fans and to give America what I feel they've been asking for since the beginning of this show: The Carlton."

Of course, this was all made better by the fact that their jazz number was set to Carlton's favorite song: "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones.

This Six-Foot Spider's Web Covering A Guy's Driveway Is All Kinds Of Wrong

Never leaving the house again.

This is what faced 74-year-old Russell Harding when he stepped outside his front door last Thursday.

This is what faced 74-year-old Russell Harding when he stepped outside his front door last Thursday.

Russell Harding / SWNS

According to the SWNS news agency, a spider an inch-and-a-half in size had somehow managed to spin a six-foot web stretching from the wing mirror on Harding's car to his shed.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

I don't understand how the spider did it, it was incredible. I'm just mystified.

My wife would have actually passed out if she had walked into the web. There would have been a lot of screaming.

Fortunately it had been a very dewy morning which highlighted the web so I saw it before I walked into it.

Harding said he had to detach the web from his car to allow his family to leave the house.
