A Must-Watch Mystery About A Man Trapped In A Probability Experiment
by Lauren Davis
DarendukesOk, I know Eric can't stand watching internet videos or something, but this short film is pretty great. Kinda 'Dark City' like in a way. A good sci-fi short for sure.
Ryan and Amy, yall would enjoy it too.
14 minutes long.
Anyone who likes twisting, turning narratives, science fiction thought experiments, or films that explore the nature of identity absolutely must take 15 minutes out of their day for this short film. A man wakes to find he's a lab rat in a bizarre experiment—and he's not the only one of him there.

by Andy Cush
DarendukesThis is weird. But there's a live feed!
As I write this, there doesn't appear to be anyone inside storage unit #4 at 1397 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn, but it's possible that someone could burst in at any moment.

by Ed Grabianowski
Marvel Dice Masters is like a deckbuilding game with Magic: The Gathering style creature attacks, but using dice. Unfortunately, the parts don't add up to a very compelling game.

Would You Stick Your Dick in This Bionic Handjob Hand, or What?
by Jay Hathaway
Darendukeswut?
The Handie, a made-in-USA, food-grade silicone handjob robot, is seeking funding on Indiegogo. The "all-in one finishing tool for men" does everything: vibrates, simulates penetration, self-lubricates, looks like Thing from the Addams Family with tumors. Everything!

In The Movie Of Heinlein's "All You Zombies," Ethan Hawke Is A TimeCop
by Charlie Jane Anders
The most famous story of time travel and predestination is getting a movie adaptation, starring Ethan Hawke. Robert A. Heinlein's "All You Zombies" features a guy whose very existence is a time paradox — but the movie looks like more of a gritty, noir-influenced thriller.

Watch A Hyena Climb Inside a Buffalo Carcass And Play Peek-a-Boo
by Jason G. Goldman on Animals, shared by Charlie Jane Anders to io9
When hyenas and lions get into a shouting match over a buffalo carcass, it's a loud, raucous scene. One hyena apparently had enough of the shouting so it decided to climb inside of the warm, wet, meaty carcass, where the buffalo's tasty muscles no doubt provided an acoustic barrier.

My son's homework has a barcode that when scanned takes him to an instructional YouTube video posted by his teacher related to the lesson.

by George Dvorsky
DarendukesPretty cool. Just uses optics. However, the cloaked area is more like a donut shape. The very center of the lens cannot be blocked. Watch the video.
By using simple, inexpensive, and readily available materials, researchers at at the University of Rochester have developed an optical system that can actually hide objects in the visible spectrum of light.

Why You Might See Turquoise In Next Week's Lunar Eclipse
by Ria Misra
Darendukes~5:25am October 8th.
Next week's lunar eclipse, visible on October 8th all over the U.S., should be quite a sight to see. But, when you step outside to see the moon turn that distinctive coppery-red shade, astronomers say there's another color you should also be looking for: Turquoise.

Giant, Worm-Slurping Leech Filmed For The First Time
by Robbie Gonzalez on io9, shared by Dayna Evans to Gawker
For the first time, filmmakers in the forests of Borneo's Mount Kinabalu have documented the so-repulsive-it's-captivating behavior of a large, red, worm-guzzling predator. While it remains unclassified by science, the animal is known to the area's tribespeople, fittingly, as the "Giant Red Leech."

Watch the Synthetic Leaf Creator Explain How We Could Colonize Space
by Katharine Trendacosta
DarendukesCool stuff.
Royal College of Art graduate Julian Melchiorri has developed a "man-made biological leaf," made from chloroplasts and a silk product, that produces oxygen the same way a real plant does. As Melchiorri explains in the video, that could be a boon for space exploration.

A Compilation Of The Walking Dead's Greatest, Grossest Zombie Kills
by Rob Bricken
DarendukesThat was great! Someone did a wonderful job on this.
I fully approve of this supercut of The Walking Dead's zombie-slaying, although it may occasionally focus on quantity over quality. I do, however, begrudge its use of the "Can-Can" music when it could have used "Yakety Sax" to infinitely greater effect. Everything is better with "Yakety Sax," people. When will you learn?
