by Aleksander Chan
As tensions rise in Ukraine in their battle against pro-Russian separatists, a group of Ukrainian astronomers have come up with a way to deliver a cosmic burn: by naming a star "Putin-Huilo!" after Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Huilo" (or as it is sometime seen, "khuilo") is a useful Ukrainian word that roughly translates to "fucker," "asshole," or "dickhead" in English.

"Leaked Star Wars Episode VII Footage" From Germany Is Fake (and Fun)
by Jay Hathaway
DarendukesFake footage, but it is amazing. This is exactly what it would look like if those transport ships and AT-ATs and AT-STs were really flying and stomping around on Earth. Very cool.
Principal photography for Star Wars Episode VII has been underway at London's Pinewood Studios since location shooting in Abu Dhabi wrapped up in May. The next installment of Star Wars is not being filmed at Frankfurt Airport, but that didn't stop this fake, fan-made video from getting more than a million YouTube views.

Nazi Germany's "Perfect Aryan" Baby Was Jewish
by Andy Cush
DarendukesHa! Stupid Nazis...
In the 1930s, the Nazi party began issuing propaganda featuring the image of a "perfect Aryan" child. If you were looking to build a master race of adorable white people, you could do a lot worse: Hessy Taft, the model, had round eyes, a charmingly surprised expression, and a perfectly tousled tuft of dark hair on her head. She was also Jewish.
