If you want to see what Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar might have looked like if they played in the 1950s/60s, Paladar Negro photoshopped some Barcelona & Real Madrid players onto old timey trading cards.

They previously did a similar project with Argentinian players...this one of Angel Di Maria is amazing:

WASHINGTON—Declaring that this is the last time they ever hope to speak of the aggravatingly enigmatic substance, astronomers from NASA announced Thursday that they are just going to go ahead and say that dark matter is nitrogen. “Look, nitrogen is a pretty stable element that’s fairly inert, so we’re ready to just come out and say that’s probably what makes up about 85 percent of the matter in our universe and finally move on,” said Dr. Louis Marshall at a morning press conference, adding that, after spending millions of dollars and countless hours over the past eight decades trying to solve its mysteries, scientists are “completely fucking finished” with the astronomical phenomenon. “It’s a nice odorless gas that’s plentiful in our atmosphere and our galaxy, and that’s good enough for us. So there, we figured it out. Any questions?” Before walking away from ...

Once again, Japan has managed to out weird itself.

A metal/pop group called Ladybaby released a video for a song called “Nippon Manju” over the weekend, and it ranks right up their with “What Does the Fox Say?” and “Gangnam Style” on the WTF scale.

The trio consists of a lead singer named Ladybeard, who is a popular, cross-dressing professional wrestler from Australia, and two young teenage girls named Rie Kaneko and Rei Kuromiya.

Ladybeard specializes in a musical style he calls “Kawaiicore” and he says he tries “to look as pretty as possible” while doing it.

“Kawaii” means “cute” in Japanese, and he often wears schoolgirl outfits with his hair in pony tails.

Rocket News describes him as “Bizzaro Andrew W.K.” and his Twitter profile pretty much sums up everything about him: “Sing. Dance. DESTROY!!!”

The group formed back in March of this year, but this is their first official music video, and it’s certainly gotten everyone’s attention with nearly half a million views in a few days.

Prior to this, the group has been posting some other strange videos to their YouTube channel a few of which you can watch below.

Wacky ol’ rubber bag of infected pus and Maine Gov. Paul LePage is one comical fella. Last week, we told you how he thought he had “pocket vetoed” 19 bills by doing nothing about them, but had actually screwed the procedural pooch because the Maine Legislature had not actually adjourned, and so the bills became law. The fun continues, because as of Sunday, Democratic lawmakers say that an additional 51 bills have become law because LePage refused to do anything about them on time. Among the bills was an expansion of Medicaid funding for reproductive health that will benefit some 13,000 women in the Pine Tree State. But not so fast, says LePage — he’s gonna take the whole thing to the state supreme court, and he’ll win, because Democrats are dumm and he is smrt.

This 2.5 minute video just might change your life.

Writer/director Jason Headley has put together a brutally honest guided mediation “for the realities of today’s world.”

It’s pretty much all you need in the morning when you wake up to get you ready for the day and before you go to bed at night.

“If your thoughts drift to the three-ringed sh*t show of your life, bring your attention back to your breathing,” the voice says. “And with each breath, feel your body saying: ‘F*ck that.'”

So sit back, relax and let out all of that pent up aggression while the waves splash along the shore.

Pedro Strop didn’t have the best performance out of the Cubs’ pen tonight, giving up a homer and then putting two more guys on base. But it apparently infuriated MLB Network’s Bob Costas, who hammered Strop with a burn so raw we can’t even endorse it:

Typically you want a typeface that’s easy to read. This one, however, is intentionally more difficult.

A designer named Daniel Britton has created a new font to help raise awareness about the struggle dyslexic people face every day.

The font uses Helvetica as its base but removes 40 percent of each letter, reports FastCompany, including many of the characteristics which make them unique and easily identifiable.

When someone without dyslexia tries to read text written in the font, their processing time slows down significantly.

Britton explains on his website:

For most people the letters and numbers do not jump around on the page and the colours remain the same, it is simply a break down in communication between they eye and the brain, for most people you can see the information, you can see perfectly each and every letter form but there is something in your mind that is stopping or slowing the process of information and for most this is Dyslexia.

He was 18-years-old when he was diagnosed with the disorder, and he designed the font when he was a senior at the London School of Communications.

He’s also set up a crowdfuding campaign to raise money to create a Dyslexia awareness pack for children in elementary schools.

Earlier this year a man named Christian Boer released a font to help people with dyslexia called “Dyslexie.”

Here’s a poster Britton created using the Dyslexia font. Can you read the message?

Translation:

This typography is not designed to recreate what it would be like to read if you were dyslexic, it is designed to simulate the feeling of reading with dyslexia by slowing the reading time of the viewer down to a speed of which someone who has dyslexia would read. Dyslexia.

In the course of an intraoffice chat about some social-media stuff you wouldn’t care about, we shared a bunch of our favorite sports GIFs. Turns out there are a lot of very good sports GIFs. But I think the GIF of an unconscious Nuggets mascot being lowered to the court might be my favorite.

We could all use more “Florida Man” with his crazy antics in our lives, and fortunately we have two of them running for president.

Marco Rubio has officially declared his candidacy, and Jeb Bush is expected to officially throw his hat in the ring soon, even though he sort of already let it slip a few weeks ago.

And so the Independent Journal Review took the next logical step and developed a new Chrome extension which replaces any instance of their names with “Florida Man.”

For example:

More importantly, it will also randomly swap all references to “Florida Man” with one of the two candidates, creating some amazing headlines like this one:

No that didn’t actually happen to Rubio. but it certainly makes reading about the already crowded Republican race much more entertaining.

Once you download and enable the program, head on over to Florida Man’s Twitter account for endless fun.

Well done, IJR, well done.

Now is a great time to read Peter Kaplan’s old profile of Letterman, which was published in Esquire just a few months before he debuted as the host of Late Night.

A guy in Paris took a picture of himself near the Eiffel Tower in an attempt to make it appear as though he was touching the top with his hand.

He was way off, so he decided to upload the image to 4chan with a request asking if anyone could Photoshop the landmark under his finger.

And as was the case with the guy who wanted to photoshop the sun between his fingers, things got real weird real fast.

The original 4chan thread seems to have been removed, but results were re-posted on a number of different sites, in particular Imgur and the Facebook comments section for a company called Mott.

Here are some of the end products.

If you aren’t a moron idiot, you probably enjoyed the first Avengers movie from 2012, because it was great. The sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron, came out this past weekend, and it’s pretty good , but also, in parts, incredibly fucking stupid. Here are many of the ways that it sucks.

I should have known better. I should have known that the fight would suck. I have lived long enough to know that the whole point of spending $100 on a pay-per-view boxing match is so you can complain about spending $100 on a pay-per-view boxing match. There were people back in the day who used to bitch about Mike Tyson knocking out people too quickly, which seems like a groundless complaint now after watching Mayweather bore the world to death. Mike Tyson either knocked you out, or got knocked out trying. Floyd Mayweather is his diametric opposite.
