The first thing I thought after watching The Battle of Five Armies was "boy, that's a movie that didn't need to be made". Now, thanks to the power of fans and the internet, we can pretend around half of Peter Jackson's entire Hobbit trilogy never happened.
Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a metal that is so extremely hydrophobic that the water bounces on it as if it were repelled by a magic force field. Instead of using chemical coatings they used lasers to etch a nanostructure on the metal itself. It will not wear off, like current less effective methods.
Gardening tools are kind of dumb, when you think about it. Why have a shed full of different tools, when really all you need is one handle and a bunch of different attachments? That's exactly why REDHED's Garden Tool Master Kit is so brilliant. Every tool you need fits in one handy bag!
You know how it's often cheaper to fly from Chicago to Paris by booking a flight to Dubai, and then just getting off at the stopover, which happens to be Paris? Well, you do now thanks to a lawsuit from United Airlines and booking site Orbitz -- they...

The most inefficient part of a gearing system is also its most vital: the teeth. While they allow the systems to, y'know, work, they also introduce vast quantities of frictional losses and, in turn, mechanical wear—so this new system uses magnetic levitation to do away with them.

But the FUGU luggage doesn't just add a couple of extra inches of capacity. It expands from nine inches tall to 27 inches tall, meaning you could actually pack for a whole extra person should you find yourself suddenly married after a Vegas weekend.
Here's a fascinating visualization created by Muyueh Lee that shows the differences between how the English language and Chinese language each describe colors. On the left, you can see the number of English names for color hues (there's a lot!) and on the right, the number of Chinese names (there's a little!).

Sim, é isso mesmo que você leu. O vietnamita Nguyen Hoang Hung não curte muito a tradição de cortar cabelo apenas com uma tesoura, ele aparentemente acha muito ultrapassado. Apesar de não ter treinamento samurai, ele fez um rigoroso curso de como manejar uma lâmina afiada.
Ele começou usando uma Katana, agora usa um Wakizashi (uma espada curta para lutas em espaços pequenos) e com um fio quase cirúrgico. Imagina que louco ir cortar o cabelo e entrar numa discussão política tipo Aécio x Dilma com ele? Ou era unfriend no facebook ou era ter sua cabeça decepada.
Se os gifs não foram suficientes para ver essa borboletinha linda manejando uma espada mortal enquanto corta um cabelo, fique com o vídeo:

Here are the first-gen starter Pokémon, looking as adorable as ever—but in a physical, huggable form. They come courtesy of Ashley Muldoon, who sells crocheted dolls in her Etsy shop, StarCraftsCo.
