Left with no other options, Hamit Işık, the manager for the Turkish soccer club Çorum Belediyespor, was forced to watch his team's playoff game from the comfort of a crane after being banned from the stadium.

The Telegraph reports that Işık's 9-month ban was the consequence of a temper tantrum with a referee. Additionally, the entire stadium was shut down for the day due to an unruly crowd at a prior match, forcing the playoff game to go on without spectators. Altogether, the infractions cost the team 33,500 Lira, which converts to about $13,000 USD

Few things go together better than marijuana and coffee.

With the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in multiple areas of the United States, as well as the rise of medical marijuana, the "let's put weed in everything trend" has officially reached bacon-level status

Walking into a pot shop in Washington state, where recreational marijuana is legal, you may see cookies, brownies, sodas, oils and other marijuana-infused or edible products. But just incase you wanted a little buzz with that high, you can also purchase cannabis-infused coffee, which are also available in pods, or K-Cups. Read more...

Later this month, author Chuck Palahniuk will continue the story of his iconic novel turned film Fight Club in comic book form. The series, Fight Club 2, will follow Tyler Durden ten years after the events of the book but it won’t be the character’s only appearance. Palahniuk is bringing back Durden for a short story in his new collection, Make Something Up: Stories You Can’t Unread. Durden appears in a story called Expedition which takes place before the events in Fight Club. Read more about the Fight Club prequel below.

Mashable broke the news of Durden’s return and actually have the entire short story, Expedition, embedded. Durden doesn’t play a large role, but it’s a pivotal one. Click on that link to read the full story or head to Rare Bird Books to find out about an audio version read by Palahniuk himself.

Here’s the full description of Make Something Up: Stories You Can’t Unread, which is out on May 26.

Representing work that spans several years, Make Something Up is a compilation of 21 stories and one novella (some previously published, some not) that will disturb and delight. The absurdity of both life and death are on full display; in “Zombies,” the best and brightest of a high school prep school become tragically addicted to the latest drug craze: electric shocks from cardiac defibrillators. In “Knock, Knock,” a son hopes to tell one last off-color joke to a father in his final moments, while in “Tunnel of Love,” a massage therapist runs the curious practice of providing ‘relief’ to dying clients. And in “Expedition,” fans will be thrilled to find to see a side of Tyler Durden never seen before in a precusor story to Fight Club.

It’s pretty weird that, in the same week, Palahniuk is releasing both a Fight Club prequel and sequel. The sequel is authorized and official and while Expedition isn’t directly related, it is set before the events of Fight Club with Tyler Durden. Who knows where Tyler could pop up next?

A series of brilliant ad campaign called “Don’t Measure Woman’s Worth By Her Clothes” is created for Terre Des Femmes, a Swiss human rights organization focusing on gender equality and feminism to remind us that the worth of a woman should never be measured by something like the neckline of her blouse or height of her heels.

The idea behind of this ads points the fact that for some people, heels of a certain height or skirts of a certain length denote that the wearer must be promiscuous. These “measuring sticks,” however, show just how absurd these measurements seem when removed from their context – regardless of what you think about someone’s clothes, the person wearing them is still a person and should be treated as such.

Using a rod and reel when fishing is all good and well, but this fellow doesn't need either. Using a little bit of bait and his bare hands, this guy manages to lure and catch an impressive-looking fish. Clearly he must speak fish or something

There is a battle brewing between some of the biggest companies in the world as they position themselves to soak up the billions of advertising dollars slated to be spent online in the coming years

On Tuesday, AOL was tossed into the fray.

Verizon announced on Tuesday that it had acquired AOL for $4.4 billion. That might sound like a lot of money, but it's chump change compared to AOL's height in 1999 when the Internet giant was valued at $222 billion and was so core to popular culture that it was the center of a Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks romantic comedy. In 2000, AOL merged with media powerhouse Time Warner for $182 billion. At the time, the combined company dwarfed other media companies and could theoretically touch every single consumer in the U.S. Read more...
