Yes, yes, yes! This is exactly the sort of building that every city needs to convey its splendor. A cobra tower could house a hospital, a school, charitable non-profits, or, you know Cobra.

Vasily Klyukin is a Russian architect who designs unconventional buildings, such as a hospital that looks like a ship. He now proposes building an Asian Cobra Tower because . . . well, it's awesome, that's why.

The father of six at That Dad Blog is ready for St. Patricks Day with a real-ilife leprechaun! See, the baby became a magical leprechaun with the help of some Photoshop. That was necessary, since the baby isn’t old enough to stand on his own.

Photoshop is a powerful tool, and learning to use the software can make you feel mighty powerful when you start doing stuff like seamlessly swapping heads or cutting and pasting people in and out of pics with impunity.

Because of this feeling of power many Photoshoppers wind up using their skills for evil, trolling and sometimes even ruining lives by manipulating images for the Dark Side.

But 18th Level Photoshop Wizard James Fridman is different- he's using his trolling powers for good...and because people keep asking him to mess with their pics.

James' Photoshop skills are in such high demand that people keep sending him pics to digitally alter despite the fact that his trollish sense of humor often leaves the subjects looking a little silly.

When you look through the list of great prisoner characters in movies at TVOM, you might be surprised by how many movies you’ve enjoyed that involve convicts, prisoners-of-war, or otherwise involuntarily institutionalized men. And they’re all men, because women-in-prison movies are rare and mostly exploitive. Some of the characters are horrible, some heroic, and some are just plain unlucky, but they were all fascinating.

There was a training game between the Pirates and the Braves Saturday in Florida. A bat was slung up into the crowd. It headed straight for the face of a boy who was looking at his phone. You can see above how close it came to taking him out, except the man beside him, maybe his father, instinctively stuck his arm out to shield the child instead of taking a self-defense stance like everyone else.

These pictures were shot by Pittsburgh Tribune-Review photographer Christopher Horner. You have to imagine the size of the bruise on that guy’s arm. Remember, kids, when you’re at a baseball game, watch the game, not your phone. -via Uproxx

‘Sea-nomad’ Moken children can see underwater https://t.co/UwQqVPdfGchttps://t.co/tZ4C9vVY9P via @BBC_Futurepic.twitter.com/LBReVUVAvq

The Moken people of western Thailand are sometimes called the Sea Nomads because they live almost their entire lives in the shallow waters of the Andaman Sea. From a very young age, they can swim as well as walk and hunt and fish in the water for their food.

They see remarkably well underwater. How? In 1999, Anna Gislén of the University of Lund in Sweden decided to find out.

BBC Future explains the problem. When we put our eyes underwater, our vision necessarily gets blurry:

Light is refracted when it enters the human eye because the outer cornea contains water, which makes it slightly denser than the air outside the eye. An internal lens refracts the light even further.

When the eye is immersed in water, which has about the same density as the cornea, we lose the refractive power of the cornea, which is why the image becomes severely blurred.

But the Moken children are taught to narrow their pupils to compensate for this change:

“Normally when you go underwater, everything is so blurry that the eye doesn’t even try to accommodate, it’s not a normal reflex,” says Gislen. “But the Moken children are able to do both – they can make their pupils smaller and change their lens shape. Seals and dolphins have a similar adaptation.”

It's an impressive adaptation. But it isn't permanent. Gislén found that the Moken lost this ability as they reached adulthood.

Who you gonna call?

According to IMDb, Sylvester Stallone has 72 acting credits! Seven are TV, but that still leaves a bunch of movies that you haven’t seen. Oh yeah, you’re familiar with Rocky and Rambo and their sequels, but how about a look at some Stallone movies from earlier in his career? Maybe Victory, from 1981.

As allied POWs prepare for a soccer game against the German National Team to be played in Nazi-occupied Paris, the French Resistance and British officers are making plans for the team’s escape. This is the second movie on this list that took place after Rocky.  Stallone plays the goalie for the POW team and definitely has that “tough guy” gritty American feel.  With Michael Caine as the star of the movie and even soccer legend Pelé being one of the characters, it’s a must watch.

The movies on this list weren’t duds, they are from the ’70s and ‘80s, which is the only reason you haven’t seen them. Read about the others at TVOM.

The People's Daily Online reports that a garage owner in Qingdao, Shandong, China got tired of people illegally parking their cars in front of their garage. So he got a forklift, picked up two cars, then placed them on the roof of the garage. The Daily Mail reports:

According to reports, the owners of the two cars in question were unable to get their vehicles off the roof. This is because both the police and the garage's owner said they were not able to get involved as it was a 'private matter'.

In order to get their vehicles back, the cars' owners reportedly had to hire a forklift themselves to bring their vehicles down.

When it comes to TV shows, nothing is safe from being parodied into a porn flick. But, we all know that the best part is the acting. That's why SFW trailers like this are so essential for their success. Have mercy!

Josh Hamilton was making a purchase at a gas station on Owensboro, Kentucky, last weekend when his pants burst into flames! He ran outside and dropped his pants, and a store employee put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. The fire is attributed to a spare lithium battery he had in his pocket, which probably reacted with keys or coins. Never carry loose batteries without a cover. Hamilton was taken to a hospital with second-degree burns. -via reddit

Every year, people across the world throw out 1.3 billion metric tons of food. Safe, well-grown food is simply wasted. People in Denmark responded to this problem by setting up WeFood, a new non-profit grocery store that uses only food that has been thrown out by other grocery stores for having damaged packaging or being past its expiration date. As a result, food at WeFood is about 50% cheaper than at most stores.

The project has been part of a generally successful effort to reduce food waste in Denmark and other European nations. Amy X. Wang writes for Quartz:

Denmark as a whole has been doing a good job of cleaning up its act. The country throws away 25% less food than it did five years ago and many of its supermarkets sell food that is near its expiration date at reduced prices. Elsewhere in Europe, France has banned supermarkets from throwing away unsold food and is asking restaurants to provide take-out containers.
