Most of us have had one of those lucky moments where we escaped injury, or certain death, by a split second, but how many of us have had that moment captured on video?

The lucky fellow in this video may not have known his escape from death’s clutches was being recorded by a security camera, but I bet he’s happy to have the footage as proof of how close he came to being flattened by that big ol’ truck!

Those are the saddest looking buttcheeks I’ve ever seen. Like if Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh was reincarnated as a buttocks, this would be him.

You knew it whenever Jerry would grimace and take on a gravelly tone as he uttered their names. They made Kramer twitch more than usual in repulsion, and George's pitch and decibel level raised with his anxiety. They were the Seinfeld "villains." Each threatened Jerry and his pals in different ways, each formidable. This article ranks their picks as to the top Seinfeld enemies. Do you agree? Speak up in the comments. But for now, be very afraid of one of my favorites: Philip Baker Hall as Lt. Joe Bookman, L.C. (Library Cop).

When we who live in the United States make U.S. travel plans to visit places we've never been, we inevitably make them based in part on our preconceived notions. Whether they are drawn from media, word of mouth or other sources, our many impressions guide us.

Yet people from other countries generally don't have as many preconceived opinions from state-to-state as U.S. citizens, because naturally, they are more lacking in information via word-of-mouth testimonials and geography-based cultural stereotypes. Such a lack of information can be liberating. One who travels with an open mind is the one who most benefits.

In that vein, take a look at these 27 places in the United States that foreign travelers favor. Some of them might not be places that immediately come to our minds as travel destinations, but they are filled with gorgeous natural attractions that everyone can enjoy, no matter their nationality or life experience.

Well, just how broke are you? Sometimes it helps to put things in perspective if you want to see the big picture. Yeah, I know, the fact that other people have it worse -and there’s always someone who has it worse- doesn’t mean you don’t have a money problem. But not being able to afford a large frappuccino isn’t a problem, as College Humor points out in this video. -via Tastefully Offensive

When a young man impulsively flips off a rhesus macaque monkey, the monkey doesn't take it lightly. In fact, he jumps the guy, apparently just to let him know that he's fluent in international symbols. -Via Tastefully Offensive

The Chinese Ministry of Culture announced Thursday that the government and police will join forces to stop the popular practice of hiring strippers for funerals to entice more mourners to attend. After pictures circulated online of a funeral in the city of Handan in which a dancer took off her bra with children in the audience, the Ministry of Culture denounced the behavior as obscene and warned that a crackdown would follow. To flex their muscle on the issue, they revealed that after the Handan funeral, the people responsible for hiring the dancers were fined 70,000 yuan (approximately $11,300 USD).

The Chinese believe that one measure of the deceased is the number of people who show up at their funeral. As a result, large, flashy funeral processions that look more like parades with music, bands and dancers (as in the screen shot above) are common. Hiring exotic dancers and strippers for funerals is also popular in Taiwan, which is where the video footage below was shot by National Geographic.

Johannes Stötter has incredible skill as a body painter. He composed and staged this elaborate scene. The two models are covered in paint. They work together perfectly to create the illusion that they are, together, a single chameleon climbing over a tree branch.

Content warning: slightly NSFW due to artistic nudity at the end, when the two models stand up.
