This Man Turned A 100-Foot Hedge Into A Dragon
Beware: hedge be dragons.
This is John Brooker from Norfolk with his amazing hedge-dragon.
Damien Mcfadden / Via damienmcfadden.4ormat.com
As you might be able to tell, it's not an actual dragon. It's a hedge that stands in the grounds of Frizzleton Farm, near King's Lynn.
The hedge-dragon has giant wings, fierce teeth and talons, and six sets of legs.

John Brooker is a retired fan-maker. It took him ten years to complete his beast, and he spends hours pruning it to keep it in shape.
Well done, that man.

Mama Bear Reaches Over Concrete Median To Rescue Her Highway Stranded Cub
by Lori Dorn
While passing through Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, a driver for Tornado Hunter named Ricky Forbes captured this amazing footage of a determined mama bear reaching over a concrete median to rescue her highway-stranded cub.
Driving through British Columbia’s Kootenay National Park we stopped to capture a shot of a baby bear on the highway only to get much more of a show. While watching the cub we saw the mama bear stick it’s head over the barrier to save it’s young from its dangerous predicament. It almost looks like she looks both ways first! A very amazing sight to see.

This Is Officially The Best Optical Illusion Of The Year
Mind blown.
The "Dynamic Ebbinghaus" has been named the Neural Correlate Society's best illusion of the year.
It features a black circle, which actually stays the same size, but appears to change when surrounded by a set of circles that grow and shrink over time.
The society notes: “Interestingly, this effect is relatively weak when looking directly at a stationary central circle. But if you look away from the central circle or move your eyes, or if the entire stimulus move across the screen, then the illusory effect is surprisingly strong – at least twice as large as the classic, static Ebbinghaus illusion.”
Some of the other illusions that made the Top 10 were: "A Turn in the Road".
This features three strips of road and asks the viewer to point out which one they think looks different.
The final result is surprising.
The "Pigeon-Neck Illusion" generates apparent reverse motion – similar to the action of a pigeon's neck when it walks.
The "Rotating McThatcher Illusion" demonstrates the fact our unconscious ability to lipread "is influenced by processes considered idiosyncratic to face perception".
The information on the illusion says it combines two well-known effects – the McGurk effect and the Margaret Thatcher effect.

‘Renegades of Bike Culture’, A Brief History of the Counter Cultural Past of Mountain Biking
by Brian Heater
Sarah McCullough, a cultural studies PhD grad from UC Davis, gives some insight into how mountain biking grew out of the 1970s Northern California counter-culture.
Mountain biking, as we know it today, really did start in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. It was begun by a group of people that were more into biking for adventure. What they would do is take pre-World War II Schwinn Cruiser bikes and get a ride on a truck to the top of Mt. Tamalpais and then proceed to rocket down the mountain on dirt trails as fast as they could.
McCullough also touches on the nascent sport’s connection to The Grateful Dead, who played the Tour Del Mar, a combination bike race/folk festival held in Pescadero, California in the late-1960s.

Turbospoke, A Fake Exhaust System for Bicycles
by Brian Heater
Playing off the age-old baseball card in the bicycle spokes trick, Turbospoke is a new bike add-on shaped like a motorcycle exhaust that mimics motor sounds. The system still relies on cards — in this case, three waterproof ones with unique sounds — that clap on the bike’s spokes as you ride. The sound is then amplified by the hollow plastic exhaust tube. You can purchase the Turbospoke now through Vat19.

Stamford, Connecticut inventor and video maker Colin Furze laughs devilishly while showing off his homemade Wolverine claws from X-Men that extend and retract at the touch of a button. Colin also made a handy video tutorial where he demonstrates how to create the death-dealing claws.
These beuatiful 12″ stainless steel claws fire out at the touch of a button and bring me as close as anyone has to feeling like they have adamantium claws. I think these are best on the net so hope you like em.
