Cameron Diaz Bikini Pictures of the Day

I don’t know who owns these bikini pictures, but I know the paparazzi, especially the paparazzi I don’t work with, are scummy bottom feeding pieces of shit.I have had years of fights with, so I can only assume they’re going to send lawyers letters by the end of the day to take these down cuz I don’t have the right to post them or some bullshit, even though I don’t think they should have the right to take them, because they monetize on breaking laws like criminals by climbing into trees, jumping fences, invading privacy and killing Princess Diana before dating Britney Spears to get the pics.

Astonishing bond between diver and Scar the giant sperm whale

Peering solemnly nose-to-nose at each other, this is the Whale Whisperer and his friend - Scar the 10-year-old giant of the sea. These spectacular images show Andrew Armour bonding with the colossal sperm whale in the warm Caribbean waters off the island of Dominica. Taken on the weekend, the photographs offer stunning insight into the lives of other pod members travelling with Scar. In one picture a large group of 'socialising' whales come together - giving the impression they are meeting up for a chat. And in another they arrive in a perfectly formed procession - almost like they are part of an underwater military march. The jaw-dropping series of images show how a decade spent befriending the gentle giant allows Andrew, 45, to stroke and gracefully swim alongside the 32-foot mammal.

Kelly Brook Is All Woman

tting this gallery together should have taken me around 20 minutes, in truth it’s taken me double that as I got sidetracked ‘looking’ at too of the photos. Kelly Brook is all women, there’s no doubting that. Just feast your eyes on her glorious cleavage, that’s if you can take your eyes of her hot ass or those luscious lips. Gentlemen, prepare to waste at least the next 10 minutes of your day as you browse 100 of Kelly’s sexiest pics.

Tough Guy Challenge 2010

The 24th annual Tough Guy Challenge took place last weekend, on Sunday, January 31st, on South Perton Farm, near Wolverhampton, England. Despite being billed as "the safest most dangerous taste of physical and mental endurance pain in the world", this year's race still attracted over 5,000 men and women - all of them signing a disclaimer saying "It's my own bloody fault for being here". About 600 racers did not complete the course this year - the winner being Paul Jones of Oswestry, England, completing the course in one hour 18 minutes. The Challenge is annual event to raise cash for charity with funds going to the Mr. Mouse Farm for Unfortunates. Special thanks today to photographer Mike King, who was kind enough to share 16 of his great photographs of the 2010 Tough Guy Challenge below.

Travis Pastrana Wins 2010 Sno*Drift Rally, Hearts of Northern Michigan

Travis Pastrana won Rally America's season-opening Sno*Drift Rally this weekend. It was single-digit cold, the roads were covered in a thick sheet of ice, and Ken Block's brand-new Ford Fiesta broke. Sound like fun? Of course it does. I met Travis Pastrana once. It was a sunny summer afternoon in Maine, the kind of hot, muggy day that makes you both love and hate New England. He was limping around the Subaru service area at the New England Forest Rally, one leg dragging behind the other and a thick grin on his face. I had to interview him for a magazine story I was writing on Ken Block, and as a result, we spent about fifteen minutes crouched underneath an EZ-UP and talking about rallying.

GM’s Space Robot Can Beat Up Your Space Robot

mewhere between filing for bankruptcy, putting a revolving door on the CEO’s office and keeping the Chevrolet Volt hype machine going, General Motors found time to build a robot. The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers helmet is ridiculous, but this thing looks like it could kick Asimo’s ass. GM’s engineers joined NASA’s eggheads under a Space Act agreement to develop a ‘bot capable of working alongside humans in factories and in space. That’s what they say, anyway. We suspect GM wanted to one-up Honda’s robotics program with a machine capable of curling 20-pound barbells.

1959 Cadillac Cyclone XP-74 Concept

he Cyclone looked more like a jet aircraft than a car, its two fenders resembling rockets. The two flat door segments could be slid back. The revolutionary design was matched by the radar-sensing crash avoidance system and the Plexiglass bubble-top that automatically closed when its sensor detected rain. Built on a 104' chassis, the Cyclone is 197' long and stands only 44' tall; the body is made of steel (not fiberglass, like some experimental models); power is provided by the standard 325 HP engine fitted with a low-profile carburetor, a cross-flow aluminum radiator and two fans. The initial white pearlescent paint was replaced later with silver; at the same time, the GM Air Transport logo disappeared from the tall fins, to be replaced by an oblong, vertical Cyclone name badge placed at the extremity of each rear fender. The seats are silver leather.

Slicing Brains DIY - Is Ken Hayworth Building the Instruments for Uploading Brains?

n order to understand the brain’s function, neuroscientists must be able to map out its basic neuronal circuits. A neuronal circuit (for example, a thalamocortical circuit) typically spans quite a large volume of brain tissue (tens of cubic millimeters). At the same time, the axonal and dendritic processes comprising such a circuit are so fine and so tortuously interconnected that only electron microscopy of ultrathin (50nm) serial sections can resolve their connectivity. No current techniques can image so large a volume of tissue at such fine resolution. While working as a computer scientist and engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Ken Hayworth says that he was inspired by a paper he read by Xerox PARC’s Ralph Merkle on “Large Scale Analysis of Neural Structures.”
