Head over there to waste some time. Just hit refresh to get a new tweet.

Ramen Bot Would Have Been Nice To Have In College

A restaurant in Japan has employed the use of a few robots to help make their ramen. They claim that these bots make the perfect bowl of ramen every single time.

What’s interesting to me is that it seems like enough chefs over in Japan were fucking up ramen that they felt the need to employ a more precise hand. I mean, I have about four years of experience making ramen, and I can say with absolute certainty that it’s really not that hard. To each their own, I suppose.

Happy 25th, Ghostbusters

You can’t deny that Ghostbusters is a seriously awesome film (though I myself am partial to the sequel). To honor this cinematic gem’s 25th birthday, Youtube has partnered with Crackle to bring you the entire film online in 16:9 format.

So the next time you’re bored at work, fear not! Ghostbusters can totally save your sanity.

Watch it here!

How To Survive Zombies: Math!

Finally those bad math grades are coming back to haunt me. Statisticians at the Universites of Ottowa and Carleton University have published an article in the journal Infectious Disease Modelling Research Progress entitled (I kid you not): “When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection.”

Awesome.

Basically the article tells us what we should have already figured out from decades of zombie films: we have to hit hard and fast, or we suffer a zombie apocalypse. DUH.

What’s interesting, though, is that they’ve broken it down into a rather complex mathematic equation.

S = susceptibles (that’s us), Z = zombies and R = removed. According to this, if an infection breaks out in a city of 500,000 people, the zombies will outnumber the susceptibles in about three days.

So the next time you find yourself fighting off a slew of zombies, and another survivor suggests “waiting it out”, break out this bad boy. You’ll wow them with your intelligence, and you’ll probably live.

The Middle Finger Kite: For Grumpy Kite Flyers

Totally pissed off at the sky? Then this is the kite for you:

Hey, it’s cheaper than hiring a skywriter.

Right now this kite is only available in the UK, so us yanks will have to wait it out just a bit longer.
