About Time, A Real Hoverboard and This Asshole Made It!
Artist Nils Guadagnin's latest creation is bound to please many fans of the Back To The Future trilogy: He's created a replica of Marty McFly's iconic hoverboard that can actually hover--as long as nobody stands on it, that is.
The geeky achievement is made possible thanks to electromagnets and lasers.
Guadagnin detailed that his project, which started back in 2008, works due to the board's integrated magic: It includes an impressive laser system which ensures the stabilization of the hoverboard in addition to an electromagnetic system which makes the levitation possible.
The video below shows his board hovering. Be sure to watch out for when Nils gives the board a push, the stabilization process is speedy and impressive:
Not to be mistaken for the Back to the Future Hoverboard, Nils was clearly inspired by the 1980's trilogy.

Some Reasons Why I Love Drinking Coke
When somebody drinks a Coke watch what happens…
Two women were arrested in Milwaukee this week after a man told police they had bound and stabbed him hundreds of times in a sexual encounter that "got quickly out of hand."
The 18-year-old man told police he had met one of the women on the Internet and had traveled to Milwaukee from Phoenix, Ariz., to see her. She and her roommate then held him in an apartment for two days and cut him more than 300 times, he said, according to a search warrant affidavit signed by Milwaukee County police detective Michael Walisiciwicz.
The two women, Rebecca Chandler and Raven Larrabee, were being held in Milwaukee County Jail on $150,000 bail, Milwaukee's 12 News station reported. Charges are expected to be filed in the next few days, 12 News said.
When police arrived at the apartment, Chandler, 22, approached them and said, "I think you are here looking for me," according to the affidavit, which was published by thesmokinggun.com.
Chandler said she and the man were having sexual relations which involved cutting and that the act was consensual but got out of hand.
Chandler told police that her roommate, whom she called "Scarlett," did most of the cutting and that she was possibly "involved in satanic or occult activities," the affidavit said. The roommate was identified as Larrabee, 20.
The man suffered wounds to his back, face, arms, legs and neck and was taken to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa.
In a search of Chandler and Larrabee's apartment, police found knives, duct tape, bloody rope and "books or literature relating to Satanism or the occult," including a copy of a necromantic ritual book titled "Werewolf's Guide to Life," the affidavit said.

I don't know whats more funny, what she's wearing or the little toys on the table.
You can't go wrong with a nice hot cup of blood in the morning with one of these vintage coffee mugs. Not sure what brand sell these...but nowadays you can make pretty much anything from home...via Staples or Kinkos. Years ago my cousin made some X-File mugs for his obsession with the 1990's Sci-fi thriller television show.

"This is a brass and copper hinge-mechanism I made so it'll consistently pierce through the jump-ring with a hollow tube so it can transfer a piece of jewelry. So pretty much, it's an automatic piercer.
I thought about inventing this when I decided my hands were too shaky to be a piercer after practicing on a few friends.
I'm also fairly sure I had watched a bit of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory before designing all the shiny brass..."
This is a piercing glove that Matthew Mauk made. This is on some Freddy Kruger shit. Pretty amazing, check out below Matt explaining how and why he made it.

It’s probably not far fetched to describe our popular consciousness as, at least in part, Freudian. The “Freudian slip” is vernacular. A cigar, we all agree, is not always a cigar. Sigmund Freud’s influence on our worldview is incredible. Little of what the father of psychoanalysis argued is, however, scientifically supportable. Instead, most of Freud’s arguments are actually intuitive. Even though his arguments are more colorful than substantive, we understand what he meant, what he was trying to get at.
There is no proof of any primal scene, but such a concept helps us understand something about how the human mind deals with deep seeded trauma. Boys do not want to kill their dads so they can fuck their moms, but, again, an otherwise repressed tension is revealed. Like all pioneers, Freud was making much up as he was going. In many ways these ideas probably tell us more about Freud’s own mind than anything else. An updated character analysis of Freud is probably long past due. Embarking on such a venture, however, we quickly encounter some unexpected characteristics.
Most of his big picture metaphors – the aforementioned primal scene, the death drive, etc. – betray a very dark view of humanity as repressing bloodthirsty violent urges. For Freud we are all desperately holding ourselves back from exploding with unfettered animal barbaric rage. It is vintage Freud to, for example, posit paranoia as a harbinger of repressed homosexual urges. Even though to say so can only promote paranioa in the patient. There are again and again such extreme and unmistakable cruel paradoxes and catch 22s in his assessment of his subjects. Freud is very much in the vein of the mad projector in which the sufferer is embroiled in an endless furious denial of their own “bad” aspects, imputing them – much exaggerated and distorted – onto his subjects. It is a very destructive personality type one is confronted with, and there is very little to stop such a psychology from physically acting out their vicious fantasies.

The number of people who have died in Ecuador after drinking adulterated liquor has risen to 33.
Twenty people died two weeks ago in Los Rios province, where barrels of bootleg alcohol containing methanol were found.
Officials subsequently banned the sale and consumption of alcohol nationwide for three days to allow police to check for and confiscate other supplies.But the Ecuadorean health authorities now say there have since been another 13 fatal cases across the country.
Officials said 103 people had been treated in Los Rios for symptoms ranging from nausea, abdominal cramps, blurred vision, profuse sweating and loss of consciousness.
Drinking Bootleg Liquor in Ecuador on the Rise. WTF?

Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champion whose furious and intensely personal fights with a taunting Muhammad Aliendure as an epic rivalry in boxing history, died Monday night. He was 67.
His business representative, Leslie Wolff, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Frazier had liver cancer and that he had entered hospice care.
Known as Smokin’ Joe, Frazier stalked his opponents around the ring with a crouching, relentless attack — his head low and bobbing, his broad, powerful shoulders hunched — as he bore down on them with an onslaught of withering jabs and crushing body blows, setting them up for his devastating left hook.

Chicago Cubs Curse: The Collapse of 1969 (Black Cat)
The 1969 Cubs was a team consisting of Cubs legends like Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Fergie Jenkins, and Billy Williams. It was considered to be the greatest Cubs team ever assembled.
With a late season lead of 9 1/2 game lead over the Mets, nothing looked like it could stop the Cubs from returning to the World Series.
The curse is said to have reared its ugly head again on September 9th, 1969 when a black cat ran onto the field as the Cubs played a crucial series against the Mets at Shea Stadium. After running circles around Ron Santo in the on-deck circle, the black cat quickly disappeared underneath the stands.
The Chicago Cubs have been tainted with curses over it's long history, for me the Black Cat one is pretty funny and interesting.
