One, two, three, four. Four rainbows!

This quadruple rainbow is making me feel like everything is going to be right in this world. The photo was taken by Long Island native Amanda Curtis on her way to work this morning. I don't want to ruin this breathtaking sight with too many words, so here it is again:

I find great joy thinking about what the famous double rainbow guy would say if he saw the picture of this quadruple rainbow. Have a great day, everybody.


Video proof the new 'Star Wars' soccer-ball droid is real, works, and argues with R2-D2.

They keep saying it's a puppet. Are we just calling robots puppets now? That sounds nice.

Like many people, I calmly assumed that BB-8, the droid from the new Star Wars trailers that resembles a tiny head floating on top of a moving soccer ball, was computer-generated. Had I kept up with Star Wars news, maybe I'd have heard sooner that I was wrong. In any case, I wouldn't have really believed it until I saw this footage from the recently concluded Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, CA. Or until I heard they're selling a toy version for $150.

They keep describing BB-8 as having been designed and operated by puppeteer Neal Scanlan (whose impressive puppeteering work dates back to Labyrinth), but I watch a lot of scary robot videos in my spare time, and let me tell you: that's a robot. Not just a robot, but one of those robots that makes me feel like we've taken one more step towards our extinction. Like these beautiful butterfly-bots.

At least when the robots write their history, it will now involve Star Wars.

Adorable three-year-old tries really hard to do a scary Maori war dance for grandma's birthday.

A boy named Levi performed a haka for his great-grandmother's 81st birthday.

Among New Zealand's indigenous Māori people, the haka is a traditional war dance performed on the battlefield to intimidate the enemy. It's still used in ceremonies, and some New Zealand teams enjoy doing them on the sports field. But apparently, it's also used to melt hearts, like when three-year-old Levi here does it. At the same time, his commitment is genuinely intimidating. If he were ten years older, or if there were four more of him, I wouldn't be smiling. I'd be running the other way.

Rapper Waka Flocka Flame is running for President in 2016 and he has some surprisingly good ideas.

You'll never guess what the first item on the agenda is (you probably guessed):


In a campaign announcement video on RollingStone.com, Waka Flocka Flame made it official: he is in the running to be the next President of the United States of America. He claims the only person in his way is Hillary Clinton because women "who already have all the rights" seem to like her. He still thinks he can win if he runs on these major issues:

1. Legalize it.

It might seem like a joke to you, but it's clearly near and dear to his heart and could help a lot of people currently in prison for non-violent drug offenses. He knows what he's talking about. He chose 4/20 as his date to announce and already has the weed picked out to smoke if he wins. It's called "Presidential Kush."

2. Extremely decisive foreign policy.

He didn't even say hello when he picked up his phone, but instead said: "I don't give a damn if we go to war. F**k you b****es!" That's who I'd want getting the proverbial '3 AM phone call.'

3. Legalize it.

Again, pretty clear that it's the number one item on his agenda, and Godspeed, I say. He even told kids not to use it if schoolwork is too hard, so maybe you should be an adult and see why legalization is a good idea that won't hurt anyone ever.

4. No more dogs in restaurants.

I'm not sure if an executive order can actually make this happen, but it is annoying. Leave your dog at your house and bring him some leftovers. Jeez.

5. Something called "Reality Skills."

Every day a new piece of technology threatens students' abilities to learn and remain focused at school. I'm guessing I'm too old and out of touch to know why someone would need to be taught what reality is, but kids definitely need that skill. They need to be told how to acknowledge reality and know the difference between what's real and what's merely an electronic projection, especially since The Singularity is right around the corner.

6. 15 dollar/hour minimum wage for all fast food employees.

You must be a money-grubbing member of the 1% if you don't want to help the people who serve you fries. Don't be on the wrong side of History: vote this man into the Oval Office!

7. Legalize it.

He ended the video by calling his pick for Vice President who said that it was guaranteed: "There's gonna be unlimited weed smoking." I don't think he's going to let us down.

Drunk lady's attempt to flip backward over McDonald's counter ends poorly.

They have a phrase in Swedish for things like this—"Tja, det var dumt."

Here are the two most important revelations contained in this video of a poorly thought-out backflip over a McDonald's counter:

1) People is Sweden are just as capable of being dumbasses as people here in the U.S.

2) People in Sweden are just as quick to abandon their dumbass friends as people here in the U.S.

Did you notice how fast the cameraperson cut ties and noped out of there at the end? Those were the actually impressive reflexes on display in the video.

A boy and a grandfather played Russian roulette with pie, and the Internet loves it.

Delicious suspense, the board game.

This kid and his grandfather are apparently playing a game called Pie Face, which is listed for children ages 4 and up. But even at my advanced age, I think this might be a little too intense for me. I had a hard time watching the video. I kept screaming "Don't let the kid get hit in the face with a pie!" at my screen as though there were a rock made of poison on that plastic hand.

This is clearly my problem, because these two seem to be having the times of their lives. Same goes for the literally tens of millions of people who watched it when the kid's mom posted it to Facebook.

Many real-life lazy boyfriends were shamed in the making of "All The Lazy Boyfriends."

The new video (at bottom) for "All The Lazy Boyfriends" by They Might Be Giants is relatable to anyone with a lazy boyfriend.


What a sleepy boyfriend.

Do you have a boyfriend? Then you can probably relate to at least one of the signs featured in They Might Be Giants' adorable, boyfriend-shaming new music video for their catchy song "All The Lazy Boyfriends." If you can't relate to any of these at all, it's time to take a look inward, because you are the lazy one in your relationship.


It's soooooo hard to get the toilet paper on the thingy.


The lazy math genius.


Expert lazy boyfriends perfect their techniques from a young age.


Wait, date night doesn't mean sitting on the couch?


Santa has it pretty easy.


Just reading this sign sends my OCD into overdrive.

Guys. Get it together. I could watch hours of this kind of footage (I don't know what that says about me, but probably something bad). Watch the full video below to see even more lazy boyfriends.

We wish these hilariously bizarre anti-theft signs a guy placed in a mall garage were real.

A drone's dying battery turned a relaxing sunset video into a thrilling last-second rescue.

This is the most beautiful almost losing a really expensive toy has ever looked.

You can fast-forward to about one minute in to see the drone start to lose altitude, but I highly recommend taking in the whole shot to watch the tiny dot on the beach that is Ryan Chatfield, the drone's owner, slowly realize something is wrong and start running. Not only is the lighting and scenery gorgeous, but it really makes the fact that he somehow gets there in the last second that much more amazing.

Oh man, I may be 30, but there is still no feeling worse to me than buying something fun and new like a fresh $60 video game and accidentally breaking it. This is why I don't have a drone; they're expensive, and I'd almost definitely break it, and then a bunch of kids would have to watch a 30-year-old man in the park cry because he flew his toy into a tree and snapped a propeller.

Read Kanye West's "Steve Jobs on LSD"-style life realization he had while getting his teeth cleaned.

In a recent 'Paper Magazine' piece, Yeezus cited dentist-provided nitrous as his "version of Steve Jobs and his LSD trip."


You guys all gotta try going to the dentist. (via Getty Images)

Kanye recently gave an interview to Paper Magazinethat's 50% amazing and and well-thought-out, and 50% like the person transcribing the interview accidentally dropped all of Kanye's sentences and picked them up out of order. Take, for example, the end of a paragraph on celebrities running the world:

We don't run anything; we're celebrities. We're the face of brands. We have to compromise what we say in lyrics so we don't lose money on a contract. Madonna is in her 50s and gave everything she had to go up on an award show and get choked by her cape. She's judged for who she adopts. Fuck all of this sensationalism. We gave you our lives. We gave you our hearts. We gave you our opinions!

Kanye makes a good point on how real power and celebrity interact, and then undercuts it by ending the paragraph with "We gave you our opinions!" like that's the most soul-draining thing any human can do. Also, if that was the case, focus groups would just be filled with a bunch of people bawling while discussing credit card preferences.


I have no idea what happening here. Is Kim feeding Kanye a marshmallow in the audience at the Grammys? If you go to the Grammys, do they give you free marshmallows?

Anyway, the entire article is worth a read, even if Kanye sometimes pogos between sounding like a college freshman stoner and Tony Robbins. His nitrous realization comes at the end of the piece:

One time I was at the dentist's office and I was given nitrous gas and I was vibing out I guess that's my version of Steve Jobs and his LSD trip when I had this first thought: What is the meaning of life? And then I thought, To give. What's the key to happiness? Happiness. What do you want in life? When you give someone something, should they give you something in return? No. We don't have to expect to be compensated by the person we give to. Just give. I'm a Christian so I'll speak in Christian terms: God will give you tenfold. Then I said in my mind I'm still under the gas and getting my teeth cleaned But I just want to be remembered. And I immediately corrected myself. I said, It doesn't even matter if I'm remembered. I came out of the gas and had a completely new attitude on everything.

I'm mostly just in love with the fact that anyone and especially Kanye West would admit to having their big life realization while getting their teeth cleaned. lso, if I'm reading this right, it sounds like Kanye got nitrous just for a teeth cleaning. Not even filling a cavity. Just a cleaning. Now that's star power.

Keep cool.

Just a goat dressed as a dog frolicking to best song from the summer of 2000.

Peppa Lass the goat frolicks in a dog costume to the "sweet" sounds of the Baha Men, because why not?

I'm not sure if the creator of this video is trying to imply that Peppa Lass, the goat dressed as a dog, is the one who let the dogs out, or that the Peppa Lass is the dog. And hey, guys, in our own ways, aren't we all both the dogs and the people who let the dogs out?

Wow. Let's just sit with that for a minute.

Also, if you also have problems listening to the chorus of "Who Let the Dogs Out" on repeat, I suggest that you mute the video above and play one of these alternative soundtracks.

"The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music

"Can't Run But" by Paul Simon

(If you sing along, try changing the lyric from "I can't run, but I can walk much faster" to "I can't run, but I can goat much faster.")

"Testify" by Rage Against the Machine

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."

David Shuff owns a therapy dog, which is how he met Alice Barker, age 102. Barker had been a well-known and successful dancer in the her day, and performed with some of the biggest names of stage and screen. I guess, however, she was just one of those people who didn't like to see herself on screen. I can sympathize (because unlike Barker, I'm painful to watch). In the intervening decades, the physical recordings and other memorabilia of her time on stage was lost, including the films.

In addition to owning a therapy dog, David Shuff works with Mark Cantor for Jazz on Film, and together they tracked down footage of Barker. This is the first time she's ever seen it.

Shuff also noted that although he wishes so much of the video wasn't him talking, it took a while to get Barker warmed up and talking about her memories, particularly when she wanted to just watch.

If Game of Thrones took place entirely on Facebook - Season 5, Episode 2.
