Would you believe that this photograph was taken more than a century ago?

This young woman, who looks like someone who might accidentally spill PBR on your shoes at an Avett Brothers concert, was probably born around 1899 or 1900.

These photographs were taken on the beach at Lulworth Cove, England in 1913, a year before World War I shattered the placidity of Europe.

The young woman's name is Christina O'Gorman. The photos were taken by her father, Mervyn O'Gorman, a 42-year-old British engineer who was experimenting with an early form of color photography called Autochrome Lumière, which used potato starch on a glass plate as a color filter.

These are some of the earliest color photographs in existence.

Christina is almost certainly dead by now. Though there are no records of her life, we can assume that she probably died in the 1980s or '90s. In these photos, however, she's still young. Still pretty. She still has her whole life before her.

A life that has now come and gone. One that's been over for decades now. And all that remains are these few photographs taken on pleasant afternoon in 1913.

Man, I really bum myself out sometimes.

Baltimore police released warnings of a "credible threat" from allied gangs, so gangs allied to respond by saying they want an end to violence.

When a group of people well known for acts of violence tells you to stop being violent, that's when you know things have gotten out of hand.

Yesterday, Baltimore police released a statement saying an alliance had been made between the Black Guerrilla Family, Crips, and Bloods to "take out" officers. WBAL News, however, showed a different side of the story. Members of the gangs spoke in an interview saying they came together to promote peace in the community and to calm things down.

Members of the group spoke on the subjects of looting, protests, and how their gangs are always portrayed in the media as negative when, especially now, they are attempting to promote something positive. They want people to stop destroying property because it gives more fuel to people not in support of their cause. They want people to come together and protest peacefully.

So it comes down to: who do you trust more? The police who seem to have systemic problems across the country when dealing with black suspects? Or a group of people known for fighting each other setting aside their differences to promote a message of peace?

Before you start thinking that Baltimore has turned into a scene from The Warriors, hear out the people who were at the protests, who witnessed how the police dealt with crowds, and who have been the subject of police scrutiny likely their entire lives in Baltimore.

According to Snopes.com, police have yet to provide any additional information about where the threat came from or what the threat entailed. Snopes also points out that similar threat warnings were released by the NYPD around the time of the Eric Garner protests with specific tactics for officers to watch out for. None of the activity warned of, however, actually happened.

"Wow! Wow! Wow. F*ck me."

"Well, I guess this is as far as we go today." - me, if this was me.

Sometimes, nature can be so beautiful it leaves you at a loss for words. Sometimes, it explodes without warning with the force of a nuclear bomb. On those occasions, words are usually easier to find. They're also usually more profane. That was the case with hiker Walter Witt, who was on the slopes of Calbuco when it suddenly erupted last week. Although lots of great footage of the eruption was released immediately, none were as close as Witt:

In his YouTube description, Witt defends himself against those who ask why he didn't keep filming longer. Due to some language difficulties, I'll paraphrase his answer: "I was standing on an exploding volcano with no one around in an unfamiliar wilderness setting and I had 15% battery left on my phone. I figured it was time to go." Sounds like a sensible decision.

Twitter user AC filmed this man forming a one-man barricade between rioters and police on the streets of Baltimore.

Earlier today, we profiled one mom doing her part to keep the peace in Baltimore. Now, here's another ordinary citizen stepping up. In this Twitter video, an anonymous man is seen separating a line of rioters from a line of police in full riot gear. Facing the rioters, he shouts at them, "Do not give them a reason!" Wise words from a man of peace.

The irony is that he's wearing a shirt with the symbol of the Punisher, one of the most violent superheroes in all of Marvel Comics. Considering how touchy riot police get, I'm surprised they didn't see the shirt as enough of a reason. Maybe they're DC guys.

On Tuesday morning, New York Times reporter Sarah Lyall sat in on Paul Mason's skin-removal surgery.

Hey, do you want to know what a bunch of skin detached from a human body looks like? Then I have some Tweets for you! On Tuesday morning, New York Times reporter Sarah Lyall sat in on a skin-removal surgery for a NYT piece — but she also live-tweeted the process.

I am in the Lenox Hill OR, where Paul Mason, who lost 650 pounds, is having huge folds of loose skin removed.
— Sarah Lyall (@sarahlyall) April 28, 2015

According to Lyall, four plastic surgeons worked on Mason to remove "a huge apron of skin" and then reattach his blood vessels.

Lyall's last Tweet from the surgery noted that, unfortunately, the skin removed during the surgery cannot be used again — for example, it can't be donated to someone who needs a skin graft.

If you're not feeling too squeamish already and want to understand more about plastic surgery, Dr. Michael Kelly at Miami Plastic Surgery has a "webcast series" where he posts videos of actual surgeries, walking viewers through step-by-step so they can see what happens. For example, here's a tummy tuck:

And if you are feeling too squeamish and need something to distract you, here's a slow loris holding a toy and getting brushed:

They met at a Britney Spears show, got married at a Britney Spears show, and Britney Spears gave them her blessing.

They drive each other "crazy." See what we did there? (Via Mashable)

David Krawsek and Woody Arenas are such huge Britney Spears fans that they both attended the opening night of Spears' ongoing "Piece of Me" show at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood in December 2013. They met at the show, found they had more in common than a shared love of pop music and glitzy Vegas shows, and on April 24, 2014, began a long-distance relationship. (David lived in San Diego, Woody outside of Washington, D.C.)

On their one-year anniversary, last Friday, they returned to Planet Hollywood to take in Spears's show again…and to get married.

After nixing an idea to get married in front of the stage during the show because it would be too distracting to other showgoers, they got married by minister Roland August (who just happened to play the Elvis minister in Katy Perry's "Waking Up in Vegas" video). The wedding was throughly Spears-centric, including the "bridesmaids"—two mannequins, one wearing Spears's stewardess dress from the "Toxic" video, and the other in Spears's red lion-tamer outfit from "Circus." And right after the first kiss and a champagne toast, a surprise: a taped video message to the couple from Britney, bitch.

(Via Getty Images)

"Hi, David and Woody," Spears said. "I'm so excited to have you back at my show where the two of you met…in 2013," Britney said. "I'm honored to be a part of your love story. Congratulations and all the best for an amazing life together."

A Canadian man was rightfully pulled over because he was missing a lot of necessary requirements for driving a car.

Aw, that's not a license plate, silly! (via Niagra Regional Police)

As you can see from the police photo above, Ontario law enforcement had good reason to pull over this Dodge Caravan on Monday morning.

The driver was officially charged for driving without the following items:
1. Doors.
2. Windows.
3. Licence plates.
4. A valid driver's license.
5. Insurance

I mean, of course he didn't have insurance. Someone who drives a windowless, doorless, license-less car does not file paperwork. However, the driver was in possession of many other exciting things instead of car insurance!

Here are the things he DID have:

1. Yield sign (illegal, sadly).
2. Dented rear bumper.
3. Four legged stool secured with a length of rope.
4. A ton of wood-paneled garbage.
5. An un-hatched hatch-back.
6. Childlike sense of whimsy (conjecture).

After the cops pulled him over, records indicated he had been stopped for driving the same crazy funhouse van on the same road two weeks earlier. He did not learn his lesson. Please look out for gems like this the next time you're driving in Canada.

A couple is suing Amazon and Apple because their engagement photo was used on the cover of an erotic fan-fiction football e-book.

The original cover, aka "a cover to remember" from A Gronking to Remember.
(via The Daily Beast/Amazon)

You see that happy couple above? That's their engagement photo on the cover of A Gronking to Remember, an erotic football e-book by an author writing under the pen name Lacey Noonan. The couple is suing Amazon and Apple, the publishers of the e-book, because it turns out that "becoming the face of a poorly written erotic football novel" was not one of the wedding gifts the couple registered for. In fact, the couple — referred to as John Roe and Jane Roe in their lawsuit— have no idea how their image ended up on the cover of the book.

A Gronking to Remember, in case you aren't aware, is an erotica novella that tried to capitalize on the popularity of Patriots' player Rob Grownkowski. It contains passages like this:

"Spike me, Daniel, through the goal posts of life."
"What?"
"Like Gronk does."
"What?"
"Do to me what Gronk does to a football."
"What?"
"Here on the bed."

If the book was simply mediocre, the couple probably never would have discovered their picture. But A Gronking to Remember has that special mixture of awfulness, weirdness, and celebrity that Gronk-spiked it into popularity. You might remember Gronk himself reading the book on Jimmy Kimmel Live:

All of the ridiculousness aside, the lawsuit actually brings up some interesting questions about when a company does and does not count as a publisher, and whether or not Apple and Amazon can be liable for books that people self-publish through their services. If you want more information on that, TheHollywood Reporter has a good overview of the issue in their piece.

Or you could go to Amazon and use the "Look Inside" feature to read some random pages of Gronk erotica. Then, you too can read lines like "Sandman would not unload his sandy cum into my eyes" and "He looked down at me with morbid disgust" Sexy!

Yes, even 'Howard The Duck.'

Not all Marvel movies are Marvel Studios movies, but all those persnickety licensing issues are mercifully laid aside in this supercut from Robert Jones, which brings together almost 30 years of Marvel characters on screen. To be honest, there's a lot I've forgotten here, especially the early-2000s X-Men and Spiderman films, and of course, Blade. Did you know that Wesley Snipes went all method on the set of Blade and would only answer to "Blade"? It's a big part of why Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds were brought in—a none-so-subtle reminder to Snipes that they could move the series on beyond him and his demands.

Anyway, I have a lot of stuff to go watch all of a sudden.

Sid is a 5-year-old beagle mix and chill dog dude who loves hanging out with food in his mouth.

"Hey, man. Do you ever just put the food in you mouth... and then NOT eat it?"

"Whoa, man."

Meet Sid, aka My Regal Beagle on Instagram. Sid and his owner, photographer Alex Hopes, have traveled all over the country together. But one constant, no matter where they go? Sid loves sitting there holding food in his mouth and just looking super content, as you can see in the video above. Oh, and he does other adorable things too:

Yes, that was Hilary Duff you saw on Tinder. Because she's on there now.

I have no idea what Hilary Duff's actual Tinder picture is, but I hope it's a collage of Hillary Clinton drinking a can of Duff beer. (via Hilary Duff on Instagram)

Hilary Duff has joined the ranks of celebrities on Tinder (ranks that also include Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Kennedy*). Earlier this week, she revealed on the radio show Valentine in the Morning that she's "talking to probably about nine guys right now" on the dating app. And like all sensible people, there's one kind of picture that turns her off — "I don't want to see a shirtless, mirror selfie. That is instantly a left."

So sorry, this guy. No Hilary Duff for you:

People say this image is a "fail," but I legitimately love that he used that camera.
(via Holy Taco)

Duff went on her first Tinder "date" Monday night. I put date in quotes because when she discussed it on On Air With Ryan Seacrest, the more she talked about it, the less it sounded like a date:

"We went bowling so we didn't have to talk too much, but we did talk a lot actually."

OK, great. Conversation! That's a good sign.

"He was cool."

Good, good...

"He brought a friend and I had some friends there."

Ah. See, uh... I don't think that's a date anymore, Hillary. I'm not trying to date-shame here; I get that especially when you're famous, you might not want to just go meet a rando app person by yourself. But maybe call it a meet-n-greet?

Anyway, here's a picture Duff posted from the date bowling night:

It's hard to remember the last time an instrumental theme to a television show or movie drilled itself as deeply into the collective consciousness as Game of Thrones. Something that's both instantly recognizable (even to non-show-watchers) and easily singable, even though there are no lyrics. Was it Star Wars? Maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark? Does the Seinfeld bass slap count?

At any rate, Ramin Djawadi's masterful main title theme has inspired more tributes and variations than can be collected here without melting our servers, so here's just a few of the most ingenius and most interesting:

The Smooth Jazz Version

The Queen's Guard Version

The Tesla Coil Version

The Spaghetti Western Version

The Bossa Nova Version

The 1980s Synth Version

The Dixieland Version

The 8 Bit Version

The Samba Version

The Floppy Drive Version

The Dubstep Version

The Bell Tower Version

The Jazz Fusion Version

The Ska Version

The Industrial EDM Version

Just because you're outdoors doesn't mean you're an animal. Start your camping day out right with this tiny shot of civilization.

2. Portable fold up kitchen

(via Amazon)

This item is ideal for the person whose idea of “roughing it" is not having a dishwasher.

3. Self-turning marshmallow sticks

(via Amazon)

These are a “must have" for anyone who wants a taste of childhood without the hassle of turning their wrist.

4. Portable toilet with privacy cabana

(via CampMor)

Between this and your fold up kitchen you are basically just building a new house.

5. Durable charging station

(via Amazon)

If you take a picture in the woods but can't Instagram it until Monday, did it even happen? You won't have to worry about that riddle anymore thanks to this portable charger. Keep your cell phone, laptop, and other devices at 100% so you can fall asleep to your nature sounds playlist without fear of running out of juice.

6. Inflatable movie screen

(via Amazon)

There are plenty of daytime activities to enjoy while camping but what are you supposed to do once night falls? Talk? Yikes. Just plug your projector into your portable charging station and let TheFast and the Furious franchise come to the rescue.

7. Luxury 1930s safari tent

(via Cool Camping Gear)

If you're going to camp in a way that is completely disconnected from nature, you might as well go all the way and completely disconnect from reality. Enjoy romanticizing the past in this tent bigger than many people's actual homes.

8. Bubble tent

If romanticizing the past isn't your style, try sleeping in this nightmare vision of our future. Experience the wonders of planet Earth while living like a resident on a distant moon colony.

9. Camping blender

This item has a double use: the noise of the blender scares away bears and the dozens of margaritas you plan to drink will help you forget bears exist.

10. High-heeled Teva sandals

Don't sacrifice fashion for camping. You'll want to look good for the rangers who come to your rescue when you inevitably fall while hiking.

The latest video in the series "100 Years of Beauty" depicts changing beauty standards in Mexico over the last century.

We've thoroughly enjoyed this series of videos from Cut Video, where a model's hair and makeup are changed to match the fashion of each decade of the twentieth century.

The Mexico episode is the best so far, though, because in the 1910s, many Mexican women became soldaderas, female soldiers who fought alongside men in the Mexican Revolution. Pretty badass, especially compared to the 1990s scrunchies and glossy red lipstick look.

On the other hand, the Scrunchie Revolution did free us from the tyranny of the Bobby Pin Regime. It was a bloodless coup.

When you're done thinking about that, check out the USA and Korea episodes.

A French company will soon be offering custom made scents that will never let you forget.

A dab on the neck and wrists will have you sobbing.(via Thinkstock)

Just in case you never wanted to move on from your loss and be constantly surrounded by the power of your olfactory stimulated memories, there will soon be a place where you can have the smell of someone you've loved and lost bottled forever.

While not as shocking as the previously reported glass dildo filled with cremains, the idea of always being able to smell the dead is a deeply sad one. Katia Apalategui is the 52-year-old French woman who is making it possible, in conjunction with a chemist at Havre University. And if you think it's weird now, wait till you find out how it works.

First, you collect personal items from the deceased: clothes, bedsheets… basically anything they spent a lot of time touching. Then, a chemical process isolates all the human-derived organic molecules, separates them, and turns them into a sprayable fragrance. It's like B.O. in a bottle!

Apaletegui's idea is that the fragrance will provide "olfactory comfort." It's like when you smell someone's old underwear and cry, except somehow sadder and creepier. Then again, there is something sweet to the idea. Unlike the smell. That's probably not sweet.

She plans to launch the company in September along with her son, who's in business school. The product will cost €560, or about $600 USD. For that price, you'll be able to have this conversation over and over:

"That's a very interesting scent. What is it?"
"A dead person."

Hooray! "Lizzie McGuire" peeps got back together to reminisce about old times and create some buzz.

Hillary Clinton could take a page from Hilary Duff's book when it comes to stunts to get yourself in the news.

Ms. Duff has been doing all kinds of stunt-y stuff lately, in what I can only assume is an attempt to get her name on our minds so we watch her new TV show, which I can't remember the name of.

First, there was the half-naked selfie on Instagram. That was a two-for-one cause it wasn't just an underwear pic, it was an empowering, "I'm a mom but look at my abs" shot.

Then, Ms. Duff revealed she is using Tinder to date (though rumors have spread that she may be dating producer Matthew Koma).

Then yesterday, former Lizzie McGuire co-star Jake Thomas shared a photo on Instagram of himself, Duff, and Lalaine out bowling. Because they still adore each other and because the word "reunion" appeals to the nostalgia-producing part of our weak, celebrity-loving brains.

Okay, Ms. Duff. I will bite. I will google your damn TV show.

In order to avoid his trial date, this drug trafficking suspect put his GPS device on his cat and fled.

The face of a criminal mastermind and the headline I wish I'd come up with. (screengrab via Fox 13)

Diego Martinez-Espinoza was to stand trial in early May for his alleged involvement trafficking 10 kilograms of coke in the drum of a dryer. The judge let him return home until his court date as long as he wore a GPS device around his ankle.

That's when genius struck.

Martinez-Espinoza detached his GPS device and put it on his cat. I guess cats move around a house in a similar fashion to humans except a little lazier and spending way too much time near the sink trying to figure out the magic that makes water come out of it.

The cat did not fool law enforcement very long, but long enough for Martinez-Espinoza to flee the state and possibly the country. Whenever a GPS device like this is tampered with, an alert is sent to the DEA and a text is sent to the suspect's phone asking the suspect to confirm with police immediately that the device is still on. Instead of calling, Martinez-Espinoza texted a photo of the device still on his body.

Little did the cops know that every time the device went off, it was because the cat was moving to the sunnier side of the carpet to get some more sleep. Add this to the list of ways to use your cat besides as a cat.

To see how complicated it is to detach a device like this and not get caught, watch this report from Fox News:
