It's a scientific fact that the best way to show how much you love something is by putting it on your nails. These Harry Potter fans transfigured their love of wizards and Hogwarts into some really (oh boy, here it comes) MAGICAL nails. 

1. The boy wizard.

The man (boy), the myth, the legend: Harry Potter with his owl Hedwig, and Gryffindor colors gold and scarlet.

2. The whole gang. 

They look so happy! Maybe they just figured out it's Snape who stole the Sorcerer's Stone. 

3. Angsty Harry.

Circa Order of the Phoenix era.

4. Baby Harry and the giant Snitch. 

Accurate sizes of Daniel Radcliffe and the Golden Snitch.

5. The Hogwarts houses.

The closest thing to a real-life peaceful union the four houses will ever experience.

6. Gryffindor nails, only for the brave. 

And for those courageous enough to blossom into very attractive people (looking at you, Dean Thomas aka Neville Longbottom). 

7. Sparkly Slytherin.

Probably best for Muggles not to sport these if ever in the company of Death Eaters. 

8. Hufflepuff's boring yellow and black.

Hufflepuff, the house of patience and loyalty, is symbolized by the badger. Wear these if you want to get made fun of!

9. Pointy Ravenclaw talons.

For the intellectual sort, or for those who think a diadem would make a great fashion accessory. 

10. All aboard. 

A tribute to the place where wizards escape the world Muggles have to live in. 

11. A wizardly work of art.

Run around yelling "Lumos!" with these nails. Do it.

12. Harry's first Snitch.

For those who like their fingers sucked on (because of that one time young Harry caught it in his mouth). 

13. For a Bellatrix cosplay.

Lestrange rocked some enviably long nails during all her film appearances. Her dental care left something to be desired, however. 

14. Feelings!

Harry is yelling and has happy memories!!

15. A selection of quintessential wizard symbols.

Including a letter presumably delivered via owl post, which for some reason wizards think is efficient. 

16. Nails overflowing with references. 

There's more going on here than in a pensieve. 

17. A Deathly Hallows tribute from a master of nails. 

And then Death gave the fourth sibling a nail brush that made the best nail art. 

18. The Marauders' Map.

These nails are asking its wearer to get up to mischief all the damn time.

19. The flight of the hippogriff.

The subtle ombré mani will look very nice when flailing around to "Do The Hippogriff."

20. Sirius/Padfoot.

Sirius Black was a looker even in dog form. 

21. Dobby, upgraded to owning two whole socks. 

Like Dobby, but slightly less annoying, these nails can be with you wherever you go.

22. Cedric Diggory, pre-vampire days.

The first major source of tearstains in reader's books. One day, Hufflepuff will have something to celebrate. 

23. Draco Malfoy, glaring.

Add a layer of shiny top coat to replicate Draco's perpetually slicked-back hair. 

24. The second most annoying cat. 

Flaunt your tendency to tattle on friends with Mrs. Norris tribute nails.

25. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Painted-In-Polish.

Only Dumbledore or Harry would've have enough courage to wear these nails.

26. Pinkies can double as wands.

Play wizards on your fingers and creep out everyone near you with these sick nails.

27. The showdown.

Which showdown these nails display can be up to the wearer. 

28. "Always."

RIP Alan Rickman. The ideal nails for holding tissues while re-watching Deathly Hallows, Part II and remembering that everyone was always wrong about Snape.

A post-conviction hearing is currently underway for Adnan Syed, whose case was investigated in the extremely popular podcast Serial. Syed was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, 16 years ago. For the first time since the podcast came out, Lee's family has spoken about how the podcast and the new hearing have affected them.

In a statement released by the Maryland Attorney General, the Lee family continues to believe that Syed is guilty. “The events of this past week have reopened wounds few can imagine," they write, “It remains hard to see so many run to defend someone who committed a horrible crime, who destroyed our family, who refuses to accept responsibility, when so few are willing to speak up for Hae. She stood up for what was right, regardless of popular opinion.”

The family proceeded to address fans of the podcast directly: “Unlike those who learn about this case on the internet, we sat and watched every day of both trials—so many witnesses, so much evidence."

Syed was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 2000, and he failed to win a retrial in 2012. 

Serial reinvigorated the case after the story was downloaded millions of times, and Syed's lawyers are arguing that the podcast brought forth potential alibi witnesses who were ignored during the first trial.

Asia McClain, who was interviewed on the podcast, testified last week that she was speaking with Syed in the library during the time that the murder was supposedly taking place.

Lee's family members are convinced of Syed's guilt, and criticized McCain in their letter:

We wish Ms. Asia McClain had watched [the trial] too, because then she would not do what she is doing. Whatever her personal motives, we forgive her, but we hope she will not use Hae's name in public, which hurts when we hear it from her. She did not know Hae, and because of Adnan she never will.

The Lee family concluded their letter by reminding fans of the podcast not to forget in the midst of the debates over Syed's innocence that Hae is the true victim of the story.

Weeks like this, it is easy to forget that seventeen years ago the beautiful, blossoming song of Hae Min Lee was silenced forever by Adnan Syed. In her diary, Hae once wrote: ‘Do love and remember me forever.’ We do, and we always will.”

Lee's family will not be attending the hearings.

For some couples, the romance fades after baby arrives, but actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are keeping it alive the old-fashioned way: with public groping.

28-year-old Lively, mom to a daughter named James, because famous people name their kids whatever the f*ck they want, posted this lovely portrait of the couple to Instagram on Saturday. It features Reynolds, star of the new comic-book flick Deadpool, with fingers splayed lovingly over the bosom of his one and only.

Lively's photo is captioned "Two Deadpools, one cup. Your turn." Get it? Because he's Deadpool, sitting on a Deadpool and cupping her breast. No poop though.

The couple is known for their public sense of humor about their relationship. After James was born in December 2014, Lively shared a pic of Reynolds with the little girl in a baby carrier (the wrong way, as commenters were thrilled to point out), and the caption "Since the day our baby was born, I've felt so strongly in my heart that you were most likely the father."

Ryan Reynolds: men want to be him. Women want to be groped by him. Babies want him to read the directions on the Ergo. 

When it comes to the future of sex, science has one word for you: teledildonics—the real-life field of having sex toys communicate across distances so partners feel the same thing. That exciting new frontier of science has made a number of breakthroughs, recently, in parallel with the exploding realm of virtual reality porn and virtual reality sex. Put them all together and what do you get, besides a hot sticky mess? This brand-new long-distance sex system pairing a dildo and a sex sleeve that communicate to allow couples to send very anatomical sensations to each other over the Internet. There have been other attempts to do this, but a new system profiled by BBC reporter Tyger Drew-Honey (yes, really) is the most advanced yet. The video is only 46 seconds long, but it will probably blow your mind at least twice:

Editor's note: At the end of the video, Tyger seems to be going into a private room, while the device's inventor, Maurice, says "I'll be controlling the female device." I don't know what happens after that. I don't really want to ask, either. The full video is unavailable in the United States.

If people's reactions to virtual reality porn are any indication, no one will ever be getting work done again.

If you're interested in adopting a dog-sized animal, but feel that dogs are too much of a "normal" choice, then this humongous bunny may be the animal for you. His name is Atlas, and he's a Continental Giant rabbit currently boarding with the Scottish SPCA in Glasgow.

Our centre in Glasgow is seeking a new home for a larger than life rabbit.

The 7 month old continental giant rabbit named Atlas is already about the size of a westie and still has some growing to do!

He is a very friendly rabbit who loves attention and getting cuddles. Atlas is also an inquisitive boy who makes everyone laugh with his mischievous character.

We are looking for a specific home for Atlas due to his breed and size. A standard rabbit hutch won’t do so his new owner will need plenty of space for him. Atlas needs an owner with the knowledge to properly care for him, so ideally someone who has kept a continental giant before.

If anyone is interested in offering Atlas a home they should give our Glasgow centre a call on 03000 999 999.

While 03000 999 999 sounds like a fake number, it is real and anyone who wants the chance to own a big-ass bunny should get on that ASAP. Given the response Atlas has gotten on Facebook, he may not be around for too long.

For those unable to house an oversized rabbit, here are some more pictures of giant rabbits for you to dream about. 

Wallace the Flemish Giant is tiny in comparison to Atlas.

Here's another moderate-sized Flemish Giant, named Ellery.

Meet Dommel, a big French Lop.

This is Darius, who is four-feet long.

Darius is the world's largest rabbit. But Atlas isn't done growing yet, so his new owners could end up having a record-setter in their arms.  

And here's one more rabbit, Buttercup.

He's not a giant. 

High school sweethearts Louis and Ashleigh Davis tied the knot on February 6th, and celebrated in a finger-lookin'-good way. The New Zealand couple took traditional pictures before the ceremony, but Louis also wanted, to quote fast-food rival Burger King, have it his way. 

Between the ceremony and the reception, the entire wedding party got into limousines and went to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Louis told The New Zealand Herald that because his wife got to call the shots with the big, traditional wedding, he wanted to do something that reflected his personality.

"Originally, he wanted everyone in the groom's party to be naked, strategically holding the bridesmaids' bouquets. But Mrs. Davis wasn't impressed with that idea," the Herald explains. Marriage is about compromise.

According to the paper, "everyone who knows him, knows how much he loves KFC." He even posted about it on the day of his wedding:

The wedding party celebrated both Louis' love for his wife and his love for Kentucky Fried Chicken on the most special day of his life. Since the picture took off online, Louis has been pondering what would really make him the happiest man on earth.

Congratulations to the happy couple, and to KFC for the free publicity.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was in attendance at the Super Bowl and excitedly tweeted from the field after the Broncos won. In a momentary lapse of judgment, Cook showed his humanity and took a blurry photo.

The masses descended on the tech CEO and blasted him for taking a crappy picture.

Cook redeemed himself with a perfectly in-focus follow-up.

But Twitter could not move past the first photo.

Everyone should be thanking Tim Cook. He dared to tweet a candid, non-photoshopped pictured. In this day and age, that's brave. 

"New York values" might be unpopular with some politicians, but New York City is honestly way too big to be defined by one set of values. In fact, it's worth mentioning to all those heartlanders complaining about the influence of New York that it's the largest city in the country by population by far! In fact, if its most populous borough—Brooklyn (not Manhattan)—was split off as its own city, that borough would be the fourth largest city in the country. An Imgur user mapped out what other cities you could comfortably stuff inside the City That Never Sleeps, and it's pretty mind-boggling just how huge NYC is, even if you already pronounce "huge" as "yuge."

In case you're not familiar, New York City is comprised of five large chunks of land called boroughs (another word for "county"): Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. In the maps below, the Bronx is in red, Manhattan is in blue, Queens is in orange, Brooklyn is in yellow, and Staten Island is in purple.

Los Angeles, the second biggest city in the country, has the same population as two NYC boroughs—Manhattan and Queens—combined. Chicago, the third biggest city, has roughly the same population as Brooklyn, and Philadelphia—the fifth biggest city in the country—is the size of the Bronx.

Here's another version with large American cities without having to combine anything to account for Los Angeles.

In fact, some large cities are small enough that you have to combine them with other cities just to attain the population of a single NYC borough.

Although London is a similar size, the other great cities of Europe are but the building blocks of the Big Apple.

The states of Iowa and New Hampshire have a huge say in who gets to become president every four years. Yet even combined, they'd only add up to half of this much-maligned metropolis.

If New York City gets too big a head from this, though, remind them that the popular vote still doesn't mean sh*t in this country. Also, there are a bunch of bigger cities in Asia and Africa and Mexico and Brazil. They're not literally the capital of Earth, however. (Seriously, the United Nations is on the Upper East Side and every nation on Earth has a separate mission in NYC in addition to Washington.)

Beyoncé is a robot alien here from the planet YasKween, but last night, while ritually cannibalizing performing alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl, her programming briefly went haywire. Namely: Queen Bey almost fell to the undeserving earth while pulling off a difficult hop in high heeled boots. 

Compare her dancing here to the choreography of the background dancers. Still, her stumble almost looks planned.

Aside from Beyoncé, Super Bowl 50 had other performers, such as Lady Gaga. Gaga warmed up the crowd with a rendition of the national anthem that was notably not-crazy. 

While Gaga's outfit was relatively tame for the singer, it is still drawing attention because it struck some Super Bowl viewers as oddly familiar.

Facebook page Pokedex realized Gaga's look resembled Blaziken, a 2002 addition to the Pokémon family.

Those who dabbled in Pokémon earlier on may have thought Gaga looked more like Ninetales.

Yes, Gaga's hair and that of Ninetales share a similar appearance, but Gaga's red outfit seals the deal.

Lady Gaga is a final evolution Fire-type Pokémon. Twitter agrees.

Everything makes more sense now.

"POKÉMON, give me that thing that I love." 

Taylor Sloan of Santa Rosa, California lost her wallet on January 30 while attending a motocross event in Oakland. In the haze of exhaust and adrenaline from the growling bikes, she didn't realize she had misplaced the wallet until it was too late. The wallet contained $30 or $40, as well as her driver's license and debit card, so she was understandably bummed. But then, she got a call from her mother, saying that something miraculous had happened. Or rather, someone miraculous…

Sloan's mother had received a letter, which read:

Dear Ms. Sloan,

My name is Nasim Lawrence and I am 10 years old. I found your wallet on the ground at the Super Motocross event in Oakland. I know how it feels to lose something and I wanted to make sure you got your wallet back. Hopefully, I have made you smile and you are happy to have your money and ID back. I am glad I found it instead of some bad person who would steal from you. You look like a very nice person who does nice things for people so I wanted to do something nice for you. Plus it’s the honest thing to do.

Sincerely,
​Nasim

This 10-year-old samaritan had found Sloan's wallet and decided to return it instead of stealing her identity and spending the cash on motocross merch. The gesture was so sweet, and the letter so adorable, that Sloan sent it to a local radio station, Froggy 92.9. The station shared the note on Facebook, where it quickly went viral, of course. People on Facebook just love kids who don't steal.

Sloan was delighted. She told ABC News,

It was just this simple act of kindness that just warms my heart… I'm glad it's getting attention. It obviously goes to show that he comes from a really great family.

Sloan got in touch with Nasim's mother, and plans to reply to his letter with thanks, a $20 reward, and a bag of candy. But Nasim didn't do this for the reward. He did it because it was the honest thing to do. That being said, he'll probably eat the candy.

Gav and Dan, the Slow Mo Guys, have consistently proven that they're willing to go above and beyond to provide the Internet with the best in slow-motion video content. That's what's made them the YouTube sensation they are today. But this latest video has taken that commitment to a whole new level.

Climbing into a giant water balloon and popping it, hitting Jell-O with a tennis racket, or dropping a condom full of water on your head all seem pretty tame compared to sticking your tongue in a mousetrap. Even volunteering to be shot with a taser isn't as bad. But Dan did it, and the whole world is cringing in thanks for his sacrifice.

There you have it. Scientific proof that catching your tongue in a mousetrap hurts and is gross. This debate is finally over.

Yesterday was tough for Carolina Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton—first, his team lost the Super Bowl, and then he got called "boy" on Twitter by former Denver Bronco/current racist jerkoff Bill Romanowski.

Romanowski, who has since deleted the tweet (too late, buddy, the world has already seen it), wrote on Twitter: “You’ll never last in the NFL with that attitude. The world doesn’t revolve around you, boy! #CamNewton” in response to Newton abruptly walking out of a post-game interview. 

Then, when people told him his tweet came across as racist (as if he didn't know), he clarified by saying: "Calm down everyone! I meant he needs to grow up!"

And then in response to his "calm down" tweet, which he also deleted, Romanowski tweeted: "I apologize for that remark 'boy'. It was not intentional or even trying to disrespect others. Peace everyone."

Ah, "Peace everyone." Welp, problem solved!

Except problem not solved, because Romanowski (who was listed on the Denver Post's all-Dirty Team in 2011 because of his proclivity for getting ejected from games, that one time he spit directly in a black player's face, and the time he broke a teammate's eye socket a fit of roid rage) deleting a racist tweet doesn't automatically re-adjust time so that he never actually tweeted it.

It's not the first time he's said something racist, either. According to TotalProSports.com, Romanowski was once overheard trying to convince a player to use performance enhancing drugs because “It is the only way we can compete with [the black guys]," but instead of saying “black guys” he went straight for the n-word.

No word yet on whether Newton has accepted Romanowski's apology, but it's not looking too likely. 

When Victoria Weller's fourth baby was overdue to the tune of 41.5 weeks of pregnancy, she tried vigorously bouncing on an exercise ball to induce labor and crack up her kids. The fun mom got into the groove of Tinie Tempah and Katy B's "Turn the Music Louder" in her London home and racked up over 11,000 Facebook views. Plus, a lot of laughs from her already-born children.

She exclaims at the end of the clip, "Baby, come out!" and it worked—Weller gave birth to a daughter two days later, bringing an adorable baby and new dance partner into the family.

Beyoncé’s black power salute that kicked off her appearance during Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show resulted in criticism from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The salute was a reference to Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two American athletes that famously gave the gesture while receiving medals at the 1968 Olympics:

Beyoncé's backup dancers also posed for a backstage photo paying tribute to the Black Panther salute:

She began her halftime show with her new single, "Formation," along with the same famous black power salute. The video for song is politically charged and pays considerable attention to the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as touching on Hurricane Katarina and other recent events. Giuliani interpreted her gesture as an insult to police, which he told his friends on Fox & Friends Monday morning:

This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive.

Congratulations to Giuliani on being the only person in the world who did not enjoy Beyoncé during halftime (just kidding, it was him and a million furious Facebook commenters). He further elaborated his support for police officers across the country:

What we should be doing in the African-American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers. And focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK. We'll work on that. But the vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe.

Yeah, Rudy. "When something does go wrong, OK." That's a message that's sure to comfort the masses. Meanwhile, Beyoncé just announced her Formation World Tour, and is receiving praise from everyone else, especially Red Lobster, which received an NSFW shout-outin the song's lyrics:

Giuliani is, of course, entitled to his own opinion. He has powerful friends. But so does Beyoncé, and he should know better than to mess with the Illuminati. Or Red Lobster.

Sometimes the only choice you're capable of making is which junk food to eat, not whether you should eat junk food or not. It's when the idea of a salad or the like has become complete anathema. It's when you do not want—in fact you absolutely refuse—to choose between a donut and a cinnamon bun.

That's when pastry chef Thiago Silva appears behind you, taps you on the shoulder, and holds up a plate of these:

But... but... but, you whine, that's just a donut! Wahh. Wahh. Nah. Click this:

You can find this affront to god over at Silva's Manhattan restaurant, called Catch.

Dr. Frankenstein Silva told Mashable, "I thought the idea was cool if I put a cinnamon roll [inside] but it would have to be raw and cook at the same time as the donut."

Who cares how it's made! This is all that matters:

Five months ago, Imgur user fsuwonder took in a wild squirrel she named Daisy. "[M]y mom is a vet and i've been raising squirrels since I was old enough to hold a squirrel," she wrote on Imgur.

Daisy only lived with her human foster mom for three months, and fsuwonder no longer gives Daisy food. But Daisy loves her foster mom enough to keep coming back anyway.

The human and squirrel have nailed the art of the well-timed selfie.

Daisy, who will come down from her tree when fsuwonder calls, also gets back scratches whenever she wants. What a life.

Imugr user MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough commented, "disney princess level 8900" about fsuwonder. But she needs like seven more woodland creatures at her beck and call before she can claim a tiara. 

How close are you to your coworkers? Probably not as close as BuzzFeed employees are to each other, since the company's "Try Guys" are willing to eat edible underwear, lubricant, and "honey dust powder" (somehow not a variety of expensive cocaine by the way) off each other's hairy, be-thong-ed bodies. One employee bit another employee's penis! And nobody called HR! Maybe that happens at your company, too, but probably not by accident like in this video:

Seriously, though, this will all end in tears one day when someone either accidentally dies or falls in unrequited love. Or until someone calls HR. They do have HR, right?

On Monday, Kanye West was working on the second season of his fashion line, otherwise known as "Yeezy Season 2." It is part of his clothing partnership with adidas Originals, and it includes a (NSFW) zine. "Zine" is short for magazine, and zines are traditionally self-published with small circulation for fans of a niche interest.

For some reason, Kanye thought that people in the music, fashion, or publishing industries did not know how to pronounce the word, so he Yeezy-splained it for them. To be clear, Kanye's Tweet and zine include some NSFW nudity:

It turns out people know how to pronounce it, and they let Kanye know:

Kanye also wants everyone to know that he has very important people he needs to speak with:

Now that people know how to properly pronounce zine, the universe should be in balance. It seems like no matter what Kanye says on Twitter, everyone has a good laugh about it. Stay tuned for updates on Kanye's conversation with Leonardo DiCaprio.
