This is a portrait of Benjamin Kyle. He's a man who doesn't know anything about himself. Literally. He was unconscious when he was discovered behind a fast food restaurant in Georgia and had no belongings, severe sunburns, was nearly blind, and had no idea who he was. Benjamin Kyle, which isn't even his real name, suffers from dissociative amnesia which means he forgot his entire former life. He doesn't really exist, even though he's alive in real life.

Do people really not know what texting is? Read More >>

Though Apple won a fresh billion dollars in the US patent infringement case that saw Samsung basically lose everything, Apple won't be able to kill Samsung products dead.

Human beings, I love ya, but man are we disgusting. This video by Aaron Rogers lists and animates all the scientific grossness of being a human and it gets pretty gnarly.
