Armies have always said that doing drill for you is good. But it's not. Apart from the whole tedious marching-around-and-stamping-like-petulant-children aspect of it, it can also cause big, butch soldiers to grow breasts. Yeah. Soldiers with boobies. Read More >>

"So it's not moobs they're growing, but 'moob' singular? So now we can tell a german soldier from his lopsided boobage?

We all know that those hallowed centres of learning, Oxford and Cambridge, have some serious history. But some of it's a bit grim -- specifically, this human human skeleton, found by builders creepily close to an Oxford college, right next to a spent bullet casing. Suspicious. Read More >>
Gentlemen of Gizmodo, do you know what the right size of condom for you is? No? Well, there's an app for that. An app that not only measures your little friend, but also gives him/it a world-wide ranking. Oh great. Read More >>

No, didn't think so...

You might think it's all fun and games being a motoring journalist, and you're probably right for the most part, what with driving awesome cars and all. But there's a serious side to it alright. When the crap hits the fan, things get very expensive indeed, as one poor journalist found out, slapped with a bankrupting £111,000 bill. Ouch. Read More >>

"AAAH" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" "OH MY GOD", screamed the easily-scared woman to the biplane. She was filming a practice run by Those Crazy Texans, a group of American bike riders/daredevils/all-round-crazy-people. Why exactly they needed a biplane and a wheelie-pulling quadbike to play chicken is anyone's guess, but I'm damn happy they did it. Now will someone please turn this into a ringtone for me?

It's taken many years and thousands of horrific TV ads, but I think we've finally got to a place where drink-driving has been well and truly demonised. Not so in Ireland -- they're actually going the other way, and want to make it ok to go for a spin after you've had "two or three drinks". Read More >>

Counterfeit goods that get found out often get destroyed. That should come as no surprise. But that doesn't mean it's easy to watch, especially if the fakes are this convincing. Take this Russian crush-fest, for example, where a bulldozer demolished 127 iPhones, found to be cheap imitations masquerading as the real thing. Read More >>
This is so incredible that I think I've seen this in a movie before.* And if I didn't, it should be put in a movie immediately. Genius bank robbers dug a 100 foot tunnel from a parking garage across the street to the bank's safe deposit room and walked away with over £11,000,000 in goods. Read More >>
You're working on the farm, you're planting corn, you're checking up on your Excel docs. How do you do it all? Easy, just pop a USB drive on the end of your trusty shovel. Genius multitasking. Read More >>
So this is properly strange -- an EasyJet flight from Liverpool to Geneva was stopped from taking off yesterday after they discovered the aircraft was 300kg over the weight limit, and EasyJet had failed to boot people off. The pasengers' solution? Have a whip-round to bribe the fatties into leaving. Read More >>

Some days, the weather just chooses to screw with your mind. Today is one of those days. As well as the blizzards that (hopefully) have you stuck at home with your feet up, the UK's also experienced an earthquake big enough to knock stuff off shelves. Read More >>
Imagine yourself sleeping at 3:00 AM on a Friday night. You probably wanted a little peace and quiet before tomorrow's picnic at the park. You're deep in a dream about running barefoot on the beach when SMAAASSSSSHHHH GUNKDAGUNK BOOOM. A drunk man drives a freaking tank inside your house and destroys it. Read More >>
Brazillian site NamoroFake takes all the hassle out of finding yourself a woman to share long evenings of stony silence in front of the TV with, creating you a rather cute fake girlfriend account, complete with Facebook status updates and a decent, believable history, for a rather competitive price.

This practical joke could have turned into tragedy: watch as some "friends" throw a guy out of a boat after seeing a great white shark in the distance. As they approach the shark, the animal turns around and goes straight to get him, just a fraction of a second before he gets back into the boat. Read More >>
