Guy Sits In Sun to Defend Parking Spot


A guy sits in the hot sun to battle an unfair person trying to save a parking spot.

Cars have been around for over a hundred years. You'd think we would have figured out parking etiquette by now, but evidently we have not. Seriously, there's stories of people leaving fake notes to get back at selfish parkers, and other stories of people wasting someone's time for parking illegally. It seems like when it comes to parking, half of us think there's a code while for the rest it's just the law of the jungle.

Bungee Jumping Bagpiper Is Extreme Example of Doppler Effect


If a source of noise is traveling away from you rapidly, the sound waves emitted will be further apart, causing the pitch to sound lower from your perspective. Then when it travels toward you, the sound waves will be bunched closer together and that same sound will be heard at a higher pitch. Also, if the source of that noise is bagpipes, that same noise source will also likely be wearing a kilt.

Mind-Bending Images That Aren't Photoshopped (75 Images)


Confusing and amazing images that are not photoshopped.

Perspective is a weird beast, and can be used to make mind bending images. Seriously, weird perspective can throttle your mind.

Total BS Reasons Teachers Gave People A Worse Grade


Frustrating stories of times teachers gave bad grades for stupid reasons.

School is one of the first times in life that you realize you're in a vast system that you have little control over. When it comes to grading, some people play things by the book, don't even resort to incredibly creative cheating, and still get points taken off for a total BS reason. Most teachers are sensible people who have their students best interest in mind, but there are others who just want to see the future burn. Teachers can be incredibly weird like that.

At one desperate point she asks if she'd charge Kim Kardashian for a haircut, in exchange for exposure? Um, not the same thing. At all. Keep working on those 10K followers.
