It seems like real-deal ramen has become a thing, which is cool. Ramen is great.

Some Soccer Fans In Spain Rushed The Pitch And Stabbed A Player In The Heart

Deadcast: The 2015 Hater’s Guide To The Top 25

Here Are The Top 10 Goals From The Champions League This Season
The order of this list—which you’ll have to click through to view on Youtube because UEFA is a dick—is more than a little questionable (Messi turning Boateng into a 6’ 4” domino isn’t number one?), and how Andrés Iniesta’s length-of-the-pitch jaunt didn’t even make the list almost invalidates the wh...

Uhh, Otto?
There is playing poor defense, entirely blowing a play on defense, and not even trying to play defense ... and then there is whatever the hell Otto Porter was doing here. Porter didn't just let Tony Snell sneak backdoor on him; he let Tony Snell leisurely jog 30 feet backdoor on him before he rememb...
Nightmare Octopus Jumps Out Of Water, Chases Crab On Land, Bodies It
This here video of an octopus exploding out of the shallows, moonwalking on land, grabbing a crab, and pulling it back underwater was shot in Australia just days ago, which means that there's a good chance this very octopus and others like it are still alive, which means that you and I and all of ou...
