Times are tough for everyone, even superheros. Apparently, even superheros are looking to pick up a little extra cash whenever they can. Is this a top-secret, leaked audition tape?
You would expect a man with super-reflexes to be a pretty good dancer. And, as a side note, who doesn’t love the jazzed up Spiderman theme?

Alright, the video is kind of long, and the audio in French, so I’m just going to sum this one up for you.
This man is about to use his leg as bait to catch a giant snake.
That’s right: in order to catch a ridiculously huge python, this man puts his leg into the snake’s home, lets the snake eat him to mid-thigh or so, and then gets his friends to pull him out of the hole, bringing the snake out with him.
I repeat, THIS MAN IS ABOUT TO USE HIS LEG AS A SNAKE FISHING POLE.
Think about that next time you complain about your job. Unless you’re catching pythons in Cameroon, you’ve got no leg to stand on. (Get it? Because HE isn’t going to have a leg to stand on either…ah nevermind)
Side note, it is especially awful that the snake was still moving that long after they cut off it’s head. I’m just sayin’.
Alright all you font nerds out there, this game is for you. What do you do in the game? You practice your kerning.
Wikipedia defines kerning as ” the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result.”
In other words, act like a typesetter and properly adjust the spacing of each letter in a word. The closer your letters are to the correct spacing, the higher your score. That sounds kind of dumb, doesn’t it? But it’s surprisingly interesting.
I got an 83, but I choked on the last one (an 8!?!), so I think that threw my average off a little bit. How did you do? Leave your score in the comments.

Alright, nature, I think you’ve reached a new low.
Here we have a virus which infects caterpillars, and turns them into zombies. The virus forces them to climb up in the tree and grab on, where they slowly liquefy, raining down virus-infected body-goop to affect other caterpillars and begin the circle of caterpillar zombie life anew.
This particular virus only affects gypsy moths…as if they weren’t bad enough to begin with. However, as awful as the gypsy moth menace is, I can’t condone turning things into zombies. That’s just bound to go wrong. As long as we live in a world where a zombie-producing virus lives, there’s always a chance that virus mutates into something that can affect humans.
This kind of reminds me of the zombie ants. That’s right, we now know about a kind of zombie created by a fungus, and another created by a virus. And you people scoff at my zombie preparations! Who’s laughing now?
