After a Utah high school football team lost a game in October, about a dozen fans of Polynesian descent bent their knees, folded their arms and started a grunt-like chant. They were performing a traditional Maori war dance that New Zealand rugby fans…To two police officers, however, the opening of the haka dance looked like the start of a riot. They used batons and pepper spray to break...

anybody-out-there asked: yo man I couldn't find that article you mentioned about running without heel striking. Hook me up with a link. My quick opinion of forefoot running is this: FUCK THAT SHIT. I tried it a year ago. This is why I am still trying to sort my shins out so I can run again.

Last night I dreamed I was trapped in a vast, museum sized art installation about Lou Reed and Metallica’s Lulu. But I’ve never heard Lulu, so this was created from my subconscious understanding of what Lulu is like, based on reading reviews. Let that sink in for a moment, and then imagine what kind of night I’ve just had. Also, I should add that I wasn’t going to be allowed out until...
How a four-stroke engine works →
Another interesting thing: The same, but of a four-stroke engine, much like the ones found in most cars today. This works better with two and four-piston engines as there is additional power being injected by other firing cylinders to keep the whole machine running during the non-power-producing strokes.
How a two-stroke engine works →
Interesting thing of the day: A speed-variable animation of the function of a two-stroke engine. The important parts are the simplicity, and the way that the exhaust and intake happen both at the same time. This is obviously good for single-piston and engines as there’s less dependence on a flywheel to keep things spinning for the next ignition stroke.

Dog Shoots Man of the Day: A man in Utah got a butt full of birdshot after his dog accidentally stepped on his shotgun.
46-year-old Robert Cottingham was duck hunting with his son near a bird refuge at the north end of the Great Salt Lake, when his yellow lab Piper jumped on the boat and onto a loaded 12-gauge shotgun Cottingham has left resting on the bow.
Luckily, a duck decoy...
