Cabin Porn

Inside edition

Love the stove. Lose the globe.

The tribe

Gotta be at least one of those that runs.

Whoa! Looks just like one of those underwater videos of a wave going to shore.

A U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress leads a flight of four Swedish JAS-39 Gripens June 11, 2015, during a Baltic Operations 2015 mission over the Baltic Sea. The aircraft took part in multiple missions throughout the exercise, including Mk-62 Quickstrike mine drops and naval support functions. During this part of the exercise, the two airframes practiced aircraft intercepts and formation flights to hone skills between pilots from different countries. (Swedish Armed Forces courtesy photo)

Drunk Canadian rides wild moose like a horse, and lives to tell about it.

In the beginning...

Aurora seen in San Jose, California

Taken by Pierre St. Hilaire on June 23, 2015 at San Jose, California. The red curtains were

faintly visible with the unaided eye. Activity peaked around 5.00 UTC. The photos

were taken 6 miles away from San Jose on the way to Mount Hamilton. Hey, if this

guy can see this in San Jose, I ought to be able to see it here. I'm staying up on

the 24th.

A series of CMEs hit Earth's magnetic field on June 22nd, producing a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm. Northern Lights spilled across the Canadian border into more than 20 US states.

Meanwhile, more is on the way: big sunspot AR2371 erupted again on June 22nd (18:23 UT), producing a strong M6.5 class solar flare. The explosion also hurled a full-halo CME directly toward Earth: movie. NOAA analysts are still modeling the storm cloud to estimate its likely time of arrival. Best guess: June 24th. Sky watchers should prepare for more geomagnetic stoms and auroras on Wednesday night.

That's gonna leave a mark

A 60mm mortar round mark. Good thing it didn't go "boom!"

The re entry footage of these Minutemen at Kwajalein is spine tingling.

Plus, the dated style of the video is amusing.

Plus, you gotta love the team's beer drinking inducement to accuracy.

I don't bother to watch CNN, so I'm not familiar with this Don Lemon, but whoever he is, he ought to be more aware of photoshop and the creativity of the web.

Apparently this Don Lemon offered this up as a sort of attention whoring, scandalous question for his middle class viewers. Too bad he didn't stop and think how easy it would be to photoshop.
