The great syrup heist. I'm going to be honest. I'm a little sad I wasn't involved. Because it sure sounds sweet!
The 2012 National Geographic Photo contest winners!
The closest you're probably ever going to get to Chernobyl. Not sure why the photographer had to HDR all his images though. Seems like a cheap, subliminal stunt to suggest the radiation of the place. Or, there wasn't enough light. Though I'd assume he would bring a good lens when photographing an abandoned hospital in a radioactive zone.
New York could have been so much cooler.
Cool stunt reel of a stunt man:

A list of what some actors did to get into character. Though I think what's crazier is that Tom Cruise felt the need to put so much work into Collateral.
Want to see just how busy the skies are? Check this out.
Sodium. The silent killer. Or I guess one of the silent killers at this point. Listen, if you don't know that eating fast food regularly is bad, then I don't know what to tell you.
I can't definitively say these are the best spoof movies ever, but the list does include Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
This is the way life should be lived. Not giving a fuck:
Oh that silly Craigslist. Craziest posts from 2012.

Yesterday we anticipated a movies coming out in 2013. Here's another list that is specific for sic-fi/fantasy movies coming out in 2013.
Profile of Snoop Lion, the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg. Because, of course.
Even if you don't like sports, you'll appreciate these 100 awesome sports photos.
I don't know how "shocking" this list about food is (it seems to consider itself that to drive readers into a rage) but it's interesting to read some stuff and nod along in agreement.
An interesting (and long) account of a German family who visited Death Valley, and never came out.

If you ever thought about becoming a pickpocket, this article is probably a good place to start.
It's time to admit to myself that I'm probably not going to get to Myanmar (Burma) anytime soon. So this video taken from a hot air balloon will have to do.
An interesting article on beer - not craft beers, but the big boys, and how stock market expectations are most likely changing flavors.
An oral history of the making of Deathrow Records.
Some movies to look forward to in 2013.

Taking you into your New Year...
The greatest shots in tournament ping pong from the past year. One quick comment - when are they going to get some hi-def camera to cover this?
Do you like parkour? This might be interesting to you:
I don't put too much stock in Best of lists, but one of my exceptions is for Roger Ebert. Here's his best of 2012.
A magnificent, frightening story With a really cool interface for the reader) about a particular avalanche.
I obviously missed this story (and the event) when it popped up around Halloween in New York. That doesn't mean it's not a great read though.
One of my New Year's resolutions is to watch more giraffe fights. So far, so good!
