An thoroughly satisfying story if you don't mind a little TL;DR
Scientists at the Boston Children's Hospital have invented microparticles that allow patients to live for 15 to 30 minutes without breathing, without risk of heart attack or brain damage. This technology will save millions and may be the greatest invention of our generation. Eventually people with complete respiratory failure will only have to worry about looking like a weirdo for not breathing, able to completely forget that they're defying death like a god.
The elixir carries 3 to 4 times as much oxygen as our own red blood cells.
Someday they'll sell this particle for recreational use: Divers will be able to go swimming without coming up for air in 30 minutes. Miners will be able to delve into mines without risk of black lung. Injections will regularly be included in first aid kits.
John Kheir, MD at the Department of Cardiology at Boston Children's Hospital said:
Some of the most convincing experiments were the early ones. We drew each other's blood, mixed it in a test tube with the microparticles, and watched blue blood turn immediately red, right before our eyes.
Nobody wants mass destruction of civilization to happen, but that doesn't mean nobody wants to see it.
You're death. You defeat "monstars." It's a pretty simple premise. And it's super fun because you can upgrade your character's weapons and abilities, which is a trick that makes everything more fun. I'm recommending this game to you because the trick worked on me too: I became a less productive person for a while after I discovered this little gem, and now I'm passing that blessing and curse to you.
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be a man, nothing has summed it up better than this:
Right after this gif, the man does not give birth... It's just another skill in the man's arsenal, which also includes "fixing stuff" and "breaking stuff during fit of rage."
You may have wondered what women really do in the girl's locker room when nobody else is around. But thanks to some brave, embedded photojournalists, we now know.

Dear Powerball Winner,
You just won $475 million. That's the 3rd largest lottery prize ever. The amount of money you are about to receive would make you the richest person in history until Rockefeller. You are now thoroughly seated in the 1%. So what are you going to do with the money? Here is a list of things you could buy with your $475 million:
791 sets of chess that are made of diamonds. This Chess set is made with 320 carats of black and white diamonds, and only 7 of them have ever been created. But maybe they'll make another 784 for you.

This video is a compilation of good deeds caught on Russian dash cams, which are popular because insurance fraud in the country is so rampant that drivers need the cams to help prove their innocence. But it's good to know that these cams catch people doing more than just pretending to be hit by cars for money.

Sony just released the newest ad for its Bravia W9 LED TV, and it's pretty great. It's hard to go wrong blowing up a bunch paint cans in slow motion while Gene Wilder sings 'Pure Imagination' from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.
This is just the latest installment in Sony's ongoing color-themed advertising campaign for their Bravia line of televisions. Their first ad in 2005 (after the break) featured 250,000 bouncy balls released down a hill in San Francisco set to Jose Gonzalez's cover of 'Heartbeats' by The Knife. It's by far my favorite commercial of all time.
