Top 5 Superminis (Malaysia)

We all want a LaFerrari or McLaren P1 in our garages but due to limited production numbers and even more limited funds, 99 per cent of us will never be able to afford one. Away from unrestricted autobahns and the racetrack though, real world performance is all about being able to deploy what you have in any given situation. So for real world car fans, we present the top-5 superminis you can buy.

Several time ago, Made Man posted a little story called 5 Beers No Man Should Drink After 25. Once it had been shared on Facebook over 18,000 times, we figured it was high time we applied the same reasoning to mixed drinks. And having tended bar at all manner of establishments, and taken all manner of embarrassing orders, I feel highly qualified to opine on this subject. Still in college? Keep downing the drivel. Waving goodbye to bro on your way to man? Time to take these kiddie cups off the menu.

Why is it sometimes we love a car just because of the hood? Is it the manly power bulge? An air-sucking scoop? The seamless skin? All the above. Hell, sometimes it's just for the curves. Here's your ten sexiest hoods.

7 Tiny Yet Terrifying Animals

by Nicholas Pell

When you go into the wild, you do your best to steer clear of mountain lions and bears. But how do you prepare for legions of pint-sized creepers far more likely to put you in a world of hurt? Get ready for a trip into the darkest recesses of the animal kingdom, where what doesn’t kill you makes you wish that it had.

Cemeteries are scary places. People more often think of the living dead who wander around graveyards and scare the living; some would think of zombies and vampires which are mythical creatures that dwell at the cemetery. Many would never think about going to one of these places at the night time. Maybe you’ll think differently about these cemeteries.

5 Superhero Movies That Never Happened

By Veggie

There are three things in life that can send my nerd rage-meter from zero to max in an instant. Pushing back the release date of games, LAG, and announcing movies that never come out. All of the following (believe it or not) are actual comic book movie adaptations that were announced and never found their way to the silver screen. Whether it was for better or worse I'll let you decide.

Sequels of box office hits that are coming out in 2015. Will they be successful?

Hole-y Cow! These cows have been given a fistula, a hole directly into the stomach that scientists can reach into and study to see how certain foods get digested. Through this kind of work, better food can be concocted and studies into stomach cancer and other problems can be conducted. Although it looks inhumane, the cows don’t seem to mind. Animals can live a surprising amount of time with a permanent hole to their stomach, especially if it is a surgically made fistula. Nowadays, agricultural scientists learn about the digestive system of cattle by putting holes in cows – and the cows stay alive and well. These cows (fitted with a sealing cover called a “cannula”) each have a hole into their stomach. Through this hole one can extract food caught mid-stream through the digestive system. Take a look at this bizarre thing.

Why Didn’t I Think Of That? 40 Clever Product Ideas

By Igor Ovsyannykov

Let’s be honest, when you see a creative product you tend to mentally kick yourself for not coming up with the idea first. This is definitely true among designers. When you see a beautiful design, you smile and say: “Wow, this is incredible. Why didn’t I think of doing that?” We all get a little jealous inside when we see a great idea. The wrong thing to do is get mad at the people whom came up with that idea. In my life, I’ve experience this first hand. I had a friend that was jealous of someone for what they had and how successful they were. Instead of wishing them more luck and being happy for them, they constantly complained and talked about that person’s flaws. “I could do better than that.” “His idea is not that great.” Why didn’t he do this?” If I was him I would have done…” That kind of attitude is so ugly. It irritates me to even talk about it. Saying “I could have done that,” isn’t doing anything. Talk is cheap. Always let your actions do the talking rather than blabbing about how smart you are and your creative ideas. When you see somebody successful, smile and be happy for them. Hating somebody for their accomplishments is simply gross.

Dog Walker Finds Smelly Lump Of Whale Vomit On Beach That's Worth £100,000

By Paul Byrne

31 January 2013

A dog walker who spotted a smelly yellow rock on a beach says discovering it as whale vomit was like finding a “bag of cash”. Ken Wilman said his boxer dog Madge found the 6lb lump, which could be worth £100,000, in Morecambe, Lancashire. Ken only realised its potential value after an online search revealed the substance was ambergris, an ingredient used in the manufacture of perfume. A French dealer has offered £43,000 but experts say the lump of hardened intestinal slurry from a sperm whale could be worth twice as much.

What Is Ambergris?

Johnna Rizzo

National Geographic News

Published August 30, 2012

Sperm whales eject an intestinal slurry called ambergris into the ocean, where the substance hardens as it bobs along. Eventually it gets collected along shores - most often as sheer happenstance, as in the case of eight-year-old Charlie Naysmith in the U.K. a few days ago. Walking along the beach in Dorsetwith his dad, the boy found what looked to be a very odd rock. He and his dad used Google to help identify it as ambergris. Weighing more than a pound, it is said to be worth up to U.S. $63,000.

Ever look at a license plate and think, "Yes, my thoughts exactly,"? Us, too.

While you can't deny the charm of a vanity plate that catches you completely off guard with something accidentally inappropriate, it's nice to occasionally come across one that simply gets it right (intentionally or not).

10 Most Disturbing ‘Pokémon’

By andrew_dyce

'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'; a sentiment that no video game franchise embodies as succinctly as Pokemon. That shouldn't be taken as an insult, since even the people developing the series maintain that like any lasting sport or game, Pokemon doesn't need to change to stay relevant. Instead, the developers at Game Freak simply iterate upon each element of gameplay, introduce new creatures for players to collect, and let marketing take care of the rest. As the franchise closes in on twenty years - and prepares to add yet another Nintendo console to its resume - we thought we'd look back; not on the games or creatures that we most treasure, but the ones that keep us up at night.
Here are the 10 Most Disturbing Pokemon Facts.
