Mat Ames found some negatives in a thrift store in Roanoke, Virginia. After digitizing them, a lot of the photos seemed to belong to a couple's vacation in Naples, Italy, in 1938. Among all the scenic Italian vignettes there was a creepy surprise—a sinister figure sitting in a car under the sun. It was Adolf Hitler.
The full trailer for the Lego episode of The Simpsons—produced with the same 3D techniques as the Lego Movie but combined with 2D animation instead of 3D life action—is here. It looks interesting. I know I will watch it.
The Khaleesi Burger. As bloody and delicious as the Mother of Dragons and, surprise, vegetarian: "Smokey morsels of crisped shiitake "bacon," crown a regal beet gratin, smothered in Red Dragon cheese on top of a crunchy, berberre-rubbed kale patty, heirloom tomato, and slathering of sumac aioli."
Because, really, who among us hasn't come home from a grueling day at the office to find a magical miniature man made of aluminum foil sitting in the living room, watching classic films and listening to a bit of Bowie? What, seriously, just me?

Ben Sack creates some of the most intricate black and white drawings I've ever seen. His artwork is gigantic, crammed with stunning detail. Just phenomenal. This one is called A Single Note, a circular illustration that is 48 inches in diameter. And of course, there's a time-lapse showing him in action.
Rock climbing is hard. Even for bears. Just watch this cub try to follow his Mama Bear in scaling this mountain side. There are times you think he might fall, there are times he's going down the wrong path but he eventually figures it out. No ropes necessary.
We know the ocean is home to some of the weirdest looking monsters on the planet. It's a big place, after all. But did you know that a single drop of seawater is also home to alien-looking critters too? They're just invisible to us because they're microscopic. Once you get closer, all these creepy things start coming out!
Here's something you don't see everyday—or even every 15 years for that matter. These towering structures of ice and rock on the edge of Saturn's middle rings are an incredible and rarely-captured sight visible only during the planet's equinox.
