Speaking of terrible taxidermy and fossil reconstruction, this is the Magdeburg Unicorn, quite possibly the worst fossil reconstruction ever: It was probably done by Otto von Guericke, who thought he had found the remains of a unicorn. Turns out he'd just mixed and matched the bones of a rhinoceros, a mammoth, and a narwhal. This is Steven Spielberg on top of Bruce, the animatronic shark that, well, played Jaws in Jaws: And now I'm realizing why the shark in Finding Nemo was named what it was.

This is what the first class menu looked like on the Titanic the day the ship sunk: No chicken tenders? No thanks. And this is what the Second Class menu looked like that same day: Some similarities to the first class menu, but overall very, very different. And, for good measure, this is what the third class menu looked like that day so many of them tragically died: Literally getting served "GRUEL." This is what the World Trade Center looked like at the very beginning of its construction: Construction began in 1966 and was finished in 1971. This is what a fusion reactor looks like compared to a person: This particular reactor is located in China and set a record "160 million degrees celsius for 20 seconds." This is Igor Sikorsky, inventor of the world's first "practical" helicopter, getting ready to take off in his contraption: This was in 1939. And here he is in the air: My guy Igor CHILLIN' up there. Some playgrounds have special "wheelchair only" swings: Love it! This is Norwegian speed skater Oscar Mathisen pictured with his many, many, many, many awards and honors throughout the early 1900s: He set numerous world records, some even apparently lasting until the 21st century.

This is 17-year-old Bryn Owen and his, frankly, ludicrous amount of mirrors on his Vespa: Every single source I've seen containing this picture points out that he used his own "pocket money." Now you know. Here's a scene from the 1924 Olympics gold medal hockey game between the USA and Canada: Canada won 6-1. This is what Meryal Waterpark, home of the world's tallest waterslide, looking like while it was under construction in Qatar: I can feel the wedgies just looking at this picture. This is what Earth looks like from 3.7 billion miles away: To paraphrase the big man Carl Sagan, everyone and everything you have ever known exists on that little speck. This is what the grave of HR Giger, creator of the design of the alien from Alien, looks like: Commitment to the very end. Speaking of which, the new Pope Leo went to a World Series game in 2005 and was caught on TV: Slacking off there, Leo. Should've been Pope-ing. This is what caffeine looks like under a microscope: Looks about right. This is Henry Behrens, at one time the world's smallest man, doing a little tango with a cat: He stood 30 inches tall, and, we can safely assume, was one heck of a dancer. This is planet J1407b, a, I quote, "Super-saturn" with "over 30 rings, each stretching over tens of millions of kilometers in diameter:" It's hundreds of times bigger than the Saturn we all know and love. This is what the remains of a World War I trench looks like today: These trenches date back to the Battle of the Somme and are located in Newfoundland Memorial Park near Albert, France. This picture, from the early 1900s, shows an early basketball game, kneepads and all: Josh Hart would make that man CRY. Here's another photo of a vintage basketball player, standing in front of a piano and striking fear into the hearts of his opponents: I think Jalen Brunson could put up 176 on this dude. This is what Stephen Hawking's grave looks like: It reads "Here lies what was mortal of Stephen Hawking." This isn't a fake picture of your worst "driving nightmare." It's the Hisashimichi Interchange, located near Tokyo, perhaps one of the most complicated roads in the world: I'll walk, thanks. This is what the nerve inside a tooth looks like: (Cartoon cat slamming his finger inside a door voice) YEEEEE-OUCH! This is what the knots on the outside of a tree look like on the inside: Neat! Cough medicine used to be very, very, very strong: Add some melatonin to that baby and you might never wake up. Finally, there's a copperhead snake in this picture. Can you find it? Well, can you?

Millions expected to call in sick for GTA 6 release day
Source: Rockstar Games The debut of Grand Theft Auto VI is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited entertainment launches of the decade and it might come with an unexpected side effect: the 'GTA flu.' A recent study shows that nationwide search interest in the game has reached record levels, suggesting that millions of U.S. workers may take the day off, whether through approved leave or by calling in sick, once the game drops. Study issues warning of GTA 6 launch-related mass absences A recent report from fan site GTA Boom, extensively covered by TweakTown and GamingBible, suggests that GTA 6 release might lead to a tide of coincidentally scheduled sick leave. The data suggests that Florida, California, and Texas are among the states leading the chart in anticipation level, with Florida beating the national average by 31%. Matt Gibbs, head of GTA Boom, observed, Considering the trend in huge sick day spikes upon release of high-profile titles, such as Red Dead Redemption II, it would come as no surprise to hear of an outbreak of 'GTA flu' when the game comes out. He also cautioned employers in areas of high interest to prepare for an evident spike in time-off requests near the release date. Historical trends indicate the phenomenon is genuine This would not be the first time a Rockstar game inspired an unofficial holiday. When Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013, a survey by IGN found that 46% of the 10,995 people who participated took the day off. Of those people, almost 2,100 said they were pretending to be sick in order to take the day off. GTA Boom research draws on this cultural phenomenon and uses Google search traffic and social activity to measure the levels of excitement and make predictions about behavior. The concept of "gaming sick days" has become more prevalent, particularly for one-in-a-generation games such as GTA 6 that create huge worldwide buzz. Although Rockstar Games has not yet made an official announcement regarding a release date, it's obvious that GTA 6 is already making waves. If past experience is anything to go by, and all indications are that it may be, employers can expect a dead day at the office. The virtual Vice City streets may end up being busier than the physical world when the launch date finally rolls around.

7 annoying features in GTA 5 that shouldn't return in GTA 6
(Image via Rockstar Games) Grand Theft Auto V was a masterpiece. But even the best games come with a few frustrating quirks that leave you muttering, 'Why is this still a thing?' With GTA 6 now on the horizon, it's the perfect time to reflect on those annoying features in GTA 5 that need to be left behind. Forever. Here's our hit list of 7 things GTA 6 needs to ditch. 1. Clunky Combat Cover System Taking cover in GTA 5 often felt like wrestling with your own thumbs. One moment you're crouched behind a car, the next you're accidentally popping out and taking a headshot. The auto-cover mechanics lacked fluidity, making shootouts more frustrating than fun. GTA 6, give us a smoother, smarter cover system — we're tired of dying because the wall didn't 'register.' GTA 5's Police Are BROKEN - Let Me Ruin Them For You (Facts and Glitches) 2. Broken Police AI Three stars, and suddenly the cops have psychic abilities. They know exactly where you are, even if you slip into an alleyway or change cars. And don't get us started on their magical aim while you're driving 100 mph. GTA 6 needs smarter, not omniscient, law enforcement. 3. Overly Long Phone Calls & Cutscenes Yes, Trevor's rants were gold. But not every call needs to be two minutes long while you're mid-heist prep. And some cutscenes dragged on like mini-movies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning For Working Professionals. BITS Pilani WILP Apply Now Undo In GTA 6, give us the option to skip or fast-forward — we'll thank you later. 4. Tiresome Random Events Getting dragged into yet another pedestrian's sob story or 'hitchhiker from hell' side event felt cool the first few times, then it got old. In GTA 6, keep random events actually random and meaningful, not repetitive filler. 5. Lack of Checkpoints in Missions There's nothing worse than failing a mission right at the end and getting thrown back to the very beginning. Some of GTA 5's missions desperately needed mid-mission checkpoints. GTA 6 should be smarter with save points — we're not in 2013 anymore. Why Were There So Few Enterable Interiors In GTA Online? 6. Limited Interiors Despite its huge map, most buildings in GTA 5 were off-limits. Only a handful of stores, homes, or businesses could be entered. In a living, breathing city, locked doors kill immersion. GTA 6 should open up the world more with explorable interiors that offer gameplay, secrets, or story elements. 7. Dated NPC Reactions Pedestrian and driver AI in GTA 5 often react in jarring or unrealistic ways—either ignoring chaos or overreacting completely. For a game this detailed, NPCs should feel smarter and more responsive. GTA 6 has the chance to make its world feel truly alive with better AI. GTA 5 set the bar high, but GTA 6 has the opportunity to fix what didn't work. Drop these seven annoyances, and Rockstar could deliver their most legendary game yet. Let's just hope we're not still dodging psychic cops in 4K. Get IPL 2025 match schedules , squads , points table , and live scores for CSK , MI , RCB , KKR , SRH , LSG , DC , GT , PBKS , and RR .

Take Two shares slide after announcing $1 billion stock offering
-- Shares of Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) fell in premarket trading Wednesday after the company announced a $1 billion common stock offering. The stock fell almost 4% in the pre-open trade. Take-Two shares are up nearly 30% since the start of the year. Take-Two plans to use the proceeds for general corporate needs, which may include paying down debt and funding potential acquisitions. The company will sell all shares in the offering and has granted underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $150 million worth of stock. The offering is expected to close on May 22. The news comes weeks after Rockstar Games, a key Take-Two subsidiary, pushed back the release of Grand Theft Auto VI from fall 2025 to May 2026. The delay extends the already lengthy wait for what is widely considered the most anticipated title in gaming. GTA VI is a major part of Take-Two's future growth narrative, with high expectations already factored into analyst models. The previous installment, Grand Theft Auto V, launched in 2013 and has since sold more than 200 million copies, cementing its place among the top-selling games of all time. Last week, Take-Two Interactive projected fiscal 2026 bookings below revised analyst expectations, suggesting that even a packed release schedule may not fully offset the impact of the delayed launch of GTA VI. The company reported a $3.5 billion impairment charge in the fourth quarter tied to 'updating long-term expectations,' executives said during the earnings call. Still, they outlined plans to release 25 titles over fiscal 2027 and 2028, including the next GTA installment. While games like 'Borderlands 4' and 'Mafia: The Old Country' are set to launch this year, their success may not be enough to counterbalance the effect of pushing GTA VI out of the fiscal 2026 window.
