That's like the undiscovered Millennial theme song.

EDIT: although on a more serious note, that song is horrendously sad.
 
As a fan of arcane nonsense, I love the New Yorker's stubborn adherence to the diaeresis.
...the two dots that we then center carefully over the second vowel in such words as “naïve” and “Laocoön” will be getting a workout this year, as the Democrats coöperate to reëlect the President..

Those two dots, often mistaken for an umlaut, are actually a diaeresis (pronounced “die heiresses”; it’s from the Greek for “divide”). The difference is that an umlaut is a German thing that alters the pronunciation of a vowel (Brünnhilde), and often changes the meaning of a word: schon (adv.), already; schön (adj.), beautiful. In the case of a diphthong, the umlaut goes over the first vowel. And it is crucial. A diaeresis goes over the second vowel and indicates that it forms a separate syllable. Most of the English-speaking world finds the diaeresis inessential. Even Fowler, of Fowler’s “Modern English Usage,” says that the diaeresis “is in English an obsolescent symbol.”

This is actually pretty fucking awesome. Ins and outs of a recording studio with Steve Albini.

Forward to 5 mins, or you'll have to listen to that annoying intro.

This is an almost five minute-long video of a doctor in Faizabad, India removing hundreds of maggots from a patient's ear. Jesus Christ.

Apparently, this is something that can happen to you if you live (or visit!) a tropical region. It's called aural myasis and it's when fly larvae infest your nose or ears. From Yahoo Canada:

Aural myasis is fairly common in tropical and subtropical regions, usually affecting children under the age of 10 or the elderly. The maggots feed off of the flesh in the patient's inner ear and could eventually burrow into the brain and kill the patient.

This video is of Dr. Vikram Yadav as he picked maggots from a patient's ear. The footage was apparently recorded and uploaded in May of this year, but like the bugs in this person's ear, incubated online for sometime before making itself known.

Have a great day.
 
That could be crossposted in strange and unusual, which already has a Miracle Mike reference.
Here's one that wimminz need to see, how to use make up to enhance breasts.

The start of the vid is her before donning the push-up bra.
Actually, I first ran across that channel for the porny face makeup, which shows her w/o makeup.
 
Have you ever wondered the effort that goes into crossing the Atlantic ocean in an airliner?
