I was surprised to find that this is actually a real life photo of a Hawaiian volcano spewing lava into the sea, taken under extremely risky conditions. Obviously lava burns (excuse the pun), and…
I love Wongfu Productions. I love all their sketches, shorts, series, every Wongfu Weekend, every music video. Everything. (Okay probably not everything, but close enough). In fact, if the three guys from Wongfu – Wes Chan, Ted Fu and Phil Wang – morphed into one amalgamation of a human being, I would probably marry that person. I’m…

Over the past 150 years, humans have advanced technologically at an increasingly rapid pace – we’ve gone from horses to cars; cars to planes; and planes to spacecraft. Nowadays, people (at least in the developed world) drive cars more often than not; there are flights across the globe on a daily basis; there are even…
