High schoolers celebrate ‘Meme Day’ with memes new and old

Got to give credit where it’s due: the kids these days are committed not just to the hip new memes, but also to the memes of yesteryear.

Take these kids from California who celebrated “Meme Day” at their school, with a wide-range of memes from the recent hit Salt Bae all the way back to some old school memes like Slender Man.

In the above video, posted by Nicole Pinto, we roll through (I think):

Zoe Saldana reveals how long it takes to put on her ‘Guardian of the Galaxy’ face

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 is already doing well internationally, but while U.S. fans are still waiting for the film’s release, one of its stars, Zoe Saldana, decided to give everyone a behind-the-scenes peek.

On Saturday, Saldana posted a timelapse video on Twitter that shows exactly how much work it takes to become Gamora, her green-skinned character in the film.

Instead of a simple slathering on green makeup, it turns out that her transformation takes just over three hours of intense detail work from two makeup artists. Read more…

You would eat this pizza and you know it

We’ve all had days like this.

I mean, I can’t say with 100 percent certainty that this hasn’t happened to me.

The tweet is from BBC reporter James Longman, who witnessed this tragic tableau on the train at 8 a.m. As some people noted, this would look absolutely beautiful hanging in a museum somewhere.

I would love nothing more than to see a 16th c. Dutch Masters-style oil painting of this: https://t.co/Ej5RCxW53l

‘Fixer Upper’ star takes to Twitter to address lawsuit

Chip Gaines, the charmingly goofy half of the husband-wife duo that have made Fixer Upper a huge success for HGTV, took to Twitter to address fraud charges levied at him by a couple of former partners.

Last week, John L. Lewis and Richard L. Clark filed a lawsuit against Gaines and his wife, Joanna, for allegedly buying them out of their shares in Magnolia Realty without telling them about plans for launching the television show.

According to the lawsuit, the pair alleges that Gaines bought out their share of the company on May 6, 2013 and then announced the show two days later on May, 8, 2013. Read more…

That’s an apology, sort of. I mean, maybe don’t promote some totally random thing that you’ve never experienced or barely know about next time.

Leeches are making a slimy comeback in modern medicine

Medical bills are often littered with bizarre line items. If you’re in Russia, those little charges might include half a dozen slimy, slithering leeches.

About 10 million of the blood-sucking invertebrates are prescribed in Russia every year, offering many people an affordable alternative for blood-thinning medicines, the New York Times reported this weekend.

As Russia’s economy tanks — due to a mix of low oil prices, sanctions, and military spending — the country’s state-run medical system has also suffered. Medicinal leeches cost less than one U.S. dollar per icky blob, and doctors say leeches’ venom is a low-cost preventative treatment for stroke and heart disease. Read more…
