Video: Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You: How soon can we get some sort of award to Tom Hanks for this? Or alternatively, can we have him star in the videos of and/or lip-sync every major pop hit from now on? The man is a treasure, somehow enhancing the already amazing amazingness of “I Really Like You” and even making an appearance from Justin Bieber not ruin everything.

It never occurred to me to browse through the credits of Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien, to find out who was underneath the monstrous black mask.
The man was Bolaji Badejo, a 7ft tall Nigerian design student picked up from a bar in West London to fill the title role. He worked on the film for 4 months, spending every day wrapped in a suffocating custom fitted rubber suit, working to exude a presence of pure evil.
Despite his incredible contribution to the film’s success Badejo never received any publicity for his involvement. Ultimately, it would be his only film role.

And this, kids, is how baby penguins are made! You’ll note the lack of visible penguin “parts". Like most birds, penguins only have a cloaca, which is a sort of “everything hole". Mating is accomplished sort of like lining up two keyholes, if those keyholes were covered in oily feathers. (at California Academy of Sciences)
