With its adorable bouille it represents the perfect subject for portraits full of tenderness but also of humor.

  6. LineageOS 14.1 now supports the Galaxy S7/S7 edge, Galaxy Note 8 tablet, and more LineageOS, the successor to the ill-fated CyanogenMod project, has already achieved hundreds of thousands of active installs. Many former CM developers have moved to the new project, and just like CyanogenMod, LineageOS is rapidly expanding to more devices. Several new devices are now supported by Lineage OS 14.1, including the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Galaxy Note 8 tablet, and more. Firstly, LineageOS now officially supports the Exynos-based S7 (SM-G930F herolte) and S7 edge (SM-G935F hero2lte). The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Wi-Fi (gts210wifi) and LTE (gts210ltexx) models have made the jump from CM 13 to Lineage OS 14.1. Several models of the Galaxy Note 8 tablet have also been updated to 14.1, including the GSM (n5100), Wi-Fi (n5110), and LTE (n5120) versions. The Galaxy S III GSM LTE (i9305) has also been bumped to 14.1. In addition to the above Samsung devices, there are a few other phones with new LineageOS builds. The LeEco Le Pro3 (zl1) and LeMax2 (x2) are now officially supported with weekly 13.0 builds, so you don't have to use the awful stock ROMs. Finally, three variants of the LG G3 are being updated to 14.1 - the AT&T (d850), Korean (f400), and Verizon (vs985) models.

    Rodeo above the Clouds

    Rodeo above the Clouds This might quite simply be the oddest skydive youll ever see – as a pair of daredevils simulate a rodeo ride as they hurtle towards earth. In the bizarre pictures, skydiver Robyn Young managed to straddle co-jumper Oliver Miller, as they plummet through the sky – and amazingly, pal Jeff Donohue caught it all on camera. The pair managed to perform the stunt before going their separate ways and pulling their parachute cords during the skydive over recibo, Puerto Rico, last month. Here: Robyn Young surfs on the back of Oliver Miller as they descend upon Arecibo, Puerto Rico. (Photo by Jeff Donohue/Caters News)
  11. Abandoned Cement Mixer Space Capsule. Image: Pat Clancy If you find yourself driving down the quiet rural lane that connects the small towns of Talala and Winganon, in Oklahoma, keep an eye out for what appears to be an abandoned NASA space capsule lying by the side of the road. Adorned with the American flag and the agency’s logo, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the reentry vehicle had just fallen from space. It even dates back to the height of the Space Race. In reality, however, the discarded space capsule is nothing more than a cement mixer, albeit one that’s become an offbeat local tourist attraction and art installation. In or around 1959 (a year after America’s Project Mercury got underway, though completely unrelated), a cement truck bound for the Oologah Lake bridge, which was then under construction, rolled over here, depositing its heavy mixer by the side of the road. According to the story, the truck was later salvaged, but the cement mixer was abandoned where it lay. Over the years, the mixer has become an unofficial canvas for local artists to showcase their skills. In September 2011, artists Barry and Heather Thomas decided to turn it into a NASA reentry capsule in celebration of their fifth wedding anniversary – and the landmark as we know it today was born. According to Amusing Planet: “The couple attached canning lids, garden hose, broken reflectors and other household items to the mixer to make the transformation look as real as possible. Before the latest incarnation the mixer was painted in a patriotic stars-and-stripes motif.” In the years since, the abandoned cement mixer turned highway art has become a roadside landmark in Oklahoma. Passers-by stop to have their photos taken with the replica NASA reentry capsule, which has cropped up all over the internet and made it onto the front page of Reddit. It even has its own Facebook page. So if you’re driving along the stretch of road between Talala and Winganon in the near future, keep your eyes peeled and let us know if the NASA paint scheme is still intact.
  12. Helicopter Graveyard at Buriakivka, Ukraine These wrecked Mil Mi-24 Hind gunships are understood to have been used in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster to measure the level of radiation in the air around the nuclear power station. The Soviet-era choppers were reportedly flown over the crippled reactor multiple times, and were deemed too contaminated to recover once their mission was completed. The abandoned helicopters were photographed in 2011, their broken fuselages dumped near deep trenches containing buried equipment from the ghost town of Pripyat. Several miles to the west of Chernobyl lies the rusting remains of the rescue and subsequent clean-up operation. Contaminated from top to bottom, the abandoned vehicles comprise a toxic graveyard that will linger for many years to come. Rotting away in a field deep within the exclusion zone, rows of abandoned vehicles entomb the ten battered helicopters that were used to drop water on the burning reactor. Sadly, their operators were among the worst affected of the victims, with their role on the scene as primary emergency reponders guaranteeing them heavy exposure to the fallout. If you are a Google Earth user, check out the vehicle graveyard at these coordinates: 51°09’16.16″N 29°58’57.41″E Update The vehicles have been removed, dismantled and buried in protected areas, however you can still see the radioactive shadows left by them on Google maps, if you look at the field, you can see the blurry glow of the radioactivity.

  14. A man gets on a bus A man gets on a bus, and ends up sitting next to a very attractive nun. Enamored with her, he asks if he can have sex with her. Naturally, she says no, and gets off the bus. The man goes to the bus driver and asks him if he knows of a way for him to have sex with the nun. "Well," says the bus driver, "every night at 8 o'clock, she goes to the cemetery to pray. If you dress up as God, I'm sure you could convince her to have sex with you." The man decides to try it, and dresses up in his best God costume. At eight, he sees the nun and appears before her. "Oh, God!" she exclaims. "Take me with you!" The man tells the nun that she must first have sex with him to prove her loyalty. The nun says yes, but tells him she prefers anal sex. Before you know it, they're getting down to it, having nasty, grunty, loud sex. After it's over, the man pulls off his God disguise. "Ha, ha! I'm the man from the bus!" "Ha, ha!" says the nun, removing her costume. "I'm the bus driver!"
  15. Leaving for the Crusades... All the good knights were leaving for the Crusades. One knight told his best friend, "My bride is without doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world. It would be a terrible waste if no man could have her. Therefore, as my best and most trusted friend, I am leaving you the key to her chastity belt to use should I not return from the Crusade." The company of knights were only a mile or so out of town when they noticed a cloud of dust approaching. Thinking it might be an important message from the town the column halted. A horseman approached. It was the knight's best friend yelling, "Hey, you gave me the wrong key!"
  16. Boxes of 3, 6 or 12 A man walks into a drug store with his 11-year-old son. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad? To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms son. Men use them to have safe sex." "Oh I see," replied the boy pensively. "I've heard of that in health class at school." He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?" The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys. One for Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday." "Cool!" says the boy. He notices a 6 pack and asks, "Then who are these for?" "Those are for college men," the dad answers. "Two for Friday, two for Saturday, and two for Sunday." "Wow!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up a 12 pack. With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replied, "Those are for married men. One for January, one for February, one for March..."
  17. Miss, you have cancer The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, ‘I’ve got some bad news. You have cancer, and you’d best put your affairs in order.’ The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting. ‘Well, daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don’t go so well. In this case, things aren’t well. I have cancer. So, let’s head to the club and have a martini.’ After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached by some of the woman’s old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end, ‘I’ve been diagnosed with AIDS.’ The friends were aghast, gave the woman their condolences and beat a hasty retreat. After the friends left, the woman’s daughter leaned over and whispered, ‘Mum, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS! Why did you do that??’ ‘Because I don’t want any of those bitches sleeping with your father after I’m gone.’
