It’s that time of the day when DAPS gets just a little more AWESOME! What’s more awesome than penguins being protected by snipers? That’s right… nothing!
Professional snipers have been brought in to guard a vulnerable colony of penguins in Australia.
The deployment follows the mysterious deaths of nine of the flightless birds over the last two weeks.
The mutilated bodies of the animals, known as fairy penguins, were found in a national park near Sydney harbour.
The main suspects are dogs and foxes. At 40cm tall, the world’s smallest penguin species is clearly no match for such aggressive enemies.
To even up the fight, two snipers have been deployed as bodyguards. (via BBC NEWS)
Leave it to those cooky austrailians to get all snipery on account of Danny Devito’s kin. (lololz batman returns references)
So what else is up in AWESOME today? Bet you never seen this cool Infrared Photogrpahy shit. (If you’re thinking to yourself… “yes i have” then you’re pretentious and you don’t belong here! GO AWAY)
You can check out more of that shit over at Funtasticus.com. Theres a lot more amazing images so seriously go look at them. Those break media people sure are keen on finding interesting and relevant content ::wink::
What’s funny is that we have no connection to that site at all LOL. We also have ZERO connection to Joe Farraj, whose text conversation trumps all that you’ve ever found even mildly important…
If you don’t understand why that’s so cool, we’re not about to tell you.. the next post is also pretty much for you also.
All of us here laughed just about as much as these guys did, we might have been laughing AT THEM though. On the other hand, we weren’t laughing at this next video. We were just amazed at how many people were involved… Way to go Stockholm!
Oh, Michael Jackson stuff, You’ve got about another week before nobody cares anymore.
We will always celebrate the late Bill Cosby though, especially when he’s memorialized in Jell-o art.
To celebrate Bill Cosby’s birthday on July 12th, artist Andrew Salamone made a portrait of the comedian using Jell-O shots. Which, I think we can all agree, is a fitting tribute. Does he still do those commercials? Damn, now I want a Jell-O Pudding Pop. Do they still make those? Okay, so maybe I have been down in this robot shelter too long. I kid, I kid — now somebody bring me some new cassettes to play.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a video of the portrait’s transformation over the course of a night. (via Geekologie)
Seriously, how cool is that? Geekologie really has their shit on lock and we’d like to marry them! Which state is it that websites can get married again? I think it’s Maine. Speaking of Maine, there’s an epidemic in this country with a disease that really needs more attention, so we’re going to do our part and spotlight it!
Those cats at IGNentertainment sure do know how to make us giggle. teehee. teehee. Anyhoes, Don’t forget to become a fan of “Awesomeness!” on Facebooks It will be the best strategic move you make all day!
