Crazy Dating Stories From Match.com

Not Everyone Marries Their High School Sweetheart

There are tons of crazy stories about dates that have gone horribly: some are blind dates, some are first dates, and even some of them are from people on their second/third and beyond dates!
Remember, as long as they keep handing out match.com coupon codes, the weirdoes will keep coming back to the so-called ‘safe’ premium dating sites.

Buzzfeed has compiled a great list of horrible anecdotes about first dates, which were originally compiled by Whisper (an anonymous app where people can tell stories anonymously).

Among them:

Being the person that is being sung to is awkward, especially if you’re in a seated position. At a concert, you could at least dance and enjoy the moment. Seated at … Read the rest

Livingsocial.com Moments: Guilty Dogs Are The Best Somehow.

Posted on by 3rd Planet Writer

If you’re a dog owner, this has happened to you.

You come home from a long day of cashing in Livingsocial deals at local spas, restaurants, and shops, and you just want to have a sandwich and take a nap.

But your dog has other ideas. He’s been home all day. He knows you’re tired. Your motor skills are weak…and you’re dog knows it’s time to pounce. You make a big, tasty sandwich right in front of him, and then you decide to go to the bathroom.

The second you turn your back.

Watch as this adorably guilty dog attempts to hide the fact that he has an entire sandwich in his mouth! Holy crap, I truly have no idea how he manages to keep … Read the rest

Thanks to Image Creators and iStock Promo codes

Posted on by 3rd Planet Writer

Part of enjoying this amazing planet is appreciating its beauty through other’s eyes. Our site, when we can will use images from istockphoto whenever we can on this site. Stock photo sites tend to have an unfairly bad reputation as a ‘corporate’ place, but there are tons of high quality images from independent artists that will help you to appreciate the beauty of the world around us in unique ways.

For example, check out this image that iStock.com posted on their Twitter acccount:

The skill of certain photographers to see what we don’t normally see is a special and valuable skill. It gives you a chance to change your perspective. Something you may walk by every single day and never notice may be one … Read the rest

Mark Hamill Storm Trooper

Mark Hamill is a Little Short To Be a Storm-Trooper, But Does It For Charity Anyway

Posted on by 3rd Planet Writer

Imagine you’re on vacation in Los Angeles and you visit the Chinese Theatre. There they have lots of people dressed up as famous characters: Superman, Cinderella, and Storm Troopers.

As part of a charity collaboration with Omaze, a charity organization that creates amazing experiences for people while raising money for charity at the same time, Hamill donned the storm trooper outfit and walked the Hollywood walk-of-fame.

This is pretty cool. As a self-avowed Star Wars fan, who hated the Phantom Menace so much, I considered purchasing web hosting so that I could make an entire website ranting about how new movies were ruining the legacy of the old movies. I’ve grown since then, and it seems like these new ones are going to be pretty … Read the rest

Bridges Meant For Animals

Posted on by 3rd Planet Writer

A Brilliantly Simple Solution To Roadkill

The bridge in the picture above one of many created in the Netherlands to allow animals to cross highways safely. This solution to the problem of roadkill on freeways gathered world-wide attention and now similar bridges have been (or are currently being) built in places around the world that have a history of roadkill problems.

You likely won’t be surprised to find out that places like Montana and Alberta, which both have had serious roadkill problems in the past, are building similar bridges along their highways. The bridges are not only to protect the animals from our vehicles, but to protect us from the damage these animals can cause. Hitting a deer or moose can be fatal to the … Read the rest

octopus takes camera

You’ll Never Guess Who Took This Picture

Posted on by 3rd Planet Writer

“I tried to get some photos of an octopus, but it grabbed the camera and got some of me instead!”

 

Filmmaker and Reddit user WattersonBill posted this photo from a lab where he was attempting to photograph an octopus. He inserted the camera into the tank with the octopus, and at first everything was going to plan:

 

 

 

As we all know the octopus is an incredibly intelligent animal (yes, it’s an animal. We weren’t sure either so we looked it up). This octopus noticed the camera and decided to reach out for it:

 

 

The octopus then started taking pictures of its captors, thereby reinforcing just how terrifyingly intelligent they really are:

 

 

 

This is only one … Read the rest
