This is the perfect entertainment for everyone who both enjoys playing tetris and making fun of japanese people. And just before you accuse me of professing ethnic slur, just watch the following video, and you’ll realize how japanese people enjoy mocking themselves more than anyone else. This is footage from some sort of crazy japanese game show where the contestants are expected to play a human variety of tetris where the punishment for failure is getting pushed into a swimming pool. While the premise sounds simple enough, most contestants don’t succed, either because they are totally inept or because they’re required to mimic the most awkward block shapes you can imagine. Some of those little guys really try doing their best tough, it’s actually kind of inspiring once you think of it.

Ladies and Gentleman, hereupon today’s slice, I present you with… Noah Kalina, the New york photographer who would sprung to Internet stardom by making a video called “everyday”, whereupon he basically takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years!

Now who would have thought of something like that? Well, in my humble opinion, many people would, but only a few bold chosen ones have actually surfaced with a collage of daily photographs of the self… recurring for no less than 6 years, I say! What about that?

Maybe it’s just the music, maybe it’s just too far out of a concept… there are really no words to describe the awkwardness of this video; rather, the awkwardness of the emotions it evokes, the soft remission of the yesterday by now, cast dinamicaly into the present future… actually, rather than indulging my gibberish, you dont you check out this amazing video?

If you ever feel like making something like this, make sure to send me the video! I’ll cut you a slice (of life, that is!), y’hear me?

See the ugly critters above? Looks like something straight from outer space ( or at least a bad sci-fi movie), right? Well, it turns out this eerie beast, suggestively titled the “Garadiavolo” or “devil’s face” is nothing other but the innocent protagonist of a fascinating scientific scam, authored by one fearless explorer / con artist called Aufredo Garcia Garamendi.

During one of his expeditions in Porto Rico in 1974, Mr. Garamendi claimed that he was attacked by one of this horrible creatures, which allegedly tried to choke him. The bold adventurer escaped by a close shot, since he barely managed to take out his dagger and kill the beast dead, which he then baptized Garadiavolo. He took the beast home as a trophee, and later on he would be visited by some CIA agents who would have taken the Garadiavolo away. As result, a huge mystery was set, and many people were enticed with the possibility that it was a sort of alien animal or even an unknown specied.

 …….or so the story goes. Truth of the matter was,  Mr. Garamendi must have been acquainted with some local scam artists, who know how to take an unsuspecting Ray fish (such as the one in the picture bellow) and turn it into alien-like beast by making a few strategic cuts and letting the poor fish dry out in the sun. This is a really effective trick because the fish’s nostrils actually look like some devilish eyes, once dried out. All in all, this is nothing but a local Puerto Rican curiosity which a smart explorer conveniently turned into a huge mystery. Makes you wonder, eh?
