Without a doubt the best thing you’ll see on the Internet today: Lithuanian photographer Tadao Cern’s hilarious series entitled “Blow Job” that depicts people experiencing gale-force winds directly to the face. Strap yourself in and prepare to die laughing — the Facebook album’s up to 100 photos.

The Tale of Dr. Takeshi Yamada and his Noble Sea Rabbit

One of my favorite things I found last year was also one of the strangest (and let’s be honest, I’ve posted a lot of fucked up things), the story of the esteemed  and his noble Sea Rabbit, Seara. Dr. Yamada has spent myriad years trying to bring the Sea Rabbit, a water-faring mammal, back from the brink of extinction. To help rehabilitate the noble creature and reintroduce it to the wilds, Dr. Yamada chauffeurs Seara around so it can become re-accustomed to the harsh world that nearly drove it away forever. A heartwarming tale, as the good doctor’s work is never done, as seen from his hundreds of photos on flickr.

It’s also a heartwarming tale because it’s an Asian dude with his buddy, the rabbit.
