Someone Has Started A Petition To Get Snoop Dogg To Narrate An Entire Series Of Planet Earth


After THAT video of Snoop Dogg commentating on nature went viral, some genius has come up with a petition we can all definitely get behind.
Imagine a world where an entire series of Planet Earth was narrated by Snoop Dogg. Just imagine that. Seriously.
Well, someone has created a petition to make it happen and we think everyone in the world should sign it because it's got to be up there with the most worthy of causes ever seen on one of these petition websites. OK, I'm massively exaggerating but still, this would be epic.

This Lad Is Travelling The World And Eating Pizza Everywhere He Goes


Some of us are lucky enough to have jobs we love, but this guy really is living the dream with his.
Meet Phil Duncan.

He loves travelling the world almost as much as he loves pizza. So he decided to combine both and now stuffs his face with saucy slices as he wanders across the world.
His pizza passion started at five-years-old when he ate a pizza baguette in Disneyland Paris, Elite Daily reports. Since then, he has eaten pizza in over 30 different countries across five continents, documenting his journey on Instagram.

He shares his incredible adventures on his travel blog, Travel Slice, where he writes about his pizza pilgrimage.
Speaking to Elite Daily, he said:
I love the pizza in New York, especially Front Street Pizza just by The Brooklyn Bridge. During my last trip to NYC, I managed to eat at 10 different pizza shops within 36 hours of being there.
Just by looking at a few of the photos below, you can see this guy has a pretty awesome life.


Phil continues:
I have been to some of the largest cities in the world and some tiny remote islands in the middle of nowhere. It amazes me no matter what the traditional food is like, you will always find somewhere that sells pizza.
According to Phil though, there is some real bad pizza out there too, with Argentina being the worst pizza he’s ever had. Maybe it’s just South America? Weird pizza in Brazil emerged only a few months back with tyres and creme caramels included. Grim.

When it comes to his future exploits Phil dreams of getting to the home of pizza, Italy and also revealed more ambitious plans.
He added:
I have never been to Italy, the home of pizza. Mainly because when I go and do my pilgrimage, I want to do it properly, really experience it and hopefully learn how to make pizza. My dream, when I’m old, is to open my own pizza restaurant, so I suppose I should learn to make it rather than just eat it.

Keep living that dream Phil, I’m not jealous whatsoever…
I am.

Metal Safe Discovered Under Demolished Home Of Drug Lord Pablo Escobar


The former home of a notorious Colombian drug lord has revealed one final mystery while being demolished.
The Miami Beach mansion once owned by the ‘King of Cocaine’, Pablo Escobar, is currently being demolished nearly twenty years after the U.S. government seized it from him, the Mirror reports.
However during the demolition, construction workers discovered a secret metal safe hidden beneath the concrete and weighing around 50-stone.

The safe is now being kept inside a bank vault guarded by armed security until the current property owners decide to open it.
Escobar is infamous for being the wealthiest criminal in history, with an estimated net worth of $30 billion (£21 billion), and approximately $100 billion (£70 billion) when we include money he buried in different places throughout Colombia. His story has also recently become the subject of Netflix drama Narcos.
Fast-food entrepreneur Christian de Berdouare, who owns the home with his wife, television journalist Jennifer Valoppi, said:
This is real. It’s still locked. It’s very, very heavy. We can’t believe it — now Pablito [Escobar] is my best friend. We had left one of the walls… when I started to knock it down, a piece of rubble hit the foundation, the floor sunk and I saw it.  It was something gray. I grabbed it with the excavator’s claw, realized it was a safe and started to yell to tell them.

At roughly 6,500 square feet, the four-bedroom mansion would have been surprisingly modest for a man who called himself ‘The Godfather’.
De Berdouare now plans to build a more modern house on the site of the mansion.

The Game Just Posted His Bank Balance On Social Media And Holy Shit


It’s always good to see celebrities giving back and actioning their words for the good of humanity, and this is something The Game does regularly.
But the rapper’s latest gesture is probably his biggest yet, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Compton native donated $500,000 of his own money to the water crisis that is currently hitting Flint, Michigan, sent across $1million in water bottles, then challenged any celebrity to match him.
However, in the very heartfelt Instagram post, in which he made his official announcements, he didn’t blur out any of the details from his charity’s bank account – which showed a grand total of $13,274,585.32.


Whether this was on purpose or not, we don’t know, and with this only being his charity bank account it’s safe to say that $13million is only a fraction of his wealth (he is reportedly worth $25million).
Hats off, Game. Let’s hope your message puts a few celebrities under pressure. It’s about time people put their money where their mouth is.

Lad Flew From Sheffield To Essex Via Berlin To Save £8


Look at this face.


This is the face of a man who wants to save £8.
Jordon Cox A.K.A the no-chill-savage-supreme needed to get from Sheffield to Essex, but the train was expensive. So he shopped around and realised that if he went via Berlin he could save almost a tenner.
Sure, it's an extra 1,017 miles, but eight quid is eight quid. You could buy a meal deal at the train station for that - possibly two meal deals #ballin
Jordon found that the cheapest one-way ticket from Sheffield to Shenfield, Essex was £47. Bloomin' expensive that.
However, he could spend £4 on a train from Sheffield to Derby, then £4.20 on a bus from Derby to East Midlands Airport, followed by a ridiculously cheap flight to Berlin with Ryanair for £11.83 then £9.54 on a flight from Berlin to Stansted and £8 on his bus ride home, totalling £37.57.

Unfortunately, Jordon didn't factor in the requisite £40 to £50 any flyer must spend in the Stansted Wetherspoon's prior to a trip of this nature.
Meaning his experiment cannot to be trusted.

WATCH: Guy Attempts To Drink A Gallon Of Tabasco Sauce

 Now, I love me some Tabasco sauce, but this is ridiculous.
Professional competitive eater "L.A. Beast", who hosts a challenge-based channel on YouTube, attempted to drink a whole gallon of the stuff.
The 10-minute video was uploaded back in 2014 but it's insane enough to re-post at any time in the history of earth. However, you might want to look away around the 8:40 mark.


  Why anybody would want to do that is beyond me. Just thinking about the expulsion of all that hot sauce is enough to make me cry.

‘Man Braids’ Are Here, Do Exactly What They Say On The Tin


It’s official, ‘man braids’ have landed and they are definitely dividing opinions.
Evolving from the ‘man bun’, the style has made its way into male hipster fashion just 15 short years after ‘Legolas’ first appeared in the Lord of the Ringsmovies.
But is it a good thing?

Footballers seem to like it.




Fair play to any man who does spend hours on YouTube painstakingly learning how to put a plait in place, and kudos for the commitment to growing your hair.
However, attempting to claim the braid as a ‘man’ style doesn’t seem all that fair at all, does it?


Google Earth Doesn’t Want You To See These Mysterious Secret Sites


Google Earth has put the world at your fingertips: from the Pyramids of Giza to the Great Wall of China everything and anywhere is just a click away, but even Google has its secrets.
news.com.au have reported a number of sensitive areas which are blacked out or hidden on Google Earth, and conspiracy theorists claim these sites hide sinister secrets.
Here’s a list of the hidden areas.

HAARP, Washington-Oregon border



The mysterious and secretive HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) was located near the Washington-Oregon border.
The US Air Force shut down the research facility – which studied an energetic and active region of the upper atmosphere known as the ionosphere – in 2014, however it remains blacked out on Google maps.
Conspiracy theorists have long believed that HAARP was a program designed to build a device to control the weather, while some have said it’s a UFO test site.
After the Haiti earthquake in 2010 the Venezuelan leader, Huge Chavez, claimed HAARP, or a program like it triggered the earthquake.

The secret city, Russia



Deep in the Siberian Tundra there’s an area that appears blurred out on Google and nobody knows why.
Back 1986, Russia claimed there were dozens of ‘closed cities’ around their country. These mysterious towns have strict travel and residency restrictions and specific permission is needed to visit them.
It’s thought that these towns are probably sensitive military establishments or secret research installations which need much more space or freedom than is available in a conventional military base.
These cities usually have mysterious numbers attached to their names, such as Arzamas-16, which was the home of the atomic engineers who put an end to America’s nuclear monopoly. Some have suggested this blurred piece of tundra may be one of Russia’s ‘secret cities’.
One writer on the website Siberian Light speculates it’s either ‘a radar station or missile interceptor,’ while another theory is that the image of the area has just been copy-pasted from another part of the country.

Portlaoise Prison, Ireland



Portlaoise Prison in Ireland’s County Laois is a high-security prison where the country houses some of its most dangerous criminals.
The prison isn’t blurred on Google Earth, but anyone who takes a look at the prison on the map may notice that the colours of the image don’t match with its surroundings.
This is because the view on Google Earth is of an old prison, believed to be a security precaution to stop people planning an escape from the facility.

 The Faroe Islands, Denmark



The Faroe Islands are a self-governing archipelago, and a part of Denmark. They’re made up of 18 volcanic islands between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Oddly, a large area of the islands is missing, including an old WWII military base on the island of Vágar.
No one is quite sure why parts of the Faroe Islands, home to 50,000 people, are pixelated, but news.com.au claim that it’s nothing exciting like a UFO base and is probably something to do with fishing rights.

Százhalombatta Oil Refinery, Hungary



When Google photographed the Százhalombatta Oil Refinery in Hungary they asked that the image be coloured green and have its building and grounds removed from satellite photos – but no one really knows why.
Even stranger, though, is that the green blocks out a field of grass with nothing on top of it.

Kangtega, Nepal



Kangtega, known also as The Snow Saddle, is a huge mountain peak in the Himalayas, Nepal.
For completely unknown reasons the Saddle is blacked out on Google Earth, although it’s believed by some to be a simple glitch in the system.

Man Confronts Teenagers In Tesco After They Scratch His Car


A video is currently doing the rounds on social media of a man who followed two teenage lads into a Tesco after he spotted them scratching his car.
In the post on Facebook, Luke Joseph wrote: “Laid in bed hears a couple of lads outside… The nosey an paranoid twat I am jumps up has a look outa window, low n behold behold 2 lads outside laughing walking down rd being stupid.”
He continues: “scratched my car again. As im watchin em walk down TO MY SHOCK They scratched the Bentley few doors on.. which I saw with my own eyes..Fact… Shouted at the door n they ran like fuk.”

Luke then goes on to say how he quickly got himself dressed and jumped into his car to try and track the lads down, before managing to follow them into a Tesco.The following scenario ensued…



We wouldn’t suggest this form of action every time, but at least he had his phone available. Only time will tell if his car’s bodywork has been given a rest.
At least he doesn’t own the Bentley…

You’ve probably lost count of how many times you’ve seen this prick on your Facebook feed…
Bill has attracted an audience of millions around the world in a matter of weeks, with his passive-aggressive statuses flooding social media and I think we have had enough now.

But don’t threat, if you don’t want to be like Bill we have a way to get rid of the smarmy stick figure- once and for all.
Just click on the drop down arrow on the right of the post, select ‘Hide all from’ whichever app they used to create this monstrosity and then you’ll be free.

Amsterdam Is Now Home To The World’s First Dedicated Hotel For Gamers

If you’ve ever visited Amsterdam, you’ll know it’s a magical place. Mostly for the sights and the people of course, and definitely not the vast amounts of readily available weed. Whatever your views on recreational drug use anyway, it’s a great place to visit. Now, thanks to a a new dedicated gamer hotel, it just became even greater.
The Arcade Hotel in Amsterdam has been dubbed the “world’s first hotel for gamers” where guests can hang out, play retro classics as well as modern titles, and do all that other boring hotel stuff like sleep in luxury, eat delicious food, and drink half your weight in gin. If you’ve ever wanted to see if you’d still be any good at Duck Hunt after getting mashed on booze, this is the place to do it.

Located in the De Pijp area, the hotel has 36 rooms, each with a retro gaming console included – no extra charge. As if that wasn’t enough for you, you greedy devils, there’s a selection of comic books from the likes of DC and Dark Horse for you to read while you wait for your turn in one of the communal gaming lounges.
At the grand opening last week, guests were treated to an outdoor FIFAtournament, with street food and gin tasting. Hotel owner Daniel Salmanovich also spoke of plans to expand the number of rooms to 46 to accommodate yet more gaming enthusiasts from around the world.

So The Arcade Hotel looks all set to become a must see destination for anyone with a love of videogames… just remember if you go that there’s plenty of other great stuff to see and do in Amsterdam, as tempting as it would be to hole up and have a SNES marathon all weekend long.

Getting Annoyed By Chewing And Slurping Noises Is A Genuine Psychiatric Disorder


One of the things I'm sure most of us will all agree on is that loud chewing is an absolute travesty that should earn you a one way ticket to the depths of fucking hell.
Hearing someone chomping wildly on a Big Mac or slurping their morning coffee, to the point where they might inhale the cup, can make you feel like your head is about to explode.

Well there's news for all of us who feel this way, you're suffering from a psychiatric disorder called Misophonia.
This translates directly to 'hatred of sound', which to be honest is accurate for most of us. The sound of other people's voices can literally send us into meltdown. However, it doesn't mean that you are just a hater to anything that makes a sound and would rather be deaf, it just means that there are certain noises that'll trigger anger and an uncomfortable scenario.
The best example I can think is when someone drags their nails over a surface and it makes a screeching noise - that is painful to my ears.

The loud chewing of chewing gum is high up on my list. It makes an unbearable noise and if the perpetrator doesn't realise it sends me into an even deeper pit of rage.
Other things are the sound of Katie Hopkins being a grade A bellend - affects me weekly. The sound of Iggy Azalea thinking she's an acceptable addition to the music industry, and the brain farts that Donald Trump makes when in front of a microphone.

What Exactly Is That Stupid Tiny Pocket Within A Pocket On Your Jeans For?


Usually on my morning commutes, I'm fairly disconnected from the world; yet to properly wake from my slumber. However, today after my second coffee I was more pucker than usual, so my daily complaints came early. Today's topic was a slightly weird one.
I'd reached into my jean pocket to get my phone, but in doing so my finger got caught on that stupid non-pocket that's inside your actual pocket. It ripped my nail and I was less than impressed. What's it even for anyway?
Apparently, it's a 'watch pocket', used by cowboys in the 1800s. As I'm not a cowboy and it's 2016, I wondered how it could be used today. Possibly as a place to store your wrap of cocaine, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
So what else? Small emergency foods? A rogue Roses caramel barrel, for example.


A spare double A battery? Many items powered by AA batteries are usually ineffective without said batteries, so it's smart to carry them around.


What about a toy car? It could be used to distract children who attack you in the street.


A sachet of McDonald's salt? You never know when you'll need to season anything. It's better to be prepared and have a salt sachet at the ready. I'll be damned if I'm carrying a salt shaker anywhere. Not again. Not in this life.
Notably, sugar can be used in the same context.


A few paracetamol will also fit. However, swallowing medicine covered in denim fluff may have negative health implications.
Following extensive research, I found you cannot fit a full size apple in the pocket. However, once you've eaten said apple, you can fit the core in there. Which I'm sure we can all appreciate.


It's also quite useful for change. But that's really boring, to be honest.
