Artist goes viral with New York skyline sketch (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

A British artist becomes an online hit after he created a remarkable drawing of the Lower Manhattan skyline as seen from the top of the Empire State building. Video of the drawing process posted on YouTube and Vimeo has gone viral across the world.

Patrick Vale, created the time-lapse video in a bid to prove that he draws freehand. Thus he placed his smart phone on a tripod over his hands and filmed the drawing being created.

It took Vale four days to finish his ink-made sketch, as he returned to the observation deck on the 102nd floor of the Empire State, The Huffington Post reports.

The artist, drawing to Moanin by Charles Mingus, appears to have made very few errors whilst sketching the skyline.

“I'm not that precious about drawing a true representation,” the Huffington Post quotes the artist. “I just try to let the pen decide what needs to be shown. You kind of have to just go for it and stop before its overworked.”
Dozens of comments to the video with praise of Vale’s work appeared on YouTube and Vimeo as thousands of people have viewed the short film online.

“Morning everyone! If I haven't already thanked you personally for sharing the Empire State of Pen video and for liking the page – thank you! I really do appreciate all your support,” the artist wrote on his Facebook page.

Internet Skepticism Toward Unaltered Photo Lands Unique Cat an Appearance on The Today Show

Venus the cat has a face that appears to have two completely separate halves. The left side of her face is black with a green eye. The right side of her face is orange tabby with a blue eye. The line dividing the two halves is straight and right down the center of her face such that a profile shot of one side would look like a completely separate cat when compared to a profile shot of the other side! 

 Venus began life on a farm in North Carolina. After seeing a snapshot that included the farm cat and being struck by her odd features, Veuns's current owners Chris and Christina decided they had to open their Florida home to one more cat. She lived quietly as a loving and beloved pet until Christina posted a page for her on Facebook and a friend posted her picture on Reddit. Her photos quickly went viral, being shared by hundreds of thousands of social media users within a week. Once the photos became famous, people began to suspect that the perfect line dividing two faces on the same cat could not be real and must have been fabricated or enhanced on Photoshop or her fur dyed. 

 However, video and older photos of the calico-tortoise shell mix shown on the Today show proves her unusual coloring to be natural. It is suspected that the odd physical feature may be the genetic result of two separately fertilized eggs that merged during very early development to form a single organism from two zygotes, or very young embryos. However, DNA testing has not been performed to confirm this suspicion. After her fifteen minutes of fame, Venus hopes to return home to Florida. However, it is also rumored that the suddenly-famous kitty now has an agent who will help connect Venus with animal rights non-profits who can use her fame and cuteness to further the cause of animal rights.

'Hunger Games' Parody Trailer Goes Viral (Video)

The Hunger Games has sold nearly 4 million DVDs and Blu-ray discs since hitting stories last week, but not everyone thinks the film lives up to the hype.

A video from Honest Trailers, which purports to advertise films as they really are, takes issue with Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence) ability to outwit other tributes by hanging out in trees and Peeta’s (Josh Hutcherson) ridiculously detailed cake decorating skills, and asks why the "much hotter" Gale (Liam Hemsworth) is not Katniss’ first choice.

VIDEO: 'The Hunger Games' Premiere Red Carpet Interviews 

Amassing more than a quarter of a million plays, the parody trailer mercilessly raises a slew of additional questions moviegoers may have been asking themselves, including plot points from Suzanne Collins' novel that didn't make it to the big screen. (Where's the avox?)

Watch the video below.

When CSU Senior Lexi DeForest fell down a trench while hiking at Vedauwoo Recreation Area near Laramie, her ankle snapped, and her foot was nearly detached from her leg. While her hiking companion ran for help, Lexi waited patiently for help to arrive.

During her wait, she stayed calm by making a video diary which she posted on YouTube four days later. Her mangled ankle, calm demeanor and pretty smile quickly caught on, and the video went viral. Since posting the video to the internet on August 15^th, the video has been watched over 360,000 times.

In the video Lexi stays calm and collected. She gives shout outs to her friends and family, talks about her college life, and even talks about how much she loves her dog. Lexi says she is afraid, but still stays calm on tape while waiting for medical attention.

WARNING: Before viewing be advised that the video below does show the disturbing image of the badly broken ankle, and also includes some adult language. Those who are squeamish may want to think twice before watching.

New Planes To Travel from London to New York in An Hour.

WaveRider Hypersonic Jet targets Mach 6!

Hypersonic jet WaveRider is to undergo another test flight above the Pacific Ocean aiming to reach Mach 6.Continue reading the main story

At this speed [more than 4,300mph (6,900km/h)], it could travel from London to New York in about an hour. The project is funded by the Pentagon and Nasa, and is part of plans to develop faster missiles. During a test in June 2011, WaveRider travelled at Mach 5, but failed to reach the target speed.

It is one of several projects currently under way to create a Hypersonic aircraft. The research could also be used to build a commercial plane, able to reach much higher speeds than today's jets, after Concorde was decommissioned in 2003.

Five-minute flight

A B-52 bomber will lift the wingless unmanned jet from US Edwards Air Force Base in California to 50,000 feet (15,250m). The craft will then be dropped, and after a free fall of about four seconds, its engine is supposed to ignite. 

Continue reading the main story

X-51A WaveRider should then climb to 70,000ft (21,300m) and eventually reach Mach 6.

The Mach number is the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound. Mach 1 is the speed of sound - approximately 768mph, depending on various factors including temperature and altitude. So Mach 6 is six times the speed of sound. Concorde's cruising speed was Mach 2 - it flew from London to New York in just over three hours.

The WaveRider test flight is expected to last for about five minutes. At the end of it, the aircraft will break into pieces and fall into the Pacific. The test is essentially a repeat of last summer's attempt, when the hypersonic aircraft reached Mach 5, but the engine failed to attain full power.

Viral Video of A Ferrari Running Over A Cop

This is an absolutely insane viral video taken by a passer-by who happens to be a ferrari fanatic as well.
He was just admiring the ferrari taking a shot with His canon 7d only to get a little more than he expected.

This was what he had to say about his experience.
"I was walking around Soho, NYC today when I stumbled upon this Ferrari 458 Spider with a cop writing a ticket next to it. I started to record the situation because I thought it'd make a cool video, little did I know what I was in for. As soon as I started recording the owner of the car appeared and got in it. He slowly started moving since he refused to accept the ticket (the car was parked in a hotels valet zone and the hotel valet had the keys, I myself don't understand why the cop was giving him the ticket, it was approved by the hotel that the car was parked there.) The cop then told him to stop but he proceeded to move forward. Now at this point I believe the cops foot was under the front drivers side tire. Yet again the owner moved the car forward and apparently he somewhat ran over the cops foot (or at least that's what can be made out from everything in the video, others at the scene claimed otherwise.) This triggered the cop and he slammed his hand into the drivers window and proceed to open the door (notice how many times he bumped it into the taxi cab) and pull the driver out forcefully. The driver was then thrown on the ground and handcuffed and arrested. The owners girlfriend seen in the video is also Stephanie Pratt from the MTV hit show, The Hills. The car did suffer some damage, paint chips on the door from when the cop slammed it into the cab and some scuffs by the engine bay shown in the last scene of this video. Pretty crazy situation, I was definitely at the right place at the right time!"

Call Me Maybe's parody in the Tech world is "Fund Me Maybe"

Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook’s former marketing director and sister of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, recently channeled her inner Carly Rae Jepsen with a “Call Me Maybe” parody dubbed “Fund Me Maybe.”

She and her band Feedbomb performed the spin-off live at the ThriveGulu charity event in San Francisco, infusing Jepsen’s chart-topping song with references to the tech world and startup investors.

“Hey, I just launched this. My idea’s crazy, but here’s my startup, so fund me maybe,” belts Zuckerberg, who left Facebook in August 2011 to launch social media firm R to Z Studios (formerly named RtoZ Media).

Business Insider‘s West Coast editor Owen Thomas wrote the lyrics to “Fund Me Maybe” and made a brief appearance in the live performance.

Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” is still number 1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, after first appearing on top in June.
