This Guy's Archery Skills Are Borderline Superhuman 

After watching this video, I can only assume that archer Lars Andersen is some kind of robot. I can’t say I’ve ever seen someone use a bow with such proficiency, accuracy or skill. In fact, Andersen is so good he’s better than Legolas from Lord of the Rings, something I’m sure will have Orlando Bloom in tears. Unconvinced? Just check out the video. 

How To Slow Cook To Perfection According To Master Chef Raymond Blanc 

Video: Last week, Michelin-star chef Raymond Blanc showed us how to roast to perfection. Today, he teaches us the secrets of slow cooking. Prepare to get hypnotized once again by Raymond’s personality and his mouth-watering recipes. 

Presto App Update Adds Presto TV For 'Selected Android Devices' 

Already available on other platforms, streaming video service Presto has just introduced its Presto TV option to Android users. For $9.99 month, you’ll have access to “1000s of hours of ad-free television shows”, as long as you own one of a select few Android-powered devices. 

The Best Predictor Of Heart Disease Is...Twitter? 

Normally, when doctors are trying to look at whether an individual is at risk of heart disease, they will look at classic indicators of health: smoking, diet, obesity and so on. But according to a University of Pennsylvania study, they might be better off taking a look at their tweets. 

Bad Graphic Design Puns For Designer In-Jokes 

Spending hours labouring over an InDesign template can feel like thankless work, especially when your team of oh-so-gifted writers don’t understand the concept of a word limit. But at least while you’re shedding bitter tears for butchered layouts, these design puns will give you something else to groan about. 

Bulletproof Coffee: Debunking The Hot Buttered Hype 

People are putting butter in their coffee. And, hey, if you’re just craving a new flavour experience, more power to you. The problem is that Bulletproof Coffee, the company behind the trend, is claiming that drinking a mug of fatty joe every morning instead of eating breakfast is a secret shortcut to weight loss and mental superpowers, and now the butter coffee has developed a cult of highly caffeinated, shiny-lipped adherents. So now we have to talk about it.

US Navy To Publicly Show Their Amazing Railgun For The First Time Ever 

Video: The US Navy will publicly show their formidable railgun at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo in Washington DC on 4 February. The electromagnetic cannon launches solid projectiles over 100 nautical miles at more than six times the speed of sound. You can see it in action above. 

Why Leatherman's Multitool Bracelet Is Beautiful But Useless 

A multitool you can wear on your wrist? Neat! But, will it actually be useful as, you know, a tool? I don’t think so. This is manly wrist fashion, not a genuinely useful wearable. For the last couple of years, braided lengths of paracord worn on your wrist have been a thing. The idea is that they enable you to easily carry 6m or more of the multi-purpose rope with you anywhere, leaving you prepared to tie stuff up on a moment’s notice. 

Warner Bros Planning New Animated Jetsons Movie 

Deadline first broke the story last night that Warner Bros. has hired Matt Lieberman to pen the script for a feature length animated version of The Jetsons. The big question: Will it be 2D or 3D animation? 

Hungarian Bacon Fat Noodles With Raw Sugar Will Kill Your Heart 

Video: I spent the last few days in Hungary, where I had good food and discovered a new Kinja that I will watch every day even if I don’t speak a word of Hungarian: Malackaraj. Where else can I learn how to make something as delicious and deadly as túrós csusza. Watch my new favourite food blogger Anna Péter preparing it. 

Star Wars Trailer In The Style Of Avengers: Age Of Ultron 

Video: This Star Wars trailer in the style of Avengers: Age of Ultron is pretty neat. I wish Disney really made a Star Wars-Marvel Universe crossover. A cool one, not something dumb. Like the Guardians of the Galaxy finding the remains of an Imperial base abandoned 100,000 years ago.
