Starbucks Cookies Look a Little Terrifying

Coffee giant Starbucks has made a range of Christmas polar bear biscuits that look unexpectedly terrifying.

The cute cookies are designed to give the animals a pleasing smile and a bright red scarf around their necks.

But, as one eagle-eyed Imgur user pointed out, the actually look like they have had their throats cut.

Yikes!

Obama Talks Like a Pirate

Looks like Pres. Obama got into the spirit of International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

This cam through via his Twitter account.

Beautiful Mars Images

Looks like Howard, Sheldon and Leonard and back taking the Mars Rover for a spin.

Some cool pics sent back make the planet Mars look like that barren area outside Las Vegas.

From fresh rover tracks to an impact crater blasted billions of years ago, a newly completed view from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows the ruddy terrain around the outcrop where the long-lived explorer spent its most recent Martian winter.

This scene recorded from the mast-mounted color camera includes the rover's own solar arrays and deck in the foreground, providing a sense of sitting on top of the rover and taking in the view. Its release this week coincides with two milestones: Opportunity completing its 3,000th Martian day on July 2, and NASA continuing past 15 years of robotic presence at Mars. Mars Pathfinder landed July 4, 1997. NASA's Mars Global Surveyor orbiter reached the planet while Pathfinder was still active, and Global Surveyor overlapped the active missions of the Mars Odyssey orbiter and Opportunity, both still in service.

The new panorama is online at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA15689. It is presented in false color to emphasize differences between materials in the scene. It was assembled from 817 component images taken between Dec. 21, 2011, and May 8, 2012, while Opportunity was stationed on an outcrop informally named "Greeley Haven," on a segment of the rim of ancient Endeavour Crater.

"The view provides rich geologic context for the detailed chemical and mineral work that the team did at Greeley Haven over the rover's fifth Martian winter, as well as a spectacularly detailed view of the largest impact crater that we've driven to yet with either rover over the course of the mission," said Jim Bell of Arizona State University, Tempe, Pancam lead scientist.

Opportunity and its twin, Spirit, landed on Mars in January 2004 for missions originally planned to last for three months. NASA's next-generation Mars rover, Curiosity, is on course for landing on Mars next month.

Jetman Flies in Brazil

I realized something while looking at these pictures of "Jetman" while he soared with his jetpack above Rio.

I realized I want one.

Yves Rossy, known as the Jetman, flies over Rio de Janiero during a successful flight in this May 2, 2012 handout photograph released by Breitling.

The Swiss aviator dropped from a helicopter and deployed the jet-powered carbon-kevlar "Jetwing" and uses his body to steer as he flew over the city.
