Brandon Spikes made six tackles as his New England Patriots pummeled the Houston Texans in NFL playoff action on Sunday, but his greatest contribution to the win was undoubtedly this extremely fresh celebration dance after the Pats recovered a fumble during the game’s third quarter. An official review of the play actually nullified the fumble — but really, who cares? The pop. The lock. The crisp head turn. Spikes’ sweet moves stand up to any review. GIFs and video clips of the dance were an immediate viral hit with fans of football and funny on Sunday and Monday. Spikes is actually a man-about-Internet-town, too — this isn’t his first time making a splash on the web. In a Christmas Eve tweet last month, the former Florida Gator mentioned leaving “a big fat rail of coke and a shot of Jack for Santa this year,” because cookies and milk don’t fuel optimal present-delivery performance. In September, he used Twitter to blast the NFL’s replacement referees, then told critical fans to “bit me,” enjoy their blow-up doll dates and “kiss my whole ass.” Check out Spikes’ full celebration: Thumbnail image via YouTube Read more: http://mashable.com/2013/01/14/brandon-spikes-celebration-dance/
Science is a crazy thing. There are some scientific principles that even the greatest minds in the world have trouble understanding. This fascinating field reveals something new to us every single day. One rudimentary scientific principle that I sometimes struggle to understand is the concept of magnetism. While we don’t often think about this bizarre phenomenon when we hang notes on our refrigerators, it’s pretty crazy to think about what magnets can do. Need proof? Check out what happens when you drop a metal object through a coiled magnet. Who knew that magnets could be powerful enough to melt metal? That’s ridiculous! I’ll never look at these things the same way again. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/metal-magnet/

Following the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault allegations, Hollywood has experienced a long-overdue calling out of men in power abusing their power to take advantage of countless women and even some men. Every day it seems like a new accuser has come forward to add another name to the list, comforted by the bravery of those before them. As the hierarchy begins to fall like a row of dominos, the aftershocks of these sexual harassment cases have begun to trickle down into politics thanks to the accusations that Republican Roy Moore engaged in predatory sexual behavior with at least three underage girls. But as the fall of Hollywood’s patriarchy continues, countless celebs have offered their support of the victims while many others share their own stories with the world. And while a majority of those coming forward happen to be women, there are a few men brave enough to use their privilege and take a stand for those who have been voiceless for so long. Concertgoers at a recent Drake performance in Australia were caught off guard when the rapper stopped the show in its tracks to address a male fan found groping a young woman in the audience. “If you don’t stop touching girls I’m going to come over there and f*** you up,” he declared while directly addressing the abuser. Youtube / Inside Edition Groping and other inappropriate behaviors are nothing new for concertgoers. The general admissions areas of most performance spaces are often cramped to the max with people, leaving plenty of opportunities for men to try and grab women without reproach. Youtube / Inside Edition But Drake isn’t the only male performer calling out fans for their perv-ish behaviors. Country singer Aaron Lewis and Architects front-man Sam Carter have both addressed inappropriate touching during their recent concerts.
