Those of you who have a dog know how excited and hyper they get during playtime. This is especially true if the game in question has anything to do with objects that they can fetch. Whenever I take my dogs to the park and bring a ball, they practically knock me over while jumping up and trying to grab it out of my hand. At least I’m able to keep standing, though — unlike this poor kid. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); While enjoying a nice family game of baseball, this little boy pulled off an awesome hit and began running around the bases as fast as he could.

Universal Pictures released the first trailer for 47 Ronin on Wednesday, starring Keanu Reeves as “The One” — but in a very different setting. In the clip, viewers get a glimpse of Reeves as an outcast, slave and wild samurai warrior. The bearded, blade-wielding protagonist dodges fire face-first and goes head-to-head with a dragon (of sorts). 47 Ronin is based on an 18th-century tale of clan warfare and revenge surrounding a band of 47 loyal samurais, who are seeking vengeance after the murder of their master. The movie, directed by Carl Rinsch, also stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano. 47 Ronin premieres on Dec. 25. Watch the trailer above to see Reeves in action and let us know what you think in the comments, below.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); A while back we brought you a story about an amazing tap dancing seagull in Wales. Well, the little guy is still dancing like no one is watching! The feathered fella seems to be quite the celebrity these days and is always willing to do a little jig for a yummy snack. Fun fact: Seagulls actually developed this ability to “tap dance” because the sound of their feet hitting the ground resembles raindrops, which brings out the worms. So, basically, this clever bird is using his tap dancing skills to get his supper even when there is nothing but pavement and concrete around. All I could think about while watching this was, “He’s a maniac, maniac on the floor! And he’s dancing like he’s never danced before!” Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/tap-dancing-seagull/
Disney Research in Zurich, Switzerland, has developed a new process called “Physical Face Cloning” that allows it to create realistic animatronic characters. The technology scans the head of a human before putting the coordinates and expressions into a 3D program. Measurements such as skin and thickness are then used to produce a 3D printed mold of the face before a silicon layer of syntheic skin is attached. The result is a realistic-looking robotic head with accurate expressions and features such as wrinkles. Disney will use the technology and process to produce life-like animatronic figures in its theme parks to add to the realism of the interactive characters. Watch the video below to see the entire process.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); I will forever be a dog person because cats are just too smart and devious for my liking. Oh, and they know how pretty they are. I have yet to meet one cat or kitten that didn’t think it was better than everyone else in the room. They are also great at pulling off wicked schemes, but guess what, cats. We’re onto you. I think it’s time to expose your lies to the world. You might appear to be cute and cuddly, but in reality, you’re criminal masterminds. Here’s proof. 1. “They’re mine. They’re all mine!” 2. Looks like you won’t be getting that back anytime soon. Reddit / Vandal60 googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBM_BTF’); }); 3. “Thanks for warming it up for me.” Reddit / Jerk_Face_Magee 4. “You weren’t going to wear this today, were you?” Reddit / PerverseMadonna 5.

There’s a special place in Hell for this cat. 10. “You bought those for me, didn’t you?” Reddit / my_cat_is_a_jerk 11. “I was only trying to baptize him.” 12. Proof that cats are incredibly aggressive. 13. Buy him a new bed and he’ll sleep on the floor. Reddit / Laladef 14. “I’m over this glass of water.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI2_BTF’); }); 15. Cats can be so possessive. 16. Did he really have to scale my new white shower curtain? Reddit / kinghut11 17. Cats have no respect for anyone but themselves. 18. “Where do you think you’re going?” Reddit / Kal-El99 19. “Only one of us can have all Mommy’s love and attention.” 20. Always getting in the way. Reddit / mmmel 21. He can’t even get through a movie scene because of this cat. 22. You have a whole litter box. You’re just stealing the toilet paper to be a monster.
