This Week in WTF, May 2, 2014

– That’s, uh, subtle: Here’s a dress that supposedly becomes transparent when some electronic doodads detect that the wearer is becoming aroused. It’s from the not-all-all-pretentious-sounding INTIMACY 2.0 project (video more or less SFW):

I have two thoughts on the matter: (1) It looks profoundly uncomfortable, and (2) it looks like it’s made of the same material as overhead transparency sheets. Not seeing the “sexy” here.

– Kill it with fire!: (Wasp nest + wooden statue) × several years = nightmare fuel. You know what to do.

– Good guys with guns?: A group of male strippers tackled a gunman, wrestled him to the ground, and held him until the police arrived after they allegedly found they guy going through their costumes backstage. (I used “guns” as a double entendre. Get it?)

– In snake, no one can hear you scream: A snake chowed down on a centipede. The centipede, who wasn’t quite dead, chowed its way back out of the snake in another edition of nightmare fuel.

– Mmmmmm, soup……: What would happen if the greatest oceanic predator of all time were still around today? Lots of soup, apparently.

A group of marine biologists watched the new Syfy movie Mega-Shark vs. Mecha-Shark, which made them wonder what would happen if megalodon actually were alive today. Likely, it would be hunted to near-extinction for its fins — which would, they estimated, make 70,456 bowls of shark fin soup.
