There are some out there that may think the bed bug, one of the greatest pests to hit urban areas, isn’t as bad as you might think.

There are some who think that excessive heat is not the best way to combat bed bugs.

There are some people who think calling a professional exterminator might be the best option.

There are some who might think that burning a house down in order to end a long battle with bed bugs is a bad idea.

To them, we respectfully disagree. It might be a bit more unconventional than most, but we praise the New Jersey man that used the cleansing power of fire. Justice knows no limits.

Scientists have discovered the ancient evolutionary cousin of dude-bros: an armored fish with the world’s first set of abs. Oh, and it’s Australian.

They found preserved tissue remains of the Placoderm, an ancient jawed vertebrate fish from the Devonian period, nearly 420 (dude!) million years ago. It had armored plating and musculature so advanced that it’s not even found in modern fish — probably because it was on a constant Paleo diet, brah. However, it made sure to cross-train, so despite all those muscles, it also had a pronounced, articulate neck.

The Placoderm ruled the seas for 70 million years until a series of an environmental catastrophes wiped out their population. This paved the way for sharks, who still occasionally take a bite out of the fish’s be-abbed human equivalent out of sheer habit.

If you’re looking for something new to spice up your time in the bedroom, try something else.

In Japan, kids are getting into licking eyeballs, in a sexy way. Unsurprisingly, this is leading to an outbreak of eye infections and, yes, eye chlamydia. We’re not sure what eyeballs taste like, but it doesn’t seem like the sort of thing to get one going, in any case.

The worst would be licking someone’s eyeball before they take out their contact lenses.
