Memory : Sensory Deprivation
The movie "Skyfall" led to a 400% increase of straight edge razor sales!
The scene in Skyfall where Daniel Craig is shaved with a classical razor lead to a 400% increase of straight edge razor sales.
During the scene, British actress Naomie Harris gives Daniel Craig's 007 a close shave using a cut-throat razor, whispering in his ear: "Sometimes the old ways are the best."
As well as experiencing the 405% increase in sales, online retailer The Shaving Shack has also seen a 123% increase in web traffic since the film was released in the UK, and traffic from internet searches for "cut-throat razor" and "straight razor" has soared by a staggering 735%.
James Bond always knows how to pump up the audience!

Every Year Of Your Twenties, Ranked From Worst To Best
Twenty-three is the worst year. If you’re 23, I’m sorry. You’ll make it.
Age 23
Sorry, 23-year-olds, but this year is total shit. You’re a year or two removed from college and reaching a legal drinking age, but you’re not mature enough to have actually figured out what you want to do with your life. Drinking and partying is getting old, but you’re equally bored by staying home. Basically everything is terrible. Ask a bunch of over-30 people what the worst year of their ‘20s was and they will inevitably tell you that when they were 23, everything fell apart and they had no idea who they were anymore or WTF they were doing with themselves. Be strong, better years are coming.

Age 20
Being 20 is the purgatory of life. You are no longer a teen but no one treats you like an adult either. You can join the army, vote, date a 40-year-old (don’t), buy porn, smoke cigarettes, you probably even pay taxes — but you can’t DRINK (legally). Three-hundred sixty-five days of waiting to turn 21. Have fun with that. :(
Age 26
As one of my coworkers just said, “26 is the year that you wake up and realize someday you’re going to die.” Twenty-six is a mortality year — you’re now closer to 30 than you are to 20, and it’s when you first experience genuine pressure to settle down and, like, have your shit together already. This is the year of most people’s dreaded “quarter-life crisis,” and with good reason. You’re going to die someday, and you’re one year closer to it.

Age 24
Nothing really happens when you’re 24. You’re a little too old to be magically young and alive and all "YOLO," but a little too old to be jaded and apathetic. You just are. It's OK.

Nintendo was sued by two boys who said Pokemon caused their gambling addiction!
Pokémon, one of the largest entertainment franchises in history, has routinely come under criticism for various themes that people do not agree with. Some are relatively sound in their allegations, others are completely ridiculous.
Some Christians have claimed Pokémon goes against the teachings of the bible by promoting the concept of “Pokémon evolution,” in which the creatures level up. While this is completely ridiculous, perhaps no allegation is more ridiculous than the claim by two boys in 1999.
Two nine-year-old boys, with their parents, sued the company because they claimed constantly searching and spending money on different Pokémon cards promotes gambling! They even said that the kids are already addicts and their lives are ruined!

The Ironman Triathlon was created to settle an argument!
The title of the most athletic person in the world is one that will probably never be given out, yet ways to settle the debate have been put forward since ancient times. Perhaps one of the most famous recent ones is the Ironman Triathlon!
Created in the late 1970’s, the original idea arose from an argument during the awards ceremony for the O’ahu Permiter Relay where many different runners and swimmers were present.
While the two groups argued over which took more athletic skill, someone reminded the group that Sports Illustrated had recently declared the Belgian Cyclist Eddy Merckx held the record for highest oxygen uptake, making him the most fit man in the world.
One thing turned in to another and eventually a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bicycle race, and a 26.2 mile marathon were the result to settle the matter!

Freeport High School has a PRETZEL for a mascot!
All high schools throughout the U.S. Have a special mascot that represents several values, depending on the school.
The city of Freeport, Illinois, holds a high school whose current mascot is somewhat unique and out of the ordinary: A pretzel. How did the Freeport High School athletic teams become known as the pretzels?
In an 1895 article, the Daily Democrat referred to Freeport as "The Pretzel City". It seems that there were many German bakeries in the city, and according to historians, the Billerbeck Bakery, established in 1881, was the greatest producer of pretzels.
Thus Freeport became known as the Pretzel City, and Freeport High's athletic teams began to be referred to as the "Pretzels".

Facebook Data Reveals How Weirdly Racist We Are When It Comes To Online Dating
Apparently, though, Asian women are preferred by everyone.
The following statistics come from the people at Are You Interested, one of the largest Facebook-based dating apps. The AYI app is a lot like Tinder. It allows users to browse, message, and tell other users if they like them or not. The AYI data team have been measuring user interaction and some of the results pertaining to race are really interesting:

For Everyone Who Has Had Their Own Personal "Come To Jesus" Moment With One Direction
I have finally seen the light.
Background: I am a 26-year-old gay man. I live in New York City and work at this website called BuzzFeed. I wasn't a very religious person until something that can only be described as a "divine gay intervention" happened. I am now in the know and am blessed.
This is my journey. This is my story. I write this in hopes of inspiring other One Direction fans to come out of the closet.
Liberate yourself.
The first time I saw One Direction, they were basically a group of puffy nippled pre-pubescent British tweens. Ew, I know. But it's true.

I didn't get the hype. They were basic. I am also not a pedophile. I don't like tweens. I do not like puffy nipples.

I personally felt their FHP* was low and also who knows what would happen to them? Puberty can be such a horrible bitch.
*Future hot potential.

5555 means LOL in Thailand!
Imagine you and someone from Thailand are chatting somewhere and sometime on the Internet. Imagine that, in the course of the conversation, you, and this may require some extra imagination say something utterly, awesomely hilarious.
Out of nowhere, you see your new friend just sent you “55555”. You ignore it, then you say something funny again and you get another “55555”.
What it’s all this about? In Thai, the number 5 is pronounced "ha" so instead of saying "hahahahaha," Thai speakers will sometimes write "55555."
In another words, you should feel happy for making your new friend giggle! If you’d like to use a new shortcut for “HA” now you know that “5” can be used for the same purpose.
