German Photographer Marcus Reugels takes pictures of water droplets refracting an image of a planet behind them, making them each appear to contain a lil world (prior: MC Escher droplet ). Aaaaaaah, we’re all gonna drown! Just kidding, but this does remind me of that cat in Men In Black that carries a whole galaxy around on its collar. Marcus sells prints of his work on his website and also takes requests in case you’ve got something special in mind. “I’m gonna get one of my penis!” Ha, I said special. BURN! Your girlfriend agrees though is the thing. Hit the jump for several more earths, a moon, Jupiter, Spider Man and Batman and a picture of his setup.

This is small series of Pokeballs imagined by DeviantARTist wazzy88 that hint at the type of Pokemon each contains. Okay, maybe not so much hinting at as blatantly stating. Can you guess which type would come out of this one? A firecrackers type! “That isn’t a type.” Oh yeah? Well YOU aren’t my type, so there! “Oh no, I’m totally crying.” You’re gonna be. “Why?” I burnt your house down! “WHAT?!” You started this. Hit the jump for two waters, an ice, a lightning and THE POKEBALL OF TIME.

This is a series of conceptual Evian water bottles designed by Mandy Brencys to look like both Star Wars characters AND lightsabers . Still, would you be willing to pay an extra $2 for a bottle of water that looks like a wookie-saber? Of course you would — look who I’m f***ing talking to. Evian Star Wars (on Marcy’s CargoCollective page) Thanks to PYY, who may or may yes be a water fairy. “Woodland.” She’s a woodland fairy.

Seen here looking suspiciously like a futuristic TNT detonator, The Airdrop is basically a dehumidifier for use outdoors that can pull water from the air, and use it to water thirsty plants . Which reminds me…*opening closet door* Have you learned your lesson, fern?! “Waaaaaaaaaaaater me.” *slams door* TWO MORE DAYS OF SOLITARY FOR NOT ADDRESSING ME AS GW, GIVER OF LIFE! With a deceptively modest design, Airdrop filters hot environmental air through a turbine, feeding it through a copper tubing system–with copper wool to maximize surface area–and into the earth where it cools and releases moisture. The dry air is then re-released into the atmosphere and the collected water pumped through semi-porous hoses to the plant roots. In his initial prototype, which was much smaller than the current design, Linnacre was able to produce a liter of water per day. Impressive, but a liter of water a day — that’s…not a whole lot for a bunch of thirsty plants in a drought. I’m afraid if they don’t wind up making these thing bigger you’re gonna have to choose just which weed plant you want to survive. This ‘air harvester’ pulls water from thin air in times of drought [dvice] Thanks to Harry, who agrees you should at least try a rain dance first.

According to some scientists, this is photographic evidence of flowing wa-wa on Mars . How they can assume it’s water and not acidic martian urine is beyond me, but I suspect it has something to do WITH NOT ADHERING TO THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Great, you’re gonna make us look like a bunch of astrologers. A sequence of images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show many long, dark “tendrils” a few metres wide. They emerge between rocky outcrops and flow hundreds of metres down steep slopes towards the plains below. They appear on hillsides warmed by the summer sun, flow around obstacles and sometimes split or merge, but when winter returns, the tendrils fade away. This suggests that they are made of thawing mud, say the researchers. Now I know what you’re thinking: “OMG — we should bulldoze the entire mountain range and build a water park!” Haha — fret not, my little water-winged friend, I’m already two steps ahead of you. *shows off hand-painted ‘WATER SLIDES ARE TOPPLES ONLY’ sign* “Um, what’re topples?” One more shot not from directly above after the jump.

These are actual photographs of water droplets falling in front of a print of MC Escher’s iconic ‘ Relativity ‘. There’s a shot of the reddit photographer Smsilton’s setup after the jump if you want to see how it was made, which, amazingly, didn’t involve trapping a wizard in an hourglass and forcing him to freeze time. Or did it? I SAID SHOW ME THE HOURGLASS! Oh God Gandalf nooooooooooooooo!! Hit the jump for the setup, which may or may yes have involved several stacks of CD’s.

Water Drop Falling In Front Of MC Escher Print

This is a brief clip from the Fox 5 San Diego morning news (the same studio from this April Fools’ prank ) of a guy opening the show with one of those water-powered jetpacks . Unfortunately, he opted to not take the training course prior to operation and ends up crashing into the dock. Theeeeeeeen the entire news studio laughs at him. Needless to say, Captain Woopsie Daisy won’t be getting his water wings pin anytime soon. Hit the jump for the woopsie-daisy in action. Also, Kevin Jonas : when we get our hands on one of these things, you get to go first.

F***in’ water — how does it work? This is a video of water doing its thing (being wet? I have no idea) at 7,000 frames per second . It…looks drinkable. The water that comes out of the tap in my apartment? Brown. It’s so bad it’s actually stained the floor of the bathtub. Or is that because I pee in it? The world may never know! (It’s because I pee in it, derder) Hit the jump for the hypnotic wa-wa in action.

Note: Video that you may have already seen is after the jump. Seen here looking colder than an Antarctic witch’s nips, Youtube user samantha683 prepares to throw a cupful of boiling water into the -30C (-22F) air and show you what happens. SPOILER: she accidentally hits the cameraman and melts his face off. No, no she doesn’t. The water just instantly turns to dust. Not real dust though because real dust is mostly dead skin cells and fly @$$holes — it just looks like dust. And you know what else looks like dust? Nothing, it’s pretty unique. Belly button lint isn’t though, which is how I managed to pack my navel with dingleberries and convince my girlfriend to pick them out. Hit the jump and watch the magic in action.

What exactly is a lift service? Is that like a tow truck? Because I do need my neighbor’s pedo-van towed again. Still, interesting business combo you’ve got there, Mega Man . But why only Canadian water? You know you’re hurting business by not offering any imported options, right? Because I only get my driveway sprayed with ancient Antarctic glacier water. Besides, that Canadian water Mega Man’s shooting doesn’t even look like clean. It looks… milky . See where I’m going with this? I peed in the coffee pot in your break room! Mega Man Only Uses Canadian Water [buzzfeed] Thanks to Rygar, who may or may yes run a yo-yo repair shop and salon.
