trolling your own footy team! who said the germans don't have a sense of humour...

Last March, fans of German football club FC Magdeburg helped their players find the goal during the match against Berliner AK ’07 by pointing giant arrows towards the net. This happened after Magdeburg remained scoreless for five consecutive matches.

Gabby Douglas’s Beam Performance Gives Us The Defining Photo Of The London Olympics Erik Malinowski "I'm just not certain how sports photography gets any better than this. Greg Bull of the Associated Press deserves every Sports Photo of the Year Award coming his way in a few months' time. Gabby Douglas gave a historic performance today in the women's gymnastics all-around, and this is a photo worthy of that accomplishment." AP photo by Gregory Bull

hey did ya miss world middle finger day? me too...

World Middle Finger Day on August 1 What a wonderful freedom we have: the freedom to object. Protests brought down the iron curtain. Protests brought about the Arab Spring. Technology has enabled us. We share our annoyance and our outrage with everybody, everywhere. It is an effective vehicle for change. Locally and globally. It's a freedom we should cherish. That's why we are initiating World Middle Finger Day, using as our symbol the universal gesture for discontent, for protest. Let us celebrate this freedom: whatever it is, big or small, on August 1, give'em the finger. No Hate-policy: We distance our efforts from any such behavior and will eliminate any comment or contribution which we deem to be hate-mongering. Monies from sales will go to a fund to support peaceful protesters. Spread the word and follow us on Twitter and Facebook to see the unique ways people all over give the middle finger. Also have a look at our official anthem, the World Middle Finger Song, on youtube. http://www.facebook.com/WorldMiddleFingerDay http://twitter.com/middlefingerday

Earth Time Lapse from richardwaghorn on Vimeo.

Earth Time Lapse by richardwaghorn A time lapse journey round the Earth, first during the day and then through the night - day time passes over Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and California / Mexico, and night time passes over the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, the USA, Canada and the Atlantic Ocean. Several night sequences feature the fabulous Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and watch out for the Milky Way, and thunderstorms at night over mid-West USA. Photograph sequences were taken by the crews of Expedition 30 and Expedition 31 on board the International Space Station (ISS) between December 2011 and June 2012.

what's that sound revealed...it's a freakin walrus of all things @corksredfm

go E.T. who just turned 30 in june :)

so just how bad are the spanish national team olympic uniforms? you decide... @corksredfm

Taken from theage.com.au: Few Australian athletes liked the green, white and grey Olympic opening ceremony uniforms in Athens eight years ago. But no one dared voice that opinion in public. The Spaniards in London are a smidge ballsier.
Either that, or their 2012 uniforms are on such a level of sartorial awkwardness that the athletes were compelled to voice their displeasure. Because, while the Jamaicans are being lauded for their laid-back urban threads - designed, no less, by Bob Marley's granddaughter - and the French will at least look dignified, if a little staid, in cropped midnight-blue jackets and white trousers, the Spanish have been roundly condemned for putting their athletes in red and yellow concoctions of flame motifs and filigree-patterned polos. And the condemnation has come from within, as a number of athletes hinted heavily at their displeasure on social media. "At home trying on my Olympics outfit. It is best if I don't voice an opinion, I will leave it up to you ..." Beijing sprint canoe gold medallist Saúl Craviotto said on Twitter a week ago. It was the accompanying picture Craviotto uploaded that told the full story. The 27-year-old resembled a miserable mid-90s fast-food restaurant employee in a polo shirt and Espana cap, clutching a red and yellow backpack in his hands. Hockey player Alex Fàbregas, a silver medallist in Beijing, was rendered speechless on the issue of the Russian-designed Spanish kit. "Olympic equipment, there are no adjectives ..," he said. But it was former world No.1 tennis player Carlos Moya who put the bluntest point on it, saying in a Tweet republished more than 200 times: "Looking forward to seeing [tennis player] Feliciano Lopez wearing the official Olympic uniform. He'll never have worn anything so ugly in his life."
"The outfits are what we have, we cannot change them now, and were decided upon more than a year-and-a-half ago," Blanco told Spanish media last week. "When you measure the difference between paying one and a half million euros of public money and free clothes, there is no discussion."
