Would you believe me? What if good-ol’-having-a-year-off-Mick Fanning was one of those surfers, and he told you that this wave had him haulin’ arse like an F1 driver down a strip of sand that never seemed to end. Would you believe him? This ain’t no f**king wave pool! This is the real world. This is The Snake.
In 2017 the Parsemus Foundation will be releasing Vasalgel: a contraceptive for men. If you’re a female and you’ve been on the pill all this time, you can look forward to sharing the responsibility with guys. The relief of not having to worry about unplanned pregnancy may seem too good to be true; however, a study is currently underway using baboons in the Parsemus lab in order to test the effectiveness of the product. So far, it has tested well, and is now being prepped for human studies, which according to their website, should be ready to be conducted early this year.
Boom, a gazillion. You’re rich. Boom, another gazillion. Anyone else want a backstory on his roommate too, perhaps a dedicated movie? Team Thor: Pt. 2, Where Are They Now? further explores the adventures of Thor during the events of Captain America: Civil War, with the mockumetary showing the God of Thunder living in Australia with a roommate named Darryl. Thor is having trouble paying rent (sorry, coins from Asgard don’t cut it), and he rebuffs Darryl’s suggestion to get a job. After all, he already has one — and it’s called saving the planet.

It started with minimal entries, but the Rotary RE-union has expanded to become one of the largest on track Rotary events in the southern hemisphere. It started in 2015 as a way for rotor heads to dust of their classic machines and meet up with likeminded individuals. Cars arrived from all over the North Island and some even traveled up from the South Island. A huge event that only grows in size every year. Want more? Visit the man behind the lens, Danny Wood Photography NZ on his Facebook page. He’ll be uploading a ton of photos online from the event shortly so stayed tuned for that!
The 20-day “Brains vs. AI: Re-Match” pits four professional poker players against a Carnegie Mellon University-designed bot named Libratus. Last year the humans picked up on its weird machine weaknesses and beat it soundly. So the scientists went back to the lab and rewrote its algorithm in a few key areas to make it unbeatable.
Several hundred New York City high school and college students walked out of their classrooms at noon on Tuesday to protest President Donald Trump and his executive order restricting travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations. Jesse Watters spoke to students gathered in Manhattan’s Foley Square to get to the bottom of why they oppose the travel ban.
Sunday’s premiere of The Walking Dead delivered what preview interviews promised: Rick attempted to recruit the various communities to rise up against Negan, we pitter-pattered through various locations instead of sticking with one and Rick smiled. But the moment to remember went back to the show’s bread and butter: killing zombies! In what may have been the most memorable slaughter of walkers in the show’s history.
