Good to know if the yelling about food thing doesn’t work out, Guy Fieri can fall back on his muffler work.
Jack White Plays Record in Space
Jack White is responsible for the first record to ever be played in space. A pretty impressive achievement, especially for someone who is all about analog. They used a high altitude balloon to launch the the turntable that played a 2010 version of Carl Sagan’s “A Glorious Dawn.” UPROXX has more on what went down HERE.

Please Welcome Will Smith… x4
Last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Will Smith was on in support of his new movie, Suicide Squad, being released on August 5th. This wasn’t a normal appearance though for Will Smith, not only was he introduced normally by Jimmy once, but he was introduced another 3 times in spectacular fashion. He was first introduced completely normal and then he was introduced again, and again, and finally one last time with it being the most epic entrance onto a talk show we have ever seen! Take a look for yourself down below and let us know what you think!
And We Thought Thunderstorms Were Scary
To be honest, thunderstorms in the Chicagoland area can get scary at times. Just seeing them roll in from the east with those dark ominous clouds can get anyone shaking in their boots. Unfortunately, I think that we may have found something that is just a tad scarier then a thunderstorm. Not only does it involve thunder and lightning, but it also has molten rock and ash along with the possibility of an earthquake before or after. Yes, I am talking about a volcano erupting and not only did it erupt, but it produced its own lightening at the same exact time! There was a video taken in Japan of the Sakurajima volcano in slow motion and not only can you see the exact moment it erupts, but also how it produces its own lightning! I think we should all be very thankful all we have to deal with here in the Chicagoland area that involves lightning are thunderstorms. You can check out the video below!
