This photo shows a tattoo on the chest of a really dedicated yuppie. This guy likely grew tired of paying $50 for an Izod Lacoste polo shirt, so instead he branded himself with the iconic alligator logo. The best part is he even included the registered trademark in the lower right, so he’s truly a walking billboard.

Amazing Real-Life MacGyver Moments

MacGyver

MacGyver is a television series that ran from 1985-92 and featured the laid-back, extremely resourceful secret agent MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson.  MacGyver favored brain over brawn in order to solve desperate problems using common items, along with duct tape and his Swiss Army knife.  MacGyver’s ability to improvise complex solutions in life-or-death situations in mere minutes was a major attraction of the show.

Rubik Cube

The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian Professor Erno Rubik.  It launched worldwide in 1980 and became the world’s best-selling toy ever with over 300 million sold.

The Rubik’s Cube has 43 quintillion (43,252,003,274,489,856,000) possible configurations and only ONE solution.  If you made a single turn of the Cube every second, it would take you 1,400 million million years to go through all possible configurations (or 100,000 times longer than the universe has existed).
