Fifty Nerds of Grey is the sexy Twitter fiction you’ve been waiting for
Because nothing is sexier than Moss from the IT Crowd talking about operating systems. Nothing.
Some absolute genius has taken the clearly very unsexy book, 50 Shades of Grey (you might have heard of it. It’s a book and film franchise about contract negotiations and helicopters) and sexed it up. With the power of nerdiness.
And Richard Ayoade, the definitive sex symbol of the modern world.
50 Nerds of Grey is a Twitter feed that reimagines the exchanges between Ana Steele and Christian Grey, if Christian Grey was a self-professed nerd whose playroom contained plenty of Lego and Dr Who DVDs.
It’s brilliant.
Because nothing is sexier than a good reboot.
A zoo is auctioning off paintings created by animals
Getting paid to work as a creative can be tough. Really tough.
You’ll probably end up selling out, and spend your days in recreations of your homeland, entertaining children and cutesy couples on dates.
But these animals prove that one day, you will make it. You can follow your dreams.
Oakland Zoo is finally letting its animals fulfill their creative potential, creating an online auction to sell the paintings created by their most talented residents.
Proceeds will go towards conservation, so you’ll get the pride of helping to protect animals, as well as supporting the work of struggling artists just trying to make it big.

27 stupidly lazy things we’re all guilty of doing
You might think of yourself as a semi-productive functional member of society, free of your lazy past, but you are wrong.
Deep down, you are lazy. We all are.
At some point in your life, you have taken the road of minimum effort, and done some ridiculously lazy things.
Even Anna Wintour has done these things. Probably.
1. Deciding to shove a food item that’s entirely too big into your mouth, whole, because taking multiple bites seems like a lot of work
2. Hitting the snooze button for an entirely essential extra 20 minutes of sleep… after a full 8 hours.
3. Seeing a belonging about to fall to the ground, knowing you could probably save it, but sitting, doing nothing, and forlornly watching it fall
4. Genuinely feeling entitled to a long relaxing break after doing an hour or so of work. You’ve earned it.
