This whale was spotted in the waters near Svalbard in Norway. We here at WIN do not recommend going all "Deranged Transcendental Protagonist" on it. Just saying.

These two guys were on Camano Island, Washington when a couple stole their boat and made their escape. Fortunately the thieves were caught because one of the boys was able to track them with a drone. Authorities were waiting on the next island to take the boat back and apprehend the criminals.

A video was recently released of a man on a Seattle metro bus fighting back against a gunman who was robbing everyone of their cell phones. Immersed in his own phone, it wasn't until the gunman flashed the weapon in his face that he jumped into action, taking the gun from his hands and tackling him to the floor.

Dan Lee, of Channel 8 News, was doing a live tv broadcast about a potential traffic jam related to Miley Cyrus visiting town when a man got into the studio and on camera demanded the newscaster broadcast 'real news', such as information about the Military Industrial Complex.

There are no words, really. Just Watch "Peewee" here put all of us to shame with his 90-year-old badassery:

Long story short: Mexican police attempt to stop a drug cartel leader before he can take off in his plane during a high speed chase. However, they have to do it in the most badass way possible.

Yesterday, George Zimmerman announced that he would be auctioning off the infamous gun used in the killing of Trayvon Martin as "a piece of American history". It did not take long for that auction to get pulled but Zimmerman managed to find a different website to host his auction after all.  

A troll on the internet wasted no time on vigilante justice though, going by the name of "Racist McShootface" and driving the price of the gun into the millions.

Eventually the troll account was disabled but it was enough to inspire other trolls to carry on his good work. Reportedly, the fake bid made it up to around $65 million. It's unclear if the trolls will ultimately shut down the auction or if it will go to the highest legitimate bidder. The website it is hosted on has made it clear that they do not manage the auctions that users host on their site.

So far the seemingly most legitimate bidder is Brez Morrell according to Gawker, who bid up to $485,000 before "Racist McShootface" derailed the proceedings. Also of note, and not particularly surprising, Brez Morrell's response to trolls was to defend Zimmerman and tell trolls that he (or she) hopes their "children get murdered". Awesome. 

Jean Francois showed off these cleats, which depict Darth Vader and Kylo Ren to the eager eyes of the internet today. Francois plans on hitting the gridiron tonight against the Eagles, sporting these flashy new cleats. Let's just say the force is strong with this one. Lightsabers not yet NFL approved though.
