As you might have heard Adam Yauch died today, a victim of cancer. He was 47 and is survived by his wife and child.
Arguably the best of the Beastie Boys deep videography, Intergalactic is easily the most Weird Things of the bunch. Godzilla-inspired war between robot and sea creature gives way to Japanese subway rapping.
RIP MCA.

When our loved ones pass away we are often told that they will always be with us. Kim Mordue of Wales took that comforting advice a little too literally.
When her son passed away from a drug overdose, Mordue memorialized him in a most unusual fashion. She mixed the deceased’s ashes in with tattoo ink and had her husband give her a memorial tattoo with the mixture.
“I’ve put Lloyd back where he started,” she says, “he’s in my body again.”
This isn’t the first unusually artistic (and creepy) use of ashes in recent history. When former Marvel Comics editor Mark Gruenwald passed away in 1997 his final wishes were that his ashes be used for a limited-edition print run of Squadron Supreme, a comic he wrote in the 80’s.
Do you know any weirder ways people have used the ashes of the dead? Let us know in the comments!
