Back in March, Comedian Kurt Braunohler pulled off a daring prank by hiring a skywriter with funds raised on Kickstarter to trace "How Do I Land?" in the sky above downtown Los Angeles. The message was apparently only visible for a short time before being swept away by winds but not before photographer Robyn Von Swank was able to snap the photo shown above. Yesterday, the picture managed to hit the front page of Reddit, reinvigorating interest in the crowdsourced gag. In an interview with The Huffington Post, Braunohler revealed that he is currently working on a nationwide stunt using billboards for one of his next big projects.

The cartoon character Bugs Bunny's line "Ehh, what's up, Doc?" from 1940 would now be arriving at the star Gienah 72.7 light years away and Lonely Island's 2008 hit song "I'm on a Boat" would have just traveled 4.242 light years to the red dwarf Proxima Centauri.

Despite 33.3 million paying customers, a recent analyst's report suggests that approximately 10 million people are watching Netflix without paying for it. While the company's stocks has risen 64% this year, they reported 2 million new signups in the first quarter of 2013, thanks to the release of their first in-house production House of Cards. While spokesperson Joris Evers has not given an official comment on future policy changes, the policy currently states that up to six devices can stream from one account.
