Someone Photographed The New "Star Wars" Film Set By Accident
The picture clearly shows a half-built Millennium Falcon.
Here is a half-built Millennium Falcon and an in-progress X-wing fighter on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, unwittingly photographed by a man taking publicity shots for a flying school.
Matthew Myatt captured Han Solo's ship – which can famously do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs – on Greenham Common in Berkshire while taking publicity shots for the Airbourne Aviation school in Hampshire.
It was only when he went through his pictures after landing that he noticed something "unusual".

I grew up with Star Wars but this is something I never thought I'd see in real life. It was a real shocker.
Meanwhile, we've already seen what the X-wing will look like in the film up close.

Make a boatload of vegetarian chili.
Beans + tomatoes + whatever vegetables are about to go off in the bottom of your fridge = a wonderful, possibly delicious concoction you can stretch over several meals. Lovely Jamie Oliver has a recipe you could attempt, or just experiment with whatever you have knocking about. Make sure you're buying your vegetables from the cheapest place in your neighbourhood – try smaller markets rather than big shops which individually wrap their produce.

Ellen Pompeo Doesn't See Herself Acting After "Grey's Anatomy"
“I don’t find acting terribly empowering,” the woman behind Meredith Grey said during BuzzFeed Brews with Facebook Live.
Ellen Pompeo revealed some shocking news at BuzzFeed Brews with Facebook Live on Wednesday: She plans to move on from acting once Grey's Anatomy comes to an end.
"I definitely don't have a strong desire to act after Grey's," Pompeo said as she sat beside Kerry Washington and Viola Davis, the two other leading ladies on Shonda Rhimes' Thursday night dramas. "I feel myself transitioning. I don't find acting terribly empowering. For the place I am in my life ... I don't necessarily want to work for other people."
Pompeo said her decision stems from feeling a sense of completion with her work on the hit ABC medical drama, which is heading into its eleventh season this fall. "With acting, I don't feel I have anything to prove anymore," she explained. "Grey's is in 97 countries or something, and we've had this blessing of all these wonderful fans who still love us 10 years later; I feel like we did it. And I don't have anything else to prove."
She continued, "I'd like to try and challenge myself. I feel like I got the acting thing. I would like to try and see if I could do something different, and be successful at something different. I feel like I'm very successful at acting, at my definition of success. Some other people want films or Oscars or whatever, and that's their journey. For my journey, I kind of feel like I did the absolute top of what I could do with television, and I would like to try a new sport and see if I'm any good at something else."

16 Fascinating Boob Facts That Will Change Your Life

Nipple stimulation = a closer bond with your sexual partner
Or at least that's what a 2012 study suggests! The study aimed to find exactly why men are attracted to breasts, and the answer they found is that it's a partial result of evolution. In that men have learned that by stimulating a woman's nipple, the woman is then more inclined to feel attracted and connected to her partner physically.
In fact, some women can achieve orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. (Awesome)
In a 2009 study, 29% of the 213 women studied had achieved orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. That's because women's brains process genital and nipple stimulation in the same exact way.

Men have nipples and breasts because all fetuses are female at first.
That's right! Every fetus starts as female, and it isn't until six weeks that testosterone starts to take hold. But even before that six-week mark, nipples and breasts are already part of the body.

Marvel's Editor-In-Chief Says It's "Impossible" To Not Sexualise Comic Book Characters
Axel Alonso admits to The Telegraph that male characters aren’t as sexualised as female characters, but that Marvel is “making efforts to change that trend as it exists.”
Marvel Comics has come under fire recently for their depiction and sexualisation of their female comic characters. The latest incident involved this variant cover of over of the Spider-Woman comic by Milo Manara.
Marvel's editor-in-chief, Axel Alonso, apologised for the variant cover, saying that Marvel "realize that the message this cover sent was not the one we meant to send. And we understand — and respect — the concerns of those who expressed a negative reaction to the cover, I want that to be clear."

You Can Now Buy Gothic Burgers With Black Buns In Japan
But why you would want to is another matter entirely.
Just when you thought everything that could be done with burgers had been done, Burger King Japan make these black ones.
As the press release says , the "Kuro" (meaning "black") burgers really are on sale in Japan and come in two varieties: diamond and pearl.
The black colour of the bun is achieved by using bamboo charcoal and squid ink is used for the black sauce. The burgers made their first appearance in 2012 (we deemed it one of the year's greatest fast food inventions) but have been brought back because people actually liked them.
The pearl could be yours for 480 yen (about £2.76). The press release, very roughly translated by Google, says it was "baked in juicy straight fire".
The diamond is a bit pricier at 690 yen (nearly £4). The press release, again badly translated says: "Vegetables is also a luxury item that can be firmly taken".
You'd better be quick though: they will only be available on a limited basis.
