No Shirts
ImprovEverywhere.com
Led by actor-comedian Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere is a loose collective of pranksters producing chaos around the city since 2001. In a previous missions, a horde of IE agents invaded a Best Buy wearing khaki pants and blue polo shirts, to the great confusion of the store’s customers and identically dressed staff. This time, Todd sends 111 shirtless male agents to browse at the Fifth Avenue Abercrombie & Fitch, notable for its shirtless male-model greeter and beefcake-themed decor. Prepare to get hooked on the site; the “No Pants” series is also amazing.
History of Religion
MapsofWar.com
A perfect refresher for those of us who slept through World History, “History of Religion” condenses the last 5,000 years into a 90-second animated timeline. It traces the geographic evolution of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, showing where and when each began, how they spread and where intersections caused violent conflicts. Watch as Islam’s supercharged expansion, beginning in the sixth century, is eventually outflanked by tenacious Christian missionaries of Christianity. Who said learning can’t be fun?
