Seth Cohen Is on a Mission to Meet Every Other Seth Cohen in the World

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 01:50 AM PST

New York resident Seth Cohen is on an epic quest to track down and meet every single one of his namesakes in the world. The project, he says, isn’t so much about meeting his namesakes as it is about the road less traveled, living in the world, not just on it, connecting with people he would never otherwise connect with, visiting places he would never otherwise visit and experiencing things he would never otherwise experience.

"I am on a mission to meet every Seth Cohen in the world, live life to its fullest and inspire others to do the same," the globetrotter wrote on his website. "I don't know what I will find, but I'm excited to find out…" The name 'Seth Cohen' is apparently quite common, a fact that Seth realized a couple of months ago. "My last birthday was in September," he explained. "Everyone started posting on my [Facebook] wall, and this one woman that I barely knew said, 'Seth, my favorite person in the world, have an amazing birthday.' I was flattered, but I thought there is no way I am this woman's most favorite person."

So Seth snooped around and figured out that the woman, and four other friends, were connected with Seth Cohens on Facebook that weren't him. He was so intrigued by this that he spent weeks trying to find out just how many Seth Cohens were out there. He spent time combing Google, social media websites, and online White Pages, and the results were mind-boggling – he found that there are at least 300 other Seth Cohens in the United States alone!

Polish Tattoo Artists Create World’s First Inked Motorcycle

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 01:32 AM PST

While most modified motorbikes are adorned with tattoo motifs using an airbrush, The Recidivist is unique because its wheels, tank, seat and rear fender are completely covered in tattooed skin. This was achieved by engineering the bike with light colored leather similar to the color of human skin. Polish tattoo artists Tomasz Lech and Krzysztof Krolak then spent a whopping 250 hours inking the bike, using the tools of world-famous supplier Cheyenne Professional Tattoo Equipment. The project was commissioned by Game Over Cycles.

"This is by far the most complicated bike we've constructed so far," the Polish company posted on their Facebook page. "To tattoo the bike is one thing, but to include the construction elements that draw from the look of tattoo machines and make them fully operational units was some challenge." They also added that the theme of the Cheyenne Bike relates to the traditional relationship between motorbikes and tattoos.

Man Does a Good Deed Every Day for a Year

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 01:29 AM PST

26-year-old Luke Cameron has performed a good deed every day for an entire year, and he says that the exercise has completely transformed his life. The Cheltenham resident made the vow when a close friend died from cancer last year, and since then, he has been doing at least one nice thing every single day. He estimates that he has spent close to £3,000 ($4,700) on good deeds in the past year.

"In a world of taking selfies with your besties and Instagramming pictures of your new handbag and Rolex watch, we forget to think about anyone else but ourselves," he said. "Our generation has forgotten to care about others, because we are too self-obsessed to even care what others are going through."

Luke runs a website called TheGoodDeedDiary.com, on which he documents every single good deed or kind gesture – ranging from taking the trash out for his elderly neighbor, or baking cakes for his family and friends. He has also purchased meals for several people at McDonald's, and even paid for a stranger's petrol just because they stood next to him in the line. Luke now has over 12,000 followers on his corresponding Facebook page, and more than 6,000 followers on Twitter.
