Imagine a future chock full of unmanned vehicles, more commonly referred to by the ominous, near-Star Warsian term “drones.” Did your brain just go to a scary place, where missiles and James Bond lasers are raining down on us all? Well, you’re certainly not alone.
But what about the awesome side of the future? With jetpacks and whole meals in a single pill and robots that rub your feet after a long day of jetpacking! Drones can be part of that future, too, and they almost certainly will be — which of course won’t make them any less terrifying.

Frequency of the word “selfie” in the English language has increased by 17,000 percent in the past year, according to Oxford Dictionaries, which crowned the narcissistic love child of cellphone cameras and social media “Word of the Year 2013” on Monday. But it’s the rising frequency of selfies snapped from the wheel that concerns another venerable organization, AAA, the group formerly known as the American Automobile Association.
“Selfies are a relatively new phenomenon so we don’t have [traffic accident] data specifically related to selfies, but we do know any use of cellphones increases crash risk,” Sharon Gilmartin, a AAA analyst for traffic safety policy, told NBC News.

A 1969 painting by Francis Bacon set a world record for most expensive artwork ever sold at auction.
“Three Studies of Lucian Freud” was purchased for $142,405,000 at Christie’s postwar and contemporary art sale on Tuesday night. The triptych depicts Bacon’s artist friend.
The work sold after “6 minutes of fierce bidding in the room and on the phone,” Christie’s said in a statement. The price includes the buyer’s premium. Christie’s did not say who bought the painting.
The price surpassed the nearly $120 million paid for Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” which set a world record when it was sold at Sotheby’s in a 2012 sale.
The previous record for Bacon’s artwork sold at auction was his 1976 “Triptych.” That sold for $86 million in 2008.
Among other highlights scheduled to be auctioned at Christie’s is a bright orange-yellow and white oil painting by Mark Rothko. Reminiscent of a radiating sunset, the 1957 large-scale “Untitled (No. 11)” could fetch up to $35 million. In May 2012, Christie’s sold Rothko’s “Orange, Red, Yellow” for $86.8 million, a record for any contemporary artwork at auction.

If you want to get a preview of your future self, no need to seek a psychic. Just take a glimpse at your paternal grandmother.
Photographer Ulric Collette captured the uncanny resemblance between grandmother and granddaughter using members of his own family.
Collette explained his motivation for the striking image in an email to The Huffington Post.
“My mother’s name is Ginette, she’s 62, and my daughter’s name is Ismaëlle and she was 12 at the time the picture was taken. I made the photograph with the two of them because last summer I talked with a genetician who had the theory that grandchildren look much more like their paternal grandmother. I wanted to try it out with my family, and the result is pretty amazing!”

On a good day, art can be a portal to another dimension. On a great day, it’s a staircase to nowhere. Meet “Diminish and Ascend,” or as we like to call it, the infinite staircase.
Designed by New Zealand artist David McCracken, this magnificent illusion stems from the seashore in Bondi, Australia and rises up into the heavens above. Depending on the atmosphere and weather conditions, the stairway appears to reach beyond the clouds into the celestial realms overhead. It’s basically an M.C. Escher drawing in real life.

Vitamin D deficiency and autoimmune disorders
A study has linked vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk for cancer and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis MS, and lupus. Researchers found, through mapping vitamin D receptors binding throughout the human genome, that vitamin D deficiency is a major environmental factor in increasing the risk of developing these disorders.

Sleeping with the light on could lead to worse Zzs, a small new study suggests.
Reuters first reported on the study, published in the journal Sleep Medicine, which showed that sleeping with the lights on is linked with waking up more often in the middle of the night and having more shallow sleep. Plus, it seems to affect brain oscillations that are linked with sleep depth.
Ten study participants with healthy sleep patterns underwent two sleep sessions where they were monitored using polysomnography. In one of the sessions, they slept with the lights on, and in the other, they slept with the lights off. Reuters reported that the light came from a fluorescent lamp just a few feet away from the participants.
The South Korean researchers found that when the participants slept with the lights on, they had more shallow, stage 1 sleep and less slow-wave sleep, as well as increases in arousal during sleep. There were also changes to brain oscillations, “especially those implicated in sleep depth and stability,” they wrote in the study.

We already know that the spiders from Mars are real — but has the NASA rover Curiosity picked up real evidence of extraterrestrial life on the Red Planet?
Conspiracy theorists think so. Some of these photos — taken by the Curiosity over the past year and on other missions to Mars — look a lot like rocks. Some of them look a lot more peculiar, like the “iguana” found earlier this month. All of them are the stuff of Internet legend, and many believe that NASA is hiding something.

What began as a game of trivia last summer at Two Rivers Steak and Fish House in Pasadena ended with a Severna Park man trying to kill his mother.
Nicholas Perrin, 28, of the 200 block of Evergreen Road, pleaded guilty last week in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court to first-degree assault for the violent attack on his mother, Joy, in July. His sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 15.
Perrin told police he wanted to kill his mother and himself that night after his mom said she wanted to leave the trivia game early, according to charging documents. There had been an argument over the answer to a question just prior to the attack, charging documents state.
Perrin had long felt ill-will toward his mother, he told police. After losing his job that week, Perrin told investigators he felt he had nothing to stop him from killing her. He was suffering from depression at the time.
