I made the exact same face as Dr. Spengler above when I stumbled upon the awesomeness that is Velvet Geek, a website dedicated to the wonderful black velvet art of Bruce White. Take a look at Bruce's latest paintings here: Link - via Change The Thought  |
| Posted: 05 Sep 2011 02:07 AM PDT I know you guys like tree houses based on how many of you comment every time we share links like this, so I’m really happy to get to share this great collection of tree houses with you guys.

| Infinity Tentacles For The Lovecrafian Mathematician Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:59 AM PDT There’s not much to say about this infinity tentacle other than it was created by DeviantArt user Andrew Strauss and that it is so delightfully geeky that it had to be featured here on Neatorama.

| 6 Pyschology Myths Everyone Believes Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:55 AM PDT Have you ever been told that you need to let your anger out or it will explode? As it turns out, that’s completely wrong. Cracked has a great list of psychology myths everyone believes that are utterly and completely wrong. Be warned, some of the language is NSFW. |
| The Weirdest Buildings On Earth Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:50 AM PDT There isn’t too much info on all of these amazingly weird buildings over on Bored Panda, but the name of each building is there if you want to learn more about the places. For example, this is The Crooked House in Poland. |

| Pencil Drawings That Look Like Pictures Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:38 AM PDT Artist Paul Chiappe has a lot of talent when it comes to making pencil drawings, enough talent that he can actually make his drawings look like blurry vintage photographs. Enjoy more of his impressive works over at Flavorwire. |
| How To Make Your Own R2D2 Helmet Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:30 AM PDT With a little masking tape, spray paint and a bit of PVC pipe, you too can take any boring helmet and make it an awesome R2D2 helmet. If I still played roller derby, I’d be on top of this right now. Link Via Geeks Are Sexy |
| A Real Life Pip Boy From Fall Out Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:24 AM PDT It takes some seriously impressive skills to make a working replica like this amazing Pip Boy as seen in Fall Out. Via Geeks Are Sexy |

| Judge Mocks Attorneys with Court-Ordered Kindergarten Party Posted: 04 Sep 2011 08:04 PM PDT US District Judge Sam Sparks was utterly disgusted by the behavior of attorneys for both sides on a case, and so issued a formal order compelling them to attend a “kindergarten party.” More likely, though it was a stern lecture on professional courtesy and decorum. The attorneys responded by resolving their dispute, and the party was cancelled. Court Document and News Article -via Lowering the Bar | Note: image edited for space |
| Watch All Three Star Wars Movies at the Same Time! Posted: 04 Sep 2011 07:46 PM PDT (Video Link) You could do this with three different screens, but YouTube user redstarfutbol (may his name be lauded with glory forever), has made it much easier by loading each movie into a single video. What hidden meanings can now be found? -via Theresa Coleman |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2011 07:34 PM PDT Darren Pearson, a light painter, composes images with a light source, such as a flashlight, and a camera with a very low shutter speed. Recently, he made a set of detailed dinosaur images using this technique. Would you like to try it yourself? Check out the video tutorial and learn how to do it.

| Posted: 04 Sep 2011 07:23 PM PDT For his project entitled “Live Free or Die”, artist Dan Tague folded dollar bills so that letters spell out messages. The name is the state motto of New Hampshire, as well as a line from John Stark, an American Revolutionary War general. You can view nine other folded bills from the project at the link.

| Can Social Media Hipster Save Myspace? Posted: 04 Sep 2011 06:31 PM PDT
Forget Justin Timberlake! You know who can "bring sexy back" to Myspace*? According to this clever webcomic by Matt Melvin of Cyanide and Happiness, it's social media hipsters. After all, bell bottoms came back, so why not vintage social networking? *Yes, folks - they're previously MySpace, now Myspace ... that website's not only gradually losing capital, its also losing capital letters) |

| Posted: 04 Sep 2011 05:29 PM PDT The Buffalo nickel, which was released by the US Mint in 1913, had a buffalo on one side and a nameless Native American on the other. Due to the hardness of its nickel-copper alloy, it was well-suited for carving. So many Americans worked designs and images into the surface. During the Great Depression, this practiced reached its zenith as unemployed, wandering men carved their own nickels in the hope of selling them for something greater than five cents. The tradition thrived for a generation, and surviving hobo nickels are prized by collectors. Read all about this craft at Appalachian History. |

The results? A wonderful compendium of Tom's friends and family's reactions to the good news (or in the case of Harwin to the left, who hates children, not so good news). From My Modern Met:

What? You think that great cosplay costumes can only be found at Comic-Con? Well, take a look at the gallery of Dragon*Con cosplayers over at Geeks Are Sexy. If I had to pick my favorite, it'll be the Steampunk Dalekettes above, because if your toilet got clogged, they've already got the tools to "unplug-erate" your drain!

As an art experiment, Julie Kim put a coffee table in a bus stop in Koreatown, Los Angeles, and filmed the results from a distance: The table—set with a newspaper and a vase of flowers—becomes a hub of interaction for the corner. People not only flock to the table, they end up talking to each other about it. Kim says she was surprised to see so many serendipitous moments in what amounted to only eight minutes of video. "The number and variety of people milling about—workers, kids, the elderly, of every ethnic group—surprised me," she says. "I thought I'd have to shoot for at least an hour to capture anything worthwhile." |

Wired recently released this great chart of the most popular flavors of Girl Scout cookies and while it’s interesting and looks great, more than anything else, it just makes me want some Samoas. Is your favorite in the top 5 or in the “other varieties” section?
Our favorite ad-free Blog (and the largest ad-free blog in the world), PostSecret.com, has just released their first iOS app! We’re so excited for them, we’ve decided to let you in on OUR little secret: To celebrate the app release, we’re giving away not one, not twooo, but three Postsecret books! (Insert wild rejoicing, fanfares, angelic singing, etc!)
Charlotte Baker had a flat tire and pulled off to the side of the road between Byfield and Boddington in England. While the 28-year-old Baker, who is nine months pregnant, called her boyfriend for help, two men stopped and began to change the tire on her Porsche 911
You may be familiar with Claus von Stauffenberg, who conspired to kill Hitler with a bomb and whose plot was the basis for the Tom Cruise film Valkyrie. But do you know about the many other attempts on Hitler’s life? One involved Georg Elser, who worked alone for a year on a plan to destroy the Fuhrer, with a bomb planted in a beer hall.
Television has controlled our mind for long enough! The engineers at Haier have turned the table on the boob tube. 
When photographer Tom Robinson found out that he was going to be a dad, he not only told his friends and family, he photographed them, too.
Can this be the scientific basis for vampires staying young forever? Researchers at Stanford studying the effect of the age of blood donors have discovered something quite interesting (in mice, anyhow):| You are subscribed to email updates from Neatorama To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
