Hello Kitty Wants To Predict Your Future Posted: 02 Apr 2012 03:42 AM PDT Because nothing says “super natural”  and “occult” like Hello Kitty. From what I hear they’re fairly accurate, but only after you spill the blood of a virgin unicorn on them first, otherwise the cards are just nonsense. Oh Hello Kitty, is there anything that you won’t put your name on? Link Via Kotaku

Greetings From Prince Harry Posted: 02 Apr 2012 02:29 AM PDT When you hear the name Prince Harry, you might be tempted to think of Princess Di’s youngest son, but why bother wasting your time with the royal family when you could look at these adorable pictures of a pygmy hippo bearing the same name? Unfortunately, little Harry’s mother didn’t feel the same: The mother and calf were closely monitored, and after 5 hours of no feeding, the decision was made to pull the calf from its mom in the hopes of his survival. Harry was immediately weighed, wrapped in blankets and transported to the hand-rearing facility where he was fed. He is being hand-reared by very loving curator and caretaker, Toni Inggs. Both Harry and his mother in fine health and Prince Harry seems to be doing just fine on his own. Link

Easter Lamb Meatloaf Posted: 02 Apr 2012 12:01 AM PDT Aww, just look at that fluffy little lamb. Don’t you just want to slice its head open and start munching down? Or maybe you’re just not that into meatloaf. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d love to make this my new Easter tradition…as long as I still get to eat 20 deviled eggs with it that is.

Hand Painted Super Sonic Sneakers Posted: 01 Apr 2012 11:00 PM PDT Sure these hand-painted shoes by Reddit user lumpyheadedbunny look great, but for $350 per pair, I’d hope they actually give you Sonic’s super speed. To be fair though, each pair takes between 45 and 60 hours to complete, so they’re a bargain when you consider the man hours required to make them. Link Via Kotaku

So You’re Paragliding One Day, You Look Up, and See This Posted: 01 Apr 2012 03:20 PM PDT The website of the United States Powered Paragliding Association describes what could have happened if the carabiner had slipped just a little more: This pilot was quite close to a catastrophic situation on two fronts. One, a significant bump that unloaded that riser could have caused the riser to come completely out, leaving the pilot spiraling uncontrollably down on the remaining side. Two, the carabiner has dramatically less strength and a strong updraft could break it. Here’s my question: was this picture taken during or after the flight? If during, then, sir, the people of the Internet thank you for thinking of us first. Link (scroll down) -via reddit | Photo: Stefan Obenauer

April Fool’s Day on the Web Posted: 01 Apr 2012 03:02 PM PDT The site April Fool’s Day on the Web keeps track of pranks played by websites each year. The list for 2012 is growing by the minute!

And if you need some more laughs, check out their archives for internet pranks from previous years. Link (Image credit: Flicker user Dave Gough)

How to Make a Rainbow with a Shotgun Posted: 01 Apr 2012 02:55 PM PDT (Video Link) It’s a twofer — make a pretty rainbow and reduce the leprechaun infestation on your land.

Car Horns for the Demanding Standards of Mumbai Drivers Posted: 01 Apr 2012 02:17 PM PDT If you’re going to drive in Mumbai, you’ll have to be tough. And you’ll have to drive a car that will endure the challenges of that city’s roads and traffic. Mumbai drivers, apparently, honk their horns a lot. Enough that standard car horns on European cars aren’t up the job. That’s why German carmaker Audi has drastically raised its standards for car horns built for export to India. Audi representative Michael Perschke explained: "You take a European horn and it will be gone in a week or two. With the amount of honking in Mumbai, we do on a daily basis what an average German does annually." Perschke said the horns are specially adapted for driving conditions in India, a booming market where Audi is one of many foreign car brands competing for increasingly wealthy customers. "The horn is tested differently – with two continuous weeks of only honking, the setting of the horn is different, with different suppliers," he said. Can anyone who has been to Mumbai confirm what this article says about the use of car horns in that city? Link -via Marginal Revolution | Photo: Flickr user rickbradley

Walking on Air Posted: 01 Apr 2012 02:07 PM PDT Here’s a great shot taken at just the right moment as an airman jumps out of a HC-130 in Georgia. Superman can fly through the air, but this guy can walk on it. Link -via Gizmodo | Photo: Airman 1st Class Douglas Ellis, USAF

A Message from Your Feline Overlords Posted: 01 Apr 2012 02:01 PM PDT The cats have won! DeviantART has been conquered! And this is the guy behind the revolt: I am `MajorGeneralWhiskers. My hobbies include sleeping on your face, making claw-graffiti on leather couches, and seeing how far I can kick litter outside the box. I lead the Feline UpRising, also known as FUR. We’re an army of expert cat hackers and script kitties who have been working tirelessly to take over deviantART. We even reduced our sleep schedules to a scant 17 hours per day, and it’s all paid off. Now that we’ve seized control, we’ll be making a few changes to make things more to our liking. What do they want? Well, for starters, they want a lot more cat-related art on the site. Maybe you can help. Link -via Buzzfeed (Image credit: DeviantART member liquisoft)

Gandalf on a Skateboard Posted: 01 Apr 2012 01:46 PM PDT (YouTube link) Does not disappoint. -via I Am Bored

Hunger Games Mashup Book Covers Posted: 01 Apr 2012 09:47 AM PDT   If you got a kick out of The Hunger Games By Any Other Director, check out this re-imagining of The Hunger Games book by other bestselling authors! Artist Ray Kampf gave it the mashup treatment in book jacket form, using the style of other bestsellers. Imagine what the dialogue would be like if this story really was written by Jacqueline Suzann or Jackie Collins! Link

Welcome to the Crazy House Posted: 01 Apr 2012 09:34 AM PDT Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga wanted to create a house like no other on earth, and she did it. The Hang Nga Guest House in Da Lat, Vietnam, is more often called the Crazy House. No single picture can do justice to even just the exterior, so you should go see more of them at Kuriositas.

6 Times The Onion Had People Completely Fooled Posted: 01 Apr 2012 08:32 AM PDT The Onion, as most of you know, is a satirical news site that publishes fictional news stories that hits uncomfortably close to home. Every once in a while, some news outlet unknowingly uses it as a source, with major embarrassment to follow. Once the story hits a legitimate news site, it spreads like wildfire before its fictional roots catch up with it. Hundreds of people couldn’t wait to tell all their Facebook friends about this one: Possibly the greatest article confusion was over Planned Parenthood's alleged $8 billion "Abortionplex." The article included such gems as a banner reading "No Life is Sacred" and quotes from PP's president: "The Abortionplex's high-tech machinery is capable of terminating one pregnancy every three seconds…That's almost a million abortions every month. We're so thrilled!" The article went viral, in part because of how many people thought it was real. It was this article that led to the creation of Literally Unbelievable. So if you read the article in May of 2011 during the debate over the funding of Planned Parenthood, and you weren't familiar with The Onion, it might be a tiny bit understandable if you got confused. And it doesn’t have to be April Fools Day -you always have to look out for a possible Onion source. Link (Image credit: Flickr user Afraid of Ducks)

The Most Dangerous Race on Earth Posted: 01 Apr 2012 05:42 AM PDT The World BASE Race is not a race to the top, but to the bottom: 2,500 feet down a cliff! BASE jumpers from all over the world come to Rauma, Norway, to don wingsuits and compete, or just to watch. Unlike other BASE jumping competitions, this one is based on speed, with the winner being the one fastest to reach the bottom of the course in one piece.
