| Walking Across The Wal-Mart Parking Lot When….WTF?! Posted: 07 Apr 2012 04:45 AM PDT Either the owner of this car is in a competition to see who can eat the most McDonald’s, they’re trying to build a passenger out of used fast food wrappers so they can drive in the carpool lane, or they’re starring in a new reality show called Car Hoarders. Whatever the case, this person obviously knows how to live the high life! I bet there’s a Burger King party happening in the back seat, and the two are kept separate so another Burger War doesn’t take place between the Brits and the good ol’ U.S. of A. Go Team Ronald!  |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2012 04:24 AM PDT If you’ve ever had a grumpy kitty then you can surely identify with this video, even if you can’t stand the pop-punk tune itself. Be Warned: There is some minor NSFW language at the end, but that’s one thing kitty does like so it has to be there. |
| Photoshopped Image Of Russian Patriarchate Posted: 07 Apr 2012 03:53 AM PDT Apparently, the Russian Orthodox Church doesn’t want the world to know that they’re shot callers and big ballers, so they decided to manipulate the image above in order to remove the $30,000 watch from the Patriarchate’s wrist. Russian knowledge of Photoshop must not be up to snuff, because they forgot to remove the reflection of the watch from the table, so the controversy ensued. When asked for an explanation, the watch’s existence was denied and the Church vowed to look into this “technical mistake”. The real mistake is that the Patriarchate is forced to greet the public without his pimp chalice and medallion chain! |
| Looking for A New Business Idea Posted: 07 Apr 2012 03:13 AM PDT Have you ever thought that you could surely strike it rich if you could just come up with the perfect idea for a new startup company? Well, Nonstartr can help with that since it randomly generates ideas for new startups.

| Life Size Figures Made Out Of Trash Posted: 07 Apr 2012 02:51 AM PDT If you’ve ever called someone a “piece of trash”, wait until you see these sculptures of trashy people made by Will Kurtz, and by trash I mean they’re made out of garbage for a truly realistic look. Will obviously drew some inspiration from the website People Of Wal-Mart, and from people he spots lurking around the streets of New York on his journeys through the urban jungle. The sculptural versions of these trashy people are a bit scary, and they look as if they’ve just crawled out of the nearest dumpster, but I’m glad Will has so many colorful people around him to inspire some truly great works!

| 7 Stories of 7 Incredible Siamese Twins Posted: 07 Apr 2012 02:06 AM PDT Just about everyone is familiar with Chang and Eng as they are by far the most famous of all Siamese twins, but there’s still probably plenty of information you didn’t know about these two brothers. For example, the term “Siamese twins” was actually based on them. There’s also a chance you know someone related to them:

| Keep Your Kittens Locked Up This Sunday Posted: 07 Apr 2012 12:51 AM PDT Have you ever wondered why your kitty is so crazy? It might be the nature of cats, or it could just be because the Easter Bunny messed with him one too many times. That’s why you really ought to keep your little furball locked up this Easter. After all, even if he doesn’t take out the bunny like Mittens did, the Easter Bunny could just as easily torment your kitten even more, making him even more insane. |

| Sorry To Hear Your Toe Got Needled Posted: 06 Apr 2012 08:05 PM PDT Sorry to hear your toe got needled is a strange little animated short that starts out stop motion and ends in traditional 2d style, and it all centers around a man’s strange story about his injurious trip to the hospital. It’s cute, it’s a cartoon, and even though watching it probably isn’t covered by your HMO I won’t tell if you don’t! –via Drawn |

| New Clamp for Traumatic Wounds Inspired by a Hairclip Posted: 06 Apr 2012 03:05 PM PDT Dr. Dennis Filips, a retired surgeon in the Canadian Navy, saw a lot of traumatic wounds in Afghanistan. He figured that there had to be a better way for troops to stop blood loss immediately after a wound. So he developed a hinged clamp that snapps over a wound. Needles anchor it in place as the clamp holds the wound together and reduces blood flow. Watch a simulation video at the link. Link and Product Page -via OhGizmo! |

| Back to the Future, Part 3: The Silent Film Posted: 06 Apr 2012 02:48 PM PDT (Video Link) Because the third movie in the trilogy was set in 1885, the premise works really well.

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, a strategic bomber used by the US Air Force, first flew in 1952. The last one produced, Tail No. 1040, left the factory in October, 1961. It and nearly a hundred others are still in service:

When Encyclopedia Britannica announced 
James Cameron’s dive to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench took him seven miles below sea level. Why is this abyss so deep? There are at least three contributing reasons that come together.
Thousands of soldiers were wounded during the Battle of Shiloh on April 6, 1862 -150 years ago today. Medics on both sides were overwhelmed, and some of those wounded had to wait quite some time for treatment.
One street in the city of Timisoara, Romania, has two automatic teller machines that are all but unusable. One is in a wall six feet off the ground, requiring customers to bring their own step stools in order to use it. The other, just across the street, is so low that customers must kneel on the sidewalk to use it. A consumer group representative said,
