| Posted: In Spain, The Simpsons is so popular that the reruns are broadcast several times a day. It's no wonder a tavern owner wanted his establishment to be Moe's. But when the pull-down door is closed, Homer is upset! This picture was posted by redditor jparrai, who deleted a reference to the bar's location because he doesn't want any infringement trouble to come to the business owner. Link  |
| 25 Delightful Adaptations of Stormtrooper Costumes Posted: Stormtrooper costumes are so overdone that I rarely even take pictures of them when I see Comic Con, that's why it's always so refreshingly delightful to see someone inject some originality into the costume. Here's a gallery with 25 wonderful versions of the costume, including Iron Man, The Doctor and Muppets. |
| Building M.C. Escher with a 3D Printer Posted: Computer science researchers at Technion--Israel Institute of Technology found that they could design physical models of that resemble M.C. Escher's complex, impossible objects--provided that you look at them from the right perspective. They used a 3D printer to build them, such as the above model of Belvedere. |
| Beautiful Tropical Birds Created In LEGOs Posted:       Bird watching is a great hobby, but sometimes it's just so tiresome. That's why these gorgeous LEGO versions of tropical birds by Thomas Poulsom are just so delightful. It's like getting all of the beauty without any of the hastle of actually having to find living, breathing birdies. Link Via Laughing Squid |
| Morning Rush Hour on the Chesapeake Bay Posted: That's what redditor nwootten named this picture. Isn't it the loveliest rush hour you've seen all week? Link |
| Nutella Swirl Doughnut Muffins Posted: May I suggest some Nutella icing? And possibly some Nutella filling injected into the center? You can't be too careful. You won't want to end up insufficently Nutellad. Link -via Tasteologie | Photo: Baker Street |
| Some Actually Useful Dog Tricks Posted: I know, I recently claimed that this was the most useful dog trick ever, but for those who hate cleaning even more than they hate going to the fridge to get another beer, Jesse has you covered. Of course, if you manage to get a hold of a dog that masters all of these tricks, then you'll only have to get off the couch to go to the bathroom -hopefully that's one thing no one is lazy enough to train their dog to take care of.

| Posted: Dentists see this and think, "I could buy a boat!" Australian artists Nicole Andrijevic and Tanya Schultz, also known as Pip & Pop, made enormous fantasy landscapes using brightly colored candy. You can view more pictures at the link. Artists' Website -via MyModernMet |
| Posted: This past Wednesday, New York Times tech columnist David Pogue arranged for a summer resort to play a very special trailer before the scheduled movie. The very special trailer follows how he fell in love with Nicky and leads to a proposal. You can see Nicky's face as she begins to recognize their story in what she thought was just a movie preview. Aww. -via Laughing Squid |
| Caramel Apple & Cotton Candy Donuts? Yes, Please! Posted: What can a donut chain do to get people away from the state fair and into their shop? Offer donuts inspired by fair food, of course. That's why Krispy Kreme recently released two new flavors -caramel apple and cotton candy. Don't forget to wash it down with a cotton candy chiller or a caramel latte. Excuse me while I go put on some pants with a more stretchy waist. |

| Which 90s Nickelodeon Character Are You? Posted: If you get a squishy feeling in your heart when you think about All That, Rocko's Modern Life, Clarissa Explains It All or Salute Your Shorts, then you'll definitely love Flavorwire's infographic quiz that helps you identify which 90's Nickelodeon character you're the most like. I got Clarissa, which makes me feel fantastic since she was my hero when I was 10. |
| USS <i>Constitution</i> to Sail Once Again Posted: Launched in 1797, the frigate USS Constitution is the oldest vessel in active service in the United States Navy. Since 1881, it has sailed without the aid of tugs only once. Tomorrow, it will do so again to mark the 200th anniversary of its battle with HMS Guerriere:

| Posted: Any Twitter user knows that there are a lot of spam accounts. Some mainly post advertising Tweets; others are just accounts created to boost someone else's following. You can even buy Twitter followers. But now there's an app to find out how many of your followers are fake. PLUS you can find out how many of someone else's followers are fake. And that's just what Business Insider did -they analyzed the Twitter accounts of online celebrities who have record numbers of followers. They found huge numbers of those followers are fake accounts. Now, that doesn't mean the celebrity has been buying them; it could mean spam accounts tend to attach themselves to celebrities, or it could be a combination of both. I used my account as an example here, because I'm not a Twitter celebrity (and it shows). Link -via Metafilter |
| Lenticular LEGO Portrait Of Batman And Joker Posted: This awesome piece of optical LEGO art was created by Arthur Gugick, a man who had a vision of Batman and the Joker on the same piece of LEGO art then made his vision come true. Tilt it one way-you've got the Caped Crusader, tilt it the other way you've got Mr. Joker in all his glory. Arthur's superheroic work has added another angle to the world of LEGO art!

| Vintage Photographs of Chinese Women Posted: A collection of photographs at Environmental Graffiti gives a glimpse into the lives of women in China in the 19th century. About this photograph:
Customs and fashions varied from Formosa to Manchuria to the enclaves of minority tribes. Read about each with the photographs. Warning: bound feet. Link (Image source: Flickr user ralph repo) |
| The Bundle Of Creative Energy Known As DOMA Posted: The artist collective known as DOMA has created a wide variety of artworks, installations and lots of stuff that defies categorization since they first came together fifteen years ago. Today, their works add color and life to city streets as well as gallery walls, and encountering a DOMA "happening" is like bearing witness to a spontaneous eruption of psychedelic color. Check out the links below and you'll see just how colorful DOMA can be! Link --via Beautiful/Decay |

Photosynthesis, the process of by which light energy is captured from the sun and turned into chemical energy, as any school children know, is what plants do every day. But scientists have discovered that an animal that may actually be able to do it:

| Dave Cooper + Nick Cross = PigBoatBananaMantis! Posted: Dave Cooper is one of my favorite cartoonists, and Nick Cross is one of my fav modern animators, so the thought of these two guys working together on a new series called PigBoatBananaMantis! sends me straight to toon heaven! Watch the trailer for this whacked out new series and toon out everything else...it's totally worthy of your attention... |
| 16 Delightfully Fun Ways To Make Sushi Posted: Who doesn't love Hello Kitty sushi? Ok, so that's not really your thing? How about sushi that spells out the word "sushi?" There's even an Obama roll, if you're into eating presidential faces. However you enjoy your rice and fish treats, you'll certainly dig on these great rolls. |
| Concept Art For A Sandman Movie That Will Never Be Posted: Neil Gaiman's seminal comic book series Sandman changed the face of mature rated comic books forever, and made readers expect more from their illustrated storylines. A Sandman adaptation may not have made it to the big screen, but these beautiful concept art sketches by Jill Thompson live on. So peruse these drawings and imagine what could have been in the world of dreams... |
| Posted: You might argue that dogs can feel shame, or maybe they just seem to be particularly aware when you're angry with them. In any case, putting a sign on them to tell the world of their shame probably won't change the dog's behavior, but it does make for some funny pictures! The Tumblr blog Dogshaming collects those photos to share with the world. Oh yes, and it features the occasional cat, too. Submission are welcome, and critical comments will be posted for public shaming. Link -via Metafilter |

| An Old Timey Song Based On Bioshock Posted: It's The Bioshock Song, a new tune based on the video game Bioshock, which has a Big Band sound and really charming lyrics. Rapture may be gone, but Andrew Ryan's legacy lives on in song! --via Destructoid |
| Are These The Real Life Inspirations For My Little Ponies? Posted: We all know that John is a total Brony, but I don't even think he could handle these real life versions who were three-quarter Clydesdale and one-quarter French. I've gotta say, as someone who has been around plenty of real life horses, keeping these critter's manes and tails clean would be a nightmare. |

Are you afraid of the dark? Hulk smash the boogie monster away with the Hulk Night Light from the NeatoShop. This brilliant porcelain night light is perfect for transforming a scary room into a peaceful environment. Be sure to check out the NeatoShop for more incredible Hulk items and fantastic Night Lights. |
| Posted: Move over, Macarena. Here comes a new dance craze that's sweeping the world. Coming from South Korea, here's Gangnam Style by K-Pop musician Jae-Sang Park or "PSY." The song is in Korean, but I trust that the dance routine, which involves riding an invisible horse, has a universal appeal that requires no translation. Hit play or go to Link [YouTube, warning: Hip gyrations that would make Elvis blush] - More story about Gangnam Style's rise to fame over at the Los Angeles Times |
| A Great Idea For A Geek Girl's Night In Posted: If you're into geeky shoes, then you know there are plenty of great designs around the web. That's precisely what inspired Amy Ratcliffe to throw a shoe decorating party with all of her gal pals. From Star Wars to superheroes to Game of Thrones, these clever and crafty gals have designed tons of great shoes that any geek gal would be proud to strut around in. |
| Beautiful Animal Sculptures By Beth Cavener Stichter Posted: I really like the look of these savage animal sculptures by Beth Cavener Stichter. Their rough clay finish makes the critters look as if they've just come into creation and have yet to have their forms polished and smoothed out. They're part of her new series entitled Come Undone, a series full of raw texture and majestic natural beauty. Link --via Hi Fructose |
For the moment, I won't inquire why you're asking this question. Let's simply address the matter at hand. According to researchers at Life's Little Mysteries, it might not be a crime to fake your own death:
