| False Killer Whale Has Genuine Killer Smile Posted: 24 Mar 2013 04:00 AM PDT
" 'Sup?," we imagine this False Killer Whale said to Doug Perrine of SeaPics as it swam on by. To which we imagine Doug replying back, "Oh, nothin' - please don't eat me." The American marine wildlife photographer snapped this marvelous pic of the grinning cetacean off the shores of Kona, Hawaii. The Telegraph has the pic: Link |
| Posted: 24 Mar 2013 02:00 AM PDT Blouh, a street artist in Belgium, uses stencils to bring science fiction heroes and villains to his neighborhood. The Vader image is especially well-placed and gives me a great idea for how Luke and his father could have fought their last duel. Gallery -via Street Art Utopia |
| How to Survive in the Wilderness Posted: 24 Mar 2013 12:00 AM PDT It's so simple! You can find the answer to any problem on Twitter. This Twaggie was illustrated by David Barneda from a Tweet by Andy Richter. Check out Twaggies for the latest in illustrated Tweets to grab a smile anytime. And if you have a favorite, you can even have it printed on a t-shirt! Link |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 11:00 PM PDT For her project entitled 52 Forms of Fungi, Leigh Martin is knitting realistic fungi. She's making a new one every week. They're very good pieces, especially when left in appropriate settings. You can view more at the link. Link -via Knits and Knacks |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 10:00 PM PDT Chlorox Tooth Paste? I had to look it up to see if this was a hoax. I found a 1920 publication with a letter of praise to Nulyne Laboratories followed by an offer to send the toothpaste to any dentist free of charge to use on their patients. Mind you, current Chlorox products are not recommended for use on your teeth. Link |

| IRS Apologizes for $60,000 Star Trek Parody Posted: 23 Mar 2013 08:00 PM PDT The Internal Revenue Service got chewed out by Congress for wasting taxpayer money on a couple of videos made for a training and leadership conference in 2010. One was a parody of Gilligan's Island, but most of the $60,000 spent was for a Star Trek parody that "does not appear to have any training value."
Congressional investigators concluded that the Gilligan's Island parody video was a legitimate training tool. Although the $60,000 spent on the two videos is a pittance compared to, say, a day at war, we've posted much better parodies made for $500 or less. The IRS should consider looking to the YouTube community to produce future videos. Link -via Viral Viral Videos |
| Finland's Passport is a Flipbook Posted: 23 Mar 2013 07:00 PM PDT Neat! Flip through the pages of a Finnish passport and you'll see a moose walking. -via Daily of the Day |
| Step Into The Oceanic Twilight Zone Posted: 23 Mar 2013 06:00 PM PDT Step into the Twilight Zone. The disphotic zone of the ocean, that is. The oceanic Twilight Zone, which starts about at 600 feet deep and extends to about 3,300 feet, is called that because only a small amount of light penetrate the water at this level. Plants do not grow here, but strange animals are abound, as this fantastic video clip by the BBC's Nature Microworlds show: Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 05:00 PM PDT There was a time I had to explain to some new bloggers what kind of links to avoid using. One was "lists of unattributed photos with no useful information," otherwise known as clickbait. Darius Kazemi at Tiny Subversions demonstrates how easy it is to generate such lists with just a bit of code and no human input. It's kind of like playing Mad-Libs. See any number of automatically-generated lists, and reload for new ones. Strangely, you'll have to disable AdBlock to see it. Mind the titles; some images may be NSFW. Link -via Metafilter |

| Benedict Cumberbatch as Various Pokémon Posted: 23 Mar 2013 04:00 PM PDT British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, I am reliably informed, is a hottie. And since the Star Trek and Sherlock actor exists in the same universe as Tumblr, he is inevitably transposed into innumerable memes. The blog PokéBatch, I Choose You is devoted to Cumberbatched versions of Pokémon. You can view more images at the link. |
| Ode to Sleep Deprived Parents and Terrorising Toddlers Posted: 23 Mar 2013 03:00 PM PDT The Sydney Symphony held a competition to come up with better lyrics for the opening to Carmina Burana (affectionately known at Neatorama as "O Fortuna"). This is the winning entry, from Matthew Hodge. The Sydney Philharmonia Choirs performed it at the recent concert series, which ended tonight. -via Metafilter |
| Genetics is Coming To Get Them Posted: 23 Mar 2013 02:00 PM PDT Fear not! Redheads aren't going extinct (at least not yet, anyhow), but you should still cower because genetics is coming to get you one way or the other! Via Cheezburger |
| The CERN Animal Shelter for Computer Mice Posted: 23 Mar 2013 01:00 PM PDT Just outside the CERN Computer Centre in Geneva, Switzerland, the world's leading physicists have built a shelter for retired and obsolete mice. It's a win-win situation, as the mice are hardly recyclable and the CERN scientists and technicians need to get outside more often. German physics student Emily89 took this picture during a recent visit to the facility. Link -via reddit |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 12:00 PM PDT I've checked. It's real. And as soon as I've finished writing this post, I'm going to order through interlibrary loan the book containing this article. Peter McLaren and Janet Morris's essay on the Power Rangers' phallocentric milieu is something I must read. It's one of 18 completely real academic papers about 90s-era television that were successfully published. You can read about them at the link. Link -via VA Viper | Image: Toei Company |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 11:00 AM PDT The Bookseller has announced recipient of the Diagram Prize for the oddest book title of the year. The winner is Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop.
Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop was written by Reginald Bakeley, and is available at Amazon. See the titles of the other books that received plenty of votes, and some of the previous winners. Link -via Arbroath |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 10:00 AM PDT Turning Mohawk into mo' money is as simple as turning yourself into an unmissable billboard of hair. Check out how Mohawk Gaz turned his head into an advertisin' walking masterpiece: Uppin' the game: a basketball net embedded in his hair ... Just when you think the basketball net thing was cool, you got to check this one out ... Like the last photo tells ya, View more over at Mohawkads: Link |
| Elisabetta the Hard Rock Singer Posted: 23 Mar 2013 09:00 AM PDT Little Elisabetta sang an Italian children's song in hard rock style. Then musician Christian Ice (who may or may not be her father -he didn't say) wrote an original song to accompany her. You can see the original video before the music was added. She may grow up to be a star! -via Daily of the Day |

| Posted: 23 Mar 2013 06:00 AM PDT The Star Wars March Madness tournament marches on, so don't you dare skip out. I foresee force choking in your future if you don't participate ... Today's matchup is an important one, with R2D2 trying to eliminate C3PO. But Darth Vader is still in the running. And still the favorite. Each day, fans get to decide which combatants from both the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force will advance to the next round. Who will ultimately win? You decide: Link |

March Madness is here, and the NCAA tournament has so far been a bit different: Harvard advances by beating New Mexico, La Salle upset Kansas State, and Florida Gulf Coast beat Georgetown. And last year's champion, Kentucky, isn't even in the tournament. We may have a Final Four made up of schools that have never been there before! Amid all the excitement, I hope you find time to catch up on what's been happening this past week at Neatorama.
