| Posted: 22 Dec 2013 04:00 AM PST What the Fox Say? Well, it's probably not Play-Doh, but the two certainly have something in common -they are two critical components of this great Mental Floss round up of the top ten moments of 2013 as recreated in Play-Doh. Obviously, What the Fox Say was part of the top moments, but you'll have to visit the link to find out what the rest are. I do have one issue with the list though. How is Jennifer Lawrence a moment of 2013? Especially when she started getting famous before this year? |

Luka Pirnat, an industrial designer in Ljubljana, Slovenia, made a seven-branched menorah with Zippo lighters. He calls it the Zippo Gasolier, which is a reference to gas-burning chandeliers and candelabras that were once common before electric lighting. It’s an elegant, carefully-crafted piece of metalwork. |
| On the 12th Day of Christmas, the Die Posted: 22 Dec 2013 12:00 AM PST While a lot of people think the Twelve Days of Christmas refers to the twelve days before the big day, it's actually the twelve days after. That means you still have enough time to order these great twelve-sided Days of Christmas dice made by Eric C. Harshbarger. He only charges $4 per die, which is a great deal for 11 pipers piping, 5 golden rings and all the rest. He has all kinds of other great custom dice on his site as well if you prefer Wonderland, Zodiac signs and rock, paper, scissors instead. Via BoingBoing |
| Crane Operator Captures Stunning Aerial Images Of Shanghai Posted: 21 Dec 2013 10:00 PM PST Chinese crane operator Wei Gensheng saw many incredible photo ops while working on a crane over 2000 feet above the city of Shanghai, and there he found the perfect subject for his photography- the city itself. These soaring sky high shots are quite literally breathtaking, especially when you consider the perspective of the photographer, and it’s safe to say nobody has ever seen the city of Shanghai captured photographically in this way before. Shanghai Tower is now the second tallest building in the world, making Wei one of the bravest photographers in the world for even attempting to take some of these amazing shots! |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 09:00 PM PST Gather around, kiddies, we're going to learn a new song, set to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," except this time, all the gifts are from the TV series Doctor Who! Dorkly illustrates the additions to each verse. Doctor Who fans, try to guess what else is in the song before you go to the full comic and see what's there. Oh, while you're there, mouseover each picture and see how it changes! |
| Nutella Liqueur Is the Most Delicious Booze Ever Posted: 21 Dec 2013 08:00 PM PST
Even if you aren't big on the booze yourself, it can make a great gift for the liqueur and Nutella lovers in your life. Homemade gifts like these are always a good option for those who don't have money but still want to give something great. |
| Glove and Boots: 2013 Year in Review Posted: 21 Dec 2013 07:00 PM PST Glove and Boots sum up the events of 2013 and how they don't make any sense at all. They put it succinctly at the beginning of this video "2013: you suck!" -via Tastefully Offensive |
| A Handy And Printable Drone Survival Guide Posted: 21 Dec 2013 06:00 PM PST Since our neighborhood skies are going to be populated with pilotless drone robots someday soon, drones which are meant to make our lives easier by relieving us of our burdensome freedom and privacy, we’d better learn what they look like now so we know who or what is watching. Here’s a handy Drone Survival Guide which identifies the silhouettes of the most commonly used drones in the air today, and denotes which ones are strictly observers and which ones are killers. Think of it as flying robot hunter’s field guide- it’s printable, easy to read at a moment’s notice, and will make things much easier when they start issuing hunting licenses for drones. Via Sploid |
| The Gävle Goat Has Been Burned Posted: 21 Dec 2013 05:00 PM PST Every year, the people of Gavle, Sweden, erect a huge Yule goat made of straw. And most of those years, arsonists manage to burn it down before Christmas. It's happened again, early Saturday morning.
The last post on the Gävle Goat's blog is quite emotional. It begins:
The goat has been torched at least 24 times in its history. A record was set in 1977 when the goat started to burn only six hours after it was completed. Local authorities and the goat committee are asking for the public to come forward with any information on the perpetrators. -via Boing Boing |
| Parents Recreating Famous Movie Scenes With Their Baby Posted: 21 Dec 2013 04:00 PM PST Every parent wants to capture every moment with their baby, but your baby's pictures probably aren't all that fascinating to everyone else you know no matter how many likes you get on Facebook. On the other hand, Lilly and Leon — of Cardboard Box Office figured out a clever way to make their baby's pictures entertaining to just about everyone. That's because they recreate famous movie scenes with their baby and household objects and the resulting images are both adorable and hilarious. Seeing little Orson take on the role of Tom Hanks in Castaway, Mark Hamill in Star Wars and Bruce Willis in Die Hard is simply fantastic and a lot more entertaining than all the baby photos you are probably used to seeing.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 03:00 PM PST Are you chomping at the bit for a new way to pit cherries? You need the Cherry Chomper from the NeatoShop. This deliciously fun kitchen gadget looks like a little man with a toothy grin. Place cherries inside his mouth, press down on his head, and watch the seeds fall into his belly. Be sure to check out the NeatoShop for more great Kitchen Stuff. |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 03:00 PM PST I've skipped most of the musical Christmas light displays this year because they all seem to look and sound alike after a while. But the music and choreography on this one made me laugh! Music teacher Tom BetGeorge put up 70,000 lights on his home and programmed it to "The Christmas Can Can," sung by the a cappella group Straight No Chaser. If you are near Newark, California, you can see the house perform at the corner of Lafayette and Rushcin. -via Daily Picks and Flicks |
| Incredible Inverted Drawings Of Wolverine Posted: 21 Dec 2013 02:00 PM PST There are times when an artist uses a gimmick to draw our attention towards their art, which most of the art lovers in the world find rather annoying, but as it turns out some gimmicks are worth our time. Take these inverted Wolverine drawings by Brian Lai for example- they can only be seen properly when the pic’s black and white levels are reversed, creating a negative version that reveals all the linework hidden to the naked eye. Pencils are normally supposed to create lines we see, but Brian decided to flip that concept and create contours that we can’t see until the negative space is made into the positive, and the results are really quite uncanny.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST Artificial tree or real, every year, cats everywhere think Christmas trees are great new cat condos their loving owners bought them to play with. Unfortunately, Christmas trees just aren't made with that kind of weight in mind and most ornaments aren't made to survive a crash to the ground. Fortunately for little Sesshomaru here, this tree doesn't have any ornaments on it yet, so he gets to learn his lesson about Christmas trees without suffering any serious injuries or crashing loud noises.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 12:00 PM PST The Charles Howard’s Santa Claus School has been training Santas since 1937, and is still operating today! IN 1961, LIFE magazine published an article about a class of Santas, with photographs by Alfred Eisenstaedt. MessyNessyChic has a collection of those whimsical pictures of would-be Santas learning to give a jolly laugh, dance, interact with children, and wear a beard with style. -via Digg |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 11:00 AM PST Charles Phoenix is a chef and performer in love with 1950s and 1960s Americana. His test kitchen “puts the kitsch in kitchen.” This is the inevitable result for Christmas. The Santa Claus Meatloaf is the perfect treat for Santa to enjoy when he visits your home. It’s certainly a healthier alternative to cookies. Scroll down and you can see that the Santa Claus Meatloaf bakes well.

| 100 Pieces of Advice from 100-Year-Olds Posted: 21 Dec 2013 10:00 AM PST When someone turns 100 years old, it makes the newspaper and they are inevitably asked for the secret to longevity and their advice to others. Some of that advice comes from years of wisdom; some comes from a great sense of humor. And I've heard that a sense of humor contributes to longevity, anyway, so DeAnna Kerley compiled advice from quite a few centenarians to make a list of 100 bits of wisdom. Here are some of my favorites:
Of course, there's a lot more that you might find even more helpful. Read the entire list at mental_floss. |
| Wall Street Banker Captures NYC Underworld In Photo Series Posted: 21 Dec 2013 09:00 AM PST The average Wall Street worker slips straight from their world of stock quotes and ticker tape to their comfortable home without paying any mind to the slums and underworld elements that surround their brokerage house or trading floor. Chris Arnade, on the other hand, saw a chance to document humanity in the raw when he left work each day, shooting photos of New York City’s underworld that are both moving and a bit unnerving. This is street life at its core- prostitution, drug abuse, homelessness and rampant mental illness. His pictures dare you to look away, yet force the viewer to realize that ignoring the problem won't make it go away. Chris is hoping that spreading awareness will shed light on the problems facing modern urban society, New York in particular, and he’s creating some incredibly powerful street photography at the same time.

| Posted: 21 Dec 2013 08:00 AM PST YouTube member patkandiurin posted this video of Belka, a 20-day-old Malamute-husky mix learning to howl, with lessons from her son. That's adorable -and interesting enough on its own, but read her comment!
As if a polar bear in the yard is a normal everyday occurrence. Maybe for her, but the rest of us are impressed! See another video of Belka here. -via Viral Viral Videos |
| Celebrate Your Wedding with Spinning Donuts Posted: 21 Dec 2013 07:00 AM PST Kay-Leigh and Gervan Diaz got married last Saturday. To mark the occasion, they had a driver perform burnout donuts around them in a BWM E46 while they kissed. It's romantic like the concluding kiss of an action movie as well as a demonstration of trust in the driver's skill. -via Jalopnik |

Jill found us Awesome Examples of Anchorman Fan Art. We had a guest post from Daven Hiskey at Today I Found Out called Why We Sing Auld Lang Syne on New Year’s Eve. Eddie Deezen told us about The Biggest-selling Christmas Album of All Time. That sheep's bladder thing isn't a haggis. What you've been eating is the infamous "false" haggis that was invented in 1844 to make up for the shortage of the true haggis after it was almost hunted to extinction in the aftermath of the outbreak of the Burns Night craze. The common or garden variety haggis is, in fact, a shy little globular animal that lives in the highlands and whose planitive, squealling bleats can be heard over the lonely hills as it roams from distillery to distllery to beg a wee dram. It's much prized for its bright tartan pelt, which is used to make bag pipes and its platypus-like beak that was once the basis of the sporran industry.
 MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL OF US ATNEATORAMA! |

We're sliding into the home stretch of Christmastime, and the kids are out of school. Do you have all your decorating, shopping, and baking done yet? No, I don't, either. You remember when you were a kid, and it took forever for Christmas to get here? The older you get, the faster December whizzes by. And the New Year. And years fly pretty fast, too. We hope you are enjoying the holiday season, and hope you have the most wonderful Christmas ever! Get yourself some eggnog or some spiced cider and take a few moments to catch up on the great stuff you may have missed this week at Neatorma.
