| Daily Affirmations with Skeletor Posted: 17 Mar 2014 04:00 AM PDT Emotionally speaking, Skeletor has been a wreck. And it's not just the foreclosure and the divorce. Those are symptoms of larger problems. But to his credit, he's getting help with counseling and a top-notch life coach. The blog Health Thyself, Skeletor is filled with his own affirmations. These are his ways of getting over the deep insecurities that have plagued his relationships since he was a child. How well is this process working for Skeletor? Pretty well. You can read about his transformation in this interview of Skeletor and his life coach, S. Elizabeth, at Geekquality. -via Nag on the Lake  | ||||||||
| 5 Iconic Buildings Built with LEGO Bricks Posted: 17 Mar 2014 03:00 AM PDT This LEGO Sydney Opera House is big enough so that LEGO minifigs can come inside and sit in the audience! It was built by Ryan McNaut, also known as The Brickman. Geeks Are Sexy has a roundup of architectural LEGO projects, builds that recreate the Blackpoll Tower, the Coliseum, the Empire State Building, the Sydney Opera House, and the Tower of Orthanc (which is fictional, but still iconic). Some of the projects come in more than one size, but all are lovingly crafted and well worth seeing! | ||||||||
| Posted: 17 Mar 2014 02:00 AM PDT How many basset hounds are inside this little doghouse? Take a guess, then watch the video by Gretchen Hoey. Did you get guess correctly? Did you even get close? -via neo-neocon | ||||||||

| Clever Bookcase Has a Built-In Folding Ladder Posted: 17 Mar 2014 12:00 AM PDT I love this bookcase! Karen King, a designer in Toronto, developed Higher Ground, a combination bookcase and ladder. Pull on the front to expose three steps. The whole thing is made with sustainably harvested wood or reclaimed lumber. It looks like a great way to use vertical space in a room with a high ceiling. -via Khool | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Mar 2014 11:00 PM PDT A 1976 edition of The Hobbit published in the Soviet Union has illustrations by M. Belomlinskij. They reflect the style of the time, although they also somewhat resemble woodcuts. Of course, you are familiar enough with the characters that you recognize them even without the text, which would be in Russian anyway. See more illustrations at Retronaut. -via mental_floss | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Mar 2014 10:00 PM PDT The way of the neighborly samurai is always to dress up nice. Thankfully, NeatoShop artist Theduc has made this easy with this neat Totosamurai design. Visit Theduc's official website then head on over to his NeatoShop for more cutting edge T-shirt designs:

Why, raptor? Because your friends are really cold-blooded, that's why. Once they got their claws on the tubs of frozen eclairs, they didn't need you anymore. Enjoy your early winter. -via Daily of the Day | ||||||||
| The Wolf Of UL Students' Union Posted: 16 Mar 2014 09:00 PM PDT Tommy Bolger ran for President of the Students’ Union at the University of Limerick. And he won! His campaign video, produced by Michael Boyle, probably had something to do with his victory. It’s a shot-by-shot parody of the trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street. With his energy and imagination, he'll make a good president. -via Uproxx | ||||||||
| Adorable Images Of Animals Caught Mid-Yawn Posted: 16 Mar 2014 08:00 PM PDT (Image Via Reddit) (Image Via The Luxury Spot) It’s a little known fact that animals have a lot of the same bodily functions as humans- they cough, fart, and sneeze, and if something isn’t sitting right in their stomach they have no problem throwing up, and boy do lazy critters love to yawn! Check out this gallery full of pics and GIFs that capture adorable critters caught in the middle of a yawn, they’re all feelin’ lazy and yawning in the most adorable ways possible. Darn you cute bunch o' critters for being so darn adorable! *shakes fist* -Via Pleated-Jeans | ||||||||

| You'd Never Guess What This 16-Year-Old Teenager Couldn't Buy At The Supermarket Posted: 16 Mar 2014 06:00 PM PDT
Yvette Whelan was frustrated that his stepson Liam and his brother kept on losing her teaspoons, so she sent him to a local market to buy a pack of teaspoons. But staff at Tesco in Haslingden refused to sell the pack of teaspoons to Liam because he was under the age of 18. "Knives, forks I can understand but teaspoons? No," Yvette said to the BBC, "There's just no common sense." Liam had to go home empty handed and was "really embarrassed" by the incident, she added. Tesco later apologized for the incident, saying "We do include a till prompt for proof of age on our self-service tills for some items. We ask our colleagues to use their judgment as to whether this should be applied. In this instance, this was not followed and we apologized to our customer for any inconvenience caused." The BBC spoons up the full story - Via Arbroath (Photo: Yvette Whelan) | ||||||||
| Dying the Chicago River Green for St. Patricks Day Posted: 16 Mar 2014 05:00 PM PDT Every year, the Chicago River is dyed green for the St. Patricks Day parade. This time-lapse video taken yesterday may seem like it’s in black-and-white at first, but that’s just the colors of the city. It’s a slight shock when the green starts! The dumping was done by members of the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Union Local 130. Here’s a view from a little closer to the action. The area of the greening was restricted somewhat by construction further up the river. The green only lasted for the day, but brightened things up for the parade. | ||||||||
| <i>Star Trek</i> Foods for Every Occasion Posted: 16 Mar 2014 04:00 PM PDT Chris-Rachael Oseland, the Kitchen Overlord, specializes in preparing geeky foods, from Wonder Woman potatoes to Alien facehugger eggs. She often does thematic weeks focused on particular franchises, such as the recent Dune Week. Most recently, she's held a Star Trek week with custom recipes inspired by the greatest of all science fiction franchises. Pictured above is her Klingon blood orange pull-apart bread. It's made with blood oranges, not Klingon blood--not that I doubt Chris-Rachael's prowess with a bat'leth. Here's her meatloaf made to resemble (but not taste like) a horta. Mama Horta's eggs look just like those in the classic episode "Devil in the Dark," but are actually silver Sixlets, a type of hard candy. That's okay, because baby hortas are sweet. The Ferengi are among the most fascinating species in the Star Trek universe. They were nicely developed by writers in Deep Space Nine. The Ferengi are flawed in some ways, but I think that they are the most realistic society described in Star Trek. It's not a coincidence that a Ferengi has been my online avatar for years. So I'm especially delighted by Chris-Rachael's Ferengi ears made with canned cinnamon bun dough. Chris-Rachael calls making them "disgustingly easy." Be sure to add the orange frosting as ear wax, which is where the intense flavor comes from. You can view more recipes from Star Trek Week at Kitchen Overlord. And if you love Star Trek food, then you may also wish to explore Food Replicator, a food blog devoted to duplicating dishes shown or mentioned on Star Trek. | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Mar 2014 03:00 PM PDT They may say it’s "functionally obsolete,' but I’d call it an ex-bridge. As in, no longer a bridge. It’s expired. It is no more. It has ceased to exist. -via Bad Newspaper | ||||||||
| Rare Photos From The Rothschild Illuminati Ball In 1972 Posted: 16 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT The Rothschilds are one of the wealthiest families in the world, and they were known for throwing wicked costume parties back in the day, with only the most famous and distinguished guests in attendance. However, very few photos have surfaced from their decadent soirees, and those photos which have been released reveal how the one percent get their party on. In 1972 Baron Guy De Rothschild and his wife Marie-Helene hosted a Surreal Face themed party at the Chateau de Ferrieres, where their famous guests, including Salvador Dali and Audrey Hepburn, were asked to wear "black tie, long dresses and surrealists heads". The guests didn't disappoint, arriving with wildly decorated heads and austere garb, but it seems all the crazy facepaint and liquor in the world couldn’t liven up such a stiff crowd! -Via Juxtapoz | ||||||||
| Watch a Broken Fire Hydrant Lift a Car off the Ground Posted: 16 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT Early in the morning of Nov. 1, 2011, a car ran into and over a fire hydrant in San Diego. The pressure from the erupting water line kept the back end of a Toyota Corolla lifted 10 feet off the ground for hours. The driver was nowhere to be found, leading police to suspect that the car had been stolen. You can read about the incident here (warning: auto-start video). -via Jalopnik | ||||||||

| Posted: 16 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT You’ve seen videos of animals with their faces stuck in food cans and other containers many times. What makes this one different is how tiny this fox kit is, and how adorably cute his little face is when we finally get to see him! This was from a few years ago, and those who know say the kit’s mother came and got him not long afterward. -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||
| A Collection Of Men's Hairstyles From The 1970s Posted: 16 Mar 2014 11:00 AM PDT People made some bad style choices in the 1970s- leisure suits, Earth shoes, zippered and belted jumpsuits, and lemon yellow polyester slacks all come to mind as fairly common fashions that were fairly hideous. But whether you escaped the decade fashionably unscathed, or you have a hideous Disco phase among the skeletons in your closet, chances are bad 70s style affected your look in one way- a bad hairstyle. We've all had our share of bad hair, but guys really got the short end of the stick during the 70s when it came to coiffures. Seeing these bad hair pics will either make you appreciate your own hairstyle, or give you an idea for a new direction to take with your hairdo. -Via Dangerous Minds | ||||||||
| Pygmy Tyrannosaur Found in Arctic Posted: 16 Mar 2014 10:00 AM PDT A new dinosaur that was a small but close relative of T. rex has been found in Alaska, of all places. Nanuqsaurus hoglundi was only about 20 feet long (shown in blue in the above graph) and lived about 70 million years ago. Paleontologist Tony Fiorillo was part of a team that gathered the bones in 2006 while looking for a different dinosaur in the Prince Creek formation, and only later examined them.
The name Nanuqsaurus is derived from Nanuq, the Alaska Inupiat word meaning polar bear. Read more about the discovery at National Geographic News. | ||||||||
| B-Roll Footage From The Muppets Most Wanted Posted: 16 Mar 2014 09:00 AM PDT The Muppets Most Wanted is about to hit theaters, treating legions of puppet loving people to a new big screen adventure starring their favorite fleece covered friends. Filming an epic movie like The Muppets Most Wanted means lots of B-roll footage and scenes removed from the final edit of the film, and for fans of the filmmaking process these unused scenes give us insight into the entire process, and shows how a scene starring a puppet actually comes together. But since this is actual B-roll footage from the film there are all kinds of spoilers, so don’t watch if you’re worried about spoilers ruining your Muppet movie viewing experience, just come back and watch the clips after you've seen the film! -Via NerdBastards | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Mar 2014 08:00 AM PDT  Goodnight Moon, written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd, has been a bedtime staple for over 50 years. What the authors did not expect when the book was published in 1947 was that the internet would allow geeks all over the world to deconstruct the beloved childhood story. Burrito Justice studied the pictures in the book and calculated that the little bunny’s bedtime ritual takes an hour and ten minutes, starting at 7:00 and ending at 8:10. For small children, it often takes that long. But reaction to the post brought up the progression of the moon across the sky -how did that sync up with the clock? After another analysis of the illustrations, it was determined that the moon’s astronomical progression does not match up with the clock! There are also observations about cross promotion of Brown’s books in Goodnight Moon and her other publications, in the post at Burrito Justice. -via Metafilter An earlier calculation of the chronological length of the book used only the moon's progression and not the clock on the mantle. A bedtime ritual of six minutes was inferred, which is wildly optimistic, as any parent will tell you. | ||||||||
| Steve McCurry's Photographic Vision Of Ethiopia Posted: 16 Mar 2014 07:00 AM PDT Photographer Steve McCurry has an epic vision which he has been happily sharing with the world for over 30 years, and his knack for revealing the heart and soul of his subjects makes him the perfect person to call when you need help promoting a humanistic cause. This photo journey took Steve to Ethiopia, more specifically to the remote Omo Valley region, where he was invited to capture the plight of the Omo children and help spread the word about a great cause. The Omo Child charity takes care of children who are considered mingi (cursed) by their tribe and either sent to die in the desert or ritualistically murdered. These unwanted mingi children are given a home and an education thanks to the efforts of Lale Lubuko and photographer John Rowe, founders of Omo Child, and with Steve McCurry’s intimate and illustrative photo series showing the world who their donations are benefitting the Omo children will hopefully receive the funding help they so desperately need. -Via The Fox Is Black | ||||||||
| Posted: 16 Mar 2014 06:00 AM PDT Markus Johansen is Norwegian, but he is speaking English in this Audi, which is either a rental car or a demo. The car speaks English but has a definite problem with accents. The general consensus is that the car will do anything to avoid playing Nickleback. |

The answer is: teaspoons. That's right, a pack of teaspoon.
