| German Man Creates Spider-Man Inspired Laser-Guided Web-Shooters Posted: 21 Apr 2014 04:00 AM PDT Spider-Man's web swinging exploits are legendary among comic book fans and those introduced to the friendly neighborhood superhero by the new movies, so it’s no wonder people want to be like him. Spidey’s most iconic accessory is his signature web blasters, and many people have tried to make their own web slingers to little or no avail. Patrick Priebe, who Gizmag describes as a “German laser weapons hobbyist”, created a deadly cool, and very functional pair of Spidey inspired web-shooters, only his creation doesn’t shoot webs- it shoots a laser-guided harpoon. It’s a very useful device for killing and snaring prey from far away, but won’t help Marvel’s wise cracking webhead bag the bad guys…unless the bag in question is a body bag! -Via ComicsAlliance  | ||||||||
| <i>My Neighbor Totoro</i> Easter Egg Posted: 21 Apr 2014 03:00 AM PDT Swedish artist Roberth Fearon painted an egg to look like Totoro. It's a great idea because Totoro's body is egg-shaped. But why, dear Totoro, are you wearing your umbrella? It's not raining and the Catbus will be here soon. | ||||||||

| Newborn Kittens Shipped with Cargo Posted: 20 Apr 2014 11:00 PM PDT How did two kittens wind up in a box of fiberglass equipment shipped from L.A. to San Diego? No one knows, but they are now getting the best care available. A warehouse worker in Chula Vista opened the box and found two kittens with their umbilical cords still attached. They were taken to the San Diego Humane Society, where they are under veterinary care.
The kittens, now named Mouse and Wifi, will be placed with a foster home and eventually adopted out. | ||||||||
| This <i>Frozen</i>/<i>Game of Thrones</i> Mashup Is So Good It Should Be a Feature-Length Musical Posted: 20 Apr 2014 10:00 PM PDT We've seen mashups of the Frozen song "Let It Go" before, but never with such high production values. Loot Crate made this music video for their song "Westeros." Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, and Joffrey Baratheon sing about the positive impact they will have on the world by being true to themselves. The lyrics, singing, costuming, and staging are excellent. This could be the starting point of a great musical. Buffy the Vampire slayer had an excellent musical episode. Game of Thrones should, too! -via Nerd Approved | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 09:00 PM PDT Cats are pretty cool customers, most kitties like nothing more than to lay around all day dreaming about conquering the human world and taking over salmon factories across the globe. They are so highly evolved that they no longer need to perfect their form, which gives them a lot more time to nap! Celebrate the evolutionary laziness of felines with this Cat Evolution t-shirt by Coconutman, it's kitteh science and one hundred percent totally true...kinda. Okay, maybe not, but there's no doubt that it's a funny shirt! Visit Coconutman's Facebook page and Twitter, then head on over to his NeatoShop for more neat designs:

| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 09:00 PM PDT This vine of a bouncy llama is fun even with the sound off, but to get the full effect, you need to turn it on to hear the DMX soundtrack. It’s six seconds of silliness from Kirill Beerlove you’ll want to watch over and over! -via Buzzfeed | ||||||||
| This Piano Playing Nun Is A Total Drag Posted: 20 Apr 2014 08:00 PM PDT Unless you work in a piano bar, or a department store with its own eleganly dressed tickler of ivories, you’re probably not getting enough piano music in your life. Whether it’s ragtime, smooth jazz, techno or classical, piano music is the key to a healthy musical love life. The nunny fellow in this video knows the importance of the piano, and its kooky younger cousin the organ, and he’s in the habit of rolling around town sharing his piano-mania with whoever doesn’t run away from him in horror. He's a man of the cloth about town, and he's about to become the first drag performer to get a DUI while operating a motorized piano! -Via Cheezburger | ||||||||
| A Miniature World Inside an Easter Egg Posted: 20 Apr 2014 07:00 PM PDT Jane Smith, a miniature maker, created this incredibly detailed diorama inside a cracked egg. She offers no information about her creative process, but I would hazard a guess that she engaged in some impressive needle felting. | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 06:00 PM PDT Watch a bonobo, a close relative of the chimpanzee, start a fire with a match. Once he builds the fire, he does the natural thing next -he toasts marshmallows! No, this behavior wasn’t observed in the wild; he was taught to do this. But you wouldn’t know how to start a fire and toast marshmallows if your parents hadn’t taught you how, either. See, they aren’t so different from us, really. This clip is from the BBC TV series Monkey Planet, which is apparently about apes, too. -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| The Scariest Inanimate Objects In Movie History Posted: 20 Apr 2014 05:00 PM PDT Inanimate objects have been imbued with a sinister energy thanks to the horror genre, and some of the scariest stories and movies of all time involve characters being terrorized by inanimate objects such as creepy dolls, haunted TV sets and mirrors that trap people’s souls. Here’s a collection of the most terrifying inanimate objects in movie history, three of which are Stephen King’s creations, and although it’s far from exhaustive the collection of movies chosen for this list would make for a really fun movie marathon! -Via Moviefone | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 04:00 PM PDT Friday, an avalanche on Mt. Everest resulted in the death of twelve Sherpas, and three others are missing. The disaster throws a light on the Nepali people who cater to wealthy but inexperienced mountain climbers who pay dearly to say they’ve climbed Everest. The Sherpas do the majority of the work: guiding the way, judging conditions, setting equipment, and ensuring the success of the expeditions. National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey explains what makes the Sherpas risk their lives over and over. The majority of the Sherpa climbers I talked to don't really want to be doing this business, but when you live in this super-remote mountain valley where there is this highway of money coming through, you go out and risk your life. On the one hand, the tourism money makes a real difference in the lives of the mountain people. On the other hand, is it worth it when your father, son, or husband doesn’t come home? Read more about the Sherpas at NatGeo News. | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 03:00 PM PDT SJC Custom Drums is a drum-making business in Massachusetts. Its artisans made these drums for Frank DeSantis, the drummer of One Fell Swoop, a punk band in New York City. They measure 8x12, 14x16, and 20x22 inches. They're gorgeous! Be sure to check out SJC's Facebook gallery for more photos of beautiful custom drums. -via Technabob | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 02:00 PM PDT This is not a wave pool. This is a regular Olympic pool in Mexico City, recorded by Brandon Ramirez Urzua as a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit Mexico on Friday. Fortunately, there were no reports of casualties or major damage. I wouldn’t have wanted to be in the pool when it happened, though. -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||
| Vintage Advertisements Get A Pop Music Makeover Posted: 20 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT Artist David Redon discovered a fun way to update vintage advertising posters and give them a modern pop culture makeover- he replaced the original subjects with famous musicians. Redon is the art director for Quai Des Orfevres ad agency in Paris, and the simplicity of each piece as well as the vintage colors are what make his updated posters really work. Snoop Dogg in a gin ad? Fo shizzle. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain selling soft serve? Smells like a winner. But Kanye taking the place of Rosie the Riveter? Now that's what I call taking this musical mashup too far! -Via Beautiful/Decay | ||||||||
| Interactive Game of Thrones Map Posted: 20 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT With Google Maps technology, you can now explore the lands of George R.R. Martin’s world from A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones. Check out the map of Westeros and Essos. With a click you can see who owns what lands, or the paths that characters travel. Toggle between “episodes” and “chapters,” depending on whether you’ve read the books or are following the TV show. You can adjust a slide to protect yourself from spoilers, although it may be tempting to peek ahead. There are also plenty of links to more information. A lot of work went into this project! -via The Daily Dot | ||||||||
| I Am The One Who Knocks Clarice Posted: 20 Apr 2014 11:00 AM PDT Science of the Labs by Daniel Sotomayor You know what goes great with some fava beans and a glass of chianti? Those power-packed blue crystals that keep the lambs up all night long! You no longer have to silence your love of great mashups, thanks to this Science of the Labs t-shirt by Daniel Sotomayor, it's breaking new ground and showing love for those bad boys from your favorite gritty movies and TV shows.

Of course we'll share everything! That's what families do. By the way: did the family pay for that pizza? Or did I? That's right: I did. Get your paws off it. | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT This cat thinks he’s got it all figured out: just walk over there and take one of those tasty fish hanging from a thin metal rafter. He apparently overestimated either his abilities or the width of the rafter. The entertainment value of the video is slightly improved by the shakiness -that's due to the videographer giggling. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| These Knockoff Products Seem Totally Legit Posted: 20 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT Most people have had a bad experience with knockoff products, thinking it'll be just as good as the original only to find that it just doesn’t live up to the original, and yet people keep buying knockoffs because they're cheap. Well, you get what you pay for, and when you buy a Skerple instead of a Sharpie you know you’re getting less marker for your money. Even worse- when the product's name asks the consumer to figure out for themselves "Could it be butter?" you're better off paying a few more bucks for the real thing. You can see more of these hilarious bootleg products in BuzzFeed's 30 Knockoff Products That Are Almost Better Than The Real Thing. | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT Is this a mashup we haven’t seen before? I would have never thought of it -combining Disney movie characters with the Marvel super heroes of The Avengers. DeviantART member ThinkingMakesItSo did these, and you can see all eight works in his gallery. You won’t believe what Disney character plays Black Widow! -via a comment at reddit | ||||||||

The thing about final confessions is that you've got to be sure that you're actually going to die. It is not the time to encourage someone to finish you off. | ||||||||
| Posted: 20 Apr 2014 06:00 AM PDT Where would be the absolutely worst place for your car to catch fire? In the lion enclosure of a drive-through safari. And that’s what happened to Helen Clements and her two children when they visited Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, England.
The lions did not approach, because they are smart enough to know fire when they see it. Still, it was a frightening incident. Rangers moved the lions out of the enclosure before firefighters extinguished the flames. -via Arbroath |
It's been a great while since our last Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt, so it's with great pleasure that we announce that it's time we run another one!
