| Nika Samarina's Tattoos Are So Colorful That They Look Like Paintings Posted: 04 Apr 2014 04:00 AM PDT When I first saw this My Neighbor Totoro tattoo, I thought that it was a body painting. It's so vibrant! This is typical of the work of Nika Samarina, a tattoo artist in Russia. You can view more of her work here.  | ||||||||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2014 03:00 AM PDT Clowns have been around since antiquity in one form or another, in cultures all over the world. Learn the history of the performers we know as clowns: the imp, the trickster, the fool, the jester, the harlequin, the clown, and the tramp. In the past few decades, the reputation of clowns has taken a beating, from the eerie picture of serial killer John Wayne Gacy in clown makeup to Stephen King’s Pennywise. But clown culture is thriving, too, in new incarnations such as hip-hop clowns, the new vaudeville movement, and the many classically-trained clowns looking for gigs. Read about all of these facets of clowndom at Collectors Weekly. | ||||||||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2014 02:00 AM PDT In its simplest form, combat juggling involves two competitors. Each must juggle 3 pins without dropping any. They try to keep their pins in the air while knocking down the pins of their opponents. To expand this challenge with teamwork and planned strategies, have 2 teams of jugglers try to take each other out. This is the grand spectacle of combat juggling at its finest. In the Grantland video embedded below, you can learn about this emerging sport that challenges both the mind and the body.

| 44 Things You Didn’t Know About <i>The Walking Dead</i> Posted: 04 Apr 2014 01:00 AM PDT Are you suffering from The Walking Dead withdrawal now that the season is over? Can’t bear the thought of waiting six months for more? Okay, we can’t give you any new plot points from the fifth season, but there’s plenty to learn about the series so far. The linked list may contain spoilers if you aren’t current on the series. Here's a sampling.
There are a total of 44 trivia tidbits about The Walking Dead at Buzzfeed, including lots of pictures. | ||||||||
| Wine Packaged in a Paint Bucket Posted: 04 Apr 2014 12:00 AM PDT
Yes, I’d like a gallon of merlot and an appropriate primer. Let’s try some single-malt scotch for that purpose. The Lithuania-based ad agency McCann Vilnius created this novel and attention-grabbing package for Beaujolais Nouveau, a batch of new red wines produced annually by the Beaujolais region of France. The premise of the paint bucket design is that wine does more than intoxicate. It also, like paint, colors the lips and teeth of the consumer. The back of the bucket contains instructions on how many glasses to drink in order to acquire the desired color. Be sure to sand with 150 grit paper between glasses for a glossy coat. -via Foodiggity | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 11:00 PM PDT A new song from Monty Python? Really? Yes! “The Silly Walks Song” was written for the new show Monty Python Live (mostly) which premieres this summer. There are ten shows scheduled for July in London, with the July 20th show called the very last live show ever. Strangely, the lyrics to “The Silly Walks Song” are not about walking, but about money. -via Geeks Are Sexy | ||||||||
| This Beautiful Children’s Bookstore Looks Like a Long, Winding Rainbow Posted: 03 Apr 2014 09:00 PM PDT Architect and furniture designer Arthur Casas created the interior of this gorgeous bookstore in São Paulo, Brazil. Children can follow the rainbow-colored road along shelves and oddly-shaped alcoves filled with books. There are plenty of spaces along the journey to stop and read in comfort. You can view more images at Fubiz. | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 08:00 PM PDT Stop-motion artist PES made an ad for the new citizenM Hotel in New York. These towel swans are just lovely, swimming around on the bed, don't you think? -via Boing Boing See more clever animations by PES. | ||||||||
| Tourist Shares Pics Of New York City In The Early 1980s Posted: 03 Apr 2014 07:00 PM PDT Most tourists take a few pictures while they’re on vacation, but these pictures are generally not much to look at, focusing primarily on the tourists themselves rather than their surroundings. But Paul Wright wasn’t your typical tourist, he was a young man from the UK visiting New York City in 1982 and 83 with lots of love for the city's seedy side in his heart and an eye for photography. His pics capture the strange, the edgy, and downright bizarre side of NYC with wide eyed glee, and his tourist snapshots show a city which has changed quite a bit over the last thirty years. The best part of Paul's images are the insightful comments he has included with each image, describing the story behind the photo in a delightful homage to a time when the chain stores and property developers had yet to take over NYC. -Via Gothamist | ||||||||
| Please Login to Facebook to Access Your Fairy Tale Romance Posted: 03 Apr 2014 06:00 PM PDT A long time ago when I was single and using an online dating service, I automatically excluded any profile that did not show a general grasp of proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. A prince--or even just a pauper--must have standards. Smart move, Prince Charming. -via Pleated Jeans | ||||||||
| Twelve Of The Strangest Comic Book Crossovers Of All Time Posted: 03 Apr 2014 05:00 PM PDT Comic book crossovers happen all the time, usually due to fan requests or some major event meant to bring the two universes together in a spectacular way, but the crossover comics on this list aren’t your usual fare. These weird crossovers go beyond 'what if', past 'what the…' and straight to 'WTF?!' When the Punisher shows up in Riverdale looking for a gangster who bears more than a passing resemblance to Archie things are getting strange, but when the Quik Rabbit battles the Weather Wizard and saves a frozen Superman by deciphering some Egyptian code you know these crossover comic events have truly jumped the shark! Go forth, brave reader, and discover more strange comic book crossover events over at io9! | ||||||||
| Spending Quality Time with the Goldfish Posted: 03 Apr 2014 04:00 PM PDT You should always take time out of your day to let your loved ones know how you feel. Playing with your pets is important, so they don’t feel rejected. Even if that pet is a goldfish in an outdoor pond or lake. And don’t just pet them and leave -make sure you pick them up and give them cuddle, too. -via Daily of the Day | ||||||||
| Would You Like To See The Grossest Hockey Player Selfie Ever Taken? Posted: 03 Apr 2014 03:00 PM PDT I’m not going to show it to you here, but you can follow the link if you want. This is Mitch Callahan, the second-leading scorer for the Grand Rapids Griffins. He suffered a slapshot to the mouth last night and had to be taken out of the game against the Iowa Wild -and to the hospital. But before he left, he took a selfie and posted it to Twitter. We hear they collected about four teeth from the ice (he was already missing his front two). Look at your own peril. | ||||||||

Forget diamond tiaras! Mushrooms are a girl's best friend. Nora Evergla just scratched our seven year itch (wait, wrong movie?) for a good mash up T-shirt with this Plumbers Prefer Blondes. Ah, an instant classic! Visit Nora at her official Facebook page, Twitter or Tumblr, then head on over to her NeatoShop for more fantastic designs:

| 10 Rarest Rock and Roll Photographs Posted: 03 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT  Limited Runs is proud to present a Rock 'n' Roll Photography Show on April 25th, the closing night of MOPLA (Month of Photography Los Angeles). The event will invitation only from 7 to 9 PM, and then open to the public from 9:30 PM to closing time at Boulevard3 in Los Angeles. The show will then travel to Las Vegas and New York City throughout 2014. As a preview, we have ten rare photographs for you on the Spotlight blog. | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT One of the side effects of a cat’s lifestyle of sleeping 20 hours a day is that all the normal energy produced by expensive, nutritionally-balanced cat food builds up. In humans, this buildup is called “middle-age spread.” In cats, it reaches the bursting point eventually. That is most likely to happen at 3 AM, when humans are awakened by crashing, falling, and piano-playing sounds. In this animation from Simon Tofield, Simon’s Cat demonstrates such an event during the day so we can see it better. The episode plays itself out in frantic rushing from one place to another as the cat tries to figure out what it really wants to do. Having made no concrete decision, with the expelled energy dissipated, the cat then returns to normal equilibrium. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Back in 2009, Swedish graphic designer Perniclas Bedow created an award-winning map of the world using coins from various countries. The map contains about 3,000 coins of varying currencies. See if your country's coins are there. | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT The title of the article is Erotica Written By An Alien Pretending Not To Be Horrified By The Human Body. What scenario would lead to such an activity is left to the imagination. What if, say, an alien species came to live on Earth among us and one of them tried to make some money writing erotic fiction. They probably wouldn’t get the job, due to the complete misunderstanding of what “erotic” really means, and the alien’s disgust at human sex. Only selected lines are given, but they are both funny and not-for-children -not that they would understand them anyway. Here are a couple that are innocuous enough for sharing here:

| Weight Watchers Canceled Due to Unforeseen (Yet so Delicious) Circumstances Posted: 03 Apr 2014 09:30 AM PDT The sign above tells us that Weight Watchers meetings have been cancelled for the next two weeks due to unforeseen circumstances.

| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT The new British acrobatic group Circulus chose an abandoned Victorian sail factory in London’s East End as the backdrop for their first video. Their act combines acrobatics and dance into a mesmerizing circus performance! The talents each performer brings to the group include “tricking, hand-to-hand, free running, dancing, juggling, tumbling, aerial hoop, cyr wheel, banquine, breakdancing, hand balancing, trampoline and more.” These folks just might go places! -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| Has Motorization in the U.S. Peaked? Posted: 03 Apr 2014 08:30 AM PDT The graph above shows the rate of gasoline consumption in the U.S. There are more graphs in a new paper by Michael Sivak (.pdf) of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute that show how the number of vehicles per person peaked in 2008, the number of miles driven peaked in 2006, and the per capita fuel consumption peaked in 2004. Part of that is explained by cars being more fuel-efficient, but other contributing factors are how people are keeping old cars longer, sharing cars, and driving less. | ||||||||
| Gotta Eat 'em All!: Pokémon Pancakes Posted: 03 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT
Rocket News 24 reports that Denny's restaurants in Japan are offering a new line of pancake dishes, including this one that looks like Pikachu. Sadly, this is only going on in Japan and these pancakes are only served to young children. As in actual children, not just the young at heart. | ||||||||
| Posted: 03 Apr 2014 07:30 AM PDT The French comedy channel Poisson Rouge (which translates to red fish but means goldfish) made a video to illustrate what can happen when two friends try to one-up each other by pulling ever more serious April Fool pranks. Poisson d'avril means “April fish,” which refers to the French custom of sticking a paper fish to a friend’s back on April Fools Day. But one mystery remains unsolved: why is that guy wearing a Christmas sweater in April? -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||

| How to Improve a Screwdriver Tip's Purchase: Laser-Etched Grooves Posted: 03 Apr 2014 07:00 AM PDT
When using a Phillips screwdriver, you may experience the tip slipping out. It can loose its grip on the screw, particularly when applying high torque. Here's a clever solution by the German toolmaker Wera. The designers used lasers to etch grooves into the tip in the direction that provides greater bite into the screw head. You can see more images and a video at Core 77. | ||||||||

| <i>My Little Pony</i> Hood Ornament Posted: 03 Apr 2014 06:00 AM PDT Hayden Sailer is a serious fan of Princess Luna from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. He rides around in style in a classic Oldsmobile decorated with a custom hood ornament that looks like the princess of the night. He made it with a 3D printer using a design that he found on Shapeways, then covered it with chrome paint. This is one of many Luna crafts that Sailer has made, the most of impressive of which is this elegant light-up cane sword. | ||||||||
| The Ultimate Tool For Camping Enthusiasts Posted: 03 Apr 2014 05:30 AM PDT Camping is awesome, but even the biggest enthusiast will agree that sometimes getting away from it all can be a little dirty. That's where the Road Shower comes in. This solar-heated shower attaches to any standard roof rack and can heat water to temperatures over 100 degrees -adding a little room temperature water can cool it down to a comfortable level. While solar-powered camping showers are nothing new, having one that can be pressurized and that attaches to your car rack is something refreshingly new and drastically better than the alternatives. It can even be used hands free. Read more about the neat device over at Homes and Hues: The Road Shower Gives You Warm, Pressurized Water Wherever You Go |
