| Posted: 28 Jun 2014 04:00 AM PDT (Image Via Imgur) There’s a lonely old motel out on Highway 95 that is downright terrifying to stay in, and considered by many guests to be haunted. This motel is home to thousands of clowns, and even if you’re not currently scared of clowns you will be after staying at Tonopah, Nevada’s Clown Motel: (Image Via Imgur) The clowns are just the beginning of the creepy factor found in this odd relic from the boomtown's past, and people who come for the clowns stay for the fact that it's graveyard adjacent. (Image Via Imgur) That's right- if the clowns don't get you, the ghosts of a bunch of gold miners who fell victim to the "Tonopah Plague" back in 1902 certainly will! Personally, I'd be more comfortable sleeping in the graveyard than a dirty old motel full of clown "memorabilia", but that's just me... -Via Roadtrippers | ||||||||
| Creeptastic Halloween Costumes Circa 1875–1955 Posted: 28 Jun 2014 02:00 AM PDT English artist and musician Ossian Brown's book Haunted Air is filled with these spectacular vintage photographs of American Halloween festivities between 1875-1955. The author collected the photographs from a number of old photo albums. Brown delighted in the resourcefulness of the subjects, some of whom were living in poverty, yet still combined the dark side of their imaginations with ingenuity to produce what he calls “these incredible and phantasmagorical apparitions." The frightening black-and-white captures of homemade masks and costumes are perfect inspiration for tales of horror. Some images remind me of The Shining and other books and films that make great use of flashbacks to horrific pasts. The foreword to Haunted Air is penned by film director and master of surrealist horror David Lynch. He writes in part,

| Strange Dog Appears in Locked Car Posted: 28 Jun 2014 12:00 AM PDT A woman in the town of Adenau, Germany, attended a religious service and returned to her car. When she unlocked it, she found a dog inside -but it wasn’t her dog! She drove the dachshund to the local police station. No one could figure out how the dog got into the car. Then another woman came into the station to report her dog missing from her car. | ||||||||

If you want the best in sports concession food, head to Wisconsin. Those people know how to eat well! This is a bratwurst lollipop, a snack on sale at a recent Madison Mallards baseball game. It's a bratwurst patty deep fried in funnel cake batter and maple syrup. Yummy! -via That's Nerdalicious! | ||||||||
| Artist Turns Pencils Into Rustic Wooden Vases Posted: 27 Jun 2014 10:00 PM PDT What can you do with a bunch of pencils besides sharpen them up and draw with them? Some people might start a pencil fighting league, others would glue them together and make a number 2 log cabin, but Finnish artist Tuomas Markunpoika uses them to create a unique take on home décor- wooden pencil vases. The beauty of these vases isn't necessarily in their unique look, but rather in the ingenious way Tuomas goes about making each one: Tuomas glues the pencils together into sheets, stacks the sheets up to a desired thickness then uses a machine lathe to carve them into a delightfully artsy vase, the combination of meticulously handmade element and a bit of machining giving each vase a uniquely rustic look and enhanced durability. -Via Bored Panda | ||||||||
| Chimpanzees Develop a Fashion Trend Posted: 27 Jun 2014 09:00 PM PDT For the first time, a troop of chimpanzees have been observed participating in a fad, a meme, or actually a fashion statement. The trend is to wear a blade of grass sticking out of one ear. It’s become a tradition among chimps of one troop in Zambia. This behavior was written up by Edwin van Leeuwen of the Max Planck Institute in the Netherlands. It started when a chimp named Julie put grass in one ear. Seven of the 11 chimps in her troop were soon wearing grass in one ear, and continued even after Julie’s death. There is no known advantage to grass in the ear, especially in just one ear.
This is how you do science, folks -a year of watching chimps to see if they stick grass in their ear. Let’s hope they were observing other behaviors as well. Van Leeuwen compares this grass-in-ear fad with human groups that wear earrings or a certain kind of hat. -via reddit | ||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jun 2014 08:00 PM PDT What's harder than flawlessly pulling off all of the hula hoop tricks that Rachael performs in this video? I imagine it would be thinking of any additional hula hoop tricks that Rachael doesn't perform in this video. Short of lighting the hoop on fire and making it disappear, I think she has it covered. If you've been waiting all of your life for a hula hoop guru, Rachael gives lessons via Skype and teaches workshops. | ||||||||
| Dad Creates Letters out of Food to Teach His Daughter the Alphabet Posted: 27 Jun 2014 07:00 PM PDT Tommy Perez is an artist and designer. His young daughter, Zoë, is learning how to read. She's just getting started with the alphabet and Perez wants to help her. So he's creating letters using some of her favorite foods. He calls the project "AtoZoë." It began with applesauce, one of her favorite foods, and is proceeding through the alphabet. You can view more images in the series at his Instagram account. -via Foodiggity | ||||||||
| Oddly Soothing Videos Of A Golden Retriever Eating Fruits And Vegetables Posted: 27 Jun 2014 06:00 PM PDT There’s something so soothing about watching this golden retriever named Coco-chan happily nibbling away on an ear of corn, or silently slurping away on a watermelon wedge. Maybe it’s the way her eyes seem to stare into your very soul, maybe it’s the beauty of watching man’s best friend enjoy some fresh fruits and vegetables, or maybe the act of watching Coco-chan's videos is in itself a form of meditation. No wonder Coco-chan has her own YouTube channel, which is chock full of videos that allow us a peek into the life of one gloriously zen golden retriever. Watch and reflect on your own love of produce... -Via Boing Boing | ||||||||

| There May be a Crocodile in a River in England Posted: 27 Jun 2014 04:00 PM PDT
There are several rivers in England named Avon. There's one in Bristol in southern England. Much of it flows through pretty countryside and is a favored spot for hikers and boaters. But you may want to stay out of the water for a little while. Several people claim to have seen a crocodile swimming in the river. There is even a photograph of what appears to be the head of an crocodile in the water. It was first spotted in February. Police conducted a search, but found nothing. There were further sightings as the months passed. Tom Aditya was among the witnesses. He shot this video of what he claimed was the crocodile. He said that birds in the water fled in fright as the object approached them. Could a crocodile survive in England? Herpetologists say yes:
In the meantime, local residents are taking any chances. They've put up warning signs along the river to let people know about the menace in the water. | ||||||||
| How Long Will You Survive In The Chamber? Posted: 27 Jun 2014 03:00 PM PDT When you have time to kill online, like a whole lotta time, you can end up deep inside a clickhole- a word that means what it sounds like it means, and it's also the name of a website which is home to quizzes that are a total waste of time, like this hauntingly mysterious quiz How Long Will You Survive The Chamber? Once you start clicking, reading, clicking, choosing then clicking again you’ll find yourself having some sort of adventure involving something called the Sightless Finder, which is apparently blind but can still find stuff, and a creeping madness threatening to overtake your mind... Have fun storming the chamber! | ||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jun 2014 02:00 PM PDT You know horses love cats, but folks who live in rural areas know horses love goats even more. I know several people who got a goat to keep their horse company, even if there are other horses around, because a goat keeps them calm. Here, Mr. G is either babysitting, or kid-sitting, or just sitting, actually, and enjoying a nice goat massage. -via Arbroath | ||||||||

| The Most Ridiculous Schwarzenegger Compilation Ever Made Posted: 27 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT Fartzenegger is one of those videos you find online that initially makes you wonder why anybody would spend time making such a thing, but if you have a silly sense of humor, a nostalgiac love of Ahnold’s old movies and a few minutes to kill you might just see the merit of making such a ridiculous video. Distractotron Channel sure did, they're the makers of this fine compilation video, and they want you to know that no actual farts were used in the making of this video. None. Just some Foley sounds at the touch of a button and excellent comedic timing. Fartzenegger is a bawdy little guilty pleasure of a video with some genuinely funny moments, and if you can hear the farts in your head it’s almost as funny with the sound off!

| Bear Crashes Party and Eats Cupcakes Posted: 27 Jun 2014 11:00 AM PDT Alicia Bishop and Glenn Merrill of Juneau, Alaska, were celebrating their child’s birthday Wednesday when a bear fell through the skylight of their living room! "I was literally in the room, and I heard this cracking," Merrill told the paper, describing the sound of the skylight's plexiglass creaking under the bear. "And the next thing you know, there's this bear that, I mean, literally, fell right from (the skylight). It was like one metre away from me." Wildlife officials believe that the bear was a juvenile male, weighing about 82 kilograms (180 pounds). -via Digg | ||||||||
| 11-Year Old Invents a Gadget to Prevent Parents from Leaving Their Babies in Hot Cars Posted: 27 Jun 2014 10:00 AM PDT Parenting is a long period of anxiety punctuated by moments of sheer terror. Parenting a baby is a particularly stressful time because a child is at a very physically vulnerable point and the parent may be inexperienced in caring for children. Parents strap their babies and toddlers into car seats and drive. On rare occasions, a parent may forget that a young child is in the back and accidentally leave him/her in the car alone. In hot summer weather, this can kill a child. It's every parent's worse nightmare. When my children were younger, it was a constant source of anxiety for me. Although I never left my kids in the car, I was afraid that I would. Even when I knew that I was driving alone, I would check the car seats.
Though he is only 11 years old, Andrew Pelham of Nashville, Tennessee understands this worry. That's why he invented the EZ Baby Saver. It's a simple device designed to remind parents that there's a kid in the backseat. It's made of duct tape and rubber bands. The driver attaches it to the car door inside handle and the back of the seat. It forms an obstruction which prevents the driver from exiting the vehicle. This, Andrew hopes, will remind the driver to check the backseat.
Andrew won a young inventors' contest with the EZ Baby Saver. But all he wants to do is save lives:

| The Ultimate Escalator Fails Compilation Posted: 27 Jun 2014 09:00 AM PDT I feel really sorry for people who fall on escalators, especially elderly people, but most of the clips in this compilation are young people trying to pull stunts that just plain backfire. You could say they got what was coming to them, although I hope there were no broken bones as a result. Maybe they’ve learned their lessons by now. Oh, don't try this at home -or in a shopping mall, either. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||

| A Real Krusty Krab Restaurant from <i>SpongeBob SquarePants</i> Posted: 27 Jun 2014 08:30 AM PDT On the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, the titular character works as a fry cook at a restaurant called The Krusty Krab. Early news reports are uncertain, but it appears that a real version of this restaurant is under construction in Ramallah, Palestine. An Arabic-language Facebook page purports to be the official site for this business. It shows many photos of the construction of the building. One of those photos shows Mr. Krabs himself overseeing the construction. Good for him! That's the only way that he can be sure that the builders don't waste a single penny of his money. There are no photos of Plankton sneaking around the place. But you can be sure that he's there, somewhere. -via Nerdcore | ||||||||

| "Poop is the Perfect Evidence": How Scientists Discovered that Neanderthals Ate Their Veggies Posted: 27 Jun 2014 05:30 AM PDT
That's what Ainara Sistiaga and colleagues did at an archaeological dig in Spain to add further support that Neanderthals weren't the purely meat-eating species as their modern day reputation suggested - they were actually veggie lovers, too. "Poo is the perfect evidence," said Sistiaga to the BBC, "because you're sure that it was consumed."
Chemical analysis revealed traces of plant-derived esters, which suggest that Neanderthals had a "significant intake of plants." Read the entire post over at the BBC. (Inset photo: Memo Angeles/Shutterstock) |

Yet another reason why you should eat your veggies: in 50,000 years, future archaeologists may be examining your fossilized poop.
Fossilised bits of faeces, or "coprolites", which glow under blue light because of their high phosphate content, were found nearby the tell-tale samples with high levels of plant-derived chemicals.
