| What? Don't You Want to Have Kids Someday? Posted: 30 Jun 2014 04:00 AM PDT At no point before or after I had children have I had any doubt that I wanted to have kids. But it's not for everyone. There trade-offs. Sarah Andersen wants to keep her ice cream. And possibly her sanity. -via Pleated Jeans  | ||||||||

| Posted: 30 Jun 2014 02:00 AM PDT Ross Exton of the Live Science Team shows us a magic trick, with a science lesson on how it really works. You can put completely transparent glass in completely transparent water, or completely transparent air, of that matter, and still see it. But some materials, like completely transparent glycerol, can change that effect in a totally weird way. -via Laughing Squid | ||||||||
| A Lyre Made Out Of A Human Skull Posted: 30 Jun 2014 01:00 AM PDT The lyre is a distant relative of the modern day guitar, yet it’s not really considered the type of instrument a heavy metal band would want to play onstage, but maybe this morbid instrument will change their mind. This is a lyre made from a human skull, as well as antelope horns, guts, skin and hair, and it’s probably the most metal instrument I’ve ever seen! It dates back to the 19th century, and is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, at least until some extremely wealthy rock god snatches it up for their own wicked purposes... -Via io9 | ||||||||
| Posted: 30 Jun 2014 12:00 AM PDT Yes, Barbie once owned her dream house. And a dream car. But now she's taking her final ride in Kat's Barbie Dream Hearse. This beautiful art car based in Seattle is available for rent. You can be chauffeured for a child's birthday party, a bachelorette party, or, I suppose, a funeral. The Dream Hearse is a 1992 Cadillac Brougham Superior. Several expert craftsmen meticulously worked over the interior and exterior to make it into a 7-passenger limousine. It is an excellent car and, as Kat reveals in the FAQ, her only car. -via Super Punch | Photos: Kat/Barbie Dream Hearse | ||||||||
| Ain't No Mountain High Enough Bass Line Posted: 29 Jun 2014 11:00 PM PDT About a year ago, we saw a graphic visualization of James Jamerson’s bass line in the song “For Once in My Life.” Now we have another visualization of the late bassist’s talents on Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s 1967 version of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” thanks to musician Jack Stratton. | ||||||||
| These Critters Are Ready For Their Close-Up Posted: 29 Jun 2014 10:00 PM PDT (Image Via Cute Animals) Humans naturally assume that animals don’t understand cameras, or get what we’re doing when we point that box thing with the big glass eye at them, but these adorable pics prove they know all about how cameras work: (Image Via Sad And Useless) These pics are so perfectly timed you’d think the photographers caught their subjects unaware, but these blooper shots are considered the height of fashion in the animal kingdom because animals know that life is too short to take a boring picture: (Image Via izismile) Maybe these critters are on to something, maybe we need to take less duck faced selfies and stop taking ourselves so seriously in photos!

| Wedge Shoes Filled with Barbie Heads Posted: 29 Jun 2014 09:00 PM PDT I have the look for you this summer. Crocs? Uggs? No. The future is Barbie head shoes. Jeffrey Campbell designed these gorgeous wedges that will definitely make people look at you twice. Surely there could be no better way to express your sense of style than by walking on severed doll heads. -via Caroline Pardilla | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2014 08:00 PM PDT If you saw a UFO in Hawaii yesterday, consider it identified. NASA has been working on a flying saucer, called the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD), designed for landing large payloads on Mars. The LDSD was lifted by balloon to about 120,000 feet before it dropped away from the balloon and flew under its own power for 30 minutes. After splashdown, the saucer, data recorders, and parachute were recovered successfully. The LDSD itself performed well, which was the main goal of the test. Two landing technologies were also tested, with mixed results.
Two more test flights are planned for the LDSD. Read more about the project at NASA. -via The Mary Sue | ||||||||
| Cleaner Fish Gives Stressed Fish Client a Massage Posted: 29 Jun 2014 07:00 PM PDT
Stressed out? A relaxing massage could help calm you down, but what if you're a fish? Turns out, the same thing applies. Marta Soares of the ISPA University Institute in Lisbon, Portugal, and colleagues, noticed that in addition to removing parasites and dead skins, bluestreak cleaner wrasses often give their "clients" pelvic and pectoral fin massages - just think of them as the equivalent of human backrubs. "We know that fish experience pain," Soares told NewScientist, "maybe fish have pleasure, too." To check whether those massages are beneficial, Soares put stressed out surgeonfish in two tanks with a model cleaner fish - one tank has a stationary model and the other a model that moves back and forth to provide physical stimulation. All surgeonfish approached the model, but only those in the tank with the moving model could get the physical fin massage. When Soares and colleagues tested the level of the stress hormone cortisol of the two groups, the scientists found that only the surgeonfish that have contact with the moving model have lowered stress level. It's obvious how cleaner wrasses benefit from the relationship - they get to feed on debris they remove from their clients, but what do the clients get in return? Why would the clients return to the wrasses and even "wait in line" to be cleaned? "The discovery of a positive effect of physical contact in a reef fish ... resolves a long-standing paradox described in cleaning mutualism involving cleaner wrasses and their clients," said co-author Alexandra Grutter to Cosmos. | ||||||||
| Tiny Shark Bites Man in the Cutest Shark Attack Ever Posted: 29 Jun 2014 06:00 PM PDT Carlos and his friends went scuba diving. Little did they know that an adorable menace lay beneath the surface, eager to feed upon human flesh--the tuna from the land. The little shark pounced upon the human and began dragging him underwater. Or just grasping on to his swimsuit. Carlos narrowly escaped. But as you can see from the end of the video, he's lucky that the shark didn't hit him a few inches to the right. -via Huffington Post | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2014 05:00 PM PDT This is a short documentary about three 6-year-old girls. They like pink. In fact, they wear pink crash helmets and call themselves the “Pink Helmet Posse” as they shred through the skatepark. They fall, they cry, they get right back up and try it again. Bella, Sierra, and Relz want to someday be professional skateboarders. Read more about the Pink Helmet Posse at The New York Times, and check out their website, too. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2014 04:00 PM PDT It’s unclear whether the guy in this photo was trying to be ironic by wearing a necklace adorned with fake doggy doo to some (I’m guessing) fashionable event, or if he’s simply the proud owner of a novelty company that specializes in realistic looking dog mess. Hopefully he’s just the proud owner of a gag gifts company, happily displaying his wares so the world can see how versatile rubber poop can be, but he's probably just some fashionable fop who thought he was being "edgy" by slinging rubber crap around his neck. Well, if you see a new line of clothing called Crapay (or something equally odious) you’ll know who’s behind the label! -Via Cheezburger | ||||||||

| Misty from <i>Pokémon</i> Has Bulked Up Posted: 29 Jun 2014 02:00 PM PDT
Here she is protrayed by Zeek Kotwal, a model and (obviously) serious bodybuilder. He markets himself as an event presenter, public speaker, and (presumably) Pokémon trainer. You can see more images of him in costume on his Facebook page. -via Kotaku | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2014 01:00 PM PDT I’d put in something -wouldn’t you? This Game of Thrones-themed tip jar is obviously working for someone. Posted at reddit a while back, it is now just one of a Buzzfeed collection of 27 clever tip jars that make people smile, and then put some money in. | ||||||||
| Kentucky Fried Chicken Gold Chicken Bone Necklaces Posted: 29 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT Kentucky for Kentucky is an organization that promotes tourism in that fair commonwealth where state officials must take an oath against dueling. Its artwork and media projects are very inventive. They include KFC-scented candles, redecorated state maps, and the ABCs of Kentucky. Now, to celebrate the state's most popular culinary accomplishment--Kentucky Fried Chicken--Kentucky for Kentucky has turned KFC chicken bones into gold jewelry.
It commissioned Meghan Carroll, a jeweler, to turn chicken bones into gold necklaces. So Carroll and her boyfriend ate a large number of KFC chicken wings, then cleaned and painted the chicken bones with 14-karat gold. -via Dave Barry | ||||||||

Rejoice! We've just posted a bunch of new funny pics over at our LOLpic blog NeatoPicto. Check 'em out:

| The Hot Summer Look For Really Hairy Guys Posted: 29 Jun 2014 11:00 AM PDT (Image Via Seriously For Real) There’s a fun new personal grooming trend aimed at guys with lots of body hair, those lucky(?) guys with a thick coat of shag growing out of their torso. Some call it the Redneck Bikini, others the Macho Mankini, but I like to think of it as the Curly Crop Top: (Image Via Pinterest) It's a classic look that will make your less hairy friends turn green with envy, as you strut around town looking like a total boss in your hairy bikini top: (Image Via Tumblr) Do you feel like the Mankini isn't manly enough to get you a date? Turns out ladies love the look of a hairy Mankini too, just ask this guy: (Image Via WeirdNutDaily) He's livin' large with six pack abs and a Mankini, and wherever he goes the Mankini party is sure to follow! The Macho Mankini look is sure to be all the rage at your local (place where people take off their shirts) this summer, so if you've got the chest hair to spare why not try one on for size? Bonus points if you can shave the straps going all the way around into your backhair. | ||||||||
| Fish Take the Escalators at Abandoned Mall Posted: 29 Jun 2014 10:00 AM PDT
"Down a nondescript soi [ed.: Thai term for "side street"] in old town Bangkok lies a relatively unknown hidden gem. Without a good knowledge of Bangkok geography, one would be hard pressed to believe anything interesting lies behind this gate. The posted sign reads in Thai "strictly no entrance beyond this point." Rockwell described waiting for a policeman sitting outside to leave, after which he went inside and explored what was once the New World Shopping Mall. A four-story structure, it was originally built as an 11-story building, which violated local zoning codes allowing for only four stories. Images Credit: Jesse Rockwell. | ||||||||
| After The First Kiss Comes THE SLAP Posted: 29 Jun 2014 09:00 AM PDT He started his social experimenting days with a mushy video called FIRST KISS, featuring total strangers kissing each other for the first time, now filmmaker Max Landis is back to take his experiments even further- by getting random people to slap each other. There’s something delightfully voyeuristic about watching a bunch of people slap each other across the face, and I can’t help but wonder if some of the participants became friends, or bitter enemies, after sharing a slap: Max insists that "none of the participants were pressured to do so and all of them were “hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit”, but a few of those slaps look like they really hurt! -Via Beautiful/Decay | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2014 08:00 AM PDT Jalopnik’s Andrew P. Collins speculates that some owner finally got sick of trying to keep the rust off this old XJ and decided that cutting a third of it off would solve the problem. Now put a ramp up to the tailgate, and you’d also have a great way to transport a restored classic British bike. There’s little information available about this British El Camino, but there’s a sign behind it that says “Galleria Esplanad.” That’s a shopping mall in Helsinki. | ||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2014 07:00 AM PDT Telling someone they do something “like a girl” has always been meant as an insult, and we internalized that at a very young age. No kid wants to be compared to a girl -even the girls! When I was young, we didn’t like it, but we just took it as the way things are. If we said anything about it, we were laughed at and labeled a “women’s libber” when I was young, or a “feminazi” today. This lesson in inferiority still goes on. Running or throwing badly has less to do with sex than it has to do with experience, training, and most of all, encouragement. Why bother to practice throwing a ball if you’re cursed with inferior ability? | ||||||||
| Fifteen Fascinating Facts About Sonic The Hedgehog Posted: 29 Jun 2014 06:00 AM PDT Sonic earned his nickname by running really, really fast, just like his buddy Tails earned his name by having two tails, and Dr. Robotnik earned a PhD in robotics and a nickname to boot, but how did SEGA settle on a hedgehog as the main character instead of a rabbit, armadillo or a chicken wearing overalls? And as for Dr. Robotnik, did you know he was initially going to be the star of the game? The original concept design for the character looked like Teddy Roosevelt, which SEGA felt would be a great way to appeal to Americans: Okay, now I really want to see a Dr. Robotnik in Dreamland game!
