| Redditors Reveal the Craziest Thing an Ex Did to Them Post Breakup Posted: 25 Apr 2015 04:00 AM PDT
Here are some psychotic highlights (rather, lowlights):
Ah, those Redditors. Even if you suspect a story is a figment of someone's overactive imagination, generally it's still a good story. Read more breakup antics here.Feeling bold? Share any of your bad breakup stories in the comments.  | ||||||||
| You Can Wear This Wetsuit Surfing or in the Office Posted: 25 Apr 2015 02:00 AM PDT When you leave home in the morning, are you going to work or to play? You can delay that decision with the True Wetsuit by Quicksilver. It’s a line of suits—complete with a shirt and tie—that you can surf in. Well, technically speaking, there’s nothing to stop you from surfing in your professionally tailored business suit. But Quicksilver claims that its suits will dry out after a thorough dousing in saltwater. You won’t need to change before heading into the office and explaining why you’re three hours late. Each suit costs about $2,500. You can see more photos at Spoon & Tamago. | ||||||||
| Posted: 25 Apr 2015 12:00 AM PDT The picture above looks like it is part of a particularly artful fashion shoot at the beach. You might be surprised to know that this color photograph was taken in 1913 -over a hundred years ago!
O’Gorman wasn’t even a professional photographer. This is one of a collection of family photographs he took. You can see more the photos at Mashable, including one of Christina wearing a hoodie that looks as if it could have been taken yesterday. -via Metafilter | ||||||||
| Chinese Government Cracking Down on Funeral Strippers Posted: 24 Apr 2015 11:00 PM PDT
The Chinese believe that one measure of the deceased is the number of people who show up at their funeral. As a result, large, flashy funeral processions that look more like parades with music, bands and dancers (as in the screen shot above) are common. Hiring exotic dancers and strippers for funerals is also popular in Taiwan, which is where the video footage below was shot by National Geographic. | ||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2015 10:00 PM PDT Cartoonist John Atkinson has a theme: he creates charts showing how things change over time, such as the typical song, the typical movie, and the typical TV show. His most recent cartoon shows the average day of a person from babyhood to the final years. His model of adulthood seems just about right. | ||||||||
| Posted: 24 Apr 2015 09:00 PM PDT An eagle owl in Noordeinde, the Netherlands, swoops down and lands on a guy’s head. He must not know the guy, or else why would he be constantly asking, “Who?” But he puts on a show for a bunch of photographers there, with a little dance as he’s perched on the man’s head! -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||
| Samurai Wars- Use The Force, Zatoichi! Posted: 24 Apr 2015 08:00 PM PDT Samurai Wars by Kinda Creative Everyone is waiting for the triumphant return of their favorite sci-fi franchise on the big screen, but fans might be disappointed if they see samurai swords instead of light sabers. We all know George based a lot of his far out star lore on elements found in Feudal era Japan, so maybe he should explore a different kind of war when he's done making all those sequels. Maybe we need a story about a war that took place a long, long time ago... Bring some Feudal era fun to your geeky wardrobe with this Samurai Wars t-shirt by Kinda Creative, it's the fun way to show love for samurai flicks and the return of your favorite sci-fi franchise!

| Hold the Mayo: The Burger Babe Bow Posted: 24 Apr 2015 08:00 PM PDT Texas crafter Kim Mills of the HappyMillsShop has crafted the Burger Babe Bow, a plush hair bow that looks a cheeseburger. Tasty! It features:

| <i>Too Many Kings</i>—A <i>Game of Thrones</i> Parody of <i>Too Many Cooks</i> Posted: 24 Apr 2015 07:00 PM PDT Too Many Cooks is a brilliantly innovative short film by Casper Kelly of Adult Swim. It starts out as a perfect parody of 80s sitcom introductions. Then it gets weird. Then it gets dark. It’s perfect and you should watch it. And you should watch Alex Jones’s Game of Thrones version that matches the original Too Many Cooks soundtrack with scenes from that show. As you might expect, the lyrics match the gory drama:
Content warning: violence and gore. -via Flavorwire | ||||||||
| Woman Builds Tiny 186-Square-Foot House to Avoid High Cost of Housing Posted: 24 Apr 2015 06:00 PM PDT
The attractive, light-filled dwelling, which Mori calls "Thousand Crow," is equipped with well-planned features such as a fan to vent the cat litter box and a number of built-in, space-saving storage solutions. | ||||||||
| When Peanuts Travels to Westeros, We All Win Posted: 24 Apr 2015 05:00 PM PDT Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Woodstock and the rest of the Peanuts gang might be have some humorous adventures in their ordinary suburban life, but in Westeros, no one is safe from death. Artist Philip Horoton has made a few great cartoons showing what happens when the Peanuts travel to the world of George R.R. Martin. While Philip has quite a few great comic mashups, these are so far the only two combining Peanuts and Game of Thrones, but I really hope he makes more because these are so promising already.

| What Aussies Know About America Posted: 24 Apr 2015 04:00 PM PDT Buzzfeed had Australians fill out a little quiz about America. We can’t expect people from other countries to know all the stuff about the U.S.A. that we know, but the Aussies did their best. When they couldn’t think of an answer, they always had something entertaining ready. In naming presidents, quite a few took a shortcut and said George Bush x2, which got them most of the way to three. Other answers were Jed Bartlett, Bill Pullman, and Donald Trump. The overwhelming opinion is that fast food is our biggest export, and the First Amendment must have something to do with guns. See them all here. | ||||||||
| Baby Madison Likes the Dark Side Posted: 24 Apr 2015 03:00 PM PDT New father Buddy Crotty is already aware that the dark side of the force is strong with his baby Madison. No mantra nor rallying cry of the rebel alliance will calm this kid. Thus, Buddy knows the imitation this situation calls for, and it works like a charm. -Via The Daily What . | ||||||||

| What if Man of Steel was IN COLOR? Posted: 24 Apr 2015 01:00 PM PDT The 2013 Superman movie Man of Steel was in color, alright, but it was muted and dark, trying to emulate the look of The Dark Knight. But what works for Batman doesn’t necessarily work for Superman. VideoLab adjusted the colors to look more like the real world, which makes a real difference, don’t you think? At least its much easier for someone with less-than-optimal eyesight to follow. -via b3ta | ||||||||

| Enter The Defenders - Superheroic Street Sweepers Posted: 24 Apr 2015 11:00 AM PDT The streets of Hell's Kitchen have been running red for decades, but those who call the neighborhood home are tired of standing by and watching the man they call Kingpin turn their hood into a warzone. They're banding together, defending their home with iron fist and power foot, willing to lay their lives on the line to keep the Kitchen safe from supervillainy. Will these daredevil heroes have the might and muscle needed to bring down Fisk's evil plans, or will the weight of monetary might crush these costume clad citizens before they can change the course?

| Hilarious Outtakes from Some of the Best Sci Fi Shows Posted: 24 Apr 2015 11:00 AM PDT Sci fi shows occassionally have levity, but they need to have believable drama or else they don't work. While that makes for great film and television, it doesn't give fans the best insight on how their favorite actors are on set. This awesome collection of sci fi bloopers featured on io9 shows what happens between the successful takes and reminds us that no matter how serious Worf, Scully, Starbuck and Agent Dunham appear on screen, the actors portraying them are still real, silly people. | ||||||||

| Proposal: Give College Students the Power to Fire Professors Posted: 24 Apr 2015 09:30 AM PDT
During the Fifth Century B.C., Athenians engaged in the usual practice of ostracism. Once a year, they took a popular vote. The person with the most votes was banished from the city. Ideally, this would remove the most hated person in the city. 2,500 years later, State Senator Mark Chelgren of Iowa has a proposal that’s strikingly similar. He thinks that some professors at state universities are incompetent. But because of tenure regulations, they get to keep their jobs for life. Chelgren has introduced a bill into the state legislature that would reduce these bad teachers by empowering students to fire a single professor every year. The process begins with the end-of-semester student evaluations. The Chronicle of Higher Education explains:
POLL: Should college students have the power to fire professors in this manner?

| 90-year-old Pilot Still Going Strong Posted: 24 Apr 2015 09:00 AM PDT Photo: Caters News Agency / Caters News Facebook page Paddy Elliot of Birmingham, UK, recently celebrated his 90th birthday, and also his medical certification to continue flying his plane! He’s been a pilot for decades, although he only took up flying when he retired at 64.
Elliot flies at least three times a week, and flew to France for lunch last week. To keep his license, he must pass a medical certification every two years, and recently got the all-clear to keep flying for another two years. Read more about the amazing flying nonagenarian and see a video of Elliot in action. It just goes to show that you’re never too old to take up something new. | ||||||||

| Fifteen Facts About <i>A Clockwork Orange</i> Posted: 24 Apr 2015 08:00 AM PDT Remember the disabled writer, F. Alexander, who lives at HOME in A Clockwork Orange? In a later scene with him, his musclebound assistant Julian is played by Darth Vader himself David Prowse, who was at the height of his bodybuilding involvement. Not only did Prowse have a role in the film, but he had the guts to stand up to Stanley Kubrick, which few actors ever did with the demanding and headstrong director.

| Presidents Removed From Their Coins Posted: 24 Apr 2015 07:30 AM PDT This is fun. The tiny heads of American presidents have been cut out of their coins (oops, Jefferson lost his phony tail in the process!). The cut coins are the handiwork of a friend of Imgur user pfefferminzetea who says "some kind of precision saw blade" was used to do the dirty work. Though, there's quite a debate on how precisely the presidents' heads were removed going on over at reddit. Before you ask, I checked, cutting coins is not illegal, unless you do it with the intent to defraud. But, I have a question, am I the only one who remembers when they used to have a cast member in Disney World's Liberty Square making cutout coin jewelry? | ||||||||
| <i>Downton Abbey</i>/<i>Star Wars</i> Fan Film Made by <i>Downton Abbey</i> Actors Posted: 24 Apr 2015 07:00 AM PDT Rob James-Collier is the actor who plays Thomas Barrow on Downton Abbey. James-Collier plays an evil butler, but he's a nice guy. He's raising money for children with multiple sclerosis. To encourage donations, he and other actors from the show are making a fan film series that brings their show into the Star Wars universe. Skip to the 1:29 mark in the video to see beginning of the film. The actors who play John Bates, Anna Bates, and Charles Carson make appearances. They shot all of the scenes between takes while filming Downton Abbey and used only smartphones to record video. This episode is free. James-Collier is charging money for future episodes. You can donate at his website, which is appropriately named Evil Butler. -via The Mary Sue | ||||||||
| Just Say "No" To These Terrible Wedding Proposals Posted: 24 Apr 2015 06:30 AM PDT There are a million reasons why putting a ring in your prospective fiance's food is a terrible idea, but when you can't even be bothered to sneak the thing into something a little more classy than a budget chicken sandwich from your local fast food restaurant, you have to ask yourself: do you really even care if she says yes? And of course, spelling things out in flower petals is entirely romantic, but maybe you should consult a dictionary before you ask her to "merry" you. We at Neatorama are suckers for a good love story, but most of these proposals at Awkward Family Photos are anything but -although I wouldn't mind a Star Wars or Pokemon proposal. | ||||||||
