| Cartoonist Explains What It’s Like to Have Anxiety Posted: 29 Apr 2015 03:00 AM PDT Sophie Wright, a cartoonist, has anxiety. If you don’t have it, it can be hard to explain the experience. But Sophie has more than words to offer. In a 9-part cartoon, she illustrates what it’s like to live this way and how people can respond helpfully. She starts out with her umbrella metaphor, which is really good. But she’s just warming up. Read the whole thing. -via Geek x Girls | ||||||||
| Someone Made a Horse Head Mask Ice Sculpture Posted: 29 Apr 2015 02:00 AM PDT You know that latex horse head mask that has taken over the world? Yeah, that one. Well, redditor JJmann asked an important question in an Amazon review: "If I plugged the holes up, filled it with water and put it in my freezer, do you think I could create an ice sculpture of a horse head with this?" People answered. They said it couldn't be done. They were wrong. It totally can be done. JJmann reports, "The mask did not survive the procedure." Want to try this on your own? Better pick up one of these first. | ||||||||
| What a Master of the Castanets Can Do Posted: 29 Apr 2015 01:00 AM PDT Mechanically speaking, castanets are simple instruments: just pairs of joined shells. You can slap them together. But Lucero Tena can do a lot more than that. She’s considered to be one of the finest castanet players in the world. Here she performs La Boda de Luis Alonso at the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid. Tena joins the orchestra at 1:10 mark. It is a full body performance. The music seems to capture Tena as she moves far more than just her hands to play these small instruments. -via The Presurfer | ||||||||

| Delightfully Dated 80s Magazines Posted: 28 Apr 2015 10:00 PM PDT Mental Floss perused the Internet Archive, which scans magazines, making them available for vintage amusement seekers far and wide. Shown here is STARLOG circa 1988, a publication that served as a reference for all things Trek and other things sci fi, which ran from 1976-2009.  Weirdest article: A six-page feature that attempts to make sense of Beetlejuice -- meaning, genre, everything.  Fan club membership only $9.95, includes embroidered patch! Most dated merchandise: Collectibles from the television miniseries V, complete with 80s-massive-haired spokesmodel. Read the rest of this edition of STARLOG magazine online at the Internet Archive, and see ten more magazines of the delightfully dated variety here. | ||||||||
| Man Uses McDonald’s Burger Machine to Build Largest Burger Possible Posted: 28 Apr 2015 09:00 PM PDT Some McDonald’s outlets have computer kiosks that let you design a burger. The kiosk sends the order to the counter and the people in the kitchen build it to your specifications. Moshe Tamssot decided to find out what was the largest burger that the system would allow him to build. This is the result. He recorded the event and uploaded the video onto YouTube. There’s a great moment at the 1:31 mark in the video when the McDonald’s worker sees the order. You can almost see the thought processes in her head. Sensibly, she goes to alert the manager. Tamssot discovered a bug in the burger machine program. Technically speaking, his burger should cost $890.80. But the system won’t accept a charge higher than $24.89 per burger. -via Geekologie | ||||||||

| Photos of Mark Hamill’s Family Visiting the Set of <i>Return of the Jedi</i> Posted: 28 Apr 2015 07:00 PM PDT Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker, brought his family to the set of Return of the Jedi in 1983. His wife and his son had a lot of fun with the props and costumes. Hamill recently displayed the photos at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim. Young Nathan Hamill found that R2-D2 offered a great hiding spot and that Yoda’s hut was just the right size for him. You can see more photos here. -via reddit | ||||||||
| An Assortment Of Sinfully Strange Subcultures Posted: 28 Apr 2015 06:00 PM PDT Strange subcultures are constantly rising to the surface amidst the sea of people floating through life in Mundania, but only a select few become an island of individuality. Most subcultures spring up around a particular kind of music, era of history or style of dress, but the internet has brought a whole new level of strangeness to subcultures. For instance, there’s an entire group of people with their own website dedicated to every single thing this guy does: And if you spend enough time online you might come across the colorful kooks who are part of the Ship Of Fools, the self proclaimed "magazine of Christian unrest" who are obviously big fans of Ned Flanders See the rest of the 25 Insane Subcultures You Won't Believe Actually Exist here | ||||||||
| 90-Year Old Tortoise Now Moves Faster on Wheels Posted: 28 Apr 2015 05:00 PM PDT Mrs. T is a pet tortoise in Pembrokeshire, UK. She’s about 90 years old. During the past winter, she was hibernating in an outdoor shed. Rats chewed her front legs off. She had lost too much to use prosthetic feet. So her owner, Jude Ryder, and his son, an engineer, came up with this solution: wheels. They’re from a toy airplane. The axle is fixed onto her shell with resin. Mrs. T quickly learned how to use the wheels. In fact, according to Ryder, Mrs. T can now move even faster than ever before! -via The Soul Is Bone | ||||||||
| How Bald Celebrities Look With Hair Posted: 28 Apr 2015 04:00 PM PDT Like non-celebrities, famous men sometimes go bald. That's just a fact of life, but have you ever wondered how certain celebrities famous for their bald hairstyles would actually look with hair? If so, you're in luck because Buzzfeed has exactly what you're looking for, complete with a fun sliding bar so you can compare how the celebrity really looks to how they would look with these Photoshopped locks. Interestingly, some of the stars actually look a lot better bald, but I'll leave that up to you to decide which ones. | ||||||||
| Stained Glass Art Made from Melted Gummy Bears Posted: 28 Apr 2015 03:00 PM PDT Back in 1998, Spanish artist Merta Alonso Yebra wanted to experiment with stained glass. But she didn’t have the specialized equipment necessary to melt and manage glass. She discovered an alternative: gummy bears. They melt at a much lower temperature than glass and can be poured and shaped using ordinary kitchen implements. Yebra melts the gummy bears, then pours them in successive layers, creating what she calls “a wall full of colors.” In addition to being pretty, they smell nice—which is another advantage over glass. | ||||||||
| 12 Unusual City Slogans on Welcome Signs Posted: 28 Apr 2015 02:00 PM PDT This is the sign that welcomes you to the small town of Rennie, Manitoba. The village authorities who came up with this certainly had a sense of humor -and aspirations of someday having something worth bragging about. The people of some small towns are really good at poking fun at themselves, making you want to visit for that reason alone. Years ago, I commuted between Jackson and Paris, Tennessee, every day for a few weeks, which is a good hour’s drive each way. I’d pass the sign welcoming drivers to the town of Henry that said, “If you lived in Henry, you’d be home now.” It always made me think about moving to Henry, even though you could barely tell there was a town there. Oddee has a roundup of a dozen such memorable signs that riff on the town’s name, personality, or even its (lack of) size. -via mental_floss | ||||||||
| Pancake the Cheetah Cub Paired With Dayo the Ridgeback Pup, All is Right With Their World Posted: 28 Apr 2015 01:00 PM PDT
As is common practice at zoos and wildlife facilities with cheetah cubs who are not being raised by their parents, cubs are paired with canine puppies. Pancake met her match on April 15th in a Rhodesian ridgeback puppy who shares her birth date. The ridgeback is named "Dayo," meaning "joy arrives." Dayo has lived up to his name, becoming inseparable with Pancake, who likes to sleep, play and cuddle with him. The pair will live out their lives in each others' company.

| Haters Gonna Hate - They See Sloth Rollin', They Hatin' Posted: 28 Apr 2015 12:00 PM PDT Haters Gonna Hate by SmannaTales Some people talk trash about those who choose to live life on their own terms, but if there's one thing you can count on in life it's that haters are gonna hate. Don't let those small-minded squares get you down, ride around town your way and let the haters hate on. Sloths with this much swagger shouldn't have to keep their coolness contained in the trees, they gotta get out and stretch their legs a bit, maybe take a slow ride around town on their lowrider bicycle, the one with the apehanger handlebars for added swag... Show off your unique sense of style with this Haters Gonna Hate t-shirt by SmannaTales, it's the sloth-tastic way to celebrate individuality.

| Posted: 28 Apr 2015 11:00 AM PDT In a way, films are a lot like food. Sometimes you want something amazing that is so complex it will challenge your existing notions about your current tastes. On the other hand, something you want something light that you won't need to think about later. And there are days where even if you know it's not great you just want something that makes you feel comfortable by reminding you of home. This cute comic by Cheekylicious shows what kind of foods some of our favorite directors might make if they were actually chefs. So which one do you prefer? Via Geeks Are Sexy | ||||||||
| Finnish Man Gets $58,000 Speeding Ticket Posted: 28 Apr 2015 10:00 AM PDT
Kimmo Kiiski of the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications told the New York Times that if Kuisla was driving three kilometers per hour slower, his ticket would have been around $100. Read about Kuisla's angry response, exactly how Finnish tickets are calculated and the debate as to the Finnish system's merit at the New York Times.

| Posted: 28 Apr 2015 09:00 AM PDT When you’ve already got flavors that people can’t get enough of, combining them in one bag may be the wave of the future. Doritos Roulette is mostly regular nacho cheese-flavored chips, but one out of every six chips is a super spicy hot version. And you can’t tell which is which by looking at them. You buy a bag; you take your chances. The company has been test-marketing Doritos Roulette in different places: they debuted in Mexico in 2012, and have been sold in Canada since last year. Doritos plans a limited run of about 12 weeks in the U.S.
Consider that good advice. Doritos Roulette is in stores now. They will cost you: the suggested retail price for the 9.5 ounce bags is $4.29 and $1.49 for the little 3 ounce bags. -via Geeks Are Sexy | ||||||||

| Cool Facts You Might Not Know About Disney Parks Posted: 28 Apr 2015 06:00 AM PDT We at Neatorama love Disney and have featured a lot of trivia about the Disney parks, but even with all the coverage we've done, I was happily surprised to see that this cool Travel and Leisure article actually had quite a few facts that even I hadn't read about yet. For example, did you know that the clothing worn by the presidents in the Hall of Presidents not only looks period appropriate, but were even made in a period appropriate manner? Or that the Disneyland Railroad is ran on French fry oil? And as for those pesky wait times:

The authors, at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, report:
The Goodness of Relatively More Sex I examine how respondents’ frequency of sex, as well as the average sexual frequency of their cohort, influences their happiness. The findings suggest that happiness is positively correlated with their own sexual frequency, but inversely correlated with the sexual frequency of others. _____________________
