| Posted: 06 Apr 2015 04:00 AM PDT Your human has placed you in the bathtub. Now water flows over your body, sadly removing all of the good scents that you have worked to hard to accumulate. It is a sad time. But it is also a contempative time. Let the water pulse over your body. Let your mind relax and reach new, previously unconsidered possibilities. These are shower thoughts. The subreddit Dog Shower Thoughts is a place for your dog to submit his own. Jamie Jones of BuzzFeed illustrated 15 moments of profound canine wisdom.  | ||||||||
| Baby Elephant Needs Encouragement from Family to Cross the Road Posted: 06 Apr 2015 03:00 AM PDT This adorable elephant calf seems afraid to cross the road. The adults with him (presumably one or both of his parents) gently and lovingly nudge him forward with their trunks and forelegs. The footage was captured in Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. -Via Arbroath | ||||||||
| Technically Speaking, Wonder Woman Is Bulletproof Posted: 06 Apr 2015 02:00 AM PDT She's not as invulnerable as Superman, but small arms fire can't hurt her a bit. It just . . . nudges her. A little bit. Enough to be noticeable. And enough to annoy her. Photoshop artist Kerry Callen rewrites classic comic books to show funny scenes. In the past, he's created animated .gifs of famous covers, depicted Batman as a hoarder, and shown what Superman is trying to do in his first appearance. | ||||||||

Now she shows us 9 more problems that people with short hair probably never think about. | ||||||||

| Posted: 05 Apr 2015 08:00 PM PDT Yamaha is popularly known for producing two types of consumer goods: motorcycles and musical instruments. In an experiment called AH A MAY (Yamaha spelled backwards), the company switched design teams from its motorcycle and musical instrument divisions. Now the musical instrument designers were tasked with coming up with a motorcycle and the motorcycle engineers had to build a new type of musical instrument. One of the musical instruments that resulted from this switch is the Raijin, which means "God of Thunder." It's a drum kit that wraps completely around the drummer's body. Rain Noe of Core77 points out that it looks like something you'd expect to use in zero gravity. Here's a video showing a drummer releasing thunder from the God of Thunder. | ||||||||
| A Quick History of Cadbury Eggs Posted: 05 Apr 2015 06:00 PM PDT If you're among the many, many people out there who recently gulped down the sugary filling from a Cadbury Egg today, chances are you probably didn't think for a second about how that particular Easter confection got its start. But the story of the Cadbury Egg is surprisingly interesting. It all started in 1824, when John Cadbury opened up a shop in Birmingham, England. No, it wasn't a candy shop -it was a cafe. In 1831, he and his brother decided to open a factory to produce better drinking chocolate for the cafe. It wasn't until much later that Cadbury even started working on making moldable chocolate and his famous egg wasn't born until 1875. The eggs we eat today weren't created until almost 100 years later though. Read the whole story at The Kitchn | ||||||||
| This Magical Mop Moves on Its Own Posted: 05 Apr 2015 04:00 PM PDT
The Komondor dog originates in Hungary, where it was a sheepdog. It looks like a sheep. Or, to modern owners, it looks like a mop. To complete the illusion, all that is necessary is to add a few props. -via Tastefully Offensive | ||||||||
| BOB FETT - We'll Meet Again, Plankton Posted: 05 Apr 2015 02:00 PM PDT The Krusty Krab was no more, and the alien invaders who had destroyed the restaurant, along with half of Bikini Bottom, were still roaming free. Bob had been standing in everyone else's shadow his whole life, but this time he wouldn't just stand by and watch his world crumble around him- he would act. He raided the local toy store and found a suit of fett style armor, the kind worn while waging war in the stars, and with his soft sponge body covered and his head all helmeted Bob was ready to blast off! Don't be a typical square pants, bring home this BOB FETT t-shirt by Fernando Sala and defend your geeky universe from the forces of boring fashion. Visit Fernando Sala's Facebook fan page, official website, Instagram and Twitter, then head on over to his NeatoShop for more mighty geeky designs:

| Peep Out These Totally Charming Artworks Made From Peeps Posted: 05 Apr 2015 02:00 PM PDT We've featured Peep dioramas in the past, but the Carroll County Arts Council's Peep Show takes things beyond mere dioramas (though they still have a few of those too). Their delightful display transcends a variety of art forms, including sculptures made from Peeps and paintings based on our favorite overly-sweet Easter treats. If you live in the area, you can still make it to the show, but hurry because tomorrow is its last day. You can eve buy some of the artworks if you so please. As for the rest of us, we'll just have to settle for this slideshow from Refinery 29 featuring a few art pieces in the current exhibit and the Carroll Arts Center's Flickr that features many of the Peeps creations from past years. | ||||||||
| How The Millennium Falcon Fits Into Star Wars Posted: 05 Apr 2015 12:00 PM PDT The Millennium Falcon is one of the most iconic starships in the history of science fiction, and both its overall look and the role it played in the original trilogy’s storyline influenced the role starships played in many sci-fi movies to come. Han’s iconic smuggler ship has been commemorated and brought to life as toys, model kits, beds, cake molds, and countless DIY projects, and even though it’s not as shiny as other sci-fi ships it’s definitely an integral part of the Star Wars universe. This detailed graphic lays out all the ways the Millennium Falcon played in to the original trilogy (and its brief appearance in Episode III), and even if you already know -Via GeekTyrant | ||||||||
| Posted: 05 Apr 2015 10:00 AM PDT We’ve seen before that the faces of Rubik’s cubes can be used as pixels for artworks. Mystery Guitar Man and friends took that idea a step further by making a stop-motion animation by configuring 1296 mini-Rubik’s cubes and changing them 961 times to create a pixelated cartoon about a robot falling in love. The cartoon is only a minute and a half long, then he talks for a while. -via Viral Viral Videos | ||||||||
| Travel the High Seas With Your Fellow Geeks! Posted: 05 Apr 2015 09:00 AM PDT If you've been thinking about going on a cruise but have been waiting until you found one that was best suited to your geeky interests, then I have good news for you -you now have two different nerdtastic options. Option #1 is this year's Comic Con At Sea, which will be taking place in June. This floating convention will offer guests from Star Trek, Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, Justified and more as it arrives to an array of famous European destinations including Rome, Barcelona and Naples. For those who prefer their travel to have a little more levity, Musician Jonathan Coulton has just announced plans for his sixth annual JoCo Cruise. This Caribbean cruise will depart next February and while most guests have yet to be announced, travelers are promised a bevy of comedic, musical and geeky entertainment -including a 24-hour tabletop gaming room.

| Posted: 05 Apr 2015 07:00 AM PDT An Easter tradition in Hungary involves throwing buckets of water on young women of marriageable age. Really. On the day after Easter, known as Easter Monday, the women dress up in traditional clothing, and young men dowse them with water in a custom called “the watering of the girls.” | ||||||||
| 12 Cool-Shaped Islands around the World Posted: 05 Apr 2015 06:00 AM PDT
The islands are smiling at you! The left eye is named Mamutik. The right eye is named Sulug. The big grin is named Manukan. Together, these three islands in Malaysia are sometimes called the Smiley Islands. They're part of a national park and are a popular location for scuba diving. When on Earth rounded up photos and information about 12 islands that are shaped like recognizable objects, such as a crocodile, a seahorse, a boomerang, and a slice of pizza. I want to visit the pizza island in the Azores. | ||||||||
| Who Wouldn't Want A Dog Like Peperonie? Posted: 05 Apr 2015 05:00 AM PDT Peperonie is the ideal dog- he's hairless, barkless and super mellow, and Peperonie prefers yams and berries to dry kibble and canned meat products. The only problem with Peperonie is that he's not a dog, he's a Blue Tongued Skink. But if you simply ignore this fact and believe his owner's hilarious assertions that Peperonie is the best dog on the planet you'll soon come to see Peperonie through his adoring eyes. Peperonie is celebrating his first birthing day and waiting for his owner to finish transforming into a lich so Peperonie can become a lich's familiar and have his life extended by a hundred thousand years!
