| Goats Dressed Like Minions Are The Best Minions Posted: 28 Jun 2015 04:00 AM PDT If you ever poke around the Neatoshop, then you probably already know that we're simply mad about Minions. We've seen Cookie Monster, Sponge Bob and even Baymax cosplay as our favorite yellow followers, but this is the first time we've seen real-life animals donning the daring Minion look -and the result is purely fabulous.

| 17 Facts You May Not Know About <i>The Daily Show</i> Posted: 28 Jun 2015 02:00 AM PDT
"In an interview with Stephen Colbert, Stewart admitted that he had a hard time adjusting to working with Kilborn’s team and that he very seriously considered quitting the show altogether. Though he had some definite ideas on how to take the show in new directions, they were met with strong resistance. 'I walk in the door, into a room with the writers and producers, and the first thing they say is 'this isn’t some MTV bulls*** … And then I was told not to change the jokes or improvise,' Stewart recalled. Immediately, he called his agent and told him to get him out of the deal. 'I had to be talked down from a moderately high cliff,' he admitted." Read sixteen more facts about Stewart and The Daily Show — including who he rates as his best and worst guests and what disgraced politician he used to room with — in this article. | ||||||||
| Ben & Jerry Celebrates Marriage Equality with "I Dough, I Dough" Ice Cream Posted: 28 Jun 2015 12:00 AM PDT Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal throughout the United States. To celebrate marriage equality, Vermont-based ice cream company Ben & Jerry has renamed their Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream "I Dough, I Dough". "Ben & Jerry’s is proud of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision against discrimination as it boldly stands up for equality for same sex couples everywhere," said Ben & Jerry’s CEO Jostein Solheim, "And at Ben & Jerry’s, there’s only one way to celebrate: with a scoop of I Dough, I Dough, Marriage equality never tasted so good!” | ||||||||
| That Time Superman Gained the Ability to Shoot Mini-Supermen out of His Hands Posted: 27 Jun 2015 10:00 PM PDT Now before you get too upset about this seemingly bizarre superpower: this was 1958. Back then, it was not very unusual for ordinary people to have this ability (atomic testing, you know). So it makes sense that the writers of Superman #125 would endow the Man of Steel with it, too. Jerry Coleman, Wayne Boring, and Stan Kaye titled their story "Superman's New Power!" In it, Superman faced several challenges that required that he be greatly reduced in size or be in multiple locations simultaneously. This necessitated the Mini-Me Superman. You can see several pages from this freaky issue at Comic Book Resources. -via The Geek Twins | ||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jun 2015 08:00 PM PDT On the surface, they look just like any other couple their age. And just like any other couple, you can’t know what astonishing forces shaped their lives until you ask. Helena and Szczepan Wojtak were born only 35 miles apart in Poland, but did not meet each other until they were refugees in England after World War II. Their lives weren’t easy, but they obviously love each other very much. This is a sweet story about happy people with amazing pasts, and I’m sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. -via the Presurfer | ||||||||
| Incredible Sculptures Made Out Of Bubble Gum Posted: 27 Jun 2015 05:00 PM PDT Candy loving kids have been known to chew a pack of gum at a time, and if they have artistic inclinations they might turn that chewed up wad of gum into something shapely, like a small sculpture or sticky multi-colored ball. But even Bazooka Joe himself couldn’t turn chewing gum into works of art as incredible as these pink bubblegum sculptures by Maurizio Savini. The gum Maurizio uses in his works has not been chewed, it's unwrapped and melted into "layers of usable material" which is then applied to a plaster or fiberglass mold to help stabilize the sculpture's shape. -Via Beautiful/Decay | ||||||||
| The Dark Side - Darth Doesn't Have A Good Side Posted: 27 Jun 2015 04:00 PM PDT When asked to give a profile of the powerful Sith Lord known as Vader, the Imperial scribe had this to say- "He has a lot of deep, dark stuff going on under that shiny helmet of his". The darkness that envelops Darth is blacker and inkier than the deepest depths of space, and although he's the star of the Empire's campaign of galactic subjugation he's got more than war on his mind. You can't force Vader to reveal his secrets, nor will he ever admit to being in a state of emotional turmoil, but if you know where he came from, and what turned him in to the wicked man he is today, it's easy to see why he walks on the dark side of life... Bring home some seriously cool sci-fi flavor with this The Dark Side t-shirt by inkOne Art, it's the ultimate way to add some wicked attitude to your geeky wardrobe.

| Python Realized That Eating a Whole Porcupine Is Actually a Very, Very Bad Idea Posted: 27 Jun 2015 04:00 PM PDT Just because you can eat it, it doesn't mean that you should eat it. This 12-foot-long python sure learned that lesson the hard way. Earlier this month, a cyclist named Jean-Claude Chanu was riding along a mountain bike trail at the Lake Eland Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, when he found an engorged African Rock python that obviously ate something huge. Chanu snapped a few photos that went viral on social media. "We’ve been keeping an eye on the snake since we got word from the rider; it’s moved about a metre from where the rider found it," Shona Lawson of the Lake Eland Game Reserve told eHowzit. "These snakes move away from trails as soon as it hears cyclists or cars approaching. In this case, it essentially couldn’t move due to the weight of the animal in its stomach." Park rangers were speculating what the snake had swallowed for dinner, with guesses including a small warthog to baby impala. Meanwhile, the snake had become somewhat of a celebrity for the wildlife sanctuary - people were visiting in hope of catching a glimpse of the swollen snake. Days later, park rangers found the python dead near the bike trail and decided to cut it open to see what it ate. They found a whopper of a snack inside the belly of the snake: a 30-lb (13.8 kg) porcupine, quills and all! General manager Jennifer Fuller told LiveScience that pythons actually eat porcupines all the time in the wild. They also ate much larger animals, including a 50-lb adult oribi antelope. She suspected that the python was killed when it fell off a rocky ledge, and the porcupine's quills pierced the snake's digestive tract and killed it. | ||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jun 2015 03:00 PM PDT This often hilarious, 12+ minute long compilation of sex-related news bloopers is proof that sometimes the reporters' and anchors' minds may be somewhere else. Judging from the Freudian slips, that "somewhere else" may be the proverbial gutter. From unfortunately drawn weather patterns to misused words and phrases to background shots that showed far more than was intended, have a look at the news at its most awkward. NSFW language, sexual imagery. -Via Blame it on the Voices | ||||||||
| Headed to Comic Con? Then Follow the Yellow Brick Road Posted: 27 Jun 2015 02:00 PM PDT We've previously wrote about the fact that some of the coolest things to do during the San Diego Comic Con don't actually involve the convention at all. That's most certainly the case when it comes to the first night after party -The Great Royal Marshmallow. This outlandish affair will feature burlesque, an art show, a charity auction, live tattooing, live music, a top dj and more. Perhaps best of all, it will be Wizard of Oz themed! If you're heading out to the con, consider stopping by and saying "hello" -I'll be there in person. | ||||||||
| 6 Insane Space Stories You Didn't Learn In History Class Posted: 27 Jun 2015 12:00 PM PDT Frankly, American history classes in public schools are lucky if they have time to touch on anything more recent than World War II. Even if they do, there probably wouldn’t be more than a day or two devoted to the entire space race. The story of space exploration is a long and rich one, with occasionally bizarre incidents that we can laugh about, now that we know no one died because of them. This tidbit is bizarre because of the difference in the American and Soviet space programs. Cosmonauts carried a weapon into space that was basically a sawed-off shotgun.
Other stories in a list from Cracked are about American astronauts, and some involve embarrassing bodily functions, told in the colorful language you expect from Cracked. | ||||||||
| Meet Quasi Modo, The New World's Ugliest Dog Posted: 27 Jun 2015 10:00 AM PDT After a ruff competition for the World's Ugliest Dog title, a 10-year-old so-strange-looking-he's-actually-cute mutt named Quasi Modo has won. Quasi Modo has a spinal birth defect that made him hunchbacked (just like his namesake Quasimodo, the protagonist in Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). The dog's owners, veterinarian Virginia Sayre and her husband Mike Carroll in Loxahatchee, Florida, adopted him after he was abandoned at an animal shelter. "My appearance can be a little unsettling to some (I have had grown men jump on top of their cars to get away from me because they thought I was a hyena or Tasmanian devil) but once they get to know me I win them over with my bubbly personality," Quasi Modo's biography stated. According to Chief Judge Brian Sobel, Quasi Modo was selected because he "epitomized excellence in ugliness." Last year, Quasi Modo came in second place in the same competition, which is held annually at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Here's a video clip showing Quasi Modo at his home at the G & M Ranch in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida: | ||||||||
| Mama Raccoon Teaches Baby How to Climb a Tree Posted: 27 Jun 2015 08:00 AM PDT Baby raccoon needs to climb, but he isn't born knowing how. Mama raccoon will teach him, though. She lifts him up by her forepaws, encouraging him to grasp the bark of the tree. It's working! -via Nothing to Do with Aborath | ||||||||
| Police Sketches Versus Mug Shots Posted: 27 Jun 2015 07:00 AM PDT The police composite sketch, created with the help of an eye witness, is often the first step in catching a criminal. But witnesses who have a fuzzy recollection of what the perpetrator looked like may end up contributing to a sketch that looks nothing like the accused, and therefore isn’t much help to law enforcement. It’s not always the witnesses fault, sometimes the sketch artist is simply lacking in illustration training and ends up drawing a gnome instead of a human perp. And then there are those spot on sketches that manage to perfectly capture both the look and the attitude of the criminal, the drawings that set the standard for other composite sketch artists.
