| Honest and Explicit Employment Ad Posted: 16 Aug 2015 04:00 AM PDT The most important thing in getting and keeping an entry-level unskilled job is to show up every day. I know too many people who can’t even do that much. For a skilled position like a mechanic, you have to have a little more. This employer is pretty specific about what it will take to be hired. That last requirement is a real doozy. -via Bad Newspaper  | ||||||||

| Posted: 16 Aug 2015 12:00 AM PDT Note that this trick may not work in real life because not only have your parents seen this before, they've tried it themselves. It may not even be necessary--at least the first time. The bliss of grandparenting is enjoying young children, then sending them elsewhere. | ||||||||
| Posted: 15 Aug 2015 10:00 PM PDT In this 35th episode of Anglophenia, hostess Kate Arnell presents viewers with British summer cocktail recipes to sweeten Saturday night and keep them satisfied, if not soused. Included are mixing instructions for the Bramble, the Bramley Somerset Temperley Sour, the English Country Garden and the gin and tonic. Cheers and bottoms up! Via Laughing Squid | ||||||||
| Everbright Is Like Lite-Brite for Grown-Ups Posted: 15 Aug 2015 08:00 PM PDT Do you remember Lite-Brite? It's a classic toy that consisted of translucent plastic pegs stuck into a backlit plastic plate. Arranging the pegs in patterns forms pictures. Everbright is like that, but more sophisticated for those of us who pretend to be adults. Hero Design invented this board of 464 black dials lit with LEDs. Turning the dials activates and then adjusts the color. Users can time the color sequences to create animated images. Hero Design envisions Everbright as an interactive wall display. When it's turned off and not in use, it simply hangs on the wall. It could be a work of decorative art for a home or office that changes when the owner is in the mood for something novel. -via Hopes & Fears | ||||||||
| Extinct Tree Grows From 2,000-year-old Seed Posted: 15 Aug 2015 06:00 PM PDT The Judean date palm tree thrived in Israel and was mentioned in the Bible quite a few times. But thousands of years of war destroyed the date palm groves and the palm became extinct by 500 CE. We tend to believe that when a species goes extinct, it is never coming back. But that belief doesn’t take into account how long seeds can remain dormant and stay viable.
The resulting tree is named Methuselah. Ten years later, it is not only thriving, it has produced pollen, which has been used to germinate seeds on a wild date palm. Read more about the ancient tree growing in Israel at Treehugger. -via Nag on the Lake | ||||||||

| Flipped Over Tortoise Focuses on What's Important: Eating Posted: 15 Aug 2015 02:00 PM PDT A tortoise was in that most awful of positions for his kind: flipped over on his back. This is a crisis because he can't move and is vulnerable to predators. But never mind that. There's a tasty flower to eat. Like his buddies, he focuses on the most important task at hand. -via Laughing Squid | ||||||||
| 8-Bit Bat Family - Gotham's Squarest Septet Posted: 15 Aug 2015 12:00 PM PDT 8-Bit Bat Family by 8-BitHero.Com The Waynes have been surrounding themselves with squares for generations, but Bruce has really taken the art of fostering a cubic family to new extremes!

The television of my youth—from Gilligan’s Island to Scooby-Doo—taught me that quicksand is a routine danger of adult life. This was incorrect. As this video demonstrates, quicksand, though it is as common in real life as it was on television, isn’t dangerous. You can walk on it easily. Watch this man with Bay Search and Rescue in northern England stomp on it like a water bed. Now try it for yourself on the nearest patch of quicksand. If you’re having trouble locating any, just start running without looking where you’re going. -via Gifsboom | ||||||||
| Comedians in the Fortune Cookie Factory Posted: 15 Aug 2015 10:00 AM PDT With millions of fortune cookies being produced, the pressure is on to come up with new and different fortunes. We get laughs from those obviously written by someone not fluent in English, but there are also the occasional jokes, double entendres, and clever witticisms from would-be comedians that make that tiny piece of paper worth saving, or even sharing on the internet.

| Tortoise Lets Himself in the House Posted: 15 Aug 2015 08:00 AM PDT Jeffrey the tortoise is one smart (and persistent) cookie. While outside of his human's home, he decides he'd rather be inside. So Jeffrey isn't shy about letting himself in via the screen door. The only problem is that the tortoise doesn't bother to shut the door after himself. Imagine! Does he live in a barn?!

| Photos From The Abandoned Six Flags Amusement Park In New Orleans Posted: 15 Aug 2015 07:00 AM PDT Abandoned amusements seem much creepier than other desolate urban structures, the death of fun filling trespassers with a sense of foreboding and unease. Or maybe that’s just me, because I’ve watched way too many horror movies set in abandoned amusement parks. Either way, the general consensus is that abandoned amusement parks look creepy and sad, which is why urban explorers love to break in and snap some pics to share with the interwebs. These pics show the state of the abandoned Six Flags amusement park in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was left to rot after Hurricane Katrina swept through town. Photographer Seph Lawless visited the saddest Six Flags ever for a shoot that’s sure to make theme park fans a little blue, but look on the bright side- now it can be used as a horror movie set! See the rest of the pics from The Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans here | ||||||||
| Lola the Chihuahua Puppy Playing With Two Baby Goats is All Kinds of Cute Posted: 15 Aug 2015 06:00 AM PDT Are you in need of a smile? Check out Lola the adorable chihuahua puppy as she romps with two bouncy baby goats. Lola seems inspired by the goats hopping around and at times she almost appears to be imitating them. Even when Lola gets playfully headbutted, she's still game to keep up the playtime. Perhaps the puppy wants to be a goat when she grows up. |
