| Sculptor Converts Hoarder Trash Into Art Treasure Posted: 17 Aug 2015 04:00 AM PDT Living with a hoarder can be hard, but it's hardest on the children who don’t know why their parents are hoarding, or how to get them to stop. You wake up every day surrounded by trash and/or junk wondering “what the heck am I going to do with all this stuff?”, feeling helpless among the heaps. Artist Stephanie Calvert grew up in a hoarder household, and she came up with a clever way to put that trash to use while working past the discomfort of having hoarder parents- she creates sculptures with their hoarded trash. Stephanie’s Shame To Pride project is just as much about making great art out of recycled materials as it is about helping her move past the scars of childhood by turning the trash that made her life hell into something heavenly for the world to admire. -Via Beautiful/Decay  | ||||||||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2015 03:00 AM PDT I'd advise against approaching this castle. The Beast is known for pulling people's arms out of their sockets. Instagram user uhnet photographed this great Beauty and the Beast/Star Wars mashup couple at the Disney 23 Expo. Note that Lumiere is now fluent in more than 6 million forms of communication, but all of them with a heavy French accent. Who would Mrs. Potts would be paired with in the Star Wars universe? -via Cosplay America | ||||||||
| Laurel & Hardy Dance to The Rolling Stones Posted: 17 Aug 2015 02:00 AM PDT The dance sequence is from Laurel and Hardy’s 1935 film Bonnie Scotland. Stan and Ollie break out of jail, travel to Scotland, and accidentally join a Scottish regiment of the British Army which ships them off to India, where they pick up trash. It’s no wonder they can’t get no satisfaction. -via Bits and Pieces | ||||||||
| Pandora's Box - The Darkest Discovery Posted: 17 Aug 2015 01:00 AM PDT Pandora had always been a curious child- curious in the sense that she was full of wonder and very inquisitive, and curious to others who found her investivative behaviour odd. She loved to sneak into places which were full of secrets, warehouses and storage chambers filled with legendary oddities she could examine and unlock. She'd seen many mythical artifacts in her young life, touched many magical objects and revealed the truth about many things that weren't so magical after all, but the day she was given that strange clay jar the world changed forever... Bring a sense of wonder to your geeky wardrobe with this Pandora's Box t-shirt by Lili Batista, it's a fantastic way to bring the wow factor with you wherever you go!

| Museum Allows Street Artists To Paint On Their Walls Posted: 17 Aug 2015 01:00 AM PDT Before street art gained acceptance it was seen as merely vandalism, which to be fair some works being passed off as street art actually are. But then there are those amazing murals that make the cityscape a little less drab- they’re works of urban art put up outside for people to freely enjoy, but some street art works really belong in a museum. The Long Beach Museum of Art felt it was time to bring some street art works indoors, and let some traditional painters try their hand at street styles, so they let a bunch of artists paint the walls of their museum. Results varied in degree of awesomeness, from “hey, that’s pretty cool!” to “ZOMG Wowee Zowee Kapowee!”, and the exhibition proved that letting a bunch of street artists paint the walls inside your museum is a great idea!

| <i>Sesame Street</i> Is Now as Gritty as <i>Game of Thrones</i> Posted: 17 Aug 2015 12:00 AM PDT Since 1969, Sesame Street has aired on PBS. This week, the company that owns the program announced that it had made a deal to move that show to the cable network HBO. One of the most popular programs on that network is Game of Thrones. HBO works for Game of Thrones because of that show's savage violence and prolific nudity is permissible if not expected for the network. This news story inspired David Elmaleh to make this video mixing scenes from the Game of Thrones blooper reel with the cheerful theme song from Sesame Street.

| Confronting a No-Gift Bridesmaid Posted: 16 Aug 2015 10:00 PM PDT The website A Practical Wedding received a letter for their advice column “Ask APW” in which a bride wants to know what to do about a bridesmaid who didn’t give a wedding gift.
The answer at the column covers several bases. First, “I don’t want to impose any societal etiquette on her.” It turns out that old-fashioned society etiquette does not require members of the wedding party to give a gift. And “…there could be any number of reasons she didn’t bring a gift.” True, and you have no business speculating on those reasons. But worst of all is the word “confront.” Don’t do it. | ||||||||
| <i>Star Trek</i> and <i>Star Wars</i> Disco Posted: 16 Aug 2015 08:00 PM PDT The 70s were . . . different. They're over, which is probably a good thing. But that era remains fascinating to observe from a distance. Science fiction was becoming a mainstream phenomenon. Musicians of the era remixed the sci-fi compositions of the time, such as this dance reworking of the Star Trek theme by The Universal Robot Band. It's 1 of 7 disco-era musical variants of science fiction rounded up by Uproxx. They include the cantina band theme from Star Wars and an Italian synthpop song about Jabba the Hutt. | ||||||||
| Ten Clever Uses For Chopsticks Posted: 16 Aug 2015 06:00 PM PDT I have a hard time throwing away chopsticks after just one use, because it seems like a waste of wood and they’ve come in plenty useful for craft projects after a quick cleaning. But every day millions of innocent chopsticks are thrown away simply because people don’t know what to do with them after their meal is over. Now, thanks to this Lifehacker article, you can reuse those chopsticks and save them from heading to the landfill before their time, because chopsticks make great cherry pitters, boiling water regulator, ground meat dividers, and much more!

| Posted: 16 Aug 2015 04:00 PM PDT The ring bearer enters the wedding procession with the flower girl. Her job is more fun than his, so he joins in scattering flower petals, with the aim of emptying the basket as quickly and efficiently as possible. He considers it a competition. Success! All the petals are gone and we’re only half way there! He knows how to celebrate, too, with a jump and holler and a few high fives for strangers in the crowd. -via Daily Picks and Flicks | ||||||||

| A Supercut Of Hotheaded Gamers Freaking Out Posted: 16 Aug 2015 12:00 PM PDT Video game players tend to be a passionate bunch, and when they’re on the edge of the sofa tap-tap-tapping away and trying to take out the competition things can get mighty heated. Lorne knows I’ve broken a controller or ten by throwing it at the wall, swinging it by its cord and smashing it into the ground, or stomping it into oblivion with the heel of my boots, but some gamers make me look mellow by comparison. These are the hotheaded gamers who let the anger (and the cursing) fly with reckless abandon in the face of games that cheat or simply aren’t fair. (Sarcasm, in case you were wondering) World Wide Interweb created a supercut of The Ultimate Gamer Freak Outs, and it kinda makes you wonder- isn't gaming supposed to be fun?!

| Posted: 16 Aug 2015 10:00 AM PDT Slurm is a fictional soft drink on the TV show Futurama. It's tremendously popular, befitting its trademark phrase "It's Highly Addictive!" What is it made of? Where does it come from? You're better off not knowing. So enjoy a fresh can of Slurm! You can with this little retail refrigerator that redditor Adammorgan710 made out of an old Red Bull-branded fridge. He used Photoshop to design the custom signs, which are cut to fit the original form. You can see more photos here. | ||||||||
| The Only Known Surviving Footage of the <i>Titanic</i> Posted: 16 Aug 2015 08:00 AM PDT This footage from the A.P. archive begins with the R.M.S. Titanic moored in Belfast Lough prior to leaving for Southampton. The Titanic is shown at sea where icebergs abound, and there is a shot of Captain Smith on the bridge pre-disaster. The remaining minutes show shots from before and after the tragedy in fascinating stages. The Carpathia is shown at sea with rescued passengers on board, there are various closeups of rescued crew and passengers on land, the families of the passengers are seen lined up outside the cruise line's office to hear word about their loved ones who were aboard the Titanic, and more. | ||||||||
| The Human - One Mathematical Mafia Movie Posted: 16 Aug 2015 07:00 AM PDT Finn was letting the fact that he was the toughest person in Ooo go to his head, and like a good pal Jake was coming along for the ride. First Finn started charging the Candy Kingdom's citizens money for "protecting them" from harm, then he started demanding delicious tributes to stay on his good side. Crime rates began to soar in the Kingdom, and when Finn started demanding to be called The Finnfather Bubblegum knew it was time to send in the banana guards. Jake really should have tried to stop Finn from becoming a bad boy, but he was too busy living the good life and eating all the pasta he could stomach!

| Posted: 16 Aug 2015 07:00 AM PDT There is a myth that medical science did not progress during the Middle Ages. Maybe it was because the early Middle Ages were sometimes called the Dark Ages, although that was really more about our lack of information about the period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance than it was about its history and culture. Anyway, some believe that medieval physicians only relied on ancient knowledge passed down from Galen, but in reality, they were experimenting with medical treatments, testing drugs, and studying human bodies through dissection.
While many of the cures that medieval doctors came up were terrifying and often useless, it was the best they could do with what they had. Medical knowledge did advance in some ways. Read more about the medical experiments of the Middle Ages at Medievalist. -via Everlasting Blort | ||||||||
| Little Boy Can't Corral His Kittens Posted: 16 Aug 2015 06:00 AM PDT It's a cat-astrophe! Ryder of Cedar Falls, Iowa has, as he calls it, "situations." All of the kittens must remain on the blanket so that they don't get lost. But whenever he gets one back to base, another escapes! It's like herding cats. |
