Internet Superpowers as Landscapes
Whatever happened to MySpace.com? Possibly some kids today don’t even know what that is or was? But you can say the same about Google+ as well, most people have never heard of it. But Facebook? Of course! It couldn’t become the next MySpace, could it? I guess we should ask MySpace. But then Google+ might [...]
Free Hugs!!!
There is so much to love…and fear in the black and white photo. I can only imagine this was the spark of an idea for Madonna and her spiked bra back in her heyday. You must admit this lady makes it hard to get close to her and her offer for free hugs is probably [...]
Most Disturbing Shoes
Sometimes I wonder if humanity will really achieve a heightened sense of awareness or will we one day reach the golden age of enlightenment. And then I find a product like this and know in my heart that it will never, ever, never happen. Baby slippers have to be the most disturbing shoes every made.
Drunken Bridge
The Storseisundet Bridge in Norway is the longest in a series of bridges that make up the Atlantic Road, one of the country’s most popular roads for tourists. It’s unique bends make it look different from every angle. Essentially, it’s the real life version of those freaky magic stairs in Harry Potter. Approaching the apex gives [...]
Nine Little Helpers
As most people know, most octopuses have four sets of arms. Before you start biology and grammar raging, yes octopuses is a correct pluralization, yes they have sets, and yes they’re arms, not tentacles. Trust me, I checked wiki. This little guy, however, has nine arms. Unfortunately, he was not spared because of that fact, despite the [...]
Bear Chair
Today’s modern furniture craftsmen could learn a thing or two from Seth Kinman. Kinman was a legendary grizzly trapper, musician, barkeep, hotel owner, furniture maker, and general Renaissance mountain man. As a mentor to Chuck Norris, he ate nails for breakfast without any milk and used rocks as toilet paper because bark was too soft. [...]
5 of the Most Bizarre Smartphone Accessories
Technology rears its ugly head or rather, its kooky head again. This time it isn’t a new iPad or iPhone. There’s a whole new gadget world that’s built up around all the latest technology according to smartphone reviews and mobile news websites. Bizarre items that are seemingly impractical are taking over technically clever souls, who [...]
Albino Cyclopean Shark
As if sharks weren’t scary enough, try to imagine one with only one eye in the middle of its head. Oh wait, you don’t have to, we have pictures. This little bugger, let’s call him “Louis,” not only has the rare condition of cyclopia, but is also albino. Mexican fisherman Enrique Lucero León was “lucky” enough [...]
Bacon Drink Tablets
Are you a baconphile? If so, you should buy Effervescent Bacon Drink Tablets! Then you should vomit immediately to remove the substance from your body. Remember all those times you were eating a BLT with a side of bacon with bacon bits sprinkles and thought to yourself, “I wish I could DRINK bacon.” Well now [...]
Tree Bridges
You know how people spend years at school to learn how to build bridges in America? Turns out a tribe in India has been building bridges with just trees for hundreds of years. All their bridges are made solely out of trees that only get stronger as they grow. Sure, it takes a dozen years [...]
Sweet Sweet Brain Juice
Hone your brain suckling skills for the inevitable zombie apocalypse with this skull shot glass. Let’s face it, we’re not all going to be survivors, so those of you with weak immune systems better get practicing. The great thing this is you can still use the glass aside from pretending to be a zombie, but [...]
Haunted or Hype? Places Made Famous by Horror Films
Thanks to Hollywood, once-anonymous places such as Amityville, New York or Burkittsville, Maryland will never be the same quiet towns again. Guests of the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado or the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood will forever either request or refuse rooms 217 and 237, thanks to Steven King and Stanley Kubrick, respectively. [...]

From slick floors to overzealous pets, our homes are filled with obstacles that can cause us to fall. The dangers of fall-related injuries are especially high for senior citizens. In fact, one-third of all people over 65 will fall this year. Seniors can stay safe by investing in personal alert systems, getting sufficient calcium and [...]
One Man’s Trash – Part One
It’s true what they say – one man’s (or woman’s) trash, is another one’s treasure. Many artists take an environmental stance and create art out of things that would otherwise be thrown away. Some of the pieces of art are very large – sculptures and parts of buildings, and others are very small. Take a [...]
Six Crazy Massage Therapy Techniques
There are a wide variety of popular massage therapies that have been proven to benefit people both physically and mentally. However, massage enthusiasts are always trying to find the “next big thing.” They want something new or cutting edge, or sometimes they just want something that is so off-the-wall that they can go run and [...]
Endless Fight. Go!
Giraffe’s battle for an endless fight, animated gif.Where’s a chiropractor when you need one? France vs. England for an eternal struggle. Will there ever be a winner? A Kenyan traffic cop and a truck driver in a fight that sure seems endless, and ridiculous. Nobody would even help the officer. Endless snowball fight gif. Endless [...]
Unusual Objects Made from Gold – Weird Golden Toys
Sex, Alcohol, Candy and Face Creams Gold is rare and valuable. It is incredibly labor intensive and dangerous to mine for both mine workers and the environment. As such, the most obviously logical thing to do with it is rub it on your face and flush it down the toilet—in some cases literally. To follow [...]
Fly Art
Like many things, I find this creepy and cool at the same time. The image is funny but you have to remember that it’s really just four dead flies lying on a piece of paper. Quite morbid, really. Magnus Muhr has a bunch more of these, but they’re also in another language so we can’t [...]
MultiHair
The natural evolution of hair from brown and curly to blond and wavy. See ladies, why waste all that money on hair products and salons when you can avoid washing or cutting your hair altogether and get the same effect, albeit slightly more grungy and disgusting? Don’t stare directly at it too long. More bizarre [...]
Hernia Tool
This strange surgical tool from the 1850′s was used to restore the affected area after a hernia was removed. More specifically, it would be left inside the body for a week to produce scar tissue that would help seal the hernia off. I think I would rather take my chances without that thing stuck in [...]
