Steven Warrick’s Banyard Aquarium
Steven Warrick lives in Richmond, Virginia, and he is a truly creative and fantastic artist. He does design, original drawings, comics, and more, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on a series of interesting pieces to show you, and to talk to him about what in the wide world made him think [...]
Hedgehog Shows: Hedgehogs as Pets
Perhaps you’ve been to a horse show, watched a dog show on television, or seen farm animals competing for ribbons at the county fair. Even if you don’t participate in animals shows yourself, chances are you’ve seen one in some form or another. But have you ever been to a hedgehog show? Or even heard [...]
Yoda Pictures, Images and Star Wars Yoda Fan Art
Yoda is probably the littlest green badass in the entire Star Wars universe. Other people think so, too, because they have created all sorts of drawings, art, and videos to honor him. I’ll save the videos for another time, when there is beer involved, and save this little corner of Bizarre Bytes for the awesome [...]
The Avenging Iron, Man!
The Iron Man iron certainly does look foreboding and ready to avenge the wrinkles from your last shirt. It appears from the image below that Iron Man doesn’t even use the iron modeled after him. For shame. You can appreciate Tony Stark’s desire for a nicely ironed shirt, so why not use the most technically [...]
The Pinata Bear
Okay, so this isn’t a PETA nightmare (bear pinata), but in reality this bear was tranquilized to bring him safely out of a tree and onto a trampoline. A few other viable captions for this picture of a bear rescue: Matrix Bear Rope-a-Dope Bear The Hairy Pinata, and my favorite “If I don’t move, maybe [...]
Break Dancing Kid in Slow Motion [Video]
![Break Dancing Kid in Slow Motion [Video]](http://www.bizarrebytes.com/wp-content/themes/yamidoo/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://www.bizarrebytes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/slow-motion-break-dancing-video-2.png&w=190&h=115&zc=1)
This slow motion break dancing video is very similar to ballet, which may have been the intent of the video by Alex Yde and performed by Arthur. It is mesmerizing to watch and then impressive when you think about the body control and training needed by Arthur to perform this break dancing routine with what [...]
Henges and Stonehenge Replicas
What is a Henge? A “Henge” is an oval or circular earthwork structure built during the Neolithic Period, often in the form of a rock circle or monument. Not all henges are rock monuments like Stonehenge, but most henges are located in England. In England, the Neolithic Period occurred circa 7000—1700 BC. During this time, [...]
Amazing Theme Cakes
Trolling around the internet, like you do, I have come across some pretty darn fantastic-looking cakes. I have no idea what tastes good, as I didn’t get to taste any of these cakes. Plus, I’m not much of a cake eater. But here are the cakes that particularly struck my fancy. We’ve got geek cred [...]
Albino Zebra (White Zebra)
Zoe is a very rare creature, reported to be the only white zebra in captivity. She looks more like a gold zebra to me. Still, a beautiful animal to behold. Her unusual color is due to her having “amelanosis”. She is not an albino. She has striking gold stripes and blue eyes. In horses, there [...]
Funny Year Book Pictures
While i am a little wierded out by this, I am also impressed. This took forethought and planing and some serious testicular fortitude to do this. Hats off to John Vichich and Ian Vincent, you weird little guys! This is funny year book pictures at its best.
Shadow Mouse, Waiting for Shadow Cat
The mouse finally wins and I assume he has thumbs too…Cute graffiti in any case.
Donatello by Dave Rapoza
I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Donatello was always my favorite. Even when Eastman & Laird first created them they weren’t really threatening even though they killed a lot of bad guys ninja-style. But they still have a cute quality about them. Well, not this time. Donatello looks to be out for blood [...]
Novel National Parks: America’s Most Remote National Parks
The United States government was the first national government to set aside land for management, preservation, and public use. Explorer George Catlin and activist John Muir both noted the need to protect America’s hot springs, natural areas, and Native America cultures as they traversed the continent during the 19th Century. In 1832, the first public [...]
History’s Most Interesting Transvestites
Personalities such as Boy George, RuPaul, and even J. Edgar Hoover have introduced cross-dressing, or transvestism, into the mainstream in recent history, as have movies like Psycho, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Mrs. Doubtfire. Although women such as Joan of Arc and Hua Mulan cross-dressed centuries ago in order to join the military, modern [...]
Lion Tries To Eat a Baby Dressed as a Zebra
while this is certainly amusing, in the back of your head you are thinking to yourself, this lion would maul and devour this human infant in a second if there wasn’t any glass there. I find this disturbing, yet I chuckle at the insanity of it all. And why dress your baby like a zebra? [...]
Badass Hyena Handlers from Nigeria
In 2005, photojournalist Pieter Hugo saw a cellphone pic of a group of men in Lagos, Nigeria walking down the street with chained hyenas. The picture intrigued him enough to track them down and eventually go visit them… In Abuja we found them living on the periphery of the city in a shantytown – a [...]
The Truth About Zombies
What can you say about zombies that hasn’t been said already? There are zombie comics, zombie movies, books about zombies, books that used to be classic pieces of literature that had zombies put into them, and there are real zombies that re made when a boko takes a person’s soul and puts it in a [...]
Freddy Krueger Resume and Job Interview Transcript
The economic times have hit the nation harder than anyone realizes. Even your favorite nightmare horror characters are falling on hard times. Criminally insane, “son of a hundred maniacs” Freddy Krueger is even out there pounding the pavement trying to find work. He even has a resume! I don’t know how he types with that [...]
