The Maleo bird of Sulawesi has a unique way of looking after its young – if looking after is how it could be described. It buries its eggs and abandons them, having nothing more to do with their rearing. The chicks, however, have a trick up their sleeve. As soon as they hatch and emerge in to the sunlight they are, amazingly, able to fly.
Beneath the red hot sand of an Indonesian island’s beach something stirs. A large egg is hatching and soon the newborn creature will dig its way out to the surface and take its first gulps of fresh air. This sounds as if it should be a young turtle, thrusting its flippers sideways as it makes its desperate lurch towards the ocean. It is not, however. This is a bird. More remarkable still is that when it emerges the chick will already be able to fly.

Remember Daito Manabe from his painful looking face dance video? Well, he’s back with what in my honest opinion will replace all those god awful gold/silver/platinum/tin foil grills you see the young kids flashing about with a toothy grin these days. So, the next time you’re in a club or at a fancy soiree and the music picks up…keep an eye out for the hip kids to be flashing their multi-colored grills all up in your face.
Really, do we need this? It seems they are still patent-pending and looking for investors but it shouldn’t be long before wide-eyed male venturists begin pouring their dollars into what could be an ill-fated rather than revolutionary home gadget.
The BraDryer is a patent pending technology dedicated to answering bra drying glitches with intensive care. It aims at drying bras via a female torso-shaped device while ensuring that fabric, wiring and padding remain intact.

One small step for birds, one scary pre-Planet-of-the-Apes warning sign for human beings. Watch the bird snag some bread being tossed to its less-intelligent cousins and then use it to attract some fish to snack on.

Melting chocolate bunnies has never been as disturbing or creepy. And don’t get me started on the music used for this video! The creepiest one is the hairdryer scene. Brrrrrrr! Created by the Danish Dutch filmmaker Sander Plug.

How we treat death says much about who we are as a people – or in this case as an individual. What is the proper response? Do we mourn and move on or keep the memory alive in strage personal ways? Is this hilarious or vastly inappropriate? You decide:
The warning label on the jar of Grandma’s ashes has a very different effect from the “Super-Fun Mystery Drawer.” Instead of making Grandma’s less-than-savory remains more desirable, it seems to be more of a reminder–possibly to someone who is absent-minded or twisted to the point that it’s not obvious that eating Granny just ain’t kosher. There is a subtle “leftover” pun, which conveys a disrespect for the dead, contrasting with society’s usual reverence for the dead and elders. The disrespect and reverence are balanced out by the half-hearted care expressed by the Sharpie-scrawled wish to not have the loved-one devoured in a bleary-eyed midnight fridge-raid.
Everyone talks about alternative energy these days but mostly in terms of water, wind and solar. What about cars, cows and tornados?
To meet our future energy requirements, we need to rely on a huge range of alternative sources. Let’s not forget the whimsical beginnings of our efforts to harness electricity (I’m referring to the kite of Benjamin Franklin). It’s only fitting that electricity generation technologies come from left field.
Someone … clearly had too much time on their hands. Sick of the mainstream media only covering the most popular sports? Take a look at these guinea pigs performing in their very own and very special olympics.
The cute critters are digitally manipulated by
Steve Bicknell of Icarus Arts Publishing. You can buy the 2009 Calendar featuring the guinea pigs at Maverick Arts Club.
Life in the Fast Lanes has a funny account of the guinea pigs:
The Guinea Pig Games (GPG) Olympics have started with an amazing opening as rascally rodents display their dedication to their chosen sports. In the struggle for survival, only the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals with their stamina, prowess, and incredible feats to win gold, silver, and bronze medals.
Who hasn’t wanted their very own private island? And what if you could build it with some friends and free recycled objects. Sound too good to be true? This guy has built not one but two!
The original Spiral Island was (as its successor will be) built upon a floating collection used plastic bottles, all netted together to support a bamboo and plywood structure above. Located in Mexico, the original was 66 by 54 feet and was able to support full-sized mangroves to provide shade and privacy, yet also able to be moved from place to place by its creator as need with a simple motorized system.
DarkRoastedBlend has what is indesputably the most comprehensive and impressive collection of dangerous roads around the world – and part six to the ongoing series is no exception.
