From The Fun Theory, a project by Volkswagen and the ones who brought us the piano staircase, comes bottle bank arcade.  Again the question is posed, “If we make it fun, will people start doing it?”  Yes, they will.

Thanks, Luna!

More fun with movie posters and Photoshop can be had at The Chive.  Inspired by a Worth 1000 contest, users re-imagine popular movies if one letter in their title was changed, or removed.  Here, The Chive lays claim to The Ark Knight and No Country For Old Hen.

Love iced cream cones but hate the iced cream? Then you’ll love these Cupcake cones on Instructables with plenty of instructions (naturally) to make your own sweettreats at home.

Delicious, clever, and surprising, these cupcakes impersonating ice cream cones are sure to delight!

Now that’s a quote that I can’t begin to dispute.

Early March saw the annual spring Festival of Color, or Holi, in the Hindu world.  If you are a clean freak, then Holi may not be for you.  As part of the festival it is people’s religious duty to splatter, smatter and smother as many others as possible with colored paint and water.  As religious festivals go, this is one of the messier.

If you live in a large, multi-ethnic city virtually anywhere in the world it is a possibility that in the last week you have seen groups of people in parks merrily spattering each other with paint. While you might be excused for thinking that it is a new form of corporate team building – and what a great one that would be – you would be wrong. The throwing of multi-colored water and powder is in fact the popular Hindu spring Festival of Colors, also known as Holi.

Post-it notes arn’t just for jotting down random notes.  This ever growing collective of artists have been drawing on post-it notes in their spare time at work and posting to this blog on a regular basis.

“this blog was originally dedicated to documenting the post-its i doodled while at work. however, this blog has grown beyond it’s original intent to encompass the post-its drawn by me and and any post-it compatriots who deem to grace it’s halls with their own artfull pictographs.”

The Triple Crown never seemed so two-sided. 

There are those who go to the races to see and be seen.  The rich and famous, and the classy entourage they bring with them. 

And then, there’s this crowd…sound is mildly NSFW.

Sure, it may not be the smartest behavior, but doesn’t this  spontaneous-looking game say something about culture?

Ever wondered what it would be like to travel in a jet-powered porta-potty? Me neither. Seeing someone else doing it still is interesting though. It’s every ten year old boy’s dream come true -a whole collection of jet and rocket powered vehicles, including fire trucks, recliners, tractors and more. Plenty of speed record holders here kiddos, so click the link and have fun exploring the speedy side of life.

Boston.com has a very cool chart detailing how to mess with your mind’s perceptions, naturally. I think the most interesting one is definitely the first one. It tells you how to hallucinate with ping pong balls and a radio. If you’ll excuse me, I need to go cut some ping pong balls in half and listen to static for the next hour or so.

It starts easy, but it gets challenging! And when you finish that one, there’s FactoryBalls 2, which I think is even more inventive. Grass seed, anyone? Have fun!

Maybe it’s just a childhood fascination, but I adore hedge mazes. After fun Halloween corn mazes and the movie Labyrinth, who wouldn’t? WebEcoist has a great collection of mazes for your viewing enjoyment. Enjoy!

It was just another hot and slow day on a the construction site when someone had a brilliant idea. Although it looks like fun, you have to trust the operator to enjoy this ride.

“Zwing” your ball around using the mouse, smashing all the black balls of screen. The aim is to protect the white ball in the centre at all times. If the white ball leaves the boundary, the game’s over. Every 10 levels, you’ll face a boss that you have to continually hit until he runs out of health and goes off screen.

As you hit each ball out of the screen, you gain experience points (xp). The harder you hit the ball, the more xp you collect.

Here’s a really neat trick to impress your friends. I practiced it for about 10 minutes and I get the hang of it rather quickly. Give it a try… Link
