I know I post a lot of Disneyland stories, but that’s because the park is just so darn fun. BuzzFeed’s collection of staged Splash Mountain pics are definitely worth a look for those of you who also dig Disneyland -and those of you who just like silly pictures.
Who knew this is the face a pug would make while going down a slide?
This must be animal abuse because no self-respecting animal would willingly make that face when there was a camera present.
If you’re one of those people who think insects aren’t pretty, particularly big ones like the praying mantis, well then, you’d better take a look at this great BuzzFeed article that’s sure to change your mind.

I’ve shared a few BuzzFeed fan art collections before and because they’re just so darn fun I couldn’t help but share another of these galleries with you. This particular gallery features this delightful WolverMickey.
Comments Off This collage of 200 street portraits, taken by photographer Brandon Stanton, is combined with the song “Empire State of Mind” to create a love note to the city.
The Humans of New York Project is an effort to create a photographic census of New York City. The project seeks to collect 10,000 street portraits, and plot them geographically on an interactive map.
Stanton has taken over 2,000 portraits so far. Find out more about the project, and read some of the stories of the people behind the portraits, at the Humans of New York website. Link -via Everlasting Blort

I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love all those galleries of pictures taken at the perfect moment and this BuzzFeed collection is definitely a good one -particularly in the cat pictures. This kitty looks like he’s performing a gymnastics routine.
From the beaches of Thailand to the deserts of the U.S, for a variety of reasons, some very expensive vacation resorts were deemed a loss, and no longer worth the trouble of upkeep. Years later, the photographs fascinate by illustrating their falls from grace. Environmental Graffiti shows us places that were once luxurioius playgrounds for tourists and celebrities, but are now being reclaimed by nature. Shown is a resort in Famagusta, Cyprus, which was permanently emptied when Turkey invaded in 1974. Link

If you want more, there is plenty more to see, so enjoy!

I don’t know about you guys, but I am fascinated by sand sculptures. It’s just amazing that people put so much time and effort into creating something beautiful but extremely temporary. That’s why these photos from the World Championship of Sand Sculpting are so great -it’s a way to actually make these works of art last forever.
The East Coast is still recovering from a less-than-devastating earthquake that shook walls, knocked stuff over on desks and generally didn’t do a whole lot of damage. The folks over at BuzzFeed have gathered together a gallery of images that shows just how simple it will be for the folks on the East Coast to recover from the kind of tremor that Californians feel on a weekly basis. Damage caused by an earthquake has never been so hilarious!

While this picture is already enough for most people to realize this is something no one should ever do,the fact that there is actually a record for most rattlesnakes held in the mouth at one time is just plain wrong. For more bizarre records, check out this great article over at All That is Interesting.

If you’ve read Neatorama long enough, you’ve undoubtedly seen plenty of dogs modeling for Etsy listings. Now there’s a blog chronicling the saddest of these poor puppies and it is hilarious. My only complaint, it doesn’t provide links to the actual Etsy pages. What if I want to make my dog this sad?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a sucker for colorized antique photos and these 40 images of Wales from back in the Victorian Era are simply stunning. They really give you an idea of what life was like at that time and place.
Environmental Graffiti has a great collection of pictures of The Orion Nebula for your viewing pleasure. After viewing them all, I can’t help but think they should take over as the Rorschach Test of the new century. I see an astronaut with bird wings, what about you?
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation has occasionally been called the most important garden in the 21st century and I don’t think that’s an overstatement considering just how eye-catching the mathematically-inspired garden is.

Sometimes “awesome” people like to hang out together. And I’m not talking about a member of Aerosmith hanging out with another member of Aerosmith: Sometimes these famous or infamous people are hanging out with other famous or infamous people that you wouldn’t think knew each other. Such as Nancy Reagan and Mr. T. See link for gallery of other awesome pairings.
Potholes are a conundrum for journalists. They are newsworthy because potholes directly affect the live of local readers or viewers. However, they don’t lend themselves to great visuals, which are necessary for newspapers and television broadcasts. So, what do you do? Many news outlets take pictures of potholes with the people they affect. It happens so often that it’s become a cliche, and when you see these pictures gathered together, the effect is quite funny! That’s what the blog Posing with Potholes is for. See picture after picture of the poor folks who have to deal with these holes day in and day out. You can submit your own personal pothole picture as well. Link -via Breakfast Links
