This might look like a crime scene photo, or something out of Dahmer’s personal collection, but believe it or not these amazing body part sculptures are made entirely out of bread. Created by Thai baker/sculptor Kittiwat Unarrom, these gruesome looking pieces blur the line between art and food, and it takes a lot of nerve to bite into a loaf of bread that looks like a corpse! Follow the link to DesignTaxi to see a short vid and many more examples of these morbid food sculptures.

There’s even a club of pen spinners [warning: self-starting audio] in Thailand made up of (all young males, as far as I can tell) pen spinning enthusiasts.

Urlesque blog has a selection of some of the neatest pen spinning tricks ever posted to YouTube. And to think that all I can do to my pen now is chew its end! Link

The new cloth masks, which hook behind the ears and cover the mouth and nose, will help "reduce the stress from drivers when they see the police," said Somyos, the Highway Police commander.

To that end, he said, some 200 police booths would also distribute holy water, chewing gum and mints.

He defended his force when asked why drivers needed smiley masks and gum and holy water to calm down when approached by a patrolman.

"The police are not that scary," he said. "When I was in the United States, their highway police seemed to be more fierce than Thai police. I was scared of them."
