Picasso-Styled Geek Tattoos of Mike Boyd

Like Picasso's Cubism? How about geeky movies and TV shows? Well, if you like those things and tattoos, you're going to really love the amazing tattoo designs of Mike Boyd.

Taco Bell Plans to Introduce a Fried Egg Taco Shell

Taco Bell already pulled its much talked about Naked Chicken Chalupa, but it's about to be replaced by a delicious breakfast version -the Naked Breakfast Taco. This outrageous creation features a fried egg taco shell wrapped around bacon or sausage, nacho cheese, a three cheese blend and potatoes. 

If you just can't handle the nakedness, you can at least add a gordita shell to ensure it's fully dressed.

Unfortunately, the Naked Breakfast Taco is still only being tested, so you'll have to head to Flint, Michigan to try it out. In the meanwhile, you can read more about it on Foodbeast.

Comic Book Heroes As Dragons

Superheroes are pretty darn powerful, but even then, it's pretty hard to imagine anyone taking down a dragon in a one-on-one fight, even if that person was a mutant with superhuman powers. That's why this series by Lynton Levengood is so awesome -it just kind of makes sense in a weird way.

Of course, not all of them work as perfect matchups. Iron Man may be able to fly and shoot electricity out of his hands, but it's unlikely that any dragon would have the scientific skills to build such powers for themselves.

Check out the whole series over at the artist's DeviantArt page.

Starbucks Japan's New Frappuccino is Basically a Drinkable Cherry Pie

Japan gets all the best fast food twists and now even their Starbucks has heaven in a cup. In this case, it's a pastry shell lid that has to be broken open with a straw, vanilla base (let's face it -that's pretty much ice cream), cherry compote and it's all topped with whipped cream. If you are even in Japan to try it, you have to act fast -it's only going to be around for a month until May 16.

Real Haunted Houses in the US

Most people don't believe in haunted houses. Those that do are either terrified of such places or want to actively visit them. If you're in the later group, you don't want to miss this Travel and Leisure article featuring some of the creepiest haunted houses in America -like the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast pictured above.

You might be surprised by at least one property on the list -that's right, the White House itself is said to be haunted. 

So see the rest of the list over at Travel and Leisure


Cosplay From the 2017 WonderCon

We try to cover WonderCon and Comic Con as much as possible, but couldn't make it to the convention this year. While we unfortunately couldn't take pictures of cosplay for ourselves, there are still plenty of fun pictures available online.

We particularly like this fun collection of cosplay on Collider. So if you want to see some of the fun cosplay of the Anaheim convention, don't miss this great gallery.


Foods You Have to Try When You Visit Disney World

We've already featured some of the best beverages at Disneyland, but you don't just want to drink while you're at the parks, you're also going to need to eat. Fortunately, Travel and Leisure collected 60 of the most incredible foods at Disney World.

Ok, so technically that leaves you with the best food at Disney World and the best drinks at Disneyland, but until we have a list for each of the parks, this at least keeps it fair for people on both coasts. And there is a little crossover, like the turkey legs, Dole Whips and Mickey Pops. 

Even if you can't make it to the park though, you still might want to check out the list just to check out some of the drool-worthy photos of incredible foods. Heck, I kind of want to go to Orlando now just to eat!

So don't miss the full list over on Travel and Leisure


Daria's Co-Creator and Character Designer Imagine the Characters Today

If you were a youngster in the 90s, there's no doubt that you watched Daria at some point (even if you weren't a fan of the show yourself). While there's no planned reunion episode featuring all the voice actors, Co-Creator Susie Lewis and character designer Karen Disher did envision what the characters would look like if they aged like the rest of us.

Unsurprisingly, Daria and Jane still look pretty hip, Trent looks like kind of a Burnout and Quinn is a miserable housewife. Perhaps the least surprising is Kevin Thompson who largely peaked in high school, though his wife still seems to be doing fine:

“The head cheerleader and quarterback of Lawndale High are married and have three girls and two boys. Brittany is the weathergirl at the local news station and moonlights as part-time cheerleading coach at Lawndale High. Kevin is a stay-at-home dad who dabbles in children’s birthday-party entertainment. While he can’t quite squeeze into his belly-baring uniform anymore, you better believe Brittany’s cheerleading uniform fits her like a glove — and she wears it every Halloween.”

Colorado's 419.99 Mile Marker

Every American driver is familiar with those boring mile markers on the side of the freeway. In Colorado after marijuana was legalized, the mile marker 420 was stolen so frequently though, that the state had to stop replacing it. So they came up with a clever workaround -a mile 419.99 marker. Even so, stoners still make a pilgramage out to the mile marker and here and there people still steal the sign, but with much less frequency than before.

You can see more pictures of mile 419.99 over at Atlas Obscura


The Most Important Craft Beers in America

Beer has always played an important role in human history and over the last fifty years or so, the craft beer revolution has changed the face of brewing as we know it. Food and Wine recently compiled a list of the most important craft beers ever made and the list is fascinating because it's not based on taste or popularity, but only on the brew's role in the history of craft beer. Even if you don't actually drink, it's still an interesting look at how brewing has changed over the years.

So check out the full list at Food and Wine


Some of the Best Animal Videos of All Time

There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of animal videos on the internet and practically all of them are squee-inducing. That's why it's so darn hard to pick the "best" of all of those videos. Over on The Daily Dot though, one writer was foolish or brave enough to do just that. He ranked 37 of what he says are the definitive best animal videos on the entire net. The list is pretty good actually, but there are some notable omissions -perhaps most notably in my opinion, Hamster on a Piano Eating Popcorn.

I'm sure plenty of you will take issue with some noticably lacking videos that aren't the list either. But even so, there still is a lot to love about this impressive list of incredible animal videos


This Burger Has Pizza for a Bun

We've seen burgers built inside of pizzas and burgers with pizza toppings, but at Los Angeles' new Meathead restaurant, you can instead get a burger with an actual pizza as the bun. While the burger in the picture has all kinds of fancy toppings on it like kimchi and bulgogi, you can get a pizza bun on just about any burger they serve, including more classic meat, cheese and pickle varieties or on monster ones topped with bacon and onion rings.

Every Ride in Disney's Magic Kingdom Ranked

Disney World is so huge it's impossible to ride all the rides in just one day (and that's only one of Disney's many parks in Orlando). If you want to plot out your best possible day at the park and don't already know which rides you like, you're in luck. Travel and Leisure ranked all the rides in Disney World for your convenience. Of course, like all ranked lists, I'm sure many people will disagree with their decisions. For example, while I've only been on the California equivalent of the rides, I just can't get behind the idea that Toy Story Mania! is anywhere near as good as Pirates of the Caribbean or The Haunted Mansion while they have it ranked as #5 compared to those two, which are #12 and #8, respectively.

So check out the full list of all 53 rides here.


Bacon Wrapped Fried Pop Tarts

Pop Tarts are a great snack, but there's no denying that they're just missing something to make them the perfect snack. Fortunately, Oh Bite It figured out exactly what they needed -bacon, deep frying and gooey, fresh frosting. 

The recipe is pretty simple -just wrap your Pop Tart in bacon, deep fry it and then add frosting and sprinkles. Check out the full details on their page.


Wearing Socks Changed This Pug's Life

Leia is a cute little 14 year-old pug, but like many senior citizens, she can't get around as easily as she used to. Unfortunately, her humans didn't realize that would be a problem when they tore out their old carpet and replaced it with hardwood flooring. 

Poor little Leia was slipping and wobbling around the house and she lost her confidence to get around. Her parents knew they had to do something, so they tried giving the little pug socks -and things totally turned around for her. 

While most dogs hate wearing socks, Leia took to them immediately. "She will stand on the living room rug and bark for me or cry, trying to get around if the socks aren't on," said owner Geroni-Lajoie.

You can see more pictures of Leia over at The Dodo.
