The Crazy Cat Lady's Hotel

(Video Link)

Looks like this cat hotel needs to be booked in advance, but with amenities like "great climbing curtain" and "floating light circle," it's certainly earned the five diamond rating. Just wait until you hit their first-class restaurant that serves the finest fish and cream. And the night club, it's all the rage, but there is a bit of a nip problem there. 

Of course, I just want to stay there to meet the guests. They're very fuzzy and adorable and always polite.

Root Beer Pancakes Sound Fantastic

Root beer and pancakes might sound like an odd coupling, but when you think with the buttery, vanilla flavors of most pancakes, makes sense to throw in the sweet and savory flavors of root beer. Plus, like all batters, adding in something carbonated is bound to help the texture, making your pancakes lighter and fluffier than you've ever imagined. 

So how do you make root beer pancakes? Just head over to Fantastical Sharing and check out their simple recipe and you too can make delicious, fluffy root beer pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.

The Perfect Furniture for a Halloween Party

Last week on Homes and Hues, we showed you the happiest furniture on earth and this week it's time for something a little darker thanks to Vladi Rapaport's Skull Chair. This delightful illusion is made from fiber-reinforced polyester and even comes with a matching brain ottoman.

While some might think this design is only suitable for Halloween, those of us who love celebrating All Hallows Eve every day of the year, it really is a great centerpiece for any room. And, as the artist explains, it's a great way to reflect on mortality and remember how important it is to make the most out of our limited time on this planet.

Say Hello to the Worms of Your Nightmares

This isn't a photoshop. It's a picture of the giant gippsland, a worm that reaches up to nine feet in length don't worry, they don't usally grow longer than three feet long. Yeah, it's pretty much just alive for the sake of giving you nightmares.

The worm takes up to five years to mature and can actually live for a full decade. If you're screaming just looking at these photos, there is one thing that might make you feel a little better, the giant gippsland rarely comes to the surface during its entire life -though that does mean that if you visit Australia they're going to be hanging out, writhing under your feet. Well, you will probably actually hear the audible gurgles their bodies make as they slither underground.

Think of them next time you have a hard time sleeping, just think of these monster worms and then you'll be motivated to get up out of bed and go do something since you won't be sleeping any time soon anyway.

10 Animals Who Can Talk

Most of us find it impressive to see a dog that knows more than a handful of basic commands, but that's small potatoes compared to these amazing animals who can actually speak. Take N'kisi (the parrot above), for example, who has a vocabulary of more than 950 words and has a basic understanding of verb tenses. 

In a story told by Jane Goodall, after seeing a photo of the acclaimed primatologist, N'kisi had the opportunity to meet her in person, whereupon he looked at her and asked, "Got a chimp?"

And that's only one critter of the 10 amazing talking ones on the list over at Oddee.

Celebrating A Baby's Birthday With Awesome Gamer Pics

What do you get your one year old baby if you want to make sure they'll actually remember the present when they get older? How about a great set of photos that put him in the lead role of some of today's top video games. 

The pics were taken by proud geek papa Ben Stirling, who obviously loves gaming almost as much as he loves his little baby boy.

They're kind of like those photos we saw last month showing the baby starring in top films only this time the parents aren't there and the pics are all photoshop, no actual props -which makes more sense for gaming anyway.

Learn to Make Your Own Super Bowl Snack Stadium

We've featured snack stadiums on Neatorama before, but we've never actually talked about how to make them because up until now we never knew how. But thanks to Neatorama fan Heather Arment of A Lil' Curious, we can make our own this year. 

The great thing about learning how to make your own snack stadium is that it means you can fill it with all your favorite snacks, so while I think Heather's stadium looks absolutely delicious, I think I would find a way to add in some ranch dip and spinach dip to compliment the bread and veggies.
