How To Remove A Fish Hook From Your Skin In Three Easy Steps

(Image Link)

Fish hooks are barbed so they dig in and stay in, which is great when you're trying to catch a fish but terrible when the hook gets caught in your clothes or, even worse, your skin.

Fishermen get hooks stuck in their hands, arms, legs, backs and *gasp* faces all the time, and many of the manly men I've gone fishin' with simply yank it out heedless of the pain or the scar.

Rather than indiscriminately ripping a barbed hook out of your flesh you should follow the steps on this illustrated guide created by The Art Of Manliness and pluck that hook with less pain and less skin lost!

The Clog

Mario and Luigi are supposed to be plumbers, and yet they don't own a wrench, plunger or drain snake so it's unclear how they actually get any work done.

And yet, as this Pie Comic shows, they're not afraid to charge big bucks for their services because they perform all kinds of secondary services along the way to unclogging your drain- services nobody ever asks for.

Their customers would call them out on it, too, if they didn't keep the pipes free of man-eating plants, bitey turtles and angry mushroom men...maybe their customers need those secondary services after all!

Owners Had No Idea What Sitter Did With Their Dog Until He Sent Them The Video

Dog owners hope for the best when they hire a sitter, so if the dog seems to genuinely like their sitter that's usually a good sign since dogs don't hide their feelings about humans.

But if your dog straight up loves hanging out with their sitter then you might want to watch the two of them in action, because there's probably something adorable going on there.

Skylar the dog absolutely adores her sitter James Liakos, and James loves hanging with Skylar so much he filmed their adventures together, creating the incredibly sweet video "Cute Whippet Dog Story: Man's Best Friend".

James' clients had no idea what was going on, until James sent them the video...

If Bowser Had A Personal Assistant

Bowser has a really bad temper, a sulfurous body odor that'll make your eyes water and breath that'll turn your hair white, so he doesn't like to interact with the public in person.

Which is why he had to hire his assistant Kevin, well, that and because he's so obsessed with Mario that he never gets any work done. Kevin has figured out how to streamline and improve upon Bowser's operation, which is great news for Bowser and not-so-great news for the Super Mario Bros.

Brutally Honest Confessions From EMTs And Paramedics

(Image Link)

EMTs and paramedics have one of the hardest jobs in the world, a job that takes its toll on them physically and mentally as they spend their days and nights saving lives without so much as a thank you.

So in order to spread awareness about how important their job is, and how people can help them do their job more effectively without interference, they'd like you to know what people do that pisses them off.

(Image Link)

Things like calling an ambulance to drive you to your doctor, talking trash to EMTs for helping the person who caused an accident and lying to them about what really happened all make their job harder than it needs to be.

Paramedics are caring, compassionate people who often work 16- to 24-hour shifts and go home with bodily fluids on their uniforms and the rescues of the night weighing on their minds.

So let's show them we appreciate all the work we do by listening to their complaints and trying to make their job easier, because without paramedics and EMTs we're dead meat!

Baby Elephant Throws Tantrum In Middle Of Road, Parents Know Just What To Do

Young elephants are just like little kids in one key way- they like to throw tantrums when they're trying to get their way, hoping their parents will take pity on them and give in to their demands.

And pachyderm parents handle these tantrums the same way many human parents do- by ignoring the bratty child until they fall back in line again.

(YouTube Link)

According to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust this tantrum throwing behavior is pretty typical:

"Elephants also display many of the attributes of humans as well as some of the failings. They share with us a strong sense of family and death and they feel many of the same emotions. Each one is, of course, like us, a unique individual with its own unique personality.
They can be happy or sad, volatile or placid. They display envy, jealousy, throw tantrums and are fiercely competitive, and they can develop hang-ups which are reflected in behaviour."

Crappy Cat Drawings That Are Actually Photorealistic

Cats ain't the easiest critters in the kingdom to draw, and yet their personalities and feline essence can be captured in a less than realistic drawing.

But one of the biggest problems with drawing cats is that they won't pose or sit still long enough to be used as a model, so if you're not a quick draw artist you have to catch them while they're sleeping.

This creates a new problem- cats often sleep in funny places and positions, so the drawings come out looking more like a caterpillar than a cat, which makes people think you don't know how to draw cats.

People will also judge your cat drawings if the feline subject is making a funny face, because cats never do funny things and they certainly don't make funny faces, not ever!

Heloisa created the Twitter account Poorly Drawn Cats (@poorlycatdraw) because she's always being judged for her cat drawings even though every one of them is a photorealistic masterpiece.

Feuding Neighbor Gets Revenge In A Way Only Google Earth Can See

Some people like to develop close relationships with their neighbors so they can feel like they're part of a tight knit community, others (like myself) will be very nice to their neighbors but don't really feel the need to be friends.

And then there are those a-holes who pick fights with all of their neighbors, disrupt and disturb the neighborhood and give their neighbors hell until the situation turns into a full blown feud.

But in this case the feud all started because Cindy & Brian Zechenelly built a garage apartment on their Clallam County, Washington property then painted the garage purple, which their anal-retentive neighbors claim is lowering the value of their homes.

So rather than minding their own business and leaving the Zechenelly's alone neighbor Brian Juel decided to mow the word "A-HOLE" into the grass so it could be seen and photographed by Google Earth.

So who's the real a-hole here- the neighbor who dared to be free with color on their own property, or the neighbor so angry about a purple garage they had to resort to petty name calling via yard work?

Why It Sucks To Be A Male Hyena

Hyenas spend their days laughing at all the other critters in the savanna, and as usual those who laugh at the expense of others are crying on the inside.

But unlike the lions, whom they laugh at despite their royal status, a male hyena's life is way worse than a female's- because they're basically ostracized once they hit adolescence:

A life of hunting zebras and raising young on the savanna isn’t half bad for a female hyena. Sadly, the same can’t be said for their male counterparts. As MinuteEarth explains, things take a downturn for the males of the species once they hit adolescence. No female in their pack will mate with them, a behavior scientists believe evolved to avoid inbreeding, so they head off in search of a different group to join. After dealing with vicious hazing from their new clan, they file in at the bottom of the rank and wait for other males above them to die so that they can slowly gain status.

Even after rising through the hierarchy, the most a male hyena can aspire to is being second place to the lowest-ranking female. Thanks to their bulky build and aggressive behavior, female hyenas enjoy a dominant position that’s rare in the animal kingdom.

Looks like life got the last laugh Mr. Hyena! Here's that video by MinuteEarth to explain more:

Are You Single Or Taken?

It can be hard to find balance when you decide to join the dating world, but it's important to maintain the balance between being open and private, selfish and selfless, outspoken and reserved.

Without balance we're at the mercy of those who agree to date us, and, as this According To Devin comic shows, if we allow ourselves to be taken for granted over and over again we're doomed to be forever alone.

Who The Hell Is Marilyn Monroe?

When Norma Jean decided to throw caution to the wind and make herself over to become the iconic movie star/sex symbol Marilyn Monroe she began the transformation by becoming a pin-up model.

The photographers who shot Marilyn had the eye and Marilyn had the everything else, and together they created the Marilyn Monroe image that made her the Hollywood It Girl every director wanted in their films.

But before the fame came those "who the hell is this girl?" moments, like the time in 1950 when LIFE photographer Ed Clark photographed Marilyn "at the suggestion of a friend of 20th Century Fox telling of the new hiring of the studios":

“I sent several rolls to LIFE in New York, but they wired back, ‘Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?” – Ed Clark.

The Day That Elvis Died

Elvis officially "left the building" on August 16th, 1977 after a massive heart attack killed The King while he sat on his porcelain throne at Graceland, and for the first time in years Elvis was big news again.

(YouTube Link)

His career, health and fashion sense had been in decline for at least a decade, and even though his televised comeback special in '68 helped resuscitate his career for a moment the Elvis empire was falling apart.

And yet Americans didn't see Elvis' death coming, because they didn't want to or because they no longer cared about him, so they didn't know how to react when his weakened heart finally gave out on that mid-August day.

(YouTube Link)

Some cried, others played their old Elvis records in homage, but mostly people just tuned in to their TV sets and watched the coverage in disbelief, knowing the death of The King was the death of an era.

Parkour Challenge- Jump Through Impossible Shapes

Parkour enthusiasts learn to become very familiar with their personal space and how they move while performing a stunt, so holding a pose should come easy to them when they're standing still.

However, striking a pose while jumping is another matter entirely, and perfectly holding that pose so you can jump through a board with a shape or a posed silhouette cut out is seemingly impossible.

But The Dudesons never say never and they love a physical challenge, especially when it involves one-upping each other on video.
