Strange Video Shows Off The Latest In Feline Firearm Technology

Cats are used as pillows, napkins, backscratchers, lap warmers and free entertainment by their humans, and it's only a matter of time before humans figure out another use for freeloading felines.

But if the cats aren't careful, if they reveal their super secret sonic meow attack and show the humans that their canned food can be used as a grenade, then the cats will be forced into open warfare.

This strange and mysterious video shows what it's like to mew-mew-mew with a feline firearm in the game Special Force II, a weapon that has the cutest reload animation of all time!

This is exactly what first person shooters have been missing all these years...

Blacksmith Creates Crucible Steel Knife From Wrought Iron Wagon Wheel

Working away at a forge all day can make a smith feel moody, as they sweat every last ounce of hope out of their body while hammering away on a piece of metal which doesn't care about your pain.

This is the reality blacksmith Niels Provos is faced with every day, which is why he approached the prospect of forging a knife out of wrought iron wagon wheels with such "enthusiasm".

(YouTube Link)

Niels should record his own series of relaxation tapes, because I found his fairly monotone drone to be quite soothing and a heck of a lot better than twenty minutes of hammer head hitting steel!

The Real Meaning Behind Popular IKEA Product Names

The names IKEA uses for their products may seem strange, and the direct translations may be a bit off at times, but most IKEA names are perfectly appropriate for the product.

Take the BILLY bookcase and ELLY kitchen tea towels for example- the designs are supposed to be youthful and whimsical, so they were given popular names for kids.

The DUKTIG line translates to “capable”, which is how kids feel when they play with the tiny kitchen set, and this colorful plastic dinnerware below is appropriately named KALAS, the Swedish word for “party”.

Helpful Video Demonstrates How To Unclog A Bathroom Sink

It can be a real pain to live in a house with pipes that are constantly clogging up, and unless you know your way around the underside of a sink those clogs mean paying more money and calling a plumber.

But there are lots of helpful tutorials and DIY videos online that can help you avoid having to call in help, like this visual demonstration of how to unclog a bathroom sink from This Old House.

(YouTube Link)

The use of a clear pipe in the demonstration is a nice touch, and hopefully the pipes at our house won't clog up anytime soon but when they do I'll certainly give this a try!

Artist Adds Cartoon Monsters To Images Of Everyday Life

Your world may already be full of colorful characters and terrifying monsters, and depending on where you live these critters may make great subjects for photos, if they'll stand still long enough to take a pic.

But if your town/village/city is relatively critter free congratulations on living in a good place! And enjoy these images by animator Jasper StAubyn West that show what living in a literal world full of monsters would look like.

Jasper created these monsterrific images as part of a “doodle a day” project for the month of March, and here's hoping he brings them back soon because they totally rock!

Polaroids From Original "Rocky Horror" Set Found On Subway Platform

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the most beloved musicals of all time, especially to those who like shows with a little more bite, but when the iconic movie came out in 1975 it was overlooked by critics.

However, everyone who worked on the production knew it was pure magic, and all the fun taking place on the set and behind the scenes was captured on a series of now historic Polaroid photos.

 

These precious Polaroids (original photographer unknown) were used in The Rocky Horror Scrapbook then later purchased from a private collection by Larry Viezel.

Trouble is, a few of them fell out of Larry's bag at a New York City subway platform back in 2011, and could have been lost forever if a guy named Brady Marter hadn't shared them on Collectors Weekly:

Founds these on the platform of the C train in TriBeCa in 2011. They are photos of Tim Curry and the cast of Rocky Horror during the making of the film. Some have writing on the back and Frankenfurter kissed the back of one.

Larry commented on Brady's post and was able to convince him to return all but one of the Polaroids, a small price to pay to make this irreplaceable collection whole again.

As Seen On TV Products That Are Surprisingly Awesome

Terrible As Seen On TV product lists have been done to death, but where's the love for the worthwhile products that just happen to be marketed and sold with a little help from television advertising?

(YouTube Link)

This video by WatchMojo.com shows us the good side of As Seen On TV, reminding us how the Fun Loom helped our kids get crafty, the PedEgg smoothed out our calloused feet, and the Mighty Putty fixed our broken lives.


The Last Time Superman Died

Superman is slated to die once again, and even though he probably won't stay dead for long there's always a part of us that wonders "what if this really is the last time he dies?"

The last time Superman died, which was back in 1993 when he died battling the Kryptonian super villain Doomsday, readers believed he might be dead for good.

Their fears were reinforced by a special issue of Newstime which was released in May of 1993 as a fun way to make readers feel like part of the story as they read a magazine from Metropolis.

The magazine, which features a full article on Superman's final battle, funny letters to the editor and reviews of upcoming fictional movies, made real the idea of a world without Superman.

It also gave those new comic readers brought on board by the death storyline hype a fun introduction to the DC Universe at a point when many supermen tried but failed to replace one Man of Steel.

35 Frightening Nopes From Australia, The Land Of Nope

(Image Link)

All of the things that make our skin crawl with terror, make us want to look away or jump out of the nearest window and run away in fear have been conveniently categorized online as “nopes”.

Nopes come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of creepiness, from the beginner nopes found in trash piles to the hordes of nope lurking under the sea.

(Image Link)

Australia has more than its fair share of shiver inducing nopes, so many, in fact, that they seem to be spilling out of every nook, cranny and light fixture.

(Image Link)

So if you can't stand the sight of squirmy and extremely poisonous critters dining on equally dangerous creatures like it's no big deal then you may want to visit anywhere else but Australia...

The Real Reason 10 TV Show Characters Were Killed Off

Shows like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones love to kill off characters, but when a supporting character is killed on a sitcom like Seinfeld or The Big Bang Theory people start to wonder why.

George's fiancee Susan was killed off because actress Heidi Swedberg lacked the comedy chops to keep up with the Seinfeld cast, so she didn't make the cut.

But sadly Howard Wolowitz's mom on The Big Bang Theory, who was never actually seen on camera, was killed off because actress Carol Ann Susi died of cancer.

Carol had previously appeared on Seinfeld as the unemployment office worker's daughter, Carrie, with whom George went out on a few dates to avoid losing his benefits.

This video by Looper reveals the real reason 10 different characters were written off popular TV shows, including the tragic tale of Tuco Salamanca the tired, and you can read a few more entries they left out of the video here.


Elementary School Teacher Wins Twerking Contest, Loses Job

Apparently some people still love to twerk, and those butt shakin' fools are willing to risk wetting themselves in public, spinal injury or worse to shake what their maker gave them to a funky bass beat.

But elementary school teacher “Miss Clarissa” clearly didn't have a clue that her love of the twerk would cost her a job she loved even more.

“Miss Clarissa” was fired when this video of her competing in and winning a twerking contest in Cabo San Lucas during Spring Break was shared online. 

(YouTube Link)

She was forced out of her job by school administrators who found her off campus behavior unacceptable:

"They didn't give me any other option at my school than to resign," she told the publication. "I felt I was being attacked and put under pressure. I didn't know what else to do apart from leave as quickly as I could."

This is just further proof we live in an oversensitive world that places too much importance on social media posts, and if teachers aren't allowed to blow off steam in their private time it's the students who will suffer.

This Is Why You Should Let Sleeping Tigers Sleep

Tigers are like all cats in that they need to squeeze in eighteen plus hours a day of beauty sleep, and they really don't like to be disturbed while they're catching some z's.

But unlike most other cats a tiger will launch a furious attack at anyone who dares disturb their sleep, even if that attack leads to an awkward tension between bros in a shared enclosure.

Is that the tiger from The Hangover? Looks like Mike Tyson has taught him some moves!

Portraits Of People After They've Had A Glass Or Three Of Wine

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror when you're buzzed or totally blotto and thought “gee, my face looks kinda funny right now!”

You may have dismissed this change in appearance as merely the product of inebriation, but this photo series by Marcos Alberti shows us that drinking actually makes our faces more fun.

That's because the alcohol in our favorite alcoholic beverages (in this case wine) takes away our inhibitions and allows us to stretch our faces into super silly expressions, thereby eliciting laughs.

It's all really scientific and related to chemistry and biology and endorphins and such, but this is all you really need to take away from Marcos Alberti's photo series- three glasses of wine is enough to loosen anyone up!
