Elephant Balancing on the Tip of Its Trunk



You can find this amusing sculpture by Miquel Barceló in Union Square in New York City. It stands 26 feet tall and weighs 7 tons. Why an elephant, let alone one in this position? The artist explained, "A tree looks like an upside-down elephant, and when you touch a tree, it feels like the skin of an elephant."

Microwaving stuff questions?

Go check out the web series "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" on YouTube. Ten glorious seasons of microwave awesomeness. (Give season one a chance, he did it in a bored voice on purpose as a joke.)

I'm sorry about your weekend, but you're welcome.

Only the original "classic" Ivory soap bars do that. Afterwards they crush up into a powder great for washing clothes in a pinch. It's hard to get the soap scent/taste out of the air though.
