Elephant Balancing on the Tip of Its Trunk - Neatorama

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."

It was displayed in Avignon, France, on the Pope's palace place until recently.

It's obviously holding up the world.
Please don't distract it.

All bars of soap will do that.... not just Ivory Soap.

Most of these are really bad ideas, but the Ivory Soap is always a hoot!

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.

And... which of 'all of those things' would do well on a grill, exactly? Someone had a good idea but couldn't make it work, that's for sure.

microwaving a microwave would almost certainly rip a hole in the fabric of space and time
