 photo giphy-1-1_zps3ne9tw7u.gif

Anyone who is thinking about having a Prince memorial party and celebrating his musical legacy by playing Prince songs all night should know that's the wrong way to go.

Because if you want to celebrate Prince the right way you've gotta party like Prince by playing his party playlist, along with your favorite Prince jams, of course.

Prince sent his ultra funky playlist to the producers of Fox's New Girl before his guest appearance on the show back in 2013, but now that Prince has gone to where all the Purple Rain comes from his playlist belongs to the people:

“City in the Sky,” The Staple Singers
“Country John,” Allen Toussaint
“Fire,” Ohio Players
“Happy House,” Shuggie Otis
“Higher Ground,” Stevie Wonder
“I Was Made to Love Him,” Chaka Khan
“Listen to the Music,” The Isley Brothers
“The Lord is Back,” Eugene McDaniels
“Lost in Music,” Sister Sledge
“The Pinocchio Theory,” Bootsy Collins
“Rubber Duckie,” Bootsy Collins
“Rumpofsteelskin,” Parliament
“Skin Tight,” Ohio Players
“We’re Gettin’ Too Close,” The Soul Children
“Wild and Free,” Curtis Mayfield
“After The Love Has Gone,” Earth, Wind & Fire
“Back in Baby’s Arms,” Allen Toussaint
“Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” The Isley Brothers
“Don’t Take My Sunshine,” The Soul Children
“How Could I Let You Get Away,” The Spinners
“I’ll Be Around,” The Spinners
“Push Me Away,” The Jacksons
“Stay With Me,” Shirley Brown
“The Thrill Is Gone,” Aretha Franklin

New T-Shirts from the NeatoShop:



Rainbow Dash Dalek

He'll not only exterminate you, but exterminate you 20% extra.

Jeremy Marbler made this amazing costume for his 6-year old daughter. The idea was all hers: a My Little Pony Dalek. It has movable wings and weapons. There's even a light and a fan inside so that the Dalek inside the Dalek shell feels comfortable.

Marbler plans to hook up lights, but I'd advise againt overpowering it. With wings, it can already defeat stairs. We don't need more dangerous Daleks.

Fan Uncovers Better Call Saul Title Puzzle, Wows Show Creators

Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould like to include Easter Eggs in their shows for observant fans to find, and viewers enjoyed finding secret stuff on Breaking Bad so much Vince and Peter decided to keep the Eggs rolling in Better Call Saul. (Spoiler-ish material ahead)

For the second season of Saul they decided to go beyond the visual and play with words by including an anagram in the episode titles, so they put the puzzle in place and didn't give it a second thought.

But a fan named Shaquita discovered the Easter Egg faster than a tweeker on Blue Sky, posting her findings on Twitter with the caption “on vacation this week, and have nothing but time lol".

The creators confirmed Shaquita's findings and were blown away by how fast she found it:

“We had this—to us—this very bright idea of encoding the words “Fring’s Back” in the episode titles,” Gould told Vanity Fair. “And we thought we’d be revealing it maybe sometime over the summer. I guess we really underestimated the genius and hard work of our fans.”

“And their attention to detail, and God bless them for it,” Gilligan chimed in.

Gould concluded: “It’s hard to complain about people paying attention to every aspect of the show. It certainly reminds us again that we better keep all our i’s dotted and our t’s crossed in every aspect of the show.”

The IKEA-Inspired Manuals On How To Handle A Breakup

When you're going through a difficult breakup you'll have people telling you cliché things like “it's okay to cry” and “there's no instruction manual on how to handle someone leaving you”, and those people are wrong.

Well, they're right about the crying part, I guess, so long as you're not blubbering in bed for days like a baby.

But the bit about there being no manual is false, because designer Caisa Nilaseca has created a whole series of easy to follow manuals inspired by the instruction sheets that come with IKEA furniture.

Caisa's minimalist manuals are far easier to understand than the IKEA versions, and instead of handing out the same old sad and tired advice her funny little manuals keep it 100% real.

Kids Who Look Just Like Their Famous Parents

It must be great for a famous face to create an offspring who has the exact same famous face, but I can see how that might suck for the kids.

After all, no matter what they want to do in life their recognizable face will make people think they're following in their parent's footsteps and hoping to become famous.

Some lazy kids will see the similarity in looks as an easy way to profit from their mom or dad's fame, while others will grow up never knowing the famous person they look exactly like.

Fantastically Freaky Comic Strips By Joan CornellĂ 

You don't have to be daft, dorky or deranged to draw comic strips, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

And those artists who are able to channel their particular brand of madness into their medium often become known for their fantastically freaky view of the world.

Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornellà has no problem letting his freak flag fly in his twisted (and often NSFW) comic strips, and looking at the world through Joan's eyes means finding magic in every nook and cranny.

Joan Cornellà's comics have earned him a place in the hearts of people who like to stare at funny stuff then laugh about it later when they see a shape or shadow that reminds them of his offbeat strips!

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...

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.

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!

Blacksmith Creates Crucible Steel Knife From Wrought Iron Wagon Wheel

 photo bylosmdlb0xb4n4xours_zps5dzblm3o.gif

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 Ship Monsters of Star Wars

Artist Jake Parker imagined the most famous ships and vehicles of Star Wars as, well, perhaps not monsters, but at least terrifyingly non-human. The X-wing fighter looks like something dragged out of the swamps of Dabogah and the incomplete Death Star like an Ewok science experiment gone wrong.

Who Invented Eggs Benedict?


(Photo: Jon Mountjoy)

Was the breakfast dish named after the infamous American traitor Benedict Arnold? No, not at all. 

Perhaps it was named after Pope Benedict XIII, who was put on a strict diet of eggs and toast? Nope.

Atlas Obscura says that the origin of eggs benedict remains, well, obscure. But the best explanation is that, in 1894, New York City stockbroker Lemuel Benedict staggered into the Waldorf Astoria Hotel restaurant in search for a cure of his hangover:

The story goes that Lemuel went to the Waldorf Hotel one hungover morning in 1894 and asked for “some buttered toast, crisp bacon, two poached eggs, and a hooker of hollandaise sauce.” (A "hooker" is what we now call a "glug" or a "slug.")  

This odd combination became a popular dish in American cuisine.
