The word "vegetarian" apparently means something different to the person who designed this menu. At first it looks as if they think chicken is not real meat, but then you see pork and steak, too. Maybe it means "has vegetables in it"? Maybe not, as the first offering doesn't mention vegetables at all. Go figure! -via Arbroath

Once upon a time, a brave knight charged forward in a joust against a wicked prince, only to be unhorsed and thrown to the ground, defeated. He would have remained there, but for the healing kiss of a kindly fairy princess. Revived, he returned to battle and slew his foe.
Lydia Palmer snapped this beautiful photo of a knight and his daughter at a modern joust. She explains that the little girl healed everyone on the field with her magic wand, then kissed her daddy.
Fire up the Jagwagon, Alfred. We're going to to the shop! Apparently, that's what you get when a Volkswagen and a Jaguar fall in love and have a baby.
The People of Walmart featured this pink awesomeness-on-wheels parked at an Arkansas Walmart earlier this month. A commenter on that site said, "I’m from Arkansas and have seen this car…at a gas station in Benton…and the girl who drives it also has a pet monkey who wears diapers….wish i could find the pics I took of them all together posing with the car…"
We'll keep you up to date if pics of the driver and her pet monkey appear on the Web.

Hey, for just a buck, who cares if "orange" has a very different definition to Walmart?
On another note, isn't it amazing what you can get for a dollar - think about the material, labor, and transportation cost that has to go into selling that product. All for a dollar!

There's no limit to what Gort could do. He could destroy the Earth ... or keep astronauts at the International Space Station company.
Gort, the humanoid robot from the 1951 sci-fi film The Day The Earth Stood Still is one of many secret messages and objects that you could find on the ISS today as it orbits the Earth. NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn, who returned from a 5-month stint aboard the space station in May 2013, told Nancy Atkinson of Universe Today that there are many messages, signatures, and objects left aboard the station by its builders and previous crews:
“We did a lot of maintenance during our flight and rotated out a lot of the experiment racks and we saw many signatures on the internal hull or on the inside parts of the racks. Things like ‘Greetings from the Water Recovery team!’ with everyone’s signature. That’s fairly prevalent on the inside, particularly behind the racks, but not in plain view.”
Marshburn said about lil' Gort:
“There is a four-inch version of Gort, the robot figure from the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still” stuck on the wall where we gather in the Destiny Lab for our daily planning conferences. He sometimes gets unstuck and floats around the ISS, so whenever we find him wandering around, we stick him back up on the wall. He’s kind of ubiquitous."
He didn't say whether anyone has ever uttered "Klaatu barada nikto" to Gort.

This is what happens when you have John Farrier for a librarian.
Honestly, we don't know who took the picture, but we know John will gladly take credit for the idea. The geekiness of your local librarian is a feature, not a bug. -via Geeks Are Sexy
Update: The photo was taken by Grace Nuth, originally posted here. Yes, she is a librarian! -Thanks, Thomas!
Natalia Rak painted this enormous mural in Białystok, Poland. How very conscientious of this little girl! Her tree is well cared for.

Psychologist Richard Wiseman of Quirky Mind Stuff posted this perspective illusion in his blog and told us that the cars are the same size. Despite that, our mind stubbornly believes that the car on top are larger - much larger, maybe almost twice the size - of the car at the bottom.
How can this be?
You're looking at a great example of the Ponzo Illusion, which was first demonstrated by Italian psychologist Mario Ponzo in 1911. Ponzo suggested that the way we judge an object's size is highly dependent on its background.
Indeed, you can take a ruler and measure the heights of the three cars (or check out the crude animated GIF below that I whipped out to show the effect) - but even after you *know* that the cars are of the same size, your brain simply refuses to see it that way.
My spidey-sense is tingling that he's not using device-agnostic responsive web design with the latest social discovery, scalable vector graphics and cloud-based hosting. And, please, don't talk web design without talking about gamification, CSS preprocessing (with built-in vendor prefixing, of course), and HTML5.
Seems legit. There can be no other explanation when this psychic went on Judge Judy and claimed that her tiny hand gave her psychic powers. I mean, look at it: that's one really tiny hand. This screen capture is making its round on the web, but we're sure that the woman has already known that.
On the other hand (hah!) this would make a great entry for the One Tiny Hand Tumblr.
Playing a computer game, listening to music, eating ... AND pooping at the same time? This kid will surely grow up to be a multitasking champ. Bravo, parents! Bravo!
That's Chuck McCarthy of History of Chuck eating from a bowl balanced on his head. Two hands, two spoons. One mouth and one epic beard. If that is not talent, I don't know what is.
We've written about Pablo Stanley of Stanley Colors blog before on Neatorama, but the man is on a roll! Great job, Pablo! In this new panel, he illustrated one of the most iconic songs ever recorded, Imagine by John Lennon.
It's probably impossible not to read the cartoon and have the song not pop into your head. It's now probably going to get stuck in your head for the rest of the day, but hey, at least it's a catchy tune!
Sing it with me, "Imagine there's no heaven ..." (Love this song? Did you know that the lyric and concept came from Lennon's wife Yoko Ono? But Lennon said that, "in those days I was more selfish, more macho and omitted to mention her contribution." Read more about Imagine in this article by Eddie Deezen, "Imagine: John Lennon's Signature Song.")
If you wonder who the guy named "Milk" in the fourth from last panel, that's San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in the United States in 1977. Milk was assassinated in 1978, just 11 months after taking office.
The woman named Anna in the third from last panel is Russian journalist, writer, and human rights activist named Anna Politkovskaya. She reported about the Chechen conflict and published several books critical of the current Russian government. In 2006, Politkovskaya was shot and killed in her apartment complex. Her murder remained unsolved until today.
The meaning of Imagine is a hotly debated topic, but Pablo noted in his blog, "This is NOT an anti-religion/atheist propaganda comic. The comic and the song (at least as I understand it) [try] to communicate that no matter your faith, we should all share the world in peace ... As silly as that sounds."
