BOHEMIA by Medusa Dollmaker

The Bohemian lifestyle has always appealed to me, and while others pursue wealth and surround themselves with the trappings of the rich I prefer to keep things simple, artsy and full of free love. Now that's not to say rich people and Bohemians have nothing in common, because both appreciate the beauty of art, the pleasure found in a fine bottle of booze and the wonderful warmth felt while listening to good music. But the rich chase after possessions that are meant to impress other people but owned by few while Bohemians know the best things in life are meant to be enjoyed by rich and poor alike!

Declare your love of the simpler things in life with this BOHEMIA t-shirt by Medusa Dollmaker, it's a wondrous way to show the world you're a Bohemian now and forever more.

The library can be a place of intrigue and mystery - that's what librarian Georgia Grainger found out one day, when a little old lady approached her with a question.

"Why does page 7 in all the books I take out have the 7 underlined in pen? It seems odd," she said.

Odd indeed! And when Grainger checked other books, she discovered that many, though not all, also bear the secret code.

So why are some books marked with the secret code and not others? Grainger reveals the deviously clever reason here.

Some suspects can talk their way out of a police investigation, but a Kansas City man decided to use his other bodily aperture:

On Sept. 1, [suspect Sean Sykes Jr.] was in a car that police searched and found a backpack that contained various drugs and two handguns ... In his report about the interview, the detective wrote that when asked about his address, “Mr. Sykes leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart before answering with the address.” “Mr. Sykes continued to be flatulent and I ended the interview,” the detective wrote.

In 2013, we posted a gripping short film from Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke about a doomed father trying to save his infant daughter during a zombie apocalypse. Cargo was a hit at Tropfest Film Festival and went viral on the internet. Five years later, it has been made into a feature-length film.

From the producer of The Babadook, and starring Martin Freeman, comes Cargo. Based on the viral short film, this is the story of a man and his infant daughter who are stranded in the middle of a zombie apocalypse in rural Australia. And when he becomes infected, the countdown begins for him to find her protection before he changes forever.

Cargo is set to debut on Netflix May 18th. -via Laughing Squid

A trainload of poop that's parked near your home, of course.

That's what's happening to Parrish, Alabama. Right now, dozens of train cars loaded with 10 million pounds of poop from New York and New Jersey are stranded in a rail yard in the rural Alabama town.

CBC Radio has the story:

So how did Parrish end up a trainload of sewer sludge from out of state? It was originally en route to Big Sky Environmental, a private landfill in Adamsville, Ala. But in January, the nearby town of West Jefferson filed an injunction against Big Sky to stop them storing the waste in a rail yard near them.

West Jefferson won its legal battle with Big Sky in February. "The railroad decided: Well, if we can't go to West Jefferson, the next closest rail stop to Big Sky would be the town of Parrish. They have a really large train yard so we're just going to bring it there," Hall said. "And that's what they did. And it kept coming and coming and coming."

It's now proven by science: dishwashing is bad for your marital relationship ... or more accurately, not helping your spouse with dishwashing will get you in trouble.

A study by Daniel Carlson and colleagues at the University of Utah, found that amongst a variety of common household tasks (like shopping, laundry, and housecleaning), dishwashing is the most unpopular chore and the one that's most likely to cause marital strife if left unshared:

Women who wash the vast majority of the dishes themselves report more relationship conflict, less relationship satisfaction, and even worse sex, than women with partners who help. Women are happier about sharing dishwashing duties than they are about sharing any other household task. ...

The most unpopular household tasks, Carlson told [Caroline Kitchener of The Atlantic], also tend to be the ones most often associated with women. Traditionally, women have shouldered full responsibility for chores that involve cleaning up after someone else: doing the laundry, cleaning the toilet, washing dishes. Men, on the other hand, are often associated with mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, washing the car—tasks that don’t require getting up close and personal with somebody else’s daily grime. Today, women who have to shoulder those traditionally female chores alone “see themselves as relegated to the tasks that people don’t find desirable,” Carlson said. That breeds resentment.

Suelen Schaumloeffel's dog Lana is one generous puppy! The dog, which was rescued from the streets of Brazil and adopted by Schaumloeffel and her fiancé, shared a blanket with a stray dog outside the fence!

"I thought, 'How beautiful what she did for her friend,'" Schaumloeffel tells The Dodo. "My best four-legged friend reminded me of something so important: generosity!"

Street artist Pejac (previously on Neatorama) visited Brooklyn, New York City, and created this optical illusion art titled "Fossil."

The artwork looks like the image of a tree made from missing bricks on the building's wall - but in actuality, Pejac created that illusion by spray painting "shadows" on the individual bricks.

From the artist's Instagram:

‘Fossil’ works as a harbinger of a hypothetical fatal future where the only memory we have of nature is the fossilized form of a tree in a brick wall.

When James Fox of Apex, North Carolina, checked the footage of his home security camera, he saw something that looked like a flurry of snow ... only that it wasn't snow. It was actually ... pollen.

"I think it was dramatic last night because of the wind," he explained. "Driving home from our farm last night it actually impacted visibility. At times it was pretty dense, like fog, or smoke," Fox said to ABC11. "I just noticed they (cameras) were getting triggered from the movement and thought it looked cool"

Oh, my allergies! My nose stuffed up just looking at the video clip!

Tinykittens is a cat rescue project that practices TNR (trap, neuter, release) on feral cats in British Columbia. You can read our previous posts about them. Last year, we told you about their rescue of the elderly feral cat they named Grandpa Mason, who turned out to have a real soft spot for kittens. Tinykittens founder Shelly Roche told Global News that Grandpa Mason was lonely after his latest litter grew up and found homes. They had spayed and neutered 90% of the local feral cat colony, and were looking for kittens that might need a grandpa's love.

However, since then, Tinykittens has captured feral cats Chloe, Rula, and Ramona, all pregnant. Grandpa Mason has already made friends with Chloe. Tinykittens has a live webcam on their three pregnant cats, and expect them to deliver in the next few days. You might want to bookmark the link to check on them. -via Metafilter

Psst! Want some free money? Artist Blake Fall-Conroy can hook you up - all you have to do is turn the handle, and some coins will fall out of this nifty "Minimum Wage Machine."

The catch? Turning the crank will yield only 1 penny every 4 seconds thus giving you only $9 per hour - the minimum wage in the state of New York (as of 2016).

You've seen the letter 'g' in books and magazines countless of times (in fact, there are two in the sentence you just read) - but do you know how to write it?

Easy, right?

Well, not so fast. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University found that many people actually can't pick out the typeset form of 'g' out of a lineup:

"We would say: 'There're two forms of g. Can you write them?' And people would look at us and just stare for a moment, because they had no idea," said first author Kimberly Wong, a junior undergraduate at Johns Hopkins. "Once you really nudged them on, insisting there are two types of g, some would still insist there is no second g." ...

"They don't entirely know what this letter looks like, even though they can read it," said co-author Gali Ellenblum, a graduate student in cognitive science. "This is not true of letters in general. What's going on here?"
