Humidifiers are good for keeping rooms humid, which can benefit you if you have dry skin, chapped lips, or frequent coughs. But why settle for a good humidifier when you can have an excellent one? Introducing the Godzilla Humidifier: King of the Humidifiers.
Turn Godzilla on, and his theme music plays. His mouth also lights up to create a heat ray effect, which I assumed to be a cold ray since it’s blue. The desktop Kaiju will also alert you when his water tank is empty by making footstep sounds.
This godlike humidifier is available on Amazon for $78.
If you saw patrol cars near Soledad Canyon/ Shadow Pines Blvd in Cyn Country this afternoon, everything was fine. We heard of a boy who needed some cheer because his b-day party was cancelled. When we learned he loves police, we did a drive-by. 🚔👍 #saferathome#flattenthecurvepic.twitter.com/Wu4UIl40MG
Stay home, stay safe orders mean that lots of kids are having to celebrate birthdays a little differently this year. That, however, hasn't stopped the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Department from making sure those kids feel special.
I believe that all of us have procrastinated at least once in our lifetime. We might have been tasked to accomplish a task, but then we realize how much time we have and we decide to put off the task at hand. And then suddenly, it’s already the last minute, and that’s the only time where we finally do the thing that we should have done ages ago. Procrastination is a deadly habit, and one that is really difficult to break out of, but not impossible. So how do you break free from the chains of procrastination? Psychology Today gives some tips that you might find useful. Go check them out NOW over at the site.
We know that female humans generally live longer than their male counterparts. But it seems that this fact is not only applicable to us humans alone. It is also applicable to various mammal species, as found out by evolutionary biologist Tamás Székely.
By reviewing demographic studies of wild mammal populations, Székely and fellow researchers found that females live longer in 60 percent of the 101 mammal species they considered. On average, these females lived 18.6 percent longer than males from the same species.
What are the factors that contribute to this lifespan difference between females and males? Find out over at ScienceAlert.

Have you ever wished that reality was much simpler like video games, where you could respawn when you die? Where money is never a problem? And where difficulty could be adjusted anytime? But have you ever wondered what it would actually look like?
Cracked shares to us, in pictures, what reality would look like if it operated on video game logic, and if reality was reality like this, it “would be baffling on multiple levels.”
The Dating Game was a Chuck Barris game show that began in 1965 and ran in various versions up through 1999. Like The Newlywed Game, it owed its popularity to sexual innuendo that produced giggles at the time, but just seems creepy now. Adding to the cringe factor is the fact that a convicted sex offender on parole managed to become a contestant. And he later turned out to be a prolific serial killer.
The man born as Rodney James Alcala is maybe not as well known as some of the more notorious serial killers such as Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer, but he is certainly just as bad. Throughout the course of his grim killing spree he would ruthlessly rape, torture, and murder at least seven young women in California and New York under the guise of being a professional photographer, quite possibly dozens more. He was known as being particularly sadistic in his killings, often strangling a woman until she passed out, reviving her, and then starting the process over again, until she was dead. He was a cold hearted monster, but by all accounts a very personable and charming fellow to those who had no idea of his secret life, and this is probably best illustrated by the time he turned up on an episode of The Dating Game.
Alcala appeared on The Dating Game in 1978 as one of three bachelors to compete for a date with a young woman named Cheryl Bradshaw. Alcala won that competition. Read about Rodney Alcala and his TV victory at Mysterious Universe. See clips from the show here. -via Strange Company
Before Serena Williams, before Althea Gibson, there was Ora Washington, an athlete you probably have never heard of. Born around the turn of the 20th century, Washington worked as a maid in Philadelphia. She honed her tennis skills at the Germantown YWCA in Philadelphia, a facility reserved for Black residents, and played in the American Tennis Association (ATA), which was also the result of segregation.
Washington’s natural athleticism was apparent from the beginning of her training at the Y. In 1925, her second year of tournament play, she captured the women’s doubles title at the ATA nationals. She went on to win eight singles championships, 12 consecutive doubles titles and three mixed doubles titles.
But the forces of segregation that provided Washington the opportunity to become the first Black female sports star also precluded her from becoming one in American society as a whole. The all-Black ATA formed in 1916 because the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) — which would eventually become the USTA — refused to allow Black athletes to play. Helen Willis Moody, the leading USTA female athlete in the ’20s and ’30s, never played Washington, says Carrington, even though the leading white male player of the era, Grand Slam winner Don Budge, played Jimmie McDaniel, the reigning ATA champ, in a historic match in July 1940.
But that's just tennis. Washington played professional basketball in the off season, starting in 1930, and eventually made the Basketball Hall of Fame. Read about the life of two-sport star Ora Washington at Ozy.
Jeremy Cohen, a New York City photographer, spotted a woman dancing on a rooftop across the street. He sent a message to her by drone, with his phone number. She texted him! Then he and Tori had a video chat, and he set up a date. For dinner. On separate rooftops. They had identical food and watched each other from their respective buildings. You can read the entire story at Bored Panda.
But wait! That's not the entire story, because since that account was published, Jeremy and Tori met in person, up close and almost personal. You can see a video of that over-the-top yet safe encounter here. What are the odds that this story will be a Hallmark movie before it's all over? -via Fark
One of the most iconic streets in the world just got a little makeover.
London's iconic Abbey Road, which is normally a tourist magnet thanks to its appearance on the Beatles album cover of the same name, is now empty as locals hunker down inside.
That has provided a rare opportunity for municipal employees in the UK capital to give the famous crossing a new coat of paint.
Stay home, stay safe, and let public works step in and beautify the place appears to be the new UK motto. Thank you municipal employees for brightening our day with a little paint.

A restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, is allegedly selling $2 frozen pizzas for $18. Coquin also advertises the pizza as “gourmet Roman-style thin crust pizza, with house made marinara sauce and whole milk mozzarella.” The restaurant sells two variants of “gourmet pizzas”: a cheese pie for $18, and a pizza with toppings for $20. InsideHook has more details:
Chef and owner Chip Grimalda told the paper that the restaurant has sold about 20 pizzas a day. “Everyone who’s ordered it has given us rave reviews,” he said. “Right now, we’re still getting (the needed) ingredients in: That may change in the future, but we’re just trying to, you know, make it through to the next week.”
However, The Post and Courier reports having witnessed Grimalda receive a pizza order on Tuesday, “go from the restaurant to his nearby apartment, then leave on a delivery run with corrugated cardboard boxes that read, ‘Fresh Pizza, Oven Baked.’” The publication also found four-pack boxes of Kirkland Signature Cheese Pizza with Breadcrumb Crusts inside the restaurant’s trash cans.
When asked if he was passing off frozen pizzas as homemade and selling them for marked-up prices, Grimalda said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s definitely not Costco, and that’s all I have to say.”
Bruce Willis crashes into a house as Doraemon in a new SoftBank ad. The actor doesn’t look like the famous character in the commercial at all. He wasn’t wearing a proper Doraemon costume, he just had a blue hoodie and white t-shirt on. In the ad, the company proposes that 5G is another secret weapon Doraemon can use, along with the Anywhere Door and 4D Pocket. While Bruce Willis doesn’t resemble Doraemon, it’s still funny to watch him crash through a house as Doraemon for a commercial.
Each winter, the NYAM holds a week-long online festival where museums, libraries, and other institutions provide black-and-white downloadable PDFs for coloring and education. This year, the event ran from February 3–7. There were over 100 participating institutions, although you can still download coloring pages from past years’ participants.
Some of this year’s participants include Memoria Chilena (Chile), Kansai University Open Research Center for Asian Studies (Japan), the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg (USA), Trinity Hall at Cambridge University (UK), and Bibliothèque nationale de France (France).
