Forensic Scientists Create The Face Of Crystal Skull Vodka

Forensic artists can’t come across a skull, or skull shaped decanter, without wondering what that person’s fleshy face looked like when they were among the living, and there’s no better testament to your artistic skills than creating a skull sculpture from scratch that actually looks like a human being when clay skin is added.

Some hitherto unnamed forensic scientists couldn’t help themselves when they saw a bottle of Crystal Skull Vodka sitting on the shelf at their local liquor store, they just had to see what that laughing face would look like properly skinned.

So they bought a bottle and went to work properly replacing layers of muscle and flesh until they revealed the face of a drunken fool, very appropriate for the spokesskull of a popular alcoholic beverage!

If anyone knows the name(s) of the forensic scientists behind this project please share in the comments below!

Update: These photos came from Crystal Head Vodka’s Facebook page. The forensic artist who did this is Nigel Cockerton.  -Thanks, kdub!


X-Men Origins: Wolverine Cat

On second thought, it might not have been such a great an idea to equip the cat with adamantium claws. He’s obviously having a little trouble getting used to them. Still, I’d go see this movie!  -via Tastefully Offensive


Breakdancing

Icy pavement makes everyone a breakdancer! Pretty soon, he’s going to break something! Or maybe he’s just the real-life incarnation of the game QWOP. If his hat falls off, people are liable to come by and drop coins into it. -via I Have Seen The Whole Of The Internet


The Twittertape Machine is a Ticker Tape Machine for Modern Times

It's the technological wonder of our electrified age! Adam's Twittertape Machine prints out tweets as soon he publishes them. It's heavier than a smart phone, but this is a classier way to tweet.

An American Football Coach in London

(YouTube link)

What we call football in the US is quite different from what the rest of the world calls football. The differences are highlighted when an American coach is recruited to run a British soccer team. But the differences between the US and the UK aren't limited to sports! Best line: "How many countries you got in this country?" Jason Sudeikis stars in this fish-out-of-water story. NBC Sports produced the video to promote soccer games on the American TV network. -via Daily of the Day

Starcher Trek--A Star Trek and Archer Mashup

The casting choices are perfect: Sterling Archer as Captain Kirk, Lana Kane as Lt. Uhura and Ray Gilette as Lt. Sulu. This funny mashup of Star Trek: The Animated Series and Archer shows a failing starship agency led by a lecherous idiot who manages to succeed in spite of himself.

Ventriloquist and Family

Jules Vernon was a vaudeville ventriloquist. In this "family" portrait, he shows off his characters. His wife is turned away from the camera, though. You have to wonder why -there's no way on earth she could be any uglier than the dummies! In fact, you can see more pictures of all of them in the Vent Haven Museum archives.

The UK is going crazy for Daleks as the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who approaches. Snugbury's, an ice cream shop in Cheshire, did its part for the cause by commissioning this enormous straw bale sculpture:

The Dalek standing out in the Hurleston field is not likely to exterminate passers-by, but is sure to delight young and old as the Doctor Who series celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Hundreds of visitors have already flocked to marvel at the 35ft creation, which weighs in at little over six tonnes.

So What Has Maru Been Up To

(Video Link)

It's been a while since we checked in with the internet's favorite happy kitty, so let's see how Maru's doing. Let's see some tail twitching, good. A little attack on the rug, very nice. A failed attempt at jumping and some water exposure...looks great. Yup, he's still up to his usual adorable tricks.

Sure, he looks adorable while he's rolling around with this plastic straw, but he's not trying to play -he's trying to get someone's attention so they will bring him a milkshake already. Sorry Leo, I would help if I could.
