It's All Mom and Dad's Fault!

See? It's all your parents' fault. If only mom had breastfed ya when you were a baby, none of these would've happened!

Fun trivia for you: Babies were "bottle" fed since the Middle Ages. Back then, horn was commonly used as drinking vessels for adults, and there's evidence that cow horns with soft leather sacks attached were used to feed babies when the mother or a wet nurse wasn't available.


Principal Canceled Class Because of Great Weather

Headmaster Len McWilliams of Calvary Christian School has canceled many school days because of bad weather. So, he vowed to do the opposite before he retires at the end of the year: cancel class to let school children enjoy a day outside when the weather is great.

"In the late 1980s, I was calling school off one winter day because of the terrible weather," he said to The Ledger-Enquirer. "The thought occurred to me that it would be great to call school off some day because it was too beautiful a day to go to school."

On Friday, McWilliams did just that: he canceled school because of awesome weather (You go, principal McWilliams!)

What do you think? Is canceling class (Gasp! What will the children learn?) so kids could enjoy a great day outdoors a bad thing?

Mister Donut Toolbox

Alex

Japanese blogger magocraft noticed that the packaging from Japanese donut company Mister Donut looks like a tiny toolbox, so she decided to make one out of it! Mago took apart three Mister Donut boxes, cut and re-glued them back into this functional folding toolbox, perfect for carrying around your next batch of freshly baked donuts. Fantastic!

Like a wise Jedi once said, "Do or Donut, there is no try." See if you can make your own:

Robocabbie

Alex

Jensen Karp of Gallery 1988 (previously on Neatorama) commissioned this artwork above, titled Robocabbie, by Jason Edmiston for the gallery's Crazy 4 Cult show last year. Karp asked for an artwork with pop culture references, and it's safe to say that Edmiston delivered. Epicly.

Gallery 1988 is releasing the second collection of featured artwork in its book Crazy 4 Cult: Cult Movie Art 2 next week, and to mark that occassion Angela Watercutter of WIRED asked Karp to pick some of his favorites from the collection. See what he picked over at WIRED's Underwire Blog.

How many movie references can you identify from the Robocabbie above? (And Robocabbie better get goin' - it's not wise to keep a Xenomorph waiting ...)


Ohio Told Man That He Must Stay Legally Dead

Alex

When a dead man is found alive and well (and ahem, not a zombie), does he remain dead? He does, according to Ohio.

Here's the strange story of Donald Miller, who was declared dead, then found alive, then told by a judge that he has to stay legally dead. Confused? Read on.

The story, according to ABC News, began when Donald Miller of Ohio disappeared in 1986 after losing his job. He left behind his wife and two children. Years later, his wife sought to have him declared legally dead so she could collect his Social Security benefits for their two minors. In 1994, Miller was declared dead.

Fast forward to today, when Miller came back to Ohio and tried to re-establish his social security number. He went up to the judge, who said that according to Ohio legal statute, there could be no changes to death rulings after three years have passed.

So, according to the State of Ohio, Donald Miller is (legally) dead and must remain so, despite that the man is still walking around amongst the living.

Pop! Goes the Giant Soap Bubble

Alex

Pop! goes the giant bubble. Joey Shanks of Shanks FX filmed a video clip of giant soap bubbles floating in the air and popping ... all in slow motion.

In this YouTube clip, Shanks explained how you can build a giant bubble wand, the recipe for to make supersized soap bubbles, as well as how to make your own "bubble control" wand with battery-powered fans attached to a long stick.

Man, that looks like fun! Via Gizmodo
