Redditor AbsintheCube went to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in California with his daughters. They had a great time, but he felt that something was missing ... a thrilling adventure, so AbsintheCube decided to fix that with a little Photoshoppery.
Take a look:
Don't just pop open the pizza box when you get your pizza delivery. Open slowly for dramatic effect, as this pizza box from Papa Gino's pizzeria in Massachusetts said.
It won't hurt if you have a little drumroll sound effects playing in the background.
Neigh, they're not horsing around in the living room. As you can clearly see, they're calmly watching TV together.
But where did the horse come from? They must've nicked it from somewhere.
You've undoubtedly seen missing pet posters taped light poles near your home, but have you seen this distressing (in more ways than one) "lost" poster about Penelope, the Mexican Red Rump Tarantula?
Bonus: She's pregnat with hundreds of babies.
The sign, posted a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, in tsaid that the tarantula looks menacing, but she's mostly harmless:
I know she looks crazy scary, but she's mostly harmless. She's pregnant, so I'm hoping to find her before she has her babies. She's mostly active at night and likes to hide in dark corners. She shouldn't bite, but sometimes jumps when frightened. If you find her, please try to catch her and put her in a tupperware bowl with a few holes in the top for air.
So, Brooklynites you've got two choices: catch the tarantula or move out!
Summer's been here a while, so are you ready to BBQ? Perhaps this will help: The Pit Boss BBQ Tool Belt that stores over 15 barbecue tools and accessories.
The tool belt has space to hold your butane lighter, spatulas, tongs, grilling forks, pigtails, sauces and seasonings, meat thermometer, cell phone, bottle opener, and of course, cold beer (not one, not two, but three separate chambers for cold bottles or cans!)
Locked out of your house? Sounds like a case for ... Surelock Homes! For him, fixing locks is elementary, my dear Watson. (But don't ask him about keys, because, you know, there is no key).

Now THIS is what animated GIFs are made for!
New York City-based photographer Romain Laurent started to create looping portraits as a personal challenge late last year. "As far as the intention of the series, it's a way for me to explore a hybrid medium, experiment and being spontaneous while sticking to a short weekly deadline," Laurent told Colossal, "There isn't a common concept between each loop, I just 'go with the flow' and see what comes to my mind each week."

Nicole Bogatitus didn't have enough coffee this morning
Someone told me the secret to remembering the names of people I just met, but I promptly forgot all about it. But I'm comforted that I'm not alone, as this comic from Sarah Andersen of Doodle Time illustrates.
Oh, Bother! The a-Pooh-calypse is here and it started in the Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, where hundreds of Pooh streamed out of the Hundred Acre Wood in search of honey (or is it human brains? In that case, poor Christopher Robin ... We all know that the bear ain't all that fuzzy and cuddly)
The pooh-lice didn't stand a chance!
We know that they love Winnie the Pooh in Poland (there's even a street in Warsaw named after the bear), but they didn't love him that much. This image is a clever Photoshop of a single guy in a Winnie the Pooh costume wandering the town's central square)
No long piece? The maker of this Tetris tater tots (they should've called it "Totris") is so cruel! But to be fair, the only way to "disappear" these delicious Tetris tater tots is to do it Pac-Man style! Nom nom nom ...

We've featured Gesine Marwedel's amazing body paint art before on Neatorama a while ago, but she's added many more amazing artwork.
"Body painting is not just paint to a living canvas; it is receiving the body shapes in the design, painting on and with the body," Marwedel wrote on her website. "It is the transformation of a human being into a breathing, moving, living work of art."
We're particularly struck with the surreal anatomical body paint designs. For example:

"I thought it was a puppy at first," said Cheyenne Harboe, "Then I got closer, and he was really skinny, and I thought he was probably sick." So the Fort Worth, Texas, woman, wrapped the animal in a blanket, named him Taco, and took him to a nearby animal hospital.
That's where she learned that the cute puppy she thought she was rescuing turned out to be a coyote. And not just any coyote - it's probably a coyote with rabies.
Veterinarian Karen Metzler told FOX 4, "The lack of fear in this puppy sets off alarm bells for the potential for rabies. The potential for rabies exposure is present in wildlife, and coyotes are known to be a high reservoir host for rabies." Animal control was called and the coyote was euthanized.
Harboe's adventure didn't have the sweet ending she had envisioned. "I kind of regretted like trying to help him out 'cause of the whole animal control thing," she said.
You've probably seen the ironic photo of a crashed plane in a tree next to the sign that says "Learn to Fly Here" floating around the web or in your inbox, but you probably didn't know the story behind it.
Check-Six has the article, originally written by Christopher L. Freeze for the November 2007 issue of AOPA Pilot about the pilot who crashed:
... Brookham was flying the downwind leg of his first pattern, to the northeast of the runway, and starting to descend when, at around 5 pm and for no apparent reason, his engine lost power.
Brookham had an immediate feeling of something being very wrong. [...]
Finishing with a check of his fuel systems, and unable to restart the engine, Brookham glided downwards. But, with only 40 knots of airspeed, in the pitch black of the night, and with a wind-milling propeller, his options were limited. He chose his base to land, lining up with the east-west road running near the airport, Judge Orr Road, and continued to glide downward for a forced landing. He hoped to land on Judge Orr Road, and have the airplane stopped by the time he reached the intersection of Highway 24.
Brookham stated, "I was just trying to get the airplane down safe." He knew that there were homes in the vicinity of the airport, and didn’t want to hurt anyone. But, in the darkness, in the seconds before touchdown, as he tilted the plane’s nose downwards, he saw a frightening pairs of lights - those of an oncoming car!
