Just Look at that Face! Dog Shaming Has No Effect Whatsoever With This Dog

Alex

Oh, this dog doesn't look at all remorseful for having committed the crime of sticking its head in the shower and licking people's butts when they weren't looking. Not at all, sir. Just look at that face! That's not a face of regret, if I ever see one.

Dog shaming has no effect whatsoever with this pooch!


Why We Harvest the Blue Blood of Millions of These Alien-Looking Creatures

What if we were to tell you that if you ever taken a medicine, ever had an injection, or had surgical implants like pacemakers and prosthetic devices, then you owe your life to these ancient, alien looking animals with blue blood.

Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic has the fascinating story of the horseshoe crab and how its blue blood has strange medical properties that allow us to test for the presence of bacterial contaminant - even at the concentrations of just one part per trillion:

The marvelous thing about horseshoe crab blood, though, isn't the color. It's a chemical found only in the amoebocytes of its blood cells that can detect mere traces of bacterial presence and trap them in inescapable clots. ...

When the crab blood cells sense invaders, they release granules of the chemical, which becomes a gooey physical barrier to the movement of the bacteria, preventing the spread of infection. The best metaphor might be the superpower of the X-Men's Iceman, but instead of using cold to encase enemies, the horseshoe crab instead uses its remarkable chemistry.

5 Awesome "Graffitrees": Graffiti with Actual Trees

Alex


Afro Taino by Gabriel Abreu in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic

Great graffiti happens when the artists don't get stumped. Instead, they go out on a limb to incorporate site-specific elements into their artwork (What? Yew don't like tree graffitis or tree puns? Ya poor sap - Just leaf now)

Here are some poplar examples of great tree graffiti (or should we call them graffitree?)

Nuxono Xän, Fort de France, Martinique

Forget comb! If you have hair this big, you'd need a rake! Street artist Nuxono Xän added a humorous touch to this wall in Fort de France, Martinique. Photo by Rosali Rodriguez - via Street Art Utopia.

6 Disney Princesses' Secret to Beauty: Photoshop!

Alex

What? You think those Disney Princesses look fabulous without a little Photoshop help?

Jen Lewis of Buzzfeed showed us the cold, hard facts of the pervasive use of Photoshop in the unforgiving life of celebrities, where even fictional animated ones like Disney Princesses are under extreme pressure to look beautiful.

I suppose that a little Photoshop help isn't that big of a deal for Ariel (shown above). After all, didn't she undergo extreme surgery to get rid of that tail?

Here's a few more examples:

Jasmine: Covered Conjoined Head, Removed Sixth Finger

Cinderella: Removed Leno Chin, Tiny Hand, Tamed Sassy Eyebrow

Aurora: Flipped Upside Down Face

Belle: Fixed Lazy Eye

And Pocahontas, God bless her, is no longer Nick Cage:

Squirrel Uses Tail as Umbrella When it Snows

Alex

Now that's a multi-functional tail! This smart squirrel above found itself outside in a snowstorm, so it used its tail as an umbrella to protect itself against falling snow.

Photographer Ray Yeager of New Jersey submitted this cute photo to National Geographic's My Shot.


Bulletproof Taco Bell

Alex

You know you live in a tough neighborhood when the local fast food restaurant has bulletproof glass. Redditor TheSonofBillMurray pointed to this prime example of a Taco Bell in Inglewood, California, in which you can get your tacos handed to you through a plexiglass box.

But that's not the only fast food restaurants with bank-style bulletproof windows. A couple more examples:

Please Note: Cat Milk Does Not Come From Cats

Alex


via Imgur and Cheezburger

No, cat milk does not actually come from cats (could you imagine having to squeeze milk out of cats?) - but camel milk, reindeer milk and yak milk do come from those respective animals.

And while we're at it, baby oil doesn't come from baby either, mmkay?

According to Whiskas, the maker of Cat Milk, cats and kittens love to drink milk, but most of them actually cannot digest regular milk - so they have to drink lactose-free version.

Woolworths, Australia's "fresh food people," sure knows how to run a sale. Who can resist this amazing bargain? Indeed, why pay $10 for a BBQ chicken when you can pay a measly $9.88? That's a whopping 1.2% discount. Heck, with this kind of savings, the 84th chicken is free!
