Donna-Marie Lever of ONE News reports that the kite was made by hand in just two months. "Hollywood sent them a toy. The task: to transform him into an 18-meter monster in the sky ... There's no computer, no flash technology - just a steady hand and a scientific mind to pull off the contract of a lifetime. Each kite is worth $5 grand."
From the Department of Unnecessary Caution Signs, here comes a warning from a dry cleaner's wire hanger that implores customers not to swallow its clothes hangers.
What grate skeleton ribs! This cheeky stencil graffiti in Paris features a full human skeleton with sewer grates as ribs. No information as to the street artist who created it, though it has inspired other artwork, like this one ice skeleton made by street artist Cemulucan:

Got something to tell your parents that may upset them? You should try telling them at your school's graduation because, one, they're in a good mood and two, they're in public. Like this cheeky high school graduate's mortarboard that said, "BTW Mom, I have a tattoo"

"Welcome to the underbelly of ping-pong where fortunes are won and lost. I'm exagerrating, of course, but you get my point," said ping pong guru and noodle shop owner Master Wong in the best ping-pong film of all times*, Balls of Fury (2007)
*probably by default, I can't think of another ping pong movie.
Graphic designer by day and doodler by night Alyssa Duhe is also a connoisseur of punny pick up lines. And thanks to her Tumblr A Daily Pickup Line, in which she illustrates some of the worlds corniest (read: best) pickup lines, we get to enjoy them as well.
Here are a few of my favorite science-based pickup lines:
Why drive your car when you AND your car can take the bus? REUTERS photographer Jorge Silva took this photo above of buses loaded up with car(go) in Kandahar, Afghanistan back in May 2009.

It seems to be a routine affair for Afghan travelers to load up their cars on top of buses. This one above is another example taken in Maidan Shahr, Wardak Province, Afghanistan.
I wonder how they got those cars up there ... and how they'll take them back down.
Like Jar Jar Binks said himself, "Mesa day startin pretty okee-day with a brisky morning munchy, then BOOM!" Singaporean artist Kai Lim (ukitakumuki on deviantArt) got Jar Jar what's comin' to him, via a powerful elbow to the face delivered by a Stim Armor, in this illustration for Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card.
Check out the rest of Lim's fantastic artwork over at his deviantArt page.
Redditor loblawlawblog snapped this funny bar sign outside The Nook in Austin, Texas, on how to twerk. Step 1: Reconsider. There is no step 2, by the way.
You know what they say, forbidden fruit never tasted so ... photogenic? Artist Kyle Bean (previously on Neatorama) collaborated with photographer Aaron Tilley and stylist David Bradley to create this tongue-in-cheek series of forbidden fruit for The Gourmand.
Graphic designer and illustrator Jaco Haasbroek perfectly captured the essence of being a kid in this clever image. So, do you see the "kid" in the image above? Hint: the "i" in the "kid" is the eye.
So that's why they're so happy when you come home! They're just glad that you're alive (to feed them)! Conrad over at Shoebox Blog illustrated what your dogs are like all day, every day when you're away. Of course, Skeeter is the instigator because, you know, corgis are sooo paranoid.
Unless you're a five-year-old like my youngest daughter who loves her oh-so-stylish Raskullz Unicorn Helmet, or you're a guy with ample sense of humor and love wearing the Bald Head Helmet, there's just not that many fashionable choices between keeping safe and looking stylish.
Thankfully, Dr. Cheryl Allen-Munley may have the solution. Allen-Munley is a bicycle enthusiast and former Director of Transportation in Jersey City who wrote a dissertation on bike safety. She's turned her knowledge into Bandbox, a stylish line of bike helmet that looks like fashionable hats.
Bandbox helmets aren't only fashionable, they're comfy and super-safe, too. "I designed it to actually mimic the shape of the human head - basically my head," Allen-Munley said to Coolhunting, "Styrofoam—which most helmets are made out of—is not as impact-resistant as elastomeric foam, which is what we use."
After the thermoplastic shells are molded and the foam is molded, Allen-Munley assembles that hat part herself. Her skill as a milliner truly shows when women inquire about the hats at outdoor fairs, not realizing that they are actually bike helmets.
