Cake makes everything better, including apologies. Like this one above, for example. We can tell that the person is truly sorry for trying to sacrifice another humanbeing to Satan. How can we tell? They put extra sprinkles, of course.
Here are a few more fantastic photos of "I'm sorry" cakes making their rounds on the Web:

Portuguese designers Sebastião Teixeira and Cesária Martins love retro games and 8-bit visuals, so they decided to bring a little bit of that into today's fashion.
After a night of intense video gaming, the duo had a dream of sexy women in pixelated lingerie. The next day, they started designing the world's first 8-bit underwear: Pixel Panties, with the catchy slogan "made with squares, fit for round bottoms."
Indie seller Active Apparel created these parody designs of Disney princess and other characters that serve as exercise motivations. Include such gems as:
"Let's get down to business to defeat the buns" featuring Mulan (as you recall, in the movie, Mulan fought the Huns, led by the evil king Shan Yu)
"I only date beasts" featuring Belle from Beauty and the Beast
"Sweating Beauty" instead of Sleeping Beauty
"Forget glass slippers, this princess wears running shoes" featuring Cinderella
"Don't wish for it, work for it" featuring Ariel
Beast Mode, featuring Beast from Beauty and the Beast
When a barista asked Imgur imagineworlds and a friend what art they'd like on their hot drinks, they requested Dear Leader Kim Jong-il and Outstanding Leader Kim Jong-un to adorn the drinks.
Some things are just beyond help. A nameless husband left this desperate call for help at a local craft store, spelling "Help Me Wife Won't Leave" with letters used as wall decor. He is presumed lost forever.
Your hairdo is irrelephant! This hair stylist was tusked with a jumbo hairstyling project and the result is simply elephantastic! (What? You don't like elephant puns? Tusk tusk!)
Sometimes, you've just got to have that extra oomph to escape suburbia.
Redditor GingesBananaNut posted this photo to imgur of this gas station in Peachtree City, Georgia, "a small suburban city that's mostly home to retirement home and new families with babies," where 100 octane racing fuel is available side by side with regular gasoline at about $7.54 per gallon.
Racing fuel isn't ubiquitous but it's not impossible to find, either (there are about four dozen gas stations in California that carry it, according to this Google Map).
If crossing a street is like a life-and-death game of chicken, then perhaps you need this: "crosswalk flags" that pedestrians crossing a street in the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, can wave to make themselves more visible to drivers.
"These pedestrian flags are out of the box thinking," said Joseph Gaudett, Bridgeport police chief to WNPR, "We've provided small one-foot-by-one-foot flags that people can hold in thier hand to make traffic aware that they're out there, that they're coming, they'd like to cross."
The idea is that pedestrians would carry and wave the neon-colroed flags while crossing the street, then deposit the flag in a box on the opposite side for the next person.
At $500 total project costs, it's certainly cheaper than putting traffic lights, though the city acknowledged that theft is a problem (in fact, one flag has already been stolen). "When we talked to Salt Lake City [which initated a similar project back in 2000], they said that was probably the biggest issue with the flags," Gaudett said to WNPR. "They tend to walk away with the pedestrians. But it's a small amount to pay. If we can save one life by using these flags then it's absolutely worth it."

Living in the tropical paradise of Hawaii - with its glistening surfs and golden sands - is dream to many of us, but to some, it's a living nightmare.
But tourists visiting Honolulu probably didn't notice. Mayor Kirk Caldwell was recently lauded for cleaning up the problem at the beaches of Waikiki. "Police officers came up to me and said it looks much better," Caldwell said to Civil Beat, "Residents who live there came up to me and said, 'Mayor, what are you doing? It looks so much better.'"
But the reality is that the homeless are still homeless - they didn't find housing, but instead, they were being bounced from "sidewalk to sidewalk and park to park," as Nick Grube of Civil Beat reports:
A good night’s sleep in Waikiki is hard to come by for Roberta Huddy.
She became homeless about a year ago after losing her job as a guest services agent at one of the hotels.
Now Huddy, who was born and raised on Kauai, lives in a worn-down Ford Astro with her husband, Greg, on Kalakaua Avenue next to Kapiolani Park.
Their few belongings fill the vehicle from the passenger seat to the back hatch, blankets on the floor serving as a makeshift bed.
The van is also their getaway vehicle. It allows them to avoid police and city park crews who have ramped up their efforts to clear the homeless out of Waikiki.
Like many others who live on the streets, the Huddys are on the run.
“All they say is that we should move around,” Huddy complained while perched on the edge of her Astro. “At night I like to go up to Kapahulu because at least there I can sleep in peace.”
And as the name clearly suggests, the treatment involves setting yourself on fire. Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku reports that the fire therapy involves placing a "fire rope" made from some 20 different Chinese herbs on the victim's, er patient's body. After covering the rope with a plastic wrap, two wet towels are placed on top. Then, alcohol is poured on top of the towels and an attendant set the whole thing on fire!
Just to be safe, the attendant is nearby with a wet towel to extinguish the flame in case the patient feels that the fire is too hot.
The procedure could be used in various parts of the body:

Ghostbusters 3's Pulp Fiction moment
The whole thing probably got started when he thought, who ya gonna call to direct the long-awaited Ghostbusters 3 movie? When the answer is Quentin Tarantino, then we get this fantastic 1:44 animated video clip:
The New York State legislature has now made it legal for pet owners to be buried alongside their deceased animals in the state's pet cemeteries. The NY Daily News reported that the regulation was the culmination of a three year-long legal battle (previously on Neatorama) by the family of former NYPD officer Thomas Ryan, who wanted to be buried alongside his three Maltese dogs in the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery, 20 miles north of Manhattan.
The regulation may be new, but it just made official a long-standing tradition of the iconic 116-year-old pet cemetery. According to USA Today, there are about 75,000 animals and ashes of 700 pet owners buried at the Hartsdale cemetery.
As part of the regulation, while pet cemeteries can now accept burial of human ashes, they may not advertise human burial services.
