Wedding cakes are nice and all, but they're not burgers. So when this couple wed, they decided to skip the sweets and go straight for the savory with this four-tiered wedding cake made out of burgers! Mmm... burgers ...

Can't argue with that! This Sonic Drive-In fast food restaurant in Texas goes straight for the jugular (or is it stomach?) with this gem of a poem: "Roses are red / so is ketchup / Have a corndog."

Move over, paintball! There's a new game in town and it's straight out of the "Hunger Games." Well, except that nobody dies and it looks like a lot of fun. Behold, archery tag, which is like dodgeball but with bows and arrows.
"The cool new weapon in media is a bow and arrow," said marketing consultant Peter Fermoselle to Stacey Anderson of The New York Times, "It's old fashioned. It brings a little more nobility to shooting someone."
Archery tag was invented by John Jackson of Instinct Archery, and the new sports was helped by the popularity of archery in pop culture phenomenons The Hunger Games and The Walking Dead. The game is similar to dodgeball: two teams of players scramble to collect arrows at the center of the arena, then proceed to shoot at each other from across the field with the foam-tipped arrows. A player is disqualified when hit by an arrow).
It certainly looks like fun! Check out the video clip below:

Build in the 19th century, Chapel Torre Giona is a stunning neo-romantic building that used to serve the Roman Catholic Church as the place of worship of the Collegi de Monges de l'Ascenció school of monks, but no longer.
Now, though the power within the former church is not ecclesiastical, it is no less fascinating: Chapel Torre Giona now houses one of the world's fastest supercomputers.
Meet MareNostrum (Latin for "Our Sea"), one of seven supercomputers in the Spanish Supercomputing Network and arguably the most architecturally beautiful. Set inside the chapel, the raw power of modern technology stand side by side with ancient collonades, Romanesque arches and ornately carved wooden doors.

All sold out! You can't compete with a pinniped when it comes to selling fish at a local fishmarket. After all, it knows how to "seal" the deal!
Once you reach the mountain top guru, what question would you ask him besides how to reset your router password?
Our pal Dan Piraro of Bizarro loves to use the mountaintop guru motif for "exploring the truths of human society," and this one nails it for all the anti-social Internet-addicted hermits out there.
I suppose another downside of being a such a technologically advanced guru is that you probably get asked often how to achieve the enlightened state of being connected to the Wi-Fi.
By the way, this Bizarro panel reminds me of the Internet Dream shirt from the NeatoShop!
Good news: You've got a super power just like the X-Men! Bad news: The super power you've got are of the kind drawn by Lee Gatlin here in his fantastic series D-List X-Men - via Pleated Jeans
I have to say, being the Magneto of condiment ain't half bad. Ain't half bad at all!
If you could have a (completely useless) super power, what would that be?

We wonder what Master Builder made this: Double Decker couch, like the one featured on The LEGO Movie:
Yes, you've probably seen it already: the double decker couch hails back from 2011, way before the LEGO Movie became reality.

Cavity Mechanism #14 w/ Glass Dome (2014)
San Francisco-based artist Dan Grayber specializes in creating mechanical objects that are intricately designed for one thing and one thing only: "to compensate for the complications created by its own existence," which in this case is to hold themselves up.
And hold themselves up gracefully is exactly what they did. Take a look:
Cavity Mechanism #12
with Glass Dome (2013)
Grayber described the pieces as "counterweight driven mechanism that wedges itself into the side of a cavity (the glass dome in this case), suspending itself.

It was a different world then! This LIFE Magazine pictorial from July 18, 1938 is titled "Men Now Bathe Without Tops On Many Public Beaches":
In Europe and on the West Coast topless bathing for men has long been no novelty on public as well as private beaches. But in the more inhibited East a male costume consisting solely of trunks was, until just recently, cause for arrest on almost all public beaches and raised eyebrows on many a private one.
At Atlantic City topless bathing suits are still forbidden, and only this year has Long Island's ultrademocratic Long Beach allowed men to air their backs and chests. This trend which originated on the French Riviera has seriously distressed manufacturers who claim there is little field for originality of design in trunks. For proof of their contention, see Long Beach pictures below.
Genetic engineering has gone too far! Just kidding - redditor sicknickmondo found this strawberry that looks just like a butterfly.
