Scary Viking Teeth.

Alex

Caroline Arcini of Sweden's National Heritage Board discovered that:

Goat Cart.

Alex

From the website:

Nebraska Toy Stories showcased a selection of toys dating from the 1860s through the 1960s grouped by theme. Cars, trucks, planes, and baseball equipment featured prominently in a display of boys' traditional toys, while girls' favorites included dolls, tea sets, toy stoves, and cookware. Seasonal items were on display, too, with sleds and ice skates for winter and sand and water toys for summer.

Roadkill Gourmet Cuisine.

Alex

Arthur Boyt is writing a recipe book for roadkill.

"It's good meat for free and I know nobody has been messing with it and feeding it with hormones and growth accelerants and so on. It's just natural, fully organic meat."

Some of his more unusual meals have included a greater horseshoe bat and otter. He regularly eats badger, rabbit, deer, weasel, hedgehog, squirrel and fox.

"I've lived off roadkill for the last 30 years or so. It adds to the pleasure of a meal to know I haven't paid for it," said Mr Boyt, whose wife Su is a vegetarian.

Hm, I guess it's obvious why his wife is a vegetarian!

14's Britney and Cheetos.

Alex

From her website:

Look, I realize this is pandering to the lowest common denominator of cesspool gossip, but my mission is to illustrate gossip...and so I do what I must. My inspiration comes from the fact Britney Spears and Cheetos have become so synonymous that one term is rarely mentioned without the other.

Tailgate Jesus.

Alex

From the website:

Believers say the face of Jesus is visible in the dirt on the tailgate.

The truck's owner, Julio Radillo, said he isn't going to drive this truck for a while. And when he does, he'll remove the tailgate as a memento.

Pups as Drug Smuggling Mules.

Alex

Tired of using humans as mules, drug smugglers now use labrador retrievers:

In the case of the puppies found during the 2005 raid, the dogs' bellies had been cut open, and heroin packets were stitched into their stomachs, Payne said. The pups, mostly purebred Labrador retrievers, were sewn back up and prepared for shipment to the United States, he added.
