Amamanta Family is a set of anatomically correct dolls.

From the website:

"Parents can use Amamanta anatomically-correct dolls as a sex education tool to help prevent or reduce the incidence of sexual molestation or abuse. Dolls come complete with underwear, clothes and shoes.

Amamanta family cloth dolls are soft and cuddly and consist of a mother, father, son, daughter and newborn baby. This newborn baby can be placed in the mother’s belly and pulled out of the mothers womb to demonstrate birthing to the child."

"I was 16, I looked like a hippie, I wasn't into Judaism. I was into music, reggae, Bob Marley, girls. My parents wanted me to travel. They signed me up for this three-month program and paid for it, and that's how I got to the Alexander Muss High School in Hod Hasharon."

So Matt Miller became Matisyahu Miller, the world's first and most successful ultra-Orthodox Jew reggae singer.

His lyrics?

"Me no want no sinsemilla.
That would only bring me down
Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound
Elevated my soul you're a flying my sound
Like the sun of a sun ray burning up through a cloud
Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown
Thunder!
Let the blessings come down."

Grandmaster Tu Jin-Sheng, best known for his unique style of martial arts of Iron Crotch (I kid you not), attached himself (guess where) to a moving truck and pulled it (using you know what!).

For warm up, an assistant kicked him hard between the legs before he tied himself to the truck.

I'm thankful that my neighbors don't put up a light show like Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio.

By the way, the music is Wizards of Winter, by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It's synched with the 16,000 lights using Light-O-Rama sequencer.

Why is there a picture of panties on neatorama? Why, there isn't actually - you're seeing are manties.

What are manties? Panties for men. For real. Link

Charlie and His Orchestra is a Nazi big band assembled by Hitler's minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels.

From the website:

"Leave it to Goebbels to take the music of The Andrews Sisters, Paul Whiteman and Irving Berlin and fill it with venomous rants against Jews, America and the British. The man took his propaganda seriously. But at least he admitted it was propaganda, unlike the current crop of spin-meisters."

If you've ever wondered what Nazi swing music is like, here it is: Link

Patricia Simonet, an animal behaviorist at the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service in Washington found that the long, loud pant is the sound of dog laughing.

This dog laugh can affect other dogs:

"When they played the sound of a dog panting over the loudspeaker, the gaggle of dogs at the shelter kept right on barking. But when they played the dog version of laughing, all 15 barking dogs went quiet within about a minute."

Francis Heaney asked a simple question: what would happen if poets and playwrights wrote works whose titles were anagrams of their names?

The result: Holy Tango Anthology of Literature. Here's one of his gems:

IS A SPERM LIKE A WHALE?
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Shall I compare thee to a sperm whale, sperm?
Thou art more tiny and more resolute:
Rough tides may sway a sea-bound endotherm,
But naught diverts thy uterine commute.
Sometime too fierce the eye of squid may glint
And make a stout cetacean hunter quail;
Methinks ’twould take much more than bilious squint
To shake thee off the cunning ovum’s trail.
Yet still thou art not so unlike, thou two,
Both coursing through a dark uncharted brine
While fore and aft there swims thy fellow crew;
And note this echo, little gamete mine:
As whales spray salty water from their spout,
So with a salty spray dost thou come out.
