This Burger Has Pizza for a Bun

We've seen burgers built inside of pizzas and burgers with pizza toppings, but at Los Angeles' new Meathead restaurant, you can instead get a burger with an actual pizza as the bun. While the burger in the picture has all kinds of fancy toppings on it like kimchi and bulgogi, you can get a pizza bun on just about any burger they serve, including more classic meat, cheese and pickle varieties or on monster ones topped with bacon and onion rings.

Every Ride in Disney's Magic Kingdom Ranked

Disney World is so huge it's impossible to ride all the rides in just one day (and that's only one of Disney's many parks in Orlando). If you want to plot out your best possible day at the park and don't already know which rides you like, you're in luck. Travel and Leisure ranked all the rides in Disney World for your convenience. Of course, like all ranked lists, I'm sure many people will disagree with their decisions. For example, while I've only been on the California equivalent of the rides, I just can't get behind the idea that Toy Story Mania! is anywhere near as good as Pirates of the Caribbean or The Haunted Mansion while they have it ranked as #5 compared to those two, which are #12 and #8, respectively.

So check out the full list of all 53 rides here.


Bacon Wrapped Fried Pop Tarts

Pop Tarts are a great snack, but there's no denying that they're just missing something to make them the perfect snack. Fortunately, Oh Bite It figured out exactly what they needed -bacon, deep frying and gooey, fresh frosting. 

The recipe is pretty simple -just wrap your Pop Tart in bacon, deep fry it and then add frosting and sprinkles. Check out the full details on their page.


Wearing Socks Changed This Pug's Life

Leia is a cute little 14 year-old pug, but like many senior citizens, she can't get around as easily as she used to. Unfortunately, her humans didn't realize that would be a problem when they tore out their old carpet and replaced it with hardwood flooring. 

Poor little Leia was slipping and wobbling around the house and she lost her confidence to get around. Her parents knew they had to do something, so they tried giving the little pug socks -and things totally turned around for her. 

While most dogs hate wearing socks, Leia took to them immediately. "She will stand on the living room rug and bark for me or cry, trying to get around if the socks aren't on," said owner Geroni-Lajoie.

You can see more pictures of Leia over at The Dodo.


20 Castles You Can Rent to Live Out Your Beauty and the Beast Fantasies

Thanks to sites like Airbnb and HomeAway, it's never been easier to rent a whole home rather than just a hotel room. And while most houses are just that, some people have much more grand properties available for rent -including whole castles. And HomeAway recently took the time to compile a fantastic list of 20 castles available for rent on the site. One of the castles is even less than $60 a night! Even many of the more expensive properties are still about the same price as many luxury hotels, like the beautiful French castle featured above that costs an average of $344 a night.

Don't miss the full list of romantic castles you can rent here.

Every Netflix Original Ranked

There's no denying that Netflix has had some pretty amazing original shows ranging from political dramas like House of Cards to absurd cartoons like Bojack Horseman. While everyone has their own personal tastes, it's always fun to rank things and that's what Collider did with this great list of every Netflix original series to date. Personally, I have to disagree with where they put Orange Is the New Black, which really dropped off over the last few seasons, but that's one of the best things about lists -the ability to disagree with them.

So check out the full list on Collider and feel free to debate their rankings in the comments here.


Comedian Ken Jeong Answers Important Medical Questions

(Video Link)

Ken Jeong is best known for his roles in The Hangover and Dr. Ken, but before he was famous, he was actually just a regular old doctor (although undoubtedly a funnier-than-average one). While he may not be a practicing M.D. these days, he still retains his medical knowledge and in this hilarious video, he answers burning medical questions on Twitter in entirely satisfying ways.

This Artist is the Fuzziest and Cuddliest Painter Around

Kenny Au knew that his husky was destined for greatness if he just knew how to acheive it -so he and his wife trained Hunter to paint. Well, to be more accurate, they trained their dog to paint after the super smart pup learned everything else it seemed possible to know.

They taught him how to make a simple head movement with a brush in his mouth and the rest, as they say, is history. Now little Hunter loves to paint and even looks at his owners with a longing look in his eyes when he wants to make a little art. 

According to Kenny, having a job like painting keeps Hunter calm -presumably stopping him from going on a destructive rampage like the dog with the caligraphy ink we featured earlier this week.

Hunter's art is now for sale on Etsy for $38.72 a pop and they can even be signed with a paw print stamp (since he doesn't like getting dirty even to sign his own creations). 

You can read more about Hunter on the Huffington Post or see more of his pictures on Instagram.


This Map Shows How Much Your State Loves Weed

Does your state love marijuana or think it's the devil's weed? Estately compiled a number of stats to figure out which states love the ganja the most. They took into account how many marijuana smokers there are per capita, how much interest the people express in marijuana, how often the locals search for information about weed on Google, and more. Unsurprisingly, Colorado came in first, followed by Washington and Oregon, but you might be surprised to know where the rest of the states rank -especially which states are at the bottom.

Three Companies That Offer Paid Time Off for New Puppy Owners

(Brown Puppy With Bone tee available on NeatoShop)

Adopting a new puppy is a wonderful, nightmarish experience, but it can be a lot more positive if you don't have to go to work every day and leave your pooch either outside, in a crate or with someone else. Just like a new baby, dogs need time to bond with their parents and that's why it pays to have a job that offers paid time off when you adopt a pup -and these three companies featured on Travel and Leisure offer just that (and a few even offer pet bereavement leave).


Visiting The Anza Borrego Super Bloom

California has record rainfall this year and as a result, the desert is full of flowers and the Anza Borrego Desert outside of San Diego even had more flowers than it had since 2005 -what's known as a super bloom.

Even the second you get out of your car you're hit with flowers everywhere.

They seem to grow in every color -pinks, reds, purples, greens, yellows, blues, whites and more!

And it was amazing how many flowers were growing on some of the plants.

Amazing and Surreal Pictures Taken by a Drone

Photographer Aydın Büyüktaş traveled the Western states of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and California. He then used two drones to take pictures and compiled multiple images to create a 3D creation with drafting software.

The artist doesn't say how many images it takes to create each final rendering in Photoshop, but one thing's for sure -the end result is amazing.

The Most Educated Place in Each State

Business Insider compiled this cool map that uses census data to determine the most educated place in each state. Their calculations are based on the percentage of adults over 25 with a bachelor's or higher degree.

Mental Floss readers noted some interesting details about the map, like the how many of the cities are on state borders and also how the cities seem to correlate with the most high-income parts of the states as well.

It's also interesting to see how drastically the numbers vary across the country. In North Dakota, for example, Fargo is the most educated city with 39% of adults having earned a bachelor's degree, whereas Lareda, California leads the country with an impressive 89.5%.

You can see a full-sized version of the map on Business Insider.


Tokyo's Newest Style of Cafe Offers a Nice Place to Nap

We all feel run down during our work day sometimes, but while most people lean towards a caffeinated beverage, sometimes the best way to refresh yourself is with a nap. Now a new Tokyo cafe concept is offering guests a chance to do just that with dim lighting and fancy reclining beds.

Visitors must order a food item to ensure a two-hour slot in the bed, which also includes a cup of decaf coffee for before bed and a caffeinated cup of Joe afterward.
