Most of these beds might not actually help you sleep any better, but they'll certainly spruce up an otherwise boring bedroom. In fact, while some of these are obviously intended to be kid's beds, I would love to convert them into queen-sized versions.

Personally, a tiny squirt of Sriracha is all I ever need, but for those that truly love the hot sauce, this spray bottle adaptation is a brilliant way to get your fix as fast as possible. Just don't use it as a weapon -John, I know you've been plotting revenge, but that's just not cool.

We've already featured a few videos from the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica, but when it comes to cute little baby critters like these, can you ever really get enough?

No, no one is really locking cats behind bars. Instead prisoners are being increasingly given the option to take care of cats:
For one jail in Nebraska, it was as simple as adopting a couple of cats to help the inmates while away the hours in a healthy manner. The inmates are solely responsible for the care of the cats. In an unusual and highly unlikely twist of fate, inmates are lining up for a turn at cat care, even if that means having to don hazmat gear to clean the litter box.
Of course, giving lonely men in prison the option to take care of some kitties does open the way for some raunchy jokes, but I'll leave those to your imaginations.

If you love LOL cats and Star Wars, then you'll love the resulting cross over by Etsy seller linedraw. Personally, my favorite is Admiral Catbar.
For all the websites showing pictures of yarn bombing, it still seems to be a pretty rare art form. In fact, I actually have only seen one in person. Even so, it's still pretty awesome, which is precisely why all of those yarn bomb photos are so fun to look at. Here's another great gallery featuring 51 fun works of knitted art.

Funny enough, this is exactly what I looked like before I took my nap this afternoon. I know that feel bro.

Admit it, if you're a scientifically-minded person, sometimes things the government does just drive you absolutely nuts. That's why this list of 10 science policies the government should start enforcing is so great. Here's one I think we can all agree on:
8. Every Study That Uses Public Funds is Published Publicly
This is as much to help scientists as to help everyone else. A lot of public money is spent on a lot of scientific studies. Those studies, if they are judged (often by people who volunteer their time) to be worthy of publication, are published in journals far less widely read than the people who do the work, or the people who need the work, would like. Scientific journal subscriptions can be massively expensive, and a barrier to people having the scientific information they, kind of, paid for.
Are there any they left off of the list that you think should be added?

Now that's one way to deal with an infestation. In case you were curious how things turned out, it turns out only one died so far, the rest turned back after taking in the scope of the challenge.

From a boiling, blood-red lake in Japan to a carbon-dioxide-filled lake in Africa, these 12 bodies of water are both absolutely stunning and fascinating. Of course, just because they're unique doesn't mean they're actually places you should go swimming -in fact many of them, including the two I just mentioned could outright kill you.

Admittedly, you probably won't want to watch all ten minutes of this video although it is undoubtedly adorable, it still is a long time to watch this little spider monkey munch on his dinner. In case you were wondering, this little guy isn't a pet, he was orphaned and is being cared for at the Arcas Wildlife Sanctuary in Guatemala.
