Seriously, how many of you can relate with this? I guess he knows the audience he's advertising his comedy downloads to.

She's In A Sticky Situation



Notice something weird about that doily? Well, that might be because it is a bit sticky, that's because it's made out of used chewing gum. Maybe it's just me, but I certainly wouldn't be so happy posing with it. As for how it's made:
A few months ago Helen Avagyan was sitting at her house, chewing gum, when she realized she could make something beautiful with the chewed pieces. She started rolling them into thin lines and then dipping them in cold water to freeze them and so they wouldn’t stick to her hands. “It takes me a lot of time to make the pieces because I have to chew all that gum first,” she says.

Well, at least it's her used chewing gum, I guess.

Drink Your Watermelon With Some Salt This Year



Japan has release watermelon sodas before, but this year, the newest flavor on the block is Salty Watermelon. Sounds risky to me, I've noticed people ever love watermelon with salt on it, or they think it's just plain disgusting. Being someone from the later group, I certainly wouldn't be a big fan of this new brew.

Alex recently shared the story of a light that was still going after 77 years, but if you think that's impressive, then behold the one above that's been going for 111. For more creations that have lasted amazingly long, check out this interesting Oddee article.

Kicking It Old School In Skyrim

MC Dovahkiin, a.k.a. Big Dragonborn, is so much more G than Lil' Wayne it's ridiculous. Of course, the best MC in this video is by far the shortie dressed as Aela.

Someone needs to install a urinal into his litter box to make this process even easier for the little guy.

Portal Gas Masks Help You Breathe Easier


DeviantArt user TwoHornsUnited based this cool gas mask design on the gun from the popular game. In case you were wondering, it doesn't actually work, but that certainly doesn't make it any less cool looking.

The Alien Chestburster Red Shirt Cake



I know the chestburster covered in blood is supposed to look horrifically disgusting, but given that it's cake, my mind automatically starts thinking about raspberry syrup and that just makes me hungry.

10 Hilarious Pictures of Animals in Clothing



Sure cats and dogs in costumes are pretty darn funny, but horses and geese? Now that's just plain "redonkeyless." That's why this Oddee article is just so darn fun.

Why Do Paper Cuts Hurt So Much?



We've all had them and wondered, "how the heck can this stupid thing hurt so darn much?" While you probably already know that most paper cuts occur on your finger tips and that they have more nerves than most other areas of your body, you've probably still wondered why a knife cut in the same spot seems to hurt less. Well, Mental Floss can help fill you in:
Well, the blade of even a fairly dull knife tends to be more straight and sharp than the dull and flexible edge of a piece of paper. When a knife cuts your skin, it leaves a relatively clean cut compared to paper, which will flex a little and do more microscopic damage to the skin.

There's more to the story, of course, but you'll have to visit the link to read about all of that.

The Hidden QR Pint Glass



Guinness created this brilliant QR code pint glass in a cool marketing effort. When you scan it, "it tweets about your pint, updates your facebook status, checks you in via 4 square, downloads coupons and promotions, invites your friends to join, and even launches exclusive Guiness content."

Wow, that's a lot of networking right there. What's even cooler is that when there's nothing in the glass, you can't see the code at all. When you add a light beer into the glass, you can't scan the code because the background isn't dark enough. But when you add Guinness (or another beer that dark), you can actually use the code.

Why Dogs Chase Car Bumpers


(Video Link)

Somewhere some sick person is training puppies everywhere that if they chase car bumpers, they'll get a delicious treat. I hope you're happy with yourself you monster.

Just joking, Maymo's owners are very loving and even have their own YouTube channel dedicated to her.

Ariel From The Little Mermaid As The Doctor



If you love Disney princesses and Doctor Who, then you'll definitely dig artist Lar deSouza's take on Ariel as Tom Baker's version of The Doctor. I particularly love seeing Flounder play the role of k-9. Unfortunately, deSouza says he isn't going to be turning it into a series as even the idea of doing all of the Doctors as princesses is exhausting to him. Well, maybe a little Neatorama love will get him to change his mind.
