5 Great Love Stories That Actually Kind of Suck



Bonnie & Clyde, Napoleon & Josephine and Louis XV & Madame de Pompadour...they're all great love stories -on paper at least. But when you actually learn the whole story for all of these romances, they're a lot less sweet.

A Valentine for My Zelda



If she could just stop getting kidnapped, Link would finally be able to give her his heart, but I doubt that's ever going to happen. Oh well, we can still appreciate the card, created by Adam Bing, even if Zelda herself will never get it.

Pee Wee's Playhouse in Amigurumi



The Pee Wee's Playhouse set was pretty cute already, but when handcrafted at home, it's downright adorable. Better still, you can even have your own version at home and this Jambi even comes with an interchangeable screen.

I Would Watch Puppy Conan Every Night

Sure, Conan O'Brien is funny, but a puppy with his iconic hair, now that's must-see TV right there! Of course, they would have to switch up guest stars pretty regularly. Puppy Justin Bieber is cute, but I'd like to see puppy Zooey Deschanel. -via Buzzfeed

A Doctor Who Valentine's Day Card

10 More Things You Don't Know About Sex

It was only a week or so ago that Miss C posted a link to Oddee's 10 Things You Probably Don't Know About Sex, but as it turns out, there is plenty more information you might be missing out on. That's why io9 was able to post a similar article with almost the exact same title with almost no crossover between the two. Here's some more info you might not know that the "seven year itch" is real:
If you're measuring by way of divorce, the myth of the seven year itch may not be a myth after all; according to the 2009 U.S. Census Bureau, the median duration of first marriages that end in divorce is 7.9 years.

Like the Oddee one, there are no naughty pictures, but it still might be something you won't want to read at work.

Getting To Know The Actors Who Played The Doctor

You might know all about the show, but what do you know of the men who played the Doctor? If you want to increase your knowledge of the subject, then don't miss this great Mental Floss article filled with fascinating trivia on the actors and the show. Personally, I didn't know the story of how Tom Baker's scarf was born:
The Fourth Doctor is particularly famous for his ridiculously long scarf, which resulted from a miscommunication between costume designer James Acheson and the knitter hired to produce it; Acheson never specified a length, and bought far too much yarn, so the knitter just kept going until it was all used up.
Any of you Whovians learn something new from the article?

The Math Teacher From Hell



Ok, maybe not hell per se, but Silent Hill is pretty darn close. Anyway, I sure wouldn't want to learn anything from Pyramid Head. Who knows what he would do when you get a wrong answer?

If you've played Skyrim, then you'll not only appreciate the song and video, but you'll also realize how much work they had to put in to fill all those rooms with mead bottles at the end of the video.

A Bathtub Made of Books



Sure it seems like a conceptual idea that would never work in real life, but this bathtub is actually completely functional, not to mention totally awesome -or at least, it would be if the creator actually finished the project. BoingBoing is trying to track down leads to find out if it was ever completed or not. If you have any information, share your knowledge in their comments section.
