I don't know about you guys, but I love photos that incorporate long exposure techniques, although I don't have nearly enough patience to ever try them on my own. That being said, WebUrbanist has an awesome collection of some seriously stunning long exposure images that are definitely worth a click.

The only certain things in life are death and taxes, and since taxes will never be fun, you might as well try to make your death into something a little entertaining. While most people are laid to rest in a coffin, buried in an urn, or scattered somewhere memorable, there are plenty of other options for your remains. Here are a few of the most unique things you can choose to do with your ashes.

Incorporate Them Into Bullets

A true hunter shouldn’t let death stop them from killing more animals. Fortunately, a new company named Holy Smoke is making efforts to ensure the last remnants of your physical remains can still be used to hunt down your favorite prey by incorporating your ashes into hollow-point bullets or shotgun shells. While it’s not among the suggested uses, you could also hire a hitman to use these bullets to take out your most-hated enemy, ensuring even death can’t stop you from exacting your revenge.

Press Them Into Your Favorite Record

For those people who live and breathe music, there’s no better way to be remembered than to actually become part of their favorite album. And Vinyl will allow you to press your ashes into any record you want, including your own original album. They’ll even write a song for you for an additional fee. As a bonus, you can also have your ashes incorporated into a painting that will be used as the album cover. Now that’s a rocking way to go.

Tattoo Them Into Someone’s Skin

Face it, most of us would sooner throw away bird feathers before we ever considered using them for an art project. Fortunately, artist Ian Davey is not like the rest of us and he has taken to using swan feathers as canvases for his lovely paintings. The results are simply stunning, as you can see by exploring the gallery at the link.

Projects like this make me wish I was a better artist, but alas, I think the best hand-painted design I'd be able to come up with would be a smiley face. Oh well, at least us non-artist types can still appreciate looking at these awesome hand-painted Street Fighter shoes.

Now that the Arrested Development movie is official, it's time to start thinking of a poster design. While they could go with some serious designs, I think these funny ones on BuzzFeed would be a lot more appropriate.

A kitty in the UK was hit by a car and brought to an animal shelter, but released to the area she was found shortly after, since vets realized she had just had a litter of kittens. Right after she was released, she started howling and the person who brought her back followed her to her litter of kittens, who were severely dehydrated. Thanks to the cat's quick thinking and the attentiveness of the RSPCA inspector, her kittens were saved and the whole family made a speedy recovery.

Gentlemen, sometimes it takes a woman's perspective to make these things clear, so here goes: we do not find the smell of fat electricians sexy. Maybe some wives of fat electricians do, but probably not even all of them do. The rest of the colognes and perfumes on this Mental Floss list are pretty much the same.

Some of the most popular Halloween costumes are monsters and flappers, so if you are a female that already is a monster, a flapper is a natural costume choice. Artist Jeffery Thomas has a great collection of a variety of monster gals glammed up as flappers and the artwork is simply fantastic.
