Etsy seller ToScarboroughFair makes utterly adorable hats for kittens, but I think the truly amazing thing about her shop isn't her extensive collection of fashions, but how great her model is. Visit her shop for more delightful images and inspired hats.

TARDIC: Time And Relative Dimension In Cats



This is not only an awesome TARDIS replica, it's also one of the geekiest kitty playhouses you'll ever see. And I'm sure that as far as kittens are concerned, it's far bigger on the inside than on the outside.

I've always fancied myself a pretty good Tetris player, but even at my prime I don't think I could make art with the blocks while playing the game. This takes some major skills.

Did Early Americans Have A British Accent?

Have you ever wondered if George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Hancock and the rest of the Founding Fathers spoke with a British accent? It would make sense, after all, they were originally members of the English colonies.

As it turns out though, Americans these days speak with an accent closer to the British of that time than modern English people do. While dialects vary throughout both countries, the accents in England have changed a lot more than they have in America. Read more about it at the link.

Do Zombies and Vampires Vote?



While I always though vampires were kind of cool, I find zombies to be a lot scarier. As it turns out, it might just be because I'm a bit liberal. According to this graph, more zombie stories are released when Republicans are in office and more vampire tales come out when Democrats are in power. If you're wondering why one political viewpoint would fear either creature more than the other, then this Cracked article can fill you in on the psychological aspects.

No one wants to come out of a lake or river covered in leeches and if your doctor pulls them out, you probably ought to run away as fast as you can...that is, unless you have arthritis. As it turns out, they can be particularly useful in those cases:

I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to do with a stranger is rub feet together. Apparently some people want to though or else there wouldn't be any competitors in the World Toe Wrestling Championship.

Dan Meth, the same artist who told us what prescriptions our favorite Pooh characters needed, has recently put together this graph of the relative intelligence of all the characters on Cheers. I personally agree with his assessment, what do you guys think?

We've all heard of underground societies, but rarely is the term used in such a literal manner as these amazing underground cities featured on Dornob.
Cities, empires and religions have risen and fallen around these unique underground havens once used by early Christians to hide from Roman armies, yet they remains occupied to this day – 100 square miles with 200+ underground villages and tunnel towns complete with hidden passages, secret rooms and ancient temples and a remarkably storied history of each new civilization building on the work of the last.

The 8 Most Amazing Make-A-Wish Foundation Wishes



The Make-A-Wish Foundation has granted some pretty amazing dreams during their existence, but naturally, some of those wishes are most certainly more incredible than others. Cracked has a fantastic list of some of the most awesome wishes the group has ever granted. Take, for example, Eric's wish to become a superhero:
Spider-Man called asking for his help. Spidey alerted Erik that the dreaded Dr. Dark and Blackout Boy, a new supervillain duo (played by Edgar Hansen and Jake Anderson from The Deadliest Catch), were terrorizing the people of Seattle. They'd captured the Seattle Sounders MLS team and were holding them hostage in their own locker room. Spider-Man explained that he was busy, and he knew that Erik was really just the secret identity of the superhero Electron Boy, so he begged Eric for his help in saving the day...
