Sure, some people might not feel comfortable bathing out in the open, but for those who dare to bare their bare skin, the reward can be very, very worth it.

If you dream of a bath with an unbeatable panorama, you won't want to miss this great Travel and Leisure article with 19 bath tubs with incredible vews.


This Chrome Extension Turns Any Picture of Trump Into A Kitten

I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't be more tired of hearing about Trump and everything else related to the post-election nightmare. One thing that can help ease the pain caused by politics is a picture of a cute kitty. That's why we love Make America Kittens Again, a Chrome extension replaces pictures from articles with the word "Trump" in the headline to show kitty pictures. 

Personally, I'd rather have one that includes the words "election, Clinton, Kanye, Kardashians or Taylor Swift" all be replaced with kitty pictures, but I'll take what I can get. You can download the extension here.

This Harry Potter Christmas Party is Truly Magical

The team at Epbot is quite crafty and also incredibly nerdy, so it's hardly surprising that when they throw a themed Christmas party, they go all out. This year they opted to do a Harry Potter-themed party and the results are amazing.

Every detail, from the food to the trees and the doorway to the lighting is perfectly magical and an incredible blend of Christmas and Harry Potter fun. You can see pictures of the setup over at Epbot.

Fun Things You Might Not Know About Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain is the loud, foul-mouthed chef you either love or love-to-hate, but did you know he was a published mystery novelist long before he wrote Kitchen Confidential? Or that writing runs in his blood as his mother was a copy editor at the New York Times

Of course, it's not his writing that really made Bourdain what he is -it's his abrassive, aggressive personality and in that way, it's hardly surprising that he once considered it a fireable offense to listen to or even enjoy Billy Joel in his presence.

A Look Inside Hollywood's Will Ferrell-Themed Bar

Just in time for your yearly Elf viewing, a pop-up bar in Hollywood opened up to sell delicious, Will Ferrell-inspired drinks. Whether you prefer Elf, Semi-Pro, Step Brothers or any other Ferrell film, you're sure to find something to make you laugh at Stay Classy.

Given that so many of the jokes are based on Anchorman, I think it would fit in better in San Diego, but maybe that just makes me a smelly pirate hooker.

The pop-up bar is only open through December 15, so if you live in the area and want to get your Ferrell on, be sure to stop by soon. And if you don't live in the area, you can at least visit vicariously through these LAist pictures.


White Elephant Gifts That Are So Bad, You Kind of Have to Buy Them

From Nic Cage prayer candles to Christmas-themed TP, the list is full of great terrible ideas, so whether you need to buy an intentionall bad gift or just want a laugh, be sure to head to the Huffington Post.


Nordstrom Wants to Sell You An $85 Rock

Looking to blow money on something utterly useless? Then head to Nordstroms where you can get your hands on this great $85 rock that at least comes with a classy leather pouch. It's as though the store itself doesn't know why you would buy it, since their description doesn't even know what the purpose of the stupid thing is, "A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It's up to you."

Just like many absurd Amazon products, the item is being lampooned on the reviews in Nordstrom's shop. Unfortunately, it seems Nordstrom doesn't have as good of a sense of humor because the item has since been pulled and they also seem to have removed all the reviews. While the small rock version was also removed from the store, the reviews are at least still there.

You've Never Seen Disney Babes Like This

Instagram Metalslimer isn't afraid to cosplay male and female characters -only unlike most people who chose to do that, he is anything but androgynous. But that's precisely what makes his female cosplays so memorable -especially those Disney babes.

While his Jessica Rabbit is hilarious, the fact that his Belle cosplay looks like Gaston snuck into her wardrobe and got a little crazy. 

You can check out his other crazy, hilarious cosplays at his Instagram

Even More Amazing Facts That Sound Totally Bogus

Just last month we linked to a Today I Found Out article featuring 10 facts that sound completely unbelievable, but since then, they've posted two more articles with that very same theme -so now you can learn 20 more unbelievable but true facts. For example, did you know the biggest earthquake ever recorded hit 23 on the Richter Scale? Fortunately, no cities were destroyed because this earthquake was recorded by NASA and took place on a star millions of lightyears away.

Also strange, Saudi Arabia imports camels from Australia for food -the local camels there are raised exclusively for racing and domestic purposes. And did you know that the people who voiced Mickey and Minnie Mouse were actually married in real life.

Learn all kinds of fun facts on Today I Found Out in this article and this one.

They had their photographer friend Elisha Minnette take typical, cheesy baby photos with them and their precious new puppy.

Fun Facts About Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Can you believe that Robin Hood: Men in Tights is over twenty years old? If you agree that this is one of, if not the absolute, best Robin Hood movies ever created, you won't want to miss this collection of great trivia about the film. For example, did you know that Mel Brooks had already worked on a Robin Hood tv series back in the seventies? Or that Sean Connery was originally going to be King Richard and was going to play him in drag, but that he wanted too much money for the role?

Watch These Two Dachshunds Play Golf on a Lazy Sunday

(Video Link)

Personally, I can't stand golf -both playing it and watching it. But I could watch Crusoe and Oakley hit the links all day in these dapper outfits. Sadly, they not only look better playing than I do, I think they're better at golf than I am. Then again, I'm pretty sure they're violating some rules of play there by chasing and catching the balls.
