We've posted our share of artery clogging-fair foods before, including the deep-fried Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich, but now KFC's giving them all a run for their money. This heart attack-waiting-to-happen is called the Double Down Sandwich and it's made of two deep fried chicken breasts used as bread for a bacon and cheese sandwich. It's apparently only available in limited areas, so I'm wondering, have any of you Neatorama readers tried it and lived to tell the tale? For those of you who haven't, would you try this delicious, bacony, deathwich?

WebUrbanist has a great collection of 15 neat school buses turned into artwork. My favorite is the one seen above based on the catbus seen in the anime movie My Neighbor Totoro. This cool art car was one of the many seen at Burning Man 2002.

If you wondered how people actually made some of the cakes in the Threadcakes contest, previously featured on Neatorama, then you'll love this time-lapse video of a Threadless tee shirt being made into a cake. The process is so detailed and so fascinating.

If you love MJ and kid's toys, then you're certain to love this great Etch-A-Sketch artwork of him created by artist George Vlosich III. It took over 150 hours to complete. Now that's some dedicated etching. He also has some great ones of the president and other celebrities on his site.

Looking for something delicious and creepy? Try these fantastic brain cupcakes. The flavor sounds blissful, combining chocolate brains, raspberry cake and cream cheese frosting. If only they posted the recipe.

Better Business Bureau employee Kelvin Collins wanted to learn more about diploma mills and make a point about their uselessness, so he helped his cat Oreo receive a high school diploma from a diploma mill high school.

"Oreo's a really smart cat... She keeps up with current events," said Collins.

Apparently, Collins hardly even lied on the application.

"I did lie about one thing. You have to be 18 to take the test and Oreo is only two, but that could be 18 in cat years. Who knows?" he said.

New research has revealed that dogs are as intelligent as two year old children. The study pointed to border collies being the smartest breed, followed by poodles. Interestingly, the average dog also seems to have the social skills of teenage humans.

On average dogs can learn approximately 165 words. The more intelligent dogs can acquire a vocabulary awareness of around 250 words. In math skills, dogs are aware of numerical differences up to five digits and can calculate the difference.

All you science-lovers on Neatorama should appreciate this great sweater featuring the Periodic Table of Elements. The sleeves feature fungi and bacteria names. The creator made it for her husband, a microbiologist working in the pharmaceutical industry.

This musical kettle is designed by Naoki Kawamoto in an effort to "redesign soundscape." It will play your favorite tune when things get heated up and begin boiling.

This pony is an American miniature horse born with a dwarfism gene. For reference, there's another picture of little Koda compared to a normal horse on the website. He goes to about the knees of the stallion. I couldn't resist posing this image with the huge eyes though.

Koda is so small that he is often mistaken for a battery-operated soft toy.

Standing at 59cm tall, if Koda the horse wants an equal he has to turn to the vetinary cat for company.

This mini documentary has a great bit of info about the Moscow Cat Theater. Apparently shows like this are fairly common in Russia although we certainly have nothing in the states like this, at least not with cats. It's easy to think the cats are unhappy if you saw them outside of the film, but seeing them with their owners, you can see there's a lot of love there.

Update: For those of you who can't watch Hulu, coconutnut has found the video on YouTube. Thanks Coconutnut!

Heart-Kun is an adorable dog with a heart marking on his side. He's a minor internet celebrity and was even featured on the post we recently linked to featuring animals with heart markings. His parents recently gave birth to a new litter, including little Love-Kun who also has a heart marking. Now that is one special family.

Flickr user Glitch Vixen got a tattoo of an embroidery her grandmother had made in high school. The result is undeniably beautiful and well-executed.

Lemondrop has a collection of 20 weddings with a unique themes. The one above is one of the most unique, a scuba diving wedding. I wonder if all the bridesmaids or groomsmen already had scuba certification or if they had to get it just for the ceremony.
