I found this image on Totally Gourmet, but the origins of the photo remain mysterious. It looks straightforward enough: dump at least a dozen eggs into a bundt pan and bake them into a gelatinous ring of eggs. Although it's too late to do this for Easter, there are later opportunities to surprise guests with this innovate recipe that seems to frighten faint-hearted people of the Internet.

Like a dark cloud of tangible suffering, prom season has descended upon high schoolers the United States. Prepare yourself accordingly by making a corsage with the help of Red Lobster. That restaurant chain is famous for its signature Cheddar Bay Biscuits, which can become corsages and boutonniere in a pinch.

This video shows you how. Consider yourself warned.

Veermaster Berlin's Instagram page is worth a long scroll through. His cocktails are visually stunning masterpieces. Each one is a carefully presented work of art.

I'm especially taken with this cocktail made with Highclere Castle Gin. Highclere Castle is the magnificent home where the exterior scenes for Downton Abbey were shot. Here's the recipe:

Highclere Castle Gin

Homemade Red Chili infused Yuzu Marmalade and Kafir Lime Leaves Syrup

Elderflower Vanilla Cordial

Dry Vermouth

Sakura Bitter

Egg White

The garnish consists of herbs, forget-me-not flowers, chili powder, and a sheet of gold.

Because not all women throughout time have had access to Buzzfeed, cartoonist Gemma Correll has helpfully illustrates the demands that past societies have imposed upon women.

Coincidentally, as I wrote this post, my 12-year old daughter passed by and asked me to define a variety of terms on it, including hysteria, lobotomies, and aspic. It was a difficult conversation, but I'm glad that Correll gave me the opportunity to talk about the dangers of jello salads. That era, thankfully, has passed from our time.

Fish can be convenient pets, particularly if you are absent from home for long hours. But you may miss out on fun activities with them, such as going on walks. Fish have notoriously low endurance for strolls through the neighborhood.

The Katsugyo Bag may change that. It appears to be a a pressurized water tank with a port on one end. The only information that I can find in English is second-hand, so we will have to wait for details about this invention will change human-fish relations.

This brilliant woman is the next Martha Stewart. Watch as Anna of The Anna Show mixes ice, candy, and sherbet into a toilet bowl and then puts several flavored sodas into the empty tank in the back. When she flushes the toilet, the ingredients form the perfect party drink (well, absent alcohol) in an eye-catching serving bowl. I want to try this trick at home, but to modify it to create an enormous root beer float.

In northern Scandinavia, cups of coffee get enhanced with cheese. https://t.co/zxtwubmm5P

Atlas Obscura introduces us to kaffeost, which is a traditional drink from the Sami people of northern Scandinavia. Place a cube of juustoleipä, which is a type of cheese often made from reindeer milk, into the bottom of a wooden mug. Pour in coffee, which melts the cheese. Drink the mixture or use a spoon to scoop the cheesy mixture into your mouth.

It's over seven feet tall, so it would stand out in your office or living room, even if it wasn't a life-size zebra silently playing one of the largest instruments in a brass band.

Andre Robolobavich (I gather that he also goes by the name Rob Hudson--it's a bit confusing) is a British taxidermist of great skill and imagination. Much of his work is for sale at Chiswick Auctions. They often share a common theme: animals making music. These once-living sculptures are wonderfully unsettling.

As you sojourn through the fifty states of the union, where shall you stop for pizza? Pizza styles are a personal preference. There are some that I find generally unpalatable, but David Landsel of Food & Wine has done his best to accommodate different tastes in his catalog of the best pizza in each state.

Pictured above is a lobster-topped pizza from Via 313, which Landsel says is the best in Texas. Here, he has made a common geographic error. Via 313 isn't in Texas--it's in Austin.

The Barcelona-based digital design studio Six N. Five worked with industrial designer Arthur de Menenzes to take three common computer error messages, such as the Blue Screen of Death, and turn them into chairs. I'd hesitate to use one as a computer desk chair, lest I jinx my computer.

With a wingspan of 385 feet, the Roc (named for the legendary gigantic birds) can carry up to 275 tons of cargo. Specifically, it's supposed to carry rockets high into the air, then launch those rockets into orbit. On Thursday, Stratolaunch, the company which produced the Roc, completed its second test flight. Space.com reports:

Roc reached a maximum altitude of 14,000 feet (4,267 m) and a top speed of 199 mph (320 kph) during Thursday's test flight, which Stratolaunch deemed a success. [...]

Stratolaunch is developing its own family of hypersonic vehicles, including a reusable 28-foot-long (8.5 m) craft called Talon-A, which will be the first to fly with Roc. But that won't happen for a while yet; Roc needs to make a number of additional solo flights first, company representatives said today. 

If all goes according to plan, the first drop tests with Roc and a Talon-A test article will occur early next year. An expendable version of Talon-A will reach hypersonic speeds later in 2022, and the first flight with the reusable Talon-A variant will follow in 2023, said Stratolaunch chief technology officer Daniel Millman.

A gang of robbers in Chile had the perfect plan. They had trained and prepared for the moment when they would leap out of a van and rob someone at a gas station temporarily distracted by a common task: pumping gas.

Alas, they experienced a major failure in the victim selection process. Or, perhaps, they had simply chosen the wrong venue for this type of robbery. You see, a person holding an active gasoline pump is armed.

This reminds me of an old, golden line:

. . . better a pointed stick and a furious anger than a death ray and the soul of a rabbit.

These women in Nepal appear to be running over a wavy surface. Is it liquified soil? It is vegetation on the surface of water? Snopes has not reached a conclusion, but proposes a few possibilities, including a "lawn blister" or bubble of water just below the topsoil.

In the meantime, I agree with Just-Call-Me-Sepp:

What should do you with any extra Cadbury Creme Eggs around your home? If, for some unknowable reason, you have not eaten all of them, Difford's Guide, a cocktail website, suggests making a drink.

It's a quite complex process. You'll need a week to properly season the ingredients, which include vanilla vodka, Licor 43 liqueur, white creme de cacao, Advocaat liquer, half-and-half, a vanilla pod, and, of course a creme egg.

Instagram user In Love with Drinks offers this Last Word cocktail. This gin drink began in 1915 at the Detroit Athletic Club. It was popular during the Prohibition Era, then fell into obscurity until its revival last decade. To make one, you will need equal parts of gin, Chartreuse liqueur, lime juice, and maraschino liqueur. Drink and clear your mind of questions.
