When you leave home in the morning, are you going to work or to play? You can delay that decision with the True Wetsuit by Quicksilver. It’s a line of suits—complete with a shirt and tie—that you can surf in.

Well, technically speaking, there’s nothing to stop you from surfing in your professionally tailored business suit. But Quicksilver claims that its suits will dry out after a thorough dousing in saltwater. You won’t need to change before heading into the office and explaining why you’re three hours late.

Each suit costs about $2,500. You can see more photos at Spoon & Tamago.

Too Many Cooks is a brilliantly innovative short film by Casper Kelly of Adult Swim. It starts out as a perfect parody of 80s sitcom introductions. Then it gets weird. Then it gets dark. It’s perfect and you should watch it.

And you should watch Alex Jones’s Game of Thrones version that matches the original Too Many Cooks soundtrack with scenes from that show. As you might expect, the lyrics match the gory drama:

A family is like a soup
Everyone adds an extra scoop
Mix an ounce of smile so sweet
A dash of cool to add the heat, and you’ve got
Too many Cooks

Cartoonist John Atkinson has a theme: he creates charts showing how things change over time, such as the typical song, the typical movie, and the typical TV show. His most recent cartoon shows the average day of a person from babyhood to the final years. His model of adulthood seems just about right.

My eyes are up here, Ariel. I'm more than just a pair of luscious, muscular thighs that provide terrestrial locomotion. I have a mind. I can be a part of your world if you'll have that, too.

Rob James-Collier is the actor who plays Thomas Barrow on Downton Abbey. James-Collier plays an evil butler, but he's a nice guy. He's raising money for children with multiple sclerosis. To encourage donations, he and other actors from the show are making a fan film series that brings their show into the Star Wars universe.

Skip to the 1:29 mark in the video to see beginning of the film. The actors who play John Bates, Anna Bates, and Charles Carson make appearances. They shot all of the scenes between takes while filming Downton Abbey and used only smartphones to record video.

This episode is free. James-Collier is charging money for future episodes. You can donate at his website, which is appropriately named Evil Butler.

This is Hans Langseth (1846-1927) of North Dakota. He was one of the beardiest men who ever lived. When he died, his beard was the longest in the world at 17 feet and 6 inches.

Langseth began growing his beard at the age of 19 for a beard competition. He then kept it for the rest of his life. After his death, his beard eventually ended up in the Smithsonian Institution, where it remains to this day. With different colors from different stages of his life and wheat kernels from his days as a farmer, the beard is an organic record of Langseth’s life. If there's a facial hair equivalent of dendrochronology, then Langseth's beard provides the most remarkable sample. You can see more photos at Smithsonian magazine.

The dark and gripping 2007 Coen brothers movie No Country for Old Men was an adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel with the same title. The blogger behind Then & Now Movie Locations visited the places where it was shot, including locations in Albuquerque and Las Vegas, New Mexico. Pictured above is the Regal Motel in Las Vegas, where Llewelyn Moss hid while fleeing the relentless hitman Anton Chigurth. You can see more comparison photos here (warning: auto-sound).

This dog loves to play the children’s game of patty cake. Or she loves the treats that she gets after a game. But, hey, athletes deserve to be compensated, right? And this yellow lab plays to win.

During the Fifth Century B.C., Athenians engaged in the usual practice of ostracism. Once a year, they took a popular vote. The person with the most votes was banished from the city. Ideally, this would remove the most hated person in the city.

2,500 years later, State Senator Mark Chelgren of Iowa has a proposal that’s strikingly similar. He thinks that some professors at state universities are incompetent. But because of tenure regulations, they get to keep their jobs for life. Chelgren has introduced a bill into the state legislature that would reduce these bad teachers by empowering students to fire a single professor every year.

The process begins with the end-of-semester student evaluations. The Chronicle of Higher Education explains:

The names of the five professors with the lowest ratings above the minimum threshold would be published online. Students would then vote on those professors’ future employment — and the professor with the fewest votes would be fired, regardless of tenure status or contract terms.

His head isn’t square. It’s nicely rounded, as is his fur. When he grows it out, it’s also rounded—just larger. But when he goes to a groomer, he’ll emerge with a boxy, roughly cubical head of hair. In the Republic of China, this is the latest trend in dog grooming: cubical haircuts.

Meanwhile, in Australia, humanity survived yet another day, despite facing natural predators too terrible to contemplate. Danny Ford found a wolf spider in his home. He whacked it with a broom. Instead of dying, the spider appeared to fall apart.

It was actually a mother spider carrying a vast number of babies. When hit with by broom, the spiders went crawling everywhere, all over the floor and into every crevice of the home. Does your collar feel a bit itchy right now? Then you probably have a spider in your shirt.

Earlier this week, the people of the internet were delighted to look at a real frog that looks like the famous Muppet, Kermit the Frog. He is not the only real Muppet that dwells among us. Joe Hanson, a biologist and science educator, has rounded up pictures of 7 other pairs of fabric and flesh. These include a very persuasive Gonzo as a tapir and a sloth that looks like Oscar the Grouch. You can view them all here.

Technically speaking, Ziploc is a brand name. Whatever the brand, the design concept is the same: a bag that separates and reseals with a plastic zipper. Mechanically speaking, it's quite complex--more than you might think for a cheap, disposable product.

Danish inventor Borge Madsen developed the practical resealable bag in 1950. It's a zipper with tiny hooks. Outside runners help guide your fingers so that you align the two sections properly. Bruce Peterson decsribes the history and technology of the resealable bag in Wired:

When President Barack Obama was born in 1961, President Herbert Hoover was still alive. When President Hoover was born in 1874, President Andrew Johnson was still alive. When President Johnson was born in 1808, President John Adams—the second President and one of the original revolutionaries—was still alive.

So the U.S. is only 4 Presidents old.

The Washington Post created this chart to illustrate when Presidential lives overlapped. George Washington and James Buchanan lived at the same time. So do George. H.W. Bush and the late William Howard Taft.

Tyler S. Brain, a student at Mississippi State University, spotted another student in a lecture hall cooking bacon on an electric grill in the middle of class. In fact, he was in the front row!

The professor is, quite rightly, unperturbed. While at Starfleet Academy, Captain Kirk won the famed Kobayashi Maru simulation by cheating. He was given a special commendation for original thinking. This college student deserves the same treatment.
