Jake Wright takes surplus ordnance and turns it into household furniture. This lamp, for example, is made from a 100-pound bomb left over from the Korean War. At the link, you can find his other designs, including dummy naval rounds made into table bases.
Ani K. was inspired by the story of a man who painted with his foot to find a way of painting well with some other appendage. He tried using his nose, but discovered that another artist was already doing that. No one, however, was painting with his tongue.
At first, the oil paints gave Ani headaches and nausea. But he bravely pressed on and can now finish a large painting in three days.
If you have an encounter with the police, be polite and maybe even friendly. But don't get too informal, as one man in Pennsylvania did when an officer pulled him over for driving without his lights on:
Officer Adam Bonsell says Decker told him, "Thanks, buddy," and tried to high-five him. Bonsell told him, "That's not how it works" and gave Decker field sobriety tests.
Police say Decker's blood-alcohol content was 2 1/2 times the legal limit for drivers.
Why? Because if you don't cap your USB memory stick in some manner, the data will fall out. Simple science, folks. This simple invention by the Japanese design studio Hum solves that problem with an old fashioned corked bottle.
This Wanda Wilson (Lady Deadpool) was spotted at TeslaCon 2011. Alternatively, this is a (male) Deadpool crossplay, set in the 19th Century. Like all things Deadpool, conversations get awkward quickly.
You thought that we wouldn't make a musical version of Animal House? You screwed up -- you trusted us! The classic story of a wild college fraternity in the 1960s will be set to song:
A classic of the gross-out comedy genre, the 1978 John Landis feature National Lampoon's Animal House will join the long list of movie hits being retooled as theatrical musicals. Universal Pictures Stage Productions announced development of the project Monday.
The show will have an original score by Canadian alt-rockers Barenaked Ladies and a book by playwright Michael Mitnick, based on the screenplay by Harold Ramis, Douglas Kenney and Chris Miller. Casey Nicholaw, a Tony Award winner for The Book of Mormon, has signed on as director and choreographer.
A simple phrase, topped with the crown of King George VI. Since its rediscovery twelve years ago, the Keep Calm and Carry On poster has become a popular symbol of courage and resolution. Now learn the story behind the poster and its rediscovery in an amazing bookstore in northeastern England.
For a generation, the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology has secretly trained pirates to ravage shipping on the high seas:
It’s been an unofficial, underground practice among students at MIT for at least 20 years: Any student who completes courses in pistol, archery, sailing, and fencing is considered a pirate.
Now it's no longer an informal process. MIT has brazenly admitted to preparing countless sea dogs for lives of villainy. Henceforth, students who complete the program earn actual, physical certificates:
As of this school year, the physical education department is formally conferring pirate status on students, printing certificates on faux parchment with diploma-esque calligraphy. Each paper, authorized by the "swashbucklin’" Massachusetts Institute of Technology, certifies that the named "salty dog" is entitled to a Pirate Certificate “with all its privileges and obligations thereof."
In response, the more sedate CalTech has launched a training program that leads to a letter of marque.
Ron Ulicny plays with René Magritte's iconic painting The Treachery of Images. He has a gift for splicing together objects in unexpected ways. Ulicny's entire gallery is a treat, so be sure to explore it at the link.
This is actually easy to make. All you have to do is program the TARDIS to materialize inside a bottle. But Craftster user hpotterwizard went to the trouble of building a model TARDIS inside a bottle.
So here's my idea for an episode: the TARDIS materializes inside a bottle like this one, then breaks down. The Doctor and his companions are trapped inside and can only watch as strange events take place on the other side of the glass.
Runty is off-key and alternating his tempo. More practice! Porter and Tucker can play. Why can't you?! No walkies until I hear "Marching to Pretoria" played properly!
From the darkest bowels of the twisted imagination of Stacey Rader comes Artoo Peetoo, a ghastly experiment gone wrong. Rader takes action figures and dolls, then performs cruel surgeries to combine them. In her Etsy shop, you can find similar monstrosities inspired by Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel Comics, DC Comics and more.
Although this video starts out like a typical one by professional prankster Rémi Gaillard, it ends up being sidetracked a woman who tries to walk into another person's house uninvited. How rude!
The mage has five metronomes moving at the same speed, but not synchronized because he started them at different times. Then he places them on a rolling surface. Within a few seconds, they sync up. How? redditor Rangourthaman_ offers an explanation, which you can read by clicking on "more..."
