Everything's better deep fried, right? Butter, beer, lattes -- everything! Especially money.
Alex, this is how I want to get paid from now on. Maybe dust it with a bit of powdered sugar while you're at it.

This is allegedly an ad for an anti-littering campaign in Belfast, UK. But it would work pretty well for anti-drug campaign as well. Or a commercial for adult undergarments.

Supermodel Heidi Klum took it all off for her costume this year. I mean, even her skin. At least, that's the result of her professional costuming job. View more pictures at the link.

What does it mean? Is it a sign?
But when the scrotal ultrasound of a 45-year-old patient with severe testicular pain and a possible mass revealed the surprising image of a man in distress, urologists at Queen’s University, in Ontario, followed proper scholarly procedure: They submitted it to Urology, the official journal of the International Society of Urology.
“The residents and staff alike were amazed to see the outline of a man’s face staring up out of the image, his mouth agape as if the face seen on the ultrasound scan itself was also experiencing severe epididymo-orchitis,” wrote the authors, G. Gregory Roberts and Naji J. Touma, in an article that appeared in the journal’s September issue. “A brief debate ensued on whether the image could have been a sign from a deity (perhaps ‘Min,’ the Egyptian god of male virility); however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation.”
Surely there must be some rash conclusion we can jump to!

Mr. Bergmann, a chemistry teacher, showed his students how to carve a jack-o'-lantern quickly and efficiently. By blowing it up.
Those chemistry teachers...you've got to watch them.

A couple of weeks ago, I featured Jillian Tamaki's cartoons of unusual sexy versions of Halloween costumes, such as Sexy New York City Subway Rat and Sexy First Edition Old Man and the Sea. Her best idea was a Sexy Hungry Man frozen dinner costume. Kate Thornbery made it a reality.

Confession: sometimes I take Alex's coffee mug, fill it with coffee from Miss Cellania's pot, and then leave it on the counter for Miss C to discover. It works every time.

Why not Zoidberg? Zoidberg can keep your head warm. And moist, too! Just hold still for a moment.

Well, Starry Night isn't scary, but this version from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is certainly beautiful. I wonder what Van Gogh would think if he knew that this painting would become a major pop culture icon.

Why don't you apply? You're not getting paid for that office clerk internship anyway.
Nidar Singh of Wolverhampton, UK, may be the last living master of the Sikh martial art shastar vidya, which means the "science of weapons". He himself was taught by an octogenarian in Punjab who thought that he was the last serious practitioner. Singh remembered the first day of his training:
On his first day of training, the frail old man handed him a stick and instructed Mr Singh to hit him. When he tried, the master threw him around like a rag doll.
"He was a frail old man chucking me about and I couldn't touch him," he says. "That definitely impressed me."

I lived in Florida for a few years. One thing that I didn't like about the place was that it was simply dangerous to go hiking in much of the state, especially off-trail. Too many creatures there see humans as a food source, or at least a threat from which one didn't have to flee. Spiders the size of your hand, water moccasins in tubing rivers, alligators in suburban ponds...I mean, there's a good reason why the state bird is the mosquito. It represents what you're up against.
Case in point: wildlife officials in the Everglades found a Burmese Python that had swallowed an adult-sized deer. The doe's body caused the snake to swell to a 44-inch girth. No, it didn't kill him. A shotgun blast did that.

The correct answer is "An African or a European swallow?" Or, for partial credit, "blue".

Would you like to take a picture like this one? Evan Sharboneau, also known as the "Photo Extremist", has a short video tutorial showing how to take high speed photos. The process doesn't appear to be beyond the reach of a serious amateur.

The author of The Fluffpo loves to make fun of the variously loved or loathed Huffington Post, and so made this funny bingo card for readers to play as they read that blog. Presumably the winner gets one of those high-paying writing gigs at the Post.
But winners of this contest will get t-shirts. We're going to create a bingo card with twenty-four squares (they'll be one free space in the center) that people can play while reading Neatorama. What should we write in the squares? You tell us!
Place your submission in the comment section below. Write only one per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you’d like. In five days, we'll choose twenty-four entries for our card and show you the results so that you can start playing right away.
Among those twenty-four entries, we'll randomly select two winners who will get t-shirts from the NeatoShop. Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don’t include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay?
Now, off to the comments with you!

Update: The contest is over, the card is ready, and you can see the results here. Congratulations to our two t-shirt winners!
