How to Make Anime Eyes


(Video Link)


You don't need a mask, just a good makeup kit and patience. BeautifulYouTV will walk you through the process, step-by-step. Once, you're done, put in these anime contact lenses to really freak people out (the objective of all sound fashion decisions).

Everything That I Ever Understood about Women Is Now Wrong



I guess that I should be glad that I got married before the revival of Doctor Who. I could do what's crossed out, but I'm not sure that I could come up with a TARDIS. Certainly not a functional one.

My three-year old saw a picture of the TARDIS and asked me what it was. I explained it to her, but I also emphasized that in our family, we are Trekkies. We respect people of other traditions, including Whovians. But we are Trekkies. Gotta start teaching the family ways and traditions while they're young and impressionable.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Everywhere



Simon Fletcher runs a Tumblr blog with an inspired mission: to point out images of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in noses everywhere. He writes, "God is the artist. I just find the Ninja Turtle in his work." Michelangelo would approve. The artist, I mean.

100-Year Old Man Completes Marathon

I think that we've now run out of excuses to exercise. Fauja Singh, at the age of 100, became the oldest man to complete a marathon:

It took Singh over eight hours to cross the finish line — more than six hours after Kenya's Kenneth Mungara won the event for the fourth straight year — and he was the last competitor to complete the course. But his time wasn't nearly remarkable as the accomplishment itself. [...]

Sunday's run was Fauja Singh's eighth marathon — he ran his first at the tender age of 89 — and wasn't the first time he set a record. In the 2003 Toronto event, he set the mark in the 90-plus category, finishing the race in five hours 40 minutes and one second.

Jedi Turtles


(Video Link)


First it was kittens, and now it's turtles! All of the animals are getting into the action -- which is making trips to the vet difficult, I can tell you. It's not the lightsabers that I mind so much as the mind tricks.

I wonder if Jabba will even consider taking her back at this point. At least lose the chest hair

15 People You'll See at Comic Conventions



Geeks are easily classed, especially when they congregate in large numbers. Well-organized cons actually offer taxanomic schemes at the door so that you can keep everyone straight. But if you don't get one, then Owen Parson's visual guide will help you keep the geeks sorted. View the rest at the link.

Moving Eyeball on a Water Tower


(Video Link)


Marcos Zotes projected an eyeball on the bottom of a water tower in Brooklyn. It's watching you ominously, like a long-legged alien striding over a conquered Earth.

Hello Kitty Ghostbusters Proton Pack



Here's a great find at the New York City Comic Con by Caleb Goellner of Comics Alliance. It's a cyclotron of cuteness.

Giant Fork Driven into a Car

Go ahead and call your insurance company. You now have a story that its employees will never forget. Actually, this is an ad in Nantes, France. It was made by the street theater company Royal de Luxe for IDM, a housewares retailer. Link -via Copyranter Previously by Royale de Luxe: Attack of the 20 Foot Marionettes Sultan's Elephant


Norway's Bridge to Nowhere



If Norway ever decides to remake The Dukes of Hazzard for their own country, this would be a good place to shoot scenes. And why not? There is a Swedish version.

No, the bridge isn't actually out. The Storseisundet Bridge in Møre og Romsdal county, when photographed from a particular angle, looks incomplete. Kuriositas has more pictures of this oddity.

How Is This Possible?



No part of this block was broken off and then reattached. So how did Steve Ramsey drive a nail through the middle of it? Leave your guess in the comments, and then watch the video at the link to see him do it.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Light Bulb Sculpture



We've featured the work of Dylan Kehde Roelofs, but I'm tickled by his new Pastafarian light bulb. He describes it as a fossil, but I like to think of this photo as a scene from the creation of the universe.

The Most Amazing Opera Stages in the World



Every two years, the Bregenzer Performing Arts Festival in Austria constructs an enormous floating stage that looks like anything other than an opera stage. Past designs include human heads, steam engines, and ice-covered mountains. Toxel has photos of these designs and others.
