Cristóbal Vila produced a stunning animation on one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous buildings. Fallingwater {wiki} was designed in 1935 and built in Pennsylvania. This CGI movie shows the building process and takes you on a tour of the home’s angles. Link -via Ursi’s Blog

Instructables has step-by-step instructions for making your own Rheopectic slime.

The slime we made is a Non Newtonian fluid and is rheopectic which means it shows an increase on its apparent viscosity with time under a constantly applied stress.

In other words, the more you play with it, it will become more viscous (even you can make a ball with it and it bounces) and we you stop (the shearing force is gone) it starts flowing (see the video, first you will see it flow when no shear force is present (you can also leave it in a table an see how it flows), then I applied a shear force on it and made it a ball that bounced.

This recipe is not safe for children under 5, who might eat it. Link

Test your Visual Recognition Memory for faces, objects, and names. I scored slightly below average on all three tests. The test is simple to understand and takes about 15 minutes, unless you blaze through it like I did. Link -via Dump Trumpet

Eat with the Diet Fork and lose weight! Only $8.95.

* Shorter and dulled teeth inhibiting user from grasping larger pieces of food at any one time
* Smaller triangular shaped surface area allowing dieter to hold less food than many other forks
* Uncomfortable grip compelling user to put fork down between bites, slowing the user's eating speed

Hmm, I think this fork may be more likely to lead you to eat with your hands instead of eating less. Link -via Mookie

Maybe Neatorama should run an ad like this, since gail can’t be here all the time! Although the language is garbled, the meaning is perfectly clear. I especially like the part about submitting a better version of this ad. Found at The Shanghaiist via Grow-A-Brain.

The Quagga looks like a cross between a zebra and some other animal, like the series of zebra posts on Neatorama just recently, but it was a type of zebra. The Quagga became extinct in the late 19th century. DNA analysis of the preserved remains of several Quaggas revealed that it was not a separate species, but a zebra subspecies. The Quagga Project hopes to selectively breed zebras with DNA similar to the Quagga in order to bring the Quagga back and reintroduce it to protected preserves in its former habitat in South Africa.

The Smoking Gun has another collection of mug shots featuring t-shirts with slogans (previous post). If you can’t see the example on the left, it says, “Trust me. I do this all the time.” I believe the photographers sometimes arrange the shots to include the t-shirt phrase! Link -via Fark

Bunk Strutts at Say No To Crack explains where these “long eggs” come from. Why, from long chickens, of course!

“Yep they’re longer, bigger hens. But we don’t raise ‘em for the meat so much as the aigs. A reglar chicken don’t lay no more than one a day. These chickens lay one long one every three days, an’ it take about three hens lined up to hatch it.”

As you go through airport security, you find out that the scissors in your purse are too big. You can leave the security line and mail them, or take them to your car (which could be quite a hike), but you’d have to go to the back of the security line and start all over again. Most people voluntarily surrender any contraband items to avoid missing their plane. This Wall Street Journal article looks at what various states are doing with the items that are confiscated.

On Saturday, July 6, 1957, a dance was held at St. Peter’s Parish Church in Woolton. One of the two bands playing that night was The Quarry Men, led by a 16-year-old named John Lennon. After the performance, he was introduced to another budding musician, 15-year-old Paul McCartney.

In 1994, Bob Molyneux, a retired policeman, rediscovered a single reel-to-reel tape he had made of that evening performance, caught while experimenting with a bulky "portable" Grunding tape recorder. Preserved on the tape were poor quality recordings of Quarry Men performances of Lonnie Donegan's "Puttin' On The Style" and Elvis Presley's "Baby, Let's Play House."

That tape is the earliest existing recording of John Lennon singing. Those recordings were used for a BBC radio special, and you can hear them at The Beatles Source. Link -via Grow-A-Brain

Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.

My neighborhood scored 34 out of 100, which is awful, and they didn’t even take into account that there are no sidewalks! Link -via Reddit

A rare Sumatran tiger foiled poachers by escaping from a trap and surviving without his foot. The tiger was photographed in March and May by motion-sensor cameras in the Tesso Nilo national park.

In normal circumstances the beast would have been expected to die from blood loss or an infection, or simply to starve to death because of a severely reduced capacity to hunt.

However, to the astonishment of conservationists, the tiger appears to have recovered from the loss and is managing to catch enough food to keep it healthy. “His condition seemed quite stable,” Sunarto, a WWF biologist in Sumatra, said. “He has been surviving – I don’t know how. It’s very surprising he’s still alive.”

The Sumatran tiger is the most endangered tiger in the world. Link -via Fark

In most animal hybrids, you see a gradual blending of traits from each parent. In the case of this “zorse”, there is no question about which body part came from each parent! Eclyce’s mother is a horse, and her sire is a zebra. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007290649,00.html -via Fark
