Driving always presents at least some measure of risk, but it's one thing to have to worry about idiots that can't merge and a whole different matter to worry about the road itself. This great TopTenz list shows that your daily commute might occassionally seem dangerous when you see people pulled over after a fender-bender, but it's nowhere near the fearful drive some people need to take every day.

The Duck Without Fear by Matthew McCray Media

Darkwing had given up crime fighting, retiring the cape and floppy hat and settling down for a new life of peace and Sudoku puzzles, but when the city started quacking his name again he had to answer. Hell's Oven was burning again, and big bad brutes like the Kingfin and Bullguy were ruining people's lives for a pawful of greenbacks, but no one dared stand up to their reign of terror. Donning a new costume and a dark new attitude, a hero emerged to save the citizens from being charred by the flames of Hell's Oven, a duck who could definitely stand the heat, and thus Darkwing Devil- The Duck Without Fear was born...

Illustrator David G. Ferraro's series of art deco-style Disney movie posters are so pretty one wonders if this isn't the best possible style in which to create such artwork. The vivid jewel tones, geometric shapes, symmetry and retro fonts seem to blend seamlessly with the content, to the point that this reimagination doesn't seem too far a stretch.

Japan loves Kit Kat bars. There are at least 15 different flavors of that candy bar available there. And now people in that nation can enjoy it in a new form: croissants. Pronto, a restaurant chain, is offering crescent rolls that have two Kit Kat bars baked inside of them. Rocket News 24 tested them and finds the combination perfect:

If you’d prefer your croissant warm and your Kit Kat melty, the staff will be happy to heat it up in the toaster oven for you. While this takes away some of the satisfying crunch of the Kit Kat itself, it also helps the chocolate seep into croissant, forming layers of sweetness between the buttery flakes. And just like the name implies, the flavor makes for a great contrast to the bitterness of a cup of coffee.

Pronto offers these croissants with both regular and matcha green tea Kit Kat flavors.

I'd love to see a Kit Kat cronut.

Pope Francis is visiting New York City on Thursday. There will be this example of that city's most famous food waiting for him. Chef Tony Salihaj of Bleecker Street Pizza in the West Village composed this picture-perfect pizza portrait of him. His robe is made of mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and his staff of anchovies.

This is only one of a surprisingly large number of pizzas that New York City's finest pizzerias are creating in the Pope's honor, often with the hope of actually delivering them to him. You can see photos of more Papal pizzas as the New York Post.

Do you have any unusual eating quirks? Most people have at least one. I've been teased before due to my penchant for sometimes taking apart and rearranging my sandwiches. I've seen some people who have their procedure of eating Oreos down to a science. Others eat chocolate bars in a certain way. Some people combine foods on their plate; others are freaked out if the foods on their plate even touch. 

Yet when Redditors were asked what their most bizarre food habits were, it became clear that the abovementioned routines were just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Some examples follow: 

"Cheese Doritos dipped in milk, then suck the cheese milk off the chip and eat the naked chip. Delicious.

EDIT: Guys, it’s actually delicious! Please try it." -gumgooki

"My co-worker 1.) Takes his sandwich out of the fridge. 2.) Removes the single slice of swiss cheese. 3.) Eats his sandwich. 4.) Places the cheese slice on a plate. 4.) Puts this in the toaster oven until melted. 5.) Proceeds to eat the cheese with a fork and knife. 

Mitch if you are reading this, ITS WEIRD." -today_is_yesterday

"When I have Taco Bell I eat the taco or burrito first then suck on a packet of hot sauce after. Too lazy to pour it on the food I guess." -jusfunky
 

"I peel and eat the crust off Chicken McNuggets before eating the actual chicken." -TheCoastalService

"I can take 25 bites out of an M&M. 50 out of a peanut M&M." -Heideed

Alex Solis (previously at Neatorama) is a Chicago-based illustrator who, with his series "Icons Unmasked," draws parallels between characters from popular culture with these mashup illustrations. Some of the pairings are obvious choices, some are less so, but all Solis' matches share at least one common characteristic.

They're not precisely sure when their business was founded. But RJ Balson and Son has on file a business license granted in 1515. And for that entire 500-year period, this butcher shop in Bridport, Dorset, UK, has been owned and operated by the same family.

It's survived wars, both foreign and civil, plagues, and economic depressions. RJ Balson and Son has been in its current location only recently--just since the 19th Century. But it's always been serving meat to customers in Bridport. The Daily Telegraph reports:

On sale now is a mixture of novelty and old-fashioned fare. Packs of beef dripping share space with sliced chorizo. There is a freezer of game: some traditional, like venison and rabbit, some exotic, like bison, zebra, crocodile, ostrich and kangaroo.

When the business opened, the kangaroo hadn’t even been discovered. […]

From the early 1990s to the mid-2000s, butcher numbers tumbled from 15,000 to around 6,000, a drop of 60 per cent, according to Meat Trades Journal, though in the last couple of years figures have stabilised.

Balson is clear that he can fight against the supermarkets. “The main thing is personal service. When you come in, you get a nice welcome, you say, 'how’s your mum?’, 'how’s your daughter?’ Most of the people who come in, we’ve served their parents before them, and their grandparents before that and they like to be asked.

"You’re not going to get that personal experience in a supermarket. Who wants to queue up for 20 minutes before you even get to the checkout?”

In any case, if a shop has outlived 23 monarchs and 52 prime ministers, it probably stands a fighting chance of surviving the rise and Tesco and Aldi.

Can you make a product that looks like the Batmobile and sell it without DC's permission? According to a new ruling by 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, no. DC Comics has a legitimate copyright claim upon the Batmobile.

Mark Towle, a custom car builder, made replicas of the Batmobile and sold them. DC sued him. The court's decision on the case contains at least 3 specific Batman references.

Pictured above is Natasha Wagner--or, more precisely, the part of her body that earns her hefty paychecks. 14 years ago, fashion consultants discovered that Wagner has the ideal butt for testing designs for jeans. She's 5 feet, 8 inches tall and wears a size 6. Her posterior represents the needs of a vast number of women who buy jeans in a wide variety of styles. When fashion designers want to see how their work looks on an ideal set of buttocks, they call Wagner. Vogue talked to designer Julien Jarmoune about Wagner's assets:

“Natasha has the perfect marriage of body types,” clarified Jarmoune. “Because if you fit with someone who is too curvy (tiny waist, big butt), or with someone who has a straight body (no hips), you are limiting yourself to just a certain body type. A jean that is fit on a straight body will never look good on someone who has curves. That’s why Natasha comes into play perfectly. She has the best of both worlds where she’s slim and she still has shape. Additionally, she has great legs that are the perfect length (she fits our standard 30-inch leg inseam flawlessly) so that our jeans will work for someone who is short or tall.”

But Wagner is much more than just her bottom. After doing this kind of work for 14 years, she's become an expert in jeans design:

Wagner, who owns more than 100 pairs of jeans herself, explained her “science of denim” further: “Once I had learned the jean terminology, I began to help designers flesh out details or catch things that may have been overlooked. They’re busy, they’re working on the current season plus a year ahead. I’m just focusing on fit and am able to point out specifics like if the back rise is pulling or if there’s bubbling or roping,” she said. Plus, she knows the jargon. “A lot of the time you’ll get what’s called ‘slippage’ on a jean, where the denim pulls and you can kind of see the weft in the garment. So I can recommend trying a different type of construction or a different side seam. I know how the body should look in the jean, so I’m able to tell them things like, ‘Kick out the back rise,’ or ‘Take a measurement from the top of the rise and add it to the bottom of the rise to give it a nicer butt shape and a lift.’ ”

On the right is comedian Stephen Colbert. On the left is the Aptostichus stephencolberti, a spider species found in California. The resemblance is striking, don't you think? If Colbert ever needs a night off from his new show, he's got a stand-in ready.

This is 1 of 24 animal species that have been named for celebrities rounded up by BuzzFeed, including Hugh Hefner, Barack Obama, Johnny Depp, Madonna, and Harrison Ford.

Baobabs are among the widest trees in the world and this particular one is a whopper. At 155 feet around, the Sunland Baobob in Limpopo, South Africa is the largest in the continent. It's the location of a nice bar, located in the interior of the tree. The bar is designed to look like a classic English pub. It even has a dartboard. Up to 20 people can fit into the pub comfortably, drinking beer stored in the bar's literal root cellar.

This is 1 of 10 unusual bars located at remote or extreme locations rounded up by Atlas Obscura. The list includes one in Antarctica that distills its own vodka, the only bar on Pitcairn Island, and one in Scotland that is usually accessed by a boat ride.

Safari tourists drove through Kruger National Park in South Africa. They stopped to watch an elephant family. The baby wanted to act big and tough, like a full-grown elephant should. So he charged the tourists and trumpeted. Sorry, little guy. You'll have to grow up a bit more before you can scare the humans.
