That’s what the bakeryPâtissez in Canberra, Australia calls its extreme milkshakes that are as big as your head and filled with everything they can think of to stuff inside. If it’s in the bakery, why not shove it into the milkshake? Sure, add ice cream and syrup as well. But don’t stop there. I want a chocolate fudge milkshake with an entire Boston cream pie as a garnish, followed by whipped cream and a single cherry.
We’ve all done or said something so embarrassing that we’ve wanted to kick ourselves in the head. But that wasn’t the motivation for Puskar Nepal of Nepal who holds the Guinness World Record for kicking himself in the head the most number of times in a single minute. He hit the 134 mark in a demonstration at Kantipur City College in Kathmandu. Puskar hopes towin records that will bring honor and glory to his homeland:
I'm now so passionate about Guinness World Records that I aim to set more than 100 records. I believe my records would help promote my country, birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha, around the globe. Also I want to prove that people from a small and poor country like Nepal can also do anything. I want to be inspiration of the people of my country.
On the left is American actor George Clooney. On the right is Japanese gorilla Shabani. Both have sent many female hearts aflutter with their rakishly good looks. The BBC calls Shabani the "metrosexual gorilla."
Well, hello there, miss. Welcome to my cage. Would you care for a drink?
Shabani, 18, lives at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens. In March, he came to the attention of young Japanese women on social media. The BBC reports how women describe him:
Ikemen: It's the Japanese slang for "handsome guy". The word is a combination of "I-ke" (pronounced "ee-kay"), which is an abbreviation of a word meaning "cool" or just "good", and "men" derived from the English. […]
Dark and brooding: According to local media reports, many women who flock to see Shabani in action are using words of admiration often attributed to the likes of George Clooney or Hugh Jackman or Japan's own Ken Watanabe - "shibui" (meaning "bitter") and "nihiru" (derived from the English "nihilistic") both used to describe "dark and brooding" men.
Unfortunately, ladies, Shabani is taken. He's already married--to another gorilla 24 years his senior! He has a son, too. But you're welcome to visit him at the zoo. Just expect cold stares from his wife.
Ash had to pass through a desert land on his way to the Johto region, and as soon as he stepped foot on the sand he knew something was terribly wrong. The pocket monsters he encountered in this arid region were wild, untrained and unruly, and their appearance didn't match their entry in the Dex. Ash tried to capture a small, shiny monster but found his poke ball had no effect on the creature even when it was set to max power. Soon many more of the misshapen creatures started to appear, and Ash heard the roar of an engine and the mad laughter of a War Pika...
Add a new twist on a couple of old classics to your geeky wardrobe with this Mad Ash t-shirt by Kuitsuku, it's the perfect way to catch them all before they catch you...

The blog Flashbak takes us way back to the golden age of made-for-TV movies: the late 1970s. Back then, it was possible to attract big stars for widely-watched movies made for broadcast.
Who would have been cast for the major roles in Game of Thrones in 1977? Flashbak is right that Michael Landon (Charles Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie) would have been an excellent Ned Stark. Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin on Star Wars) would be perfect as Tywin Lannister, as would Ricardo Montalban (Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island) in the role of Stannis Baratheon.
Who says being a mute, thoroughly furry being with a smaller brain than that of other U.S. Presidential candidates is a disadvantage in the race? One Democratic Party candidate from Louisville, Kentucky, specifically, feline Limberbutt McCubbins, has legally filed and been approved for the race. Though he can't debate or give rousing speeches, his promise as a figurehead is exciting, to say the least.
A friend of his human suggested McCubbins run for the office. He said to NPR that he thought Limberbutt would be perfect for the job. McCubbins has since received support far and wide regarding his candidacy.
Learn more about Limberbutt on his Facebook page and website; there you can visit and tell him what you believe to be the pressing political issues of our time (and see if he seems to give a nip about them).
Dr. Uwe E. Reinhardt of Princeton University is an expert on the economics of health care. He's a widely-sought speaker on the topic and has published regularly in the New York Times to an audience of millions.
By his own admission, he has no idea what he's talking about. So Dr. Reinhardt has decided to instead teach about Korean television dramas, of which he has watched many:
After the near‐collapse of the world’s financial system has shown that we economists really do not know how the world works, I am much too embarrassed to teach economics anymore, which I have done for many years. I will teach Modern Korean Drama instead.
Although I have never been to Korea, I have watched Korean drama on a daily basis for over six years now. Therefore I can justly consider myself an expert in that subject.
Inevitably, some of aspects of his former profession are creeping into his current one. He describes how Korean dramas depict hospitals:
Finally, every good Korean drama has many scenes at super clean hospitals with good‐looking doctors and nurses. Koreans love their hospitals and seem to run to them whenever they have a cold or a headache or are lovesick or simply feel “stress.”
To an economist like me, this fondness for hospitals is surprising, because hospitals are expensive in Korea and much of the bill is not covered by Korea’s National Health Insurance system. Price‐elasticity of demand does not seem to work in Korean drama.
This is all most likely a joke, as Dr. Reinhardt appears to still be employed by Princeton University as a professor of economics.
Archer is a big fan of drinking, womanizing and doing “spy stuff”, pretty much exactly in that order.
However, Archer isn’t a fan of Comic-Con, and he has no problem telling poor Pam how stupid it is to go see panels and movie sneak peeks. In the process that mean drunk crushes Pam's dream of cosplaying as Immortan Joe...
So why does the Duchess of the Danger Zone have such a problem with all the Comic-Con geekery? Who gives a crap, he's a cartoon! (Video contains NSFW-ish language)
Some guys are in need of a little help when it comes to grooming, and that’s not necessarily their fault.
They just didn’t receive the proper guidance as they grew up, and were never told that growing facial hair is an art form, and beards and moustaches should be chosen according to the shape of your face.
They may also have missed out on this lesson in nail trimming etiquette, which we should all probably print out and bring along with us, especially when riding public transportation!
Poor Shemp- your name is forever associated with the worst era in Three Stooges history (even though plenty of good shorts came out of that era), and when you passed away they had to use a stand-in to complete the four shorts owed to Columbia Pictures.
These "fake Shemps" give movie and TV productions a cheesy feel, causing viewers to wonder why the studios didn't just replace the actor with somebody else, or simply write them out of the script, for the sake of production value.
Take the Sopranos for instance- actress Nancy Marchand, who played Tony Soprano's mom, passed away in 2000 and left the show with a major gap in their lineup.
So what did series creator David Chase do to fill the gap? He digitally pasted Marchand's head on a stand-in's body. Needless to say fans were not happy with this fix...

Derek VanCauwenbergh, a stained glass artist in Sandusky, Ohio, makes shiny things for geeks of every fandom. He made this beautiful arm lamp that he turned out so well that he's decided to build the rest of Artoo, too! You can find more of his work on Etsy and Instagram.
Artist Thomas Mailaender was once described as "an insatiable and compulsive collector of photographs and sociological patterns." For his project titled Illustrated People, Mailaender selected old photographic negatives from the Archive of Modern Conflict and placed them on the skin of volunteers. By shining a UV lamp over them, he sunburned the images onto their bodies. You can see more examples from the series at Juxtapoz.
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is conducting humanity's first close observation of the planet Pluto. Scientists are mesmerized by the first high-resolution images of this mysterious world at the border of our solar system.
Pluto is ancient, but our knowledge of it is not. It was in only 1930 that Clyde Tombaugh, a 23-year old astronomer from Kansas, found it hidden away in the distance (though this is disputed). Tombaugh went on to have a long and fruitful career in astronomy before dying in 1997 at the age of 90.
When NASA launched New Horizons in 2006, the probe carried a portion of Tombaugh's ashes. So in a way, he's now traveled all the way to the world that he discovered. NBC News talked to his family:
"My dad would have been thrilled," Alden Tombaugh, 70, told NBC News. "He always said that if he had the chance, he wanted to visit the planets. And a little part of him is going to get to do that."
