The mother of a University of California San Diego student says she's outraged that her daughter must strip naked for the final exercise in her Art Visual course in order to pass. Professor Roberto Dominguez, who is also naked in the candlelit exercise, says that he's been teaching the course with the same requirements for 11 years and has never had a complaint prior to this.
The syllabus for the class states that students are required to create “a gesture that traces, outlines or speaks about your ‘erotic self(s).'” Professior Dominguez said that if students have a problem with the exercise, they shouldn't be taking the class. -Via Arbroath

Abdul Rashid Bhat of the town of Budgam in northern India went to the trouble of registering his cow to take a college entrance exam. Passing the test would qualify the cow to enter the Government Degree College at Bemina. This was a great opportunity for the cow to build a prosperous career.
Alas, the foolish cow didn't even show up, let alone pass the test. The Times of India reports:
A Budgam resident, who managed to get hall ticket for his Brown Cow to write a professional entrance examination, on Sunday did not turn up with the bovine for the paper at the allocated centre here, saying he only wanted to convey a message about the "flaw" in the system.
"I only wanted to convey a message to the authorities about the flaw in the system. I never wanted to make a mockery of the system," Abdul Rashid Bhat, the owner of the now-famous cow, told PTI.
It's a shame that the cow threw away a chance that so many other cows never get.

Dr. Bruce Banner has a lot to do. And I'm not talking about laboratory work. Like any other functional adult, he has a long to-do list of daily chores. It makes him irritable. It brings out the Hulk in him (like the rest of us). In this animated short by Fox ADHD, the Hulk must quickly and brutally get through the mundane details of life.

Cosplayer AlyCat looks almost exactly like Lena Headey's depiction of Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. She's left aside the queen's normal garb for Princess Leia's famous slave outfit. She doesn't have a chain with which to strangle Jabba, but only because she has a more painful end in mind for him.

Fans of Olive Garden's breadsticks will be happy to know that beginning June 1, 2015, the restaurant will start serving sandwiches made with the same garlic-buttery bread as their breadsticks. According to the Associated Press, the sandwich buns will be the exact recipe as the popular chain's breadsticks, except shorter and wider.
As with all of the Olive Garden's dishes, sandwiches will come with unlimited breadsticks. Never fear, your neverending bread supply won't disappear. Read more, including the variety and price of the new sandwiches, here.
Most digital artists use 3D modeling software to create all kinds of eye pleasing, and extremely realistic looking, virtual objects which are easily mistaken for real life objects. But 3D software can also be used as a force of evil or, in this case, mind boggling strangeness.
These totally warped characters were created by digital artist Lee Griggs by using photographic textures applied to bizarrely deformed models for his appropriately titled series Deformations.
Some of them are square pegs, others look like their heads have fallen victim to a tornado’s torrent, and this poor guy looks like he has one heck of a sinus headache! -Via Ufunk

We all know that kiddos love potty humor, but that doesn't mean you need to encourage their dirty obsessions. If you're so inclined to entertain your child's love of poop and fart jokes though, you won't want to miss this great InventorSpot list of 10 crazy kid's toys. Of course, they don't all relate with bodily functions, there is also the Adolf Hitler action figure as well as a killer unicorn. The bottom line is that they probably aren't things your youngster really needs.
Warning: Some of the toys might be considered moderately NSFW, but keep in mind, they are all just toys.
No joke, in June, Cadbury Australia is coming out with a milk chocolate bar infused with delicious, creamy caramel...and, Vegemite. While not popular in the United States in any way, the dark, concentrated yeast spread is a food staple in Australia.
However, in my opinion, it has no business being anywhere near chocolate. Am I right?
And, if you're wondering if this is a real product. It is, it really is. Cadbury has confirmed it.
.@Cadbury + Vegemite. The most talked about flavour combination yet… is real! #ChocPlusWhat pic.twitter.com/rU7S7CgYQi

Would you try Vegemite chocolate? Get ready, it hits the market on June 1st.

Laurie Simmons, a photographer, calls this project How We See. She turned women into living dolls by applying realistic makeup over their eyelids. Their eyes are shut. But in an unearthly fashion, they stare with empty gazes past the viewer. The Jewish Museum, which exibited the series, comments:
How We See draws an arc between portraits traded among classmates to the persona play that Doll Girls rapidly execute on smartphones, where the continuous feeds of Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter allow alternate versions of the self to appear, morph, and disappear.

Is there anything more ambiguously evil and threatening than a sock? Not to these cats. They recoil in horror, try to capture and conquer, stalk and pounce, but still, they don't appear to be winning the battle. Imagine their disgust during the holidays when their humans open up package after package of brand new terror. Oh, the humanity. Via Tastefully Offensive
Behind the unassuming Los Angeles home of vlogger Adam Kontras is a 9-hole miniature golf course...that he built! It's called GolfKon and he originally turned his 7,000-square-foot backyard into a mini golf course for his kids. These days, he primarily hosts private charity mini golf events on its synthetic grass play-ways.
Of note, GolfKon's seventh hole is called "Golf to the Future Hole" and it's inspired by the 1980s hit, Back to the Future, and it is complete with a 1/24 scale replica DeLorean "time machine." In fact, two of the movie's actors, Don Fullilove ("Gordie Wilson") and Claudia Wells ("Jennifer Parker"), have played the course!
You know what's even better? He owns a real DeLorean car and has it tricked out to look like the one from the movie. His "DeLorean Time Machine" is for rent and with one of the packages he offers, you can get picked up and dropped off in it to play mini golf at his place. How amazing would that be? (Hint: REALLY amazing!)
Gets some tips on how to maneuver "Evil Elvis" and the other GolfKon holes in this video:
See photos of all the course's holes at the GolfKon website, and don't forget to check out his DeLorean Time Machine.
South African artist and teacher Megan Maconochie wanted a novel 365 art project--a medium or theme that she would work in every day for a full year. She found the perfect approach: pencil shavings. Moconochie grinds colored pencils, then arranges the shavings into collages showing animals, cartoon characters, and people.

To create a collegial atmosphere, some companies provide free coffee for the office coffee pot. Others don't dock your time for restroom breaks. Similarly, the Tiens Group gives its employees vacations in France.
The Chinese firm employees about 12,000 people. It recently gave 6,400 of them a vacation in France, including a mass tour of the Louvre in Paris before a visit to the lovely Riviera city of Nice. The Guardian reports:
A huge Chinese company, Tiens Group, is treating more than half of its 12,000 employees to a four-day holiday in France and has booked up 140 hotels in the capital Paris as part of the package, a French foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Thursday.
According to Le Parisien newspaper, the trip by the 6,400-strong group includes a mass visit to the Louvre museum, and they are expected to spend €13m euros (US$15m) in total.
This is a forward-thinking move by billionaire company chairman Li Jinyuan that will no doubt enhance the performance of his employees and therefore massively increase profits. Surely other enterprising and visionary corporate leaders could do likewise to benefit their companies--for example, Alex Santoso, the owner of Neatorama.
