If these terrifying little trick-or-treaters showed up on your doorstep, would you answer the door?
The artist did a fine job of showing how much more badass the old school horror slashers are than the newbies.
They're driven by pure evil, the new guys are just throwing a hissy fit!
(If you know the name of the artist please share, we'd love to give them credit)

I pity the fool who don't drink my tea! Mr. T's face might not be the most soothing thing to look at while you're brewing up your morning cup of tea, but the flavor is rich as solid gold.
Dunk him in your mug and watch him turn your water into tea, arms outstretched like he's chillin' in a hot tub. It's another fine novel-tea item from Donkey Creative Lab.

How do famous people make themselves look even more iconic? By dressing up as their favorite cultural icons, like Picasso playing Popeye or Michael Jackson sporting a Charlie Chaplin getup.

Ummm, why are these middle aged Japanese gentlemen trying to pose as teenage schoolgirls? Because they desperately need a ride to Tokyo Disneyland!
They may not pass for schoolgirls, but somewhere in Japan there's a guy with a fetish for middle aged men in skirts looking to hire them both for a private party. Blech!
Cosplayers have been doing their costumed thang on convention floors since (at least) the 70s, and even though their costumes didn't look as cool as they do now cosplayers were every bit as proud to be their favorite scifi show character.
Take a trip back to 1982 with this clip from the UK show Look North West, featuring the organizers of the Scouse Con One convention. It'll make you appreciate how far cosplay costuming has come over the last 30 years.

Don't let the long necks and docile faces fool you- giraffes are fierce combatants when it comes to battling for food and territory.
The giraffe's weapon of choice when fighting? Their long necks, which they brutally whip at each other like flexible batons.
It's rare to see on video, and kinda hard to watch!

Engineering students come up with some pretty wacky projects while they're learning their trade. Case in point, the Cat Car- a laser guided harness system that lets you control your cat via radio control device.
Here's more on this kooky device:
Cat Car uses a steering wheel controller with an attached Arduino and gyroscope / accelerometer, which communicate with a cat harness via an XBee. The movements control a servo on the back of the cat, which moves around a laser pointer, propelling the cat forward, thus allowing the user to remotely control the cat.
Sounds like a great idea, until your cat gets wise to the whole thing and chooses to ignor the laser. Hit the link if you want to see the Cat Car in action via a real life cat!
Japanese game shows have cornered the international oddity market, and they are so skilled at making mundane situations bizarre that it's hard to imagine Japanese audiences watching anything but strange.
