The Most Epic Way To Sell A '93 Volvo Station Wagon

(Video Link)

What’s the best way to sell a 1993 Volvo station wagon? Some might say local advertising, or through a friend or family member, or even at an auction, but Swedish art director Castor wasn’t about to resort to such mundane methods when it came to selling his beloved persimmon colored Volvo.

Castor went full epic with his sales pitch, creating a cinematic masterpiece that properly showcases his used vehicle for what it is- a mega machine built by mechanical wizards, which rolls around town on spinsy winsies and may or may not somehow contain hepatitis b. Shut up and take my money!

China's Strange Proposal For An Undersea Train That Connects To The U.S.

Chinese inventors are known for their wild ideas, like gun powder, ice cream and the compass, but now that China has established itself as an industrial superpower they’re taking those wild ideas to the end of the line.

A report in the Beijing Times states that China is developing a plan to build an 8,000+ mile railroad connecting China to Russia, Canada and the United States, with an over 125 mile stretch spanning the Bering Strait…along the bottom of the ocean.

This bold proposal may not seem like such a bad idea until you consider that the “proposed undersea route would be more than five times longer than the current longest underwater tunnel, the one under the English Channel", not to mention the mountains of red tape to wade through and billions of dollars needed to pull off such a feat of railroad engineering.

If railroads were made of dreams China would have a line that stretches clear to the moon and back...

Artist Creates Portraits Using Single Sheet Of Mesh Fabric

Tulle is a sheer mesh fabric generally used for various crafts, or sewing projects where a bit of sheer color is needed, but an industrious artist named Benjamin Shine has discovered another good use for this niche fabric- he uses tulle to create detailed portraits.

Benjamin creates highly detailed, and incredibly realistic, portraits using a single folded sheet of tulle, creating the shadows on each portrait by layering the fabric and ironing it down in all the right places.

It's amazing what Benjamin is capable of creating with just one sheet of tulle and a regular old steam iron!

A Cthulhuian Font You Can Download And Use To Summon Strange Beings

When the Great Old Ones have something to say they don’t wanna speak no English, they want a language that properly conveys their slime drenched derision for mankind, a language that makes humans think of tentacles and strange polyp shaped beings when they hear it being spoken aloud.

Few mortals have ever had the temerity to speak the names of the Great Old Ones aloud, much less try to speak in their native tongue, but a foolish mortal calling himself StapletonMcTavish has unlocked the secret of the Cthulhuian alphabet and he has released it upon mankind via the internet.

Download it, craft tales with it, and pray its very presence doesn't drive you insane!


The Most Dangerous Game Of Crocodile Dentist Ever

(Video Link)

There was a time when any videos featuring sick and crazy games, whether from a televised show or simply played for the sake of recording on video, would immediately elicit the reaction “only the Japanese…” and a knowing nod from those who had seen the bizarre video hilarity being exported from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Since then we've made our very own American jackasses rich and famous, and we've fully embraced the gonzo show so much that it doesn't seem so crazy anymore.

Then some Japanese guys came up with the idea to install razorblade teeth in their game of Crocodile Dentist, and they brought that gonzo show grand prize home to Japan once again!

(It should go without saying but don't try this at home, unless you're tired of having fingertips!)

Classical Sculptures With A Glitch - The Works Of Enrico Ferrarini

Italian sculptor Enrico Ferrarini has a unique style way of creating that bring classical sculptural techniques into the twenty first century, a way to incorporate new methods and techniques into the tried and true workflow of the past, and his progressive sculptures are also quite radical looking.

Enrico has studied at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, which houses Donatello and Michaelangelo’s David, so the classical influence on his work is undeniably present, but Enrico’s figures are caught in a sort of glitch state that makes them somewhat terrifying to behold yet so visually compelling that it's hard to look away.

Beware Broadway - Here Comes Godzilla: The Musical!

(Video Link)

Godzilla is the most destructive dinosaur-like creature to ever stomp his way across the silver screen, and he doesn’t seem to care who he steps on as he tap dances across cityscapes full of helpless humans. Sounds like the makings of a great musical, doesn’t it?!  

Cinefix is bringing a new kind of monster to the musical stage with Godzilla: The Musical, a lovingly crafted tale starring singing scientists, an intrepid news reporter and the king of the kaiju himself, Godzilla!

Can the Broadway stage support the weight of this heavy musical theatre mashup?

Early Morning Sober Raves Are Raging In Williamsburg

Glow sticks and furry boots weren’t generally considered an integral part of raves in the early 90s, but by the late 90s raves had become a dayglo nightmare full of drug addled lunacy and half naked people, and the dancing was replaced by heavy petting and selfies.

Enter the newest rave inspired sensation coming straight out of Williamsburg- an early morning drug free rave. Part dance party, part aerobics, all high energy without the high. It's called Morning Gloryville, and once a month it's the place to be if you want to dance your cares, and your fat, away.

To some this may seem like a ridiculous trend, but to those who don’t like gyms when they want to sweat, or clubs when they want to get down, these sober raves are a great alternative to traditional cardio workouts.

Chalkboard Art Masterpieces Created By Anonymous Students

Artists don't normally need to keep strict schedules, there are deadlines and milestone submissions but otherwise most graphic artists don’t need to punch a clock, but one particular pair of artists have a weekly schedule they're happy to maintain.

They call themselves Dangerdust, and they’ve been blowing people’s minds at Columbus College of Art and Design with their amazing chalkboard art pieces, which they create under cover of darkness for all to admire on a weekly basis.

This rogue art duo ain't doin' no harm, they're just trying to share their incredible art skills with their fellow classmates, and like their artistic idols they've chosen to remain anonymous, creating their chalkboard art masterpieces simply for their fellow classmates to enjoy.

11 Year Old Boy Creates Amazingly Detailed Nature Drawings

(Video Link)

Drawing is a skill that comes really easy to some people, and with time and practice they are able to render hand drawn illustrations on a masterful level, but a select few are actually born with the ability to draw on a higher level.

11-year-old Dusan Krtolica is one of the lucky few born with an amazing drawing ability, and the incredibly detailed drawings of nature he spends hours creating on a daily basis reveal both his advanced drawing skills and his nearly encyclopedic knowledge of animals.

Dusan clearly has a bright future ahead of him as an artist, but he says he would like to study and become a zoologist, so perhaps we'll get to see a fully illustrated guide to the animal kingdom created by Dusan in the near future.

A Folding Umbrella That Looks Like A Head Of Lettuce

Imagine heading to an outdoor market to grab some lettuce, a new pair of sunglasses, some bootleg DVDs and a lucky bamboo plant before heading home to make it a night to remember.

You grab all the things on your list then hunt down a head of lettuce on the way out, but the only lettuce you can find is this clever lettuce shaped folding umbrella by Japanese retailer Koncent called the Vegetabrella.

Your dinner party is about to be ruined, but as it starts to rain you realize that finding the Vegetabrella was a stroke of luck, and now your bootleg DVDs won't get wet! Who needs leafy green vegetables when you have the Vegetabrella?!

Sea Anemone Eats Bird, Inspires A Paper On Marine Ornithology

What you see in this photo isn't some freaky Pop Art sculpture depicting a Thanksgiving meal after a nuclear war, it's a photo of a sea anemone chowing down ever so slowly on a Cormorant chick.

This gruesome and unlikely anemone mealtime incident was discovered by oceanographer Kim Martini and her co-worker Lisa Guy while looking through a photo archive, and Guy was so in awe of what she saw here, an "apex predator being consumed by an animal that doesn't seem to really do anything", that she wrote a paper about the incident for the journal Marine Ornithology.

I’ve always pictured anemones chomping down on unwitting sea monkeys, but apparently they’ll eat anything they can wrap their spiky little tube around-including an unsuspecting bird.
