Weddings are nerve wracking enough as it is, so why would the bride and groom want to darken that magical day with the same old boring ceremony leading to the same old reception serving the same old cake?
The wedding ceremony might need to be timed and regulated but the reception is all about having fun, and nothing says fun-loving newlyweds quite like a hilarious cake topper.
There's a topper for the groom who took more than a little convincing to walk down the aisle
Just when you think people are losing interest in sci-fi and drifting towards Romantic Vampire Historical Fiction or Bizarro Epic Fantasy Poems some Doctor from beyond the reaches of time, or a brand war in the stars, comes back around to spark interest in sci-fi again.
Celebrate your love of all things sci-fi, and those particularly geeky LOLs only science fiction can deliver, with these witty sci-fi themed t-shirts from that intergalactic trading post known as the NeatoShop!
Does the image of John Candy in that cat dog alien costume come to mind every time you hear the word Barf? Does the word Vespa make you think of a princess from the planet Druidia instead of a motor scooter? Do you imagine Pizza the Hutt is on the other end of the line when you call in an order to Pizza Hut?
Then you have great taste in sci-fi spoofs, and Spaceballs on the brain (which you should probably get checked out).
You may have seen Spaceballs a million times, with the Barf t-shirt and Lone Starr mug to prove it, but there's bound to be some new factoid to discover about your favorite sci-fi spoof on GeekTyrant's 10 Fun Facts About Spaceballs.
For example- everyone knows Michael Winslow did his own voice effects in the film, but did you know the vocal work he did for this hilarious scene saved the production a thousand bucks? Now that's putting your money where your mouth is, Michael Winslow!
People build houses and buildings for all sorts of good reasons, and a few bad ones, but building a house just for spite? Now that’s a new one!
Jerry Seinfeld once tried to return a jacket out of spite for the salesman who sold it to him, and that didn’t work out very well for him, but spite will make you do crazy things as you’ll see in 9 Houses Built Just For Spite, vintage mental_floss circa 2013.
It is there that you will discover how one man dealt with noisy people using the alley next to his house, and how a doctor guy from Maryland kept the city from building a road through his property, and how this other dude in Nevada dealt with living next door to his enemy.
Spoiler alert- every story involves a house being built, and some spite! (Insert obligatory spite as building material joke here)
Despite all the adventures they'd gone through as a group, and all the crazy things they'd seen in their young lives, there was still something so magical about riding a sky bison home by the silvery light of the moon. Airbending was hard work, fighting to save the world even harder, but when Aang discovered he didn't have to do anything but relax and enjoy the ride when he sat atop Appa he fell in love with sky bison flight!

We now officially live in that far off future age presented by that most radical of 80s sci-fi flicks Back To The Future Part II, and yet the reality of 2015 looks a bit boring when compared to a future full of self tying Nikes and Mattel hoverboards.
Well, if you think our world is boring compared to the film wait 'til you get a load of the futuristic Hill Valley tech that didn’t make it into the film.
The film's "future consultant" Tim Flattery and concept artist Edward Eyth came up with all kinds of crazy cool gear, robotic technology and far out vehicles for possible use in the film, most of which stayed tucked away in Edward's sketchbooks.
Some of the concepts are a bit silly as you'd expect from the comedic tone of the film, but a Mobile Automated Hot Dog Vending Unit? Now that's just putting robo-technology to good use!

Children are born curious, and as soon as they discover that taboo subject called “sex” they can’t help but wonder why it is kept hidden from them and what it’s all about. However, they’re not always ready for the answers they receive, and when things get a bit too raw for young minds those curious kids get totally grossed out!
This extremely entertaining vid by Cut Video shows the raw reactions of kids being told about the birds and the bees for the first time by their parents, proving that curiosity will lead to the death of your childhood innocence every time!
The 70s were a rather shaggy time in the world of rock music, and rock icons like David Crosby, Eric Clapton and Frank Zappa were still letting their freak flags fly high, living that rock 'n' roll lifestyle with reckless abandon.
These guys were, like, totally heavy, man, and so far out that it’s easy to forget they actually sprang from someone’s loins.
In 1971 LIFE Magazine photographer John Olson was tasked with shooting a portrait series featuring rock and roll royalty, so he took a wildly unexpected approach- he accompanied these rock legends to their parents’ homes.
Zappa doesn't seem too happy about revealing his parents' purple den of passion to the world, and Clapton doesn't dig spending afternoons drinking tea with Mum when he'd rather be out doing Cocaine with Cream. However, David Crosby seems strangely calm about the whole thing, maybe he popped a few 'ludes before the shoot?
Baby products are generally supposed to be more useful than visually appealing to adults, and when we think of baby products three things usually spring to mind- soft, supportive and pastel colored.
Products designed to stimulate an infant's senses, to make their little lives comfortable, and to help parents care for their child will become popular among parents, while other products end up becoming the baby butt of a joke.
Here are ten bizarre baby products that put the "Wha?!" in watching your child grow up:
1. Baby Snuggie Sweater-
There are all kinds of pouch style torso coverings available for parents, and most look comfortable for both parent and child, but this snuggie style monstrosity looks like it's really uncomfortable for your baby. However, if you want to dress your kid up like a chestburster for Halloween this creepy vest getup is a good place to start!
It's a good thing most infants can't see a three dimensional view of the world until they're around five months old, because if they could see these horrifying disembodied hands holding them at night they probably wouldn't be able to sleep!
Keeping your infant's bottom dry is important to help prevent diaper rash, but there has to be a better way to achieve this dryness besides holding a fan to your baby's butt until it's dry!
It's also unlikely that a baby is going to just lie there waiting patiently while you fan their butt, so something tells me these generally end up being used by mom and dad as a portable fan during those sweltering summer days.
Street photography is all about spontaneity- standing ready to snap a pic when the perfect moment presents itself and getting it right the first time because you won’t have a second chance.
The beauty of street photography is the fact that each pic captures a unique moment in time, a moment that probably won’t ever present itself the same way again.
Another one of the virtues of street photography is the faithful representation of the world’s citizens, who are captured while they go about their business rather than when they've had a chance to pose and put on a face.
Self taught street photographer Tao Liu combines the staples of street photography with an amazing sense of timing to create compelling, and extremely entertaining, photos of life on the mean streets of Heifei.
Tao is a water meter reader who spends his days on the streets of Heifei, and now that his images of city life in Heifei have gone viral he's able to share his unique view of the Chinese city with the world.
Being a model can make you feel like a mannequin- everybody stares at you while you pose in clothes, then people dress you up, telling you how to stand and what look you should have on your face. It’s enough to make a model feel like they’re losing touch with their humanity, like a plastic doll set out on display for a night then put away in a box until the next fashion show.
Photographer Giampaolo Sgura decided to take this plastic doll theme and put a fun spin on it by shooting supermodels posing as Barbie type plastic dolls in their packages for the December/January 2015 issue of Vogue Paris.
Giampaolo’s series approaches the plastic posing people theme with a sense of whimsy, and yet the underlying idea of models being seen as little more than visual objects challenges viewers to think about how the world looks through a model's eyes.
There were many Great Old Ones, but none is more famous than that squid-faced glutton Cthulhu! His mortal minion H.P. Lovecraft helped spread tales of his awesomeness and overwhelming physical beauty, thus Cthulhu rose to the top of the fictional god food chain.
Nowadays Cthulhu is a household name, and he drives people wild with the help of wearable advertising, some of which is available right here in the NeatoShop!
It all started with tales thought to have been told by a man named Howard Phillips Lovecraft
These strange creatures were said to have come from the cosmos to subjugate humanity, and the people who help them achieve their nefarious goals lived all around us
There is one character archetype in the world of pop culture that is so specific, so exact in attitude and circumstance, that it needs a combination adjective to describe it properly- sadorable.
Sadorable characters are basically a combination of Jungian archetypes The Innocent and The Orphan-they are adorable in looks and attitude yet powerless to control their sad little lives, with the power to thaw frozen hearts and inspire otherwise rotten people to do good.
Here’s an exploration of nine characters from movies and TV shows that epitomize the idea of “sadorable”:
Leopold Stotch, aka Butters, is an innocent victim-he’s constantly getting punished by his parents for crimes he didn't commit, the other kids in South Park pick on him incessantly, and his only solace is the time he spends as his villainous alter ego Professor Chaos.
Yet somehow the sadorable little Butters continues to confess to crimes he didn't commit and let kids bag on him just to make everyone else happy, making young Butters tops in the world of animated TV show sadorability.
Bobby Boucher, aka The Waterboy, is a grown man who lives with his mother in a swampside estate fit for a frog, his wardrobe looks like something you'd find in a thrift store dumpster, and he’s got a stutter that makes him sound like Elmer Fudd’s Creole cousin.
Despite all these setbacks he's still caring and happy to help others, which ups his sadorability factor by at least two touchdowns and a field goal.
It’s a wonder Hans Moleman lived long enough to reach his senior years, because he’s constantly being targeted for pranks, aimed at by angry drivers, struck by flying objects and generally serving as the butt of many jokes around Springfield.
And yet somehow, despite all of the bad life throws his way, Hans remains begrudgingly optimistic, continuing to make his way through a cartoon world hell bent on burying him before he can officially retire!
The furry critters who live all around us are looking forward to a new year full of fun, food and friends, and they're so happy they can hardly contain themselves!
Animals aren't generally very good at hiding their emotions, so when they're upset everyone knows it, but when all is right in their world they can't help but smile the day away
There's something about seeing an animal in the throes of pure, unadulterated bliss that makes everything seem right in the world, and their love of the simple things serves as a reminder of what's really important in life- yummy snacks!
We humans often rush through life trying to carve out our own happy place, but in the process we lose touch with the simple things that used to make us happy, like swinging or rocking the day away on the playground
