lazy weekend
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend:
Eating on a toilet never sounds appetizing to me, but apparently the owners of WDuck seem to think differently. I suppose sitting on a toilet while eating dinner is better than eating your dinner from a toilet bowl. Either way... disgusting. Please tell me these adjustable breast implants are a joke. I thought those pump high-tops from the 90s were silly, but these implants are just plain ridiculous. A Chinese man can write 10 Arabic numerals simultaneously with his 10 fingers. I wish I could see a video of this. I dislike setting my cellphone on the floor when it's charging or stretching the cord so that it sits on our buffet making a possible strangulation device. I suppose I could use a different outlet, but I like to charge my phone in a place where I won't forget it when I'm leaving the house. The Load-ding is exactly what I need -- a hammock for my gadgets. Here's a neat trick: Clean your dishwasher with Kool-Aid. If you enjoy bathing in gelatin (yeah, because we all do) then I suppose you will enjoy Gelli Baff. "Gelli Baff turns a normal bath into a pool of brightly-colored gelatinous goop. Its a powder that holds 400 times its weight in water, similar to the substance used in disposable diapers. A packet of dissolver is included to turn the goop back into water when it’s time to rinse."
Today is Friday the 13th. Hopefully none of you will experience any bad luck or other weirdness today. Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this 'finally feeling like Spring' weekend. See how Sara Thacher created cast sugar plates and salt cups for a dinner party she held for five of her good friends. I'm not entirely grooving on the salt cups because I don't like things real salty, however, I think the whole idea of edible serving pieces is quite creative. Geneticists from Oxford University and Peninsula Medical School in Exeter are claiming they have linked a specific gene to obesity. Kurt Vonnegut died at the age of 84 from brain injuries after a recent fall. Let's remember Mr. Vonnegut. Geneva watchmaker Romain Jerome SA has created a "Titanic-DNA" collection in which the luxury wristwatches are made from the steel and coal from the Titanic which sank in 1912. Based on our latest BlogCadre poll, most of you believe the egg came before the chicken. Well, I think we are all wrong -- Maybe it was the dinosaur that came first. It's strange to think that the T. Rex and the chicken are related in some way. Here are some outrageous origami creations. Have a good weekend!
To celebrate this Easter weekend, here are some Easter-related links to pass the time away. Make your own Peeps with this Peeps Marshmallow Maker. Create your own custom-dyed Easter eggs without the mess. Design custom wrappers that will wrap around your eggs. Watch as Raiden Peep and Random Peep fight to the death in Mortal Peep Fight!!! The Easter Peeps are invading Earth! Since 1994 each state sends a decorated egg to the White House for display. Check out the 2007 Easter Egg Collection here. [via Neatorama] Happy Easter weekend, 'Cadre!
If your weekend outlook is rain, rain and more rain here are some Lazy Weekend Links to pass some time away. Harry Potter fans, check out the covers of the final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (There are two covers, adult and children's editions. The cover pictured is the adult edition.) Spinner has come out with the 20 Worst Lyrics Ever. The lyrics are humorous, but what's more humorous is the commentary written by the Spinner Staff. Here is a useful guide on when to toss things out. Whoa, I have a lot of work cut out for me this weekend. Neave Games has put together remakes of retro arcade games such as Asteroids, Frogger and Space Invaders. It's a nice compilation and well-worth playing. I hate playing Monopoly because alliances and enemies are made amongst your friends for the 8 hours a single game is played. It's ugly. Well, if you follow the actual Monopoly rules, playing Monopoly should be painless. Feast your eyes on the $1,490 Optimus Maximus keyboard. Slideshow. Enjoy your weekend!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this Daylight Saving Time weekend: Piece of advice: Dont' spit in someone's face, especially in San Francisco -- It has been ruled as criminal assault in a recent case. A pilot intentionally crashes his airplane into his in-laws' Indiana home. His eight-year-old daughter was also on the plane. Both father and daughter died. A woman was in the house at the time but was unharmed. To add to my Sesame Street flashback phase recently, here is a classic clip showing us how crayons are made. A dolphin in Japan received a prosthetic tail after losing its previous tail to a skin disease. Here is a very cool collection of sketches done in the NYC subway. [via delicious] Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to change your clocks!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend:
An Argentinian couple has placed a paid announcement in a major newspaper "expressing their desire for some social neglect," meaning, they don't want to be invited to anymore weddings. Brussels Airlines is adding one more ball to their 13-ball logo on all tails and sides of their Airbuses because it was scaring superstitious customers away. Heart disease is the number one killer in women -- take care of your heart. Forget iPods. Bring the Boombox back. Check out this small collection of vintage Hungarian commercials I found on YouTube: sausages, milk, bug killer, workgloves. Did anyone else notice that the milk looked a little thick? Who eats that much sausage? And do people really hold hands a lot when they are wearing workgloves? I had an R2-D2 cake at my 5th birthday, but no R2-D2 trash can. Happy weekend!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this fine weekend: This has got to be one of the worst product placement ads I've seen. I don't foresee many people buying Toyotas in the near future. Scientists have found evidence that 4,300 years ago Chimpanzees in West Africa used stone tools. The original Karate Kid cast from the 80s reunited to put together a music video for the group No More Kings for their song "Sweep The Leg". The video stars Billy Zabka who played "Johnny", the bad boy of the Cobra Kai. Here is a 3D Lego model of M.C. Escher's Relativity. It was created by Andrew Lipson. [via digg] Believe it or not, a 5-year-old girl gave birth. "Not possible," you say? Read the article, look at the pictures, and you decide. [via digg] Happy weekend!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend: Kids have yet another reason why they should be afraid to go to the dentist. [via growabrain] A man in Germany found a human finger in an Italian chocolate (brand was not given). Police say it may have gone unnoticed because the fingertip, complete with fingernail, could have been mistaken for a nut. Check out this gallery of funny and unique mailboxes. [via MonkeyFilter] Here is an amazing photo of a full circle rainbow. The photo was taken in Canberra on top of the Telstra Tower. [via digg] Have a fabulous weekend Cadre!
