Science Tattoos

I really like tattoos so I am always drawn in to pictures of them. They be cringe worthy and make me wonder why on earth someone would get that permanently inked on their body or beautiful, artistic examples of self expression. Science Tattoo Emporium Blog has pictures of tattoos that are all connected in someway to science. I don't know what some of them are (ok alot of them), but they are pretty cool.

1 in 4 mortgages 'underwater'

Research released in September says that 10.7 million homes are "underwater" meaning that what is owed is more than the house is worth. Another 2.3 million homes are within 5% of being underwater. That is 28% of all residential housing according to the article in CNN Money. WTF? I don't know who is more to blame the bank industry for making these loans or the people who signed on the dotted line. If they didn't understand what they were getting into they shouldn't have signed the papers! If the government is going to take care of all their problems then I think they should do the same for student loans!

"Writer Evan Tried to Vanish: Here's What Happened"

This writer for Wired apparently wrote an article on a man who vanished and then decided to try and do it himself. He had two months to plan this out before disappearing and probably would have succeeded if he wasn't following some of the groups on Facebook trying to track him down! Apparently he couldn't handle being on his own for that long and started slipping. Hopefully he never witnesses a crime and they put him in witness protection because he will not last!

Sagada's Hanging Cemetery

I can't really tell you how I ended up at Atlas Obscura, but it is an interesting site. One place I had never heard of was Sagada, Philippines Hanging Cemetery. It is apparently tradition for the residents to hand carve coffins and hang them on the side of a cave either inside or outside.

100 Strangers

100 Strangers Project

Hmm, I am thinking of trying this project. The goal is take a hundred photos of people you don't know. Maybe this would be easier than Belinda's 365 Project!

Penguin Feeding

I am going to be in NOLA next weekend for work and am going to stay a few extra days to hang out with friends. I was checking out family friendly events for Halloween because Leigh will be with me and the New Orleans Online mentioned "Boo at the Zoo". I went to the Audubon Zoo website to get some information. Unfortunately it is the weekend before so we are going to miss it. However, while I was checking out some info on the zoo something on the right hand side caught my eye.


I want to know exactly what is going on with this penguin feeding? Are they feeding the penguins to the sharks? Because that is kinda what is implied by the image beside it!

Ghost-hunting Advice from the Pros

What makes someone a ghost hunting pro? Is it being able to describe ghost hunting and the instruments without laughing?! I can't really read the CNN article without laughing and from past experience at the ghost hunting convention in Jefferson, TX a couple years ago I can't listen to someone describing their "ghostly" experiences without laughing!

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

The sequel to Boondock Saints is coming out in theaters at the end of the month!!! Living in Boondock, Louisiana doesn't look like we will get the movie at any of the surrounding theaters, but who knows maybe the RFC will pick it up in Shreveport. There have been rumors about a sequel for years and they are finally true!

National Geographic Traveler Drives of Lifetime

While I was waiting for some pictures to download I came across this list and "Creole Country" was on the list and it was referring to this area. I was not to surprised and I think it was great that we made the list. I was however very disappointed that the images they used were not from this area! If I am wrong and you can tell me where they came from let me know!

20 Weirdest TV Interviews

I didn't really have time to watch many clips on Nerve's list of The Twenty Weirdest TV Interviews of All Time, but Richard Simmons' Exploding Steamer was one I could not pass up. Richard is a true salesman and I was not disappointed!



Found the list through the Pop Candy Blog

Collegiate Snuggie

This is crazy! These Snuggies are taking over the world! You can now get Snuggies of your favorite college teams. For some reason I think these things are going to sell quickly and that is scary. If I actually went to football games (haven't been one to in years) I would be scared to see these.

Snuggies

This blanket with sleeves is so ridiculous that it is hard to believe it is real. Every time I see it I feel like a SNL skit is playing during commercials. And since they weren't ridiculous enough to begin with they now have Snuggies for dogs! WTF! Dogs have fur coats why would they need a blanket with arms or would it be legs for dogs? And does it have four sleeves since dogs have four legs? Ok, I just looked for a the commercial on youtube and found a commercial of the product for dogs. It only has two sleeves I discovered. I wish I could find the new commercial with the dog sitting up with a snuggie on reading a book! Here is the video though of the Snuggies for Dogs.
