Egg Cartons Put To Use

Nirhana — Thu, 20 May 2010 20:04:33 +0000

The unique shape of the egg carton has always sort of appealed to me. It just looks like you could build a city out of it for some reason. Before I could capitalize on that kind of thinking though, these people beat me to the punch.

The Most Fun Bird Mating Dances

Nirhana — Thu, 13 May 2010 14:34:09 +0000

Somewhere along the line, people decided to change from doing a mating dance to just buying expensive jewelry or drinks to win a woman’s affection. I think this was a bad move. Not only does this make it m0re expensive for us males, but we never get to see what we’re capable of when truly motivated (you know what I’m saying).

Nirhana — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:39:32 +0000

Bacon is one of the most universally loved flavors in American cuisine. It’s crispy, it’s salty, and it’s just the right amount of “meaty.” Just like anything else though, the flavor can be taken too far. Once bacon floss, or bacon vodka starts to sound like a good idea to you, it’s probably time to really think about how much you love bacon. Check out where our bacon-obsession could land us!

Extreme Ironing. . . WTF?

Nirhana — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 21:10:04 +0000

What do you do when even the extreme sports stop feeling extreme for you? How can you actually up the intensity or difficulty of hang-gliding, or mountain climbing, or slacklining? I suppose you could try to get some ironing done at the same time. . .

Roller Coaster Faces

Nirhana — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:15:53 +0000

I think that it’s mean to put cameras on roller coasters. I mean between the g-forces, the wind, the excitement, and the pure terror, who could be expected to still look half-way normal? I suppose that’s most of the fun though.

With a little bit of a search, it’s easy to see that we are definitely not the only hip hop lovers, we might not even be the best at it. Here’s the rest of the world’s answer to our American ignorance.

10 Bizzare Pairs of High-Heels

Nirhana — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 20:02:15 +0000

High-heels take the cake when it comes to impractical shoes. They are dangerous, often very elaborate and needlessly complicated, and even painful for the wearers. It seems that the only reason that high-heels even exist is to get more and more complicated and silly. So let’s just take it to its logical extreme right now, and be done. Here’s where we are headed.

Mind-Blowing Hedge Sculptures

Nirhana — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:47:57 +0000

We all know what kind of people trim hedge sculptures: cranky old men who don’t have anything better to do with their lives after retirement. But what would it look like if a real, serious artist were to take up the task?
