Why do the powers-that-be HATE US!?
http://mashable.com/2015/07/02/death-of-bubble-wrap/ Further proof that corporations are pure evil: they're killing Bubble Wrap. According to the Wall Street Journal, Bubble Wrap sales are falling amongst new competition in the market. Sealed Air Corp., inventors of Bubble Wrap (the gift that keeps on giving), are revamping their packing product to appeal to space-conscious manufacturers. This new product, called iBubble Wrap (good lord), will not pop when you squeeze it. This new, bastardized version of Bubble Wrap will cost less to ship to customers, which I guess is what matters if you have no joy in your soul. Bubble Wrap was invented in 1957, and has been easing the stress of moving ever since. https://s3.amazonaws.com/lowres.cart...aban95_low.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/lowres.cart...stn541_low.jpg |

Now that our favorite stress reliever (Bubble Wrap) will be confiscated from us by the evil corporate doods, we can turn to old episodes of Bob Ross on PBS painting "Happy Trees."
20 Bob Ross Quotes to Make Life Better 1.ON POLITICS "That's a crooked tree. We'll send him to Washington." 8. ON BEFRIENDING NATURE “There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.” 10. ON CHALLENGING THE HATERS “They say everything looks better with odd numbers of things. But sometimes I put even numbers—just to upset the critics." 20. ON MAKING MISTAKES “We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.” the rest at link.... http://mentalfloss.com/article/65452...ke-life-better http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/enh...79688902-5.jpg http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-conte...oss-Beauty.gif |

Man Shouts "F*ck That Alligator", Jumps Into Lake And Is Killed by Alligator
http://cdn.unilad.co.uk/wp-content/u...gatorkill1.jpg Tragedy struck in Texas when one man lost his life after being killed by an alligator after jumping into a lake. The man in question, 28 year old Tommie Woodward, mocked warning signs cautioning against getting in the water because of the alligator before jumping in and meeting a grizzly end. The rest of the story is here. I'm going to guess that he imbibed in a little (or a lot of) liquid courage before making this decision. It is sad for his loved ones. |

Want your mind blown?
It's no blue dress, but it's pretty freaky all the same. We're currently obsessed with this optical illusion, which comes to us by way of the Daily Mail Australia. Here's how it works: Stare at the white dot on the woman's nose for 15 seconds. Then gaze at the blank space to the right http://i.huffpost.com/gen/3160144/th...OMAN-570.jpg?7 13... 14... 15. Do you see it? The blank space transforms to a full-color image of a smiling brunette lady. And then, poof, she's gone. The illusion is the result of a negative afterimage. Dr. Juno Kim of the University of NSW School of Optometry and Vision Science explained the concept last week to the Mail. Humans have three channels for seeing color -- grayscale, red-green and blue-yellow -- that relay information from the back of the eye to the brain, Kim explained. "When you look at something that, for example, is yellow for a long period of time, you stimulate the cells that are positively sensitive to yellow," he said. But if those cells become over-stimulated -- say, from 15 seconds of staring at a fixed point -- then they won't immediately return to a normal state. "When you then direct your gaze at a uniform background... the cell doesn't return to its resting activity, it goes much lower than that," Kim told the Mail. In this case, the blue receptors in your eyes become fatigued, which then makes it easier to perceive the yellow tones you might see in the illusion of the woman's face. ***Note! Look at dot for the full 15 seconds! No cheating please. :) |

An airline with a cheeky sense of humor. I like it!
http://www.thestar.com/content/dam/t...letterbox.jpeg http://www.atissuejournal.com/wp-con...lula_whole.jpg A couple of examples of their flight announcements: "To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull the belt tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one by now, then you probably shouldn't be allowed out in public unsupervised." "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite." After a less than perfect landing on a Kulula flight to Johannesburg, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we will open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal." rofl |

Dear people who live in tiny fancy houses
You look so freakin’ happy in that Dwell Magazine article or Buzzfeed post, but c’mon, you can’t tell me that you don’t lie awake at night, your face four inches from the ceiling because the only place your bed fits is above the kitchen sink which also acts as your shower, and think, I’ve made a terrible mistake. Look, I’m not criticizing you. I commend you for making this giant leap. Since we humans seem comfortable with pillaging Mother Earth of all her resources, I believe more people should think like you. But 250 square feet? What the hell happens when your tiny house partner farts Mexican food farts, huh? Where do you escape to? Nowhere. You have nowhere to run. All you can do is walk three feet to the other end of the house and pray. ... I f’ing love the idea of downsizing and living a “simple life,” but seriously, where do you put your shit? You still have some clothing and shoes and towels and all that jazz, right? Or do you just wear overalls now? Overalls and Birkenstocks and one towel that you share with your entire family. Where do you wash that towel, hmm? Do you have a tiny river that runs behind your tiny house? I bet you do. I bet your whole Goddamn property is whimsical. And I know your house isn’t that clean all of the time. In your pictures, it looks like you only own a tiny sofa, several throw blankets & pillow, one cooking pan, one antique book and one framed photo of you laughing in front of your tiny house. the rest of her tongue-in-cheek rant: https://medium.com/i-m-not-trendy/de...s-21fdc639ce55 http://thetinylife.com/wp-content/up...t-of-house.jpg http://www.kiplinger.com/slideshow/r...inted-lady.jpg http://clv.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/10/...-edit1-lgn.jpg |

Welsh Government Responds To UFO Questions in Klingon.
Welsh Government Responds to UFO Questions in Klingon Jul 14, 2015, 12:24 PM ET By KAYLEE HECK If people want to know about UFO sightings in Wales, they better speak Klingon. When Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar submitted questions about UFO sightings at Cardiff Airport, a Welsh government spokesperson responded in Klingon, the fictional language from "Star Trek," according to the BBC. <SNIP> Millar also asked if any research was being funded to look into the reported sightings, the BBC reported. "Jang vIDa je due luq," the spokesperson replied, according to BBC. "'Ach ghotvam'e' QI'yaH devolve qaS.” More (including a translation): http://abcnews.go.com/International/...=32442011Welsh Government Responds to UFO Questions in Klingon HAH! http://41.media.tumblr.com/9c90b9d00...4cwro1_500.jpg |

A Mexican Immigrant Artist Is Selling Donald Trump Butt Plugs
The “Donald Trump Plug” (h/t Dangerous Minds) is a 3D model “printed in full color sandstone,” made of “fully colored material with a coarse finish and a delicate feel,” and yes, it allows you to stick Mr. Trump where the sun don’t shine.
You can read the story here. https://media.boingboing.net/wp-cont...p-buttplug.jpg Sorry. I couldn't resist. :giggle: |
