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. :) |
