Penguin “Jaws”

rockhopperpenguin

Penguins may lack teeth, but they have backward facing spines in their throats that grip and guide fish down.

This photo of a rockhopper penguin was taken by Will Burrard-Lucas on the Falkland Islands.

I think I may just have a line on the Syfy Channel‘s next cheesy movie…

Woman Hospitalized to Remove Jammed Deer Tongue She Had Used To Um, You Know…

SAM_1034

The Arkansas woman, who’s name has not been released, went to her gynecologist complaining that her discharge had a “very bad odor”. [T]he results of the pap smear were not human. During the exam, the doctor inserted his speculum, and scooped out a large piece of loose, decaying flesh.

The woman finally confessed. After her husband’s recent hunting trip, he brought home a deer and gutted and dressed it in their garage. She admitted to seeing the tongue, admired its length, and had snuck off with it to use it as a pleasuring aid.

She didn’t remember leaving it up there.

Wait…didn’t remember? Come on, people, necrophilia is no excuse for lack of basic hygiene.

Hand Making a Traditional Japanese Wooden Doll

Screen Shot 2014-10-29 at 10.59.40 PM

These Japanese wooden dolls may be too precious for us to play with, but the laborious steps behind the creation of these hand-crafted dolls have left us intrigued.

In the four-minute video, a Japanese man is seen carving each wooden doll carefully by the window of his workshop before painting delicate strokes on its body to create its features and other decorative elements.

I can’t watch this without immediately thinking of the anime Vampire Princess Miyu and this episode with the creepy dolls. Though at least this craftsman here is smart enough not to give his dolls arms.

One Ring Fire Ring

il_570xN.654618074_t93b

As huge fans of the Lord of the Rings series and one who enjoys campfires we thought why not combine them.

Using the Black Speech from the one ring as a fire ring seemed to perfect. The font glows perfectly with a nicely lit fire under a starry night.

Partial transcription of:

Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

For those whose Black Speech is a little rusty:

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Sky Barges and Soldiers of the Future

For 2.5 years straight (SOCIAL LIFE IS FOR POSERS!) I’ve been eating, breathing and well essentially mating with photoshop and so When my Education is finished I hope to become a 2d art concept artist preferably for a fancy computergamecompany.

Seems like a noble goal. I might be kind of biased, admittedly.

The Grave Robber and Historian Dug up Little Girls to Dress Them for Birthday Parties

Anatoly-Moskvin-1

Russian Anatoly Moskvin dug up 150 graves so he could dress the corpses of dozens of young girls for birthday parties.

He then took them home and turned them into a grisly mummy collection, dressing the bodies and skeletons in stockings and dresses, and even making one look like a teddy bear.

Moskvin, who speaks 13 languages and was described by some as a genius, also gave the mummified corpses names and organized birthday parties for them.

Anatoly-Moskvin

Before he was finally arrested he wrote a piece for a publication on necrology to explain his interest in the dead.

He said that when he was 12, he came across a funeral procession whose participants forced him to kiss the face of a dead 11-year-old girl.

Anatoly-Moskvin-2

Anatoly-Moskvin-3

Not surprisingly, three years after Moskvin’s arrest a judge has ruled him to still not be mentally fit enough to stand trial, leaving him locked up in a psychiatric clinic.

I swear, this shit you simply cannot make up.

Zombie Fortification Cabin (ZFC-1)

tmg-article_tall

The ongoing threat of an imminent zombie apocalypse has inspired Tiger Log Cabins to create the world’s first zombie proof log cabin.

The Zombie Fortification Cabin (ZFC-1) has considered all forms of possible zombie attacks. Not only is the building strong and secure enough to stop any zombie from getting inside, but even zombie invaders were to breach the boundaries of your land, the design is intelligent enough to give you fantastic and safe vantage points to use any artillery you have whether it’s light or dark outside.

Bedroom 01

Weapon Room 02

Garden 02

Weapons not included. Kind of a disappointment, really, especially since there don’t actually appear to be an artillery hardpoints.
