This is pretty awesome. If I ever lose my hair, I’m going to go with a horseshoe mohawk, like some kind of bird of prey. (tags: scotlandhair losstattoos2013-01-05 )
It looks like the elephants and turtle were pre-made, but I think the Disc itself was homemade. I so have to make one of these when we have kids. (tags: toysdiscworldterry pratchettvia tumblr2013-01-05 )
How the university of Chicago ended up with a package addressed to Indiana Jones. The most interesting bit, from what I read, is that if you can put a package with what looks like canceled postage into the delivery stream, the post office will accept it and continue it on its way.

Interesting, the way the various demands on and of coins determines how they’re made. My main thought, as I read the article, was the lengths some collectors would go to to get their hands on these test coins. (tags: coinsvia LJ2013-01-05 )
The idea is great, but the actual execution was wonderful. This same person has also done Jame Bond, the Doctor, and others. (tags: wowbatmanmorphimage editing2013-01-05 )
I just love the sheer audacity of this. “Yeah boss, we’re not going to work today. What are you going to do about it?” (tags: via boingboingfunnyspace program2013-01-05 )
The ban on Kinder Eggs in the U.S. is stupid. The reasoning is that you’re not supposed to have a food item with a non-edible object inside it, but that works on the idea that you might accidentally swallow the non-edible object. Have you ever seen a Kinder Egg? The egg with the toy is between one and two inches across. You’d have to shove the whole thing in your mouth, like some kind of stupid college-party stunt, to accidentally swallow the toy. Cracker-Jack toys are far more dangerous in that respect.
