So this Spanish organization created a poster that to adults looks like a public awareness campaign, but to kids it shows a number they can call for help. I can’t help but love physical, real-world hacks like this. (tags: child abuse2013-06-21lenticularspainvia tumblr )

A friend of ours lent us this book a little while back, and I love it. It’s like a drunken angry guy at the bus stop is telling you all these great world myths. I particularly love this one. (tags: eurydicemyths2013-06-21ancient greece )
These French hip-hop dancers just start dancing in a street in Japan. I’m sure it was all pre-planned, but it’s so infectiously joyful I don’t care. (tags: japanhip-hop2013-06-21francedancevideo )
Brassft Punk, a New Orleans brass band that does Daft Punk covers. Awesome and definitely worth a listen to. (tags: musicbrass band2013-06-21daft punk )
Not only is this fantastic news for millions of back pain sufferers, I think it’s awesome the way that science continues to discover new things about the stuff that "everybody knows". (tags: antibioticsvia boingboing2013-06-21medicineback pain )
I love this, and when I again find myself in a position where I’m carrying far too many keys I’ll definitely make one for myself. (tags: keys2013-06-21keyringdiy )
This guy spent month and months, and hundreds of dollars, to make his girlfriend a light-up engagement ring, with hidden LEDs and an inductive power source. He details the entire build process, and explains his thinking along the entire way, in this wonderful article. (tags: via boingboing2013-06-21jewelryLEDdiy )
Say what you will about Coca-Cola as a product or as a company, they do hire some truly creative ad agencies. For this ad they placed two camera and touch-screen enabled machines in shopping malls in India and Pakistan. They then invited passers-by to play games with someone at the machine in the other country, and they both got a free Coke at the end of it. Cute, and heartwarming, but not likely to affect any real change. But still awesome in several ways. (tags: pakistanadvertising2013-06-21indiacoca-colavideovia tumblr )
I love YouTube mashups, I really do. And this one is particularly well done. It uses the similarity of the guitar beat in Queen’s "Fat Bottomed Girls" and The Beatles’ "Come Together" to blend them seamlessly together. I have to believe that if Freddy and John were still alive they’d have done this themselves in the studio. (tags: the beatlesqueen2013-06-21mash-upvideo )
When they say "on the Web" they really mean "on Tumblr", but it’s still a really fun search tool geared to animated GIFS. (tags: animated gifsearch2013-06-21via tumblr )
I’m still enjoying the hell out of The Trilling Adventure Hour, and I was fascinated by this article about the process that went into the making of the musical episode of Sparks Nevada. (tags: musicthrilling adventure hourradio showssparks nevada2013-06-21 )
Pretty self-explanatory; just a bunch of random internet wits trying to out-do one another and being hilarious in the meantime. (tags: via boingboingredditfunny2013-06-21slogans )
