Zombie attack to collapse civilization

He's not all that smart, but this zombie is a handsome dude.

I know some zombies, and they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Take Betty Bones, for instance. Just a tad tardy to the smarts meetings. My point is, there's really not much to worry about when scientists say a zombie attack could destroy civilization. Follow the rules of the George Romero zombies. That's closer to the truth.

The thing is they are not really all that infectious. Sure they can bite you, but they only want you for your brains. Most humans act like idiots with no brains anyway. You're most likely safe from the zombie apocalypse.

16 cockroaches for lunch

Sean Murphy is going to need a breath mint. He broke the world record for… wait, just so you know - there's a world record for this because so many people have so few talents they rely on idiotic stunts like putting cockroaches in their mouth to "accomplish" something… putting 16 cockroaches in his mouth at one time.

Yes, indeedy. He put 16 cockroaches in his mouth.

Cat Girl

Some girl from China is turning into a cat. Gray, not black, so I guess her luck is not all that bad ;)

Clicky.

The corpse of the issue

It's slightly understandable, but still simply repulsive. A dead body is in plain sight on a balcony for days before anyone realizes it's not part of a Halloween display. Please. Does no one in this apartment complex know what their neighbors look like? "Hey, that scarecrow looks a lot like Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed, the guy who lives down the hall… wait a second… That IS Mostafa!

Time to ban Halloween decorations as the holiday's origins are nothing more than a hate-filled celebration to frighten away ghouls, demons, and monsters in general. You can dress like us, but you can never be us. What makes you think we'll fear you if you dress like us. Go on, mock us, but we will haunt your nights as long as you continue to disregard your fellow human as you have disregarded Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed.

Brazilian Bats. That's a LOT!

Want to see the coolest video you'll ever witness of bats viewed in infrared? These Brazilian bats were recorded using infrared so their habits were not disrupted by light.

Next thing you know they'll be video-recording me without my consent. Invasion of privacy!

Still cool, though.

Meat eating vegetation

Okay, so, we've got meat-eating people, plant-eating people (vegetarians, vegans, etc.), plant-eating animals (herbivores) meat-eating animals (carnivores), buffet-eating people (omnivores) people-eating monsters, a few plant-eating monsters, insect-eating plants (Venus flytrap), insect-eating people (Renfield) and now the amoeba shape is complete:

Meat-eating plants!

Hooray for evolution!

Rats! It's what's for dinner ;)

Snake with a foot

A cute little snake with a foot. Is it a left or right?

A foot snake. Is that anything like an inch worm? Nah.

This li'l guy or gal has to be a sign of the apocalypse. Or maybe just some wacky genetic throwback.
Come one, come all! Meet the snake with a foot, and read all the gory details right here at this link.

/it's really not gory.

slither, thump… slither, thump… slither, thump, etc.

Spiders are terrific pigs

We should all take it as a lesson that animals and insect are not to be "kept." When you fill your dwelling with creepy crawlies that are potentially deadly, you stand a chance of being devoured by your "pets."

And that's just what happened.

A 30 year old German man named Mark Voegel was bitten by his black widow spider, then found over a week later with his household insects and reptiles picnicking on and apartment-squatting in his remains. Yum.

Humans are murderers

A tear, a very rare tear escaped my eye when I saw this story. This poor little "monster" or "alien" was just an unknown creature to some boys in Panama. The teenagers decided it was a strange enough creature to them that they should stone it to death.
That's right, kids; when you see something, and you don't know what it is - it is imperative that you stone it to death. Unknown creatures are ALWAYS dangerous.
As it turns out the creature is very likely a deformed, hairless sloth.

The picture shown is a happy sloth. I couldn't bring myself to post the dead body of a poor murdered creature. You'll find it in the article.

Urn a living

Yucky urn head for your beloved's ashes.

A very dear pet of mine recently passed, and I've been looking for methods of ash saving or scattering. I stumbled on this gem:

Ashes urn shaped like a human head.

For the record, I won't be putting a cat's ashes in a ceramic head.
Good grievous.
