Unexpected Friends Cute A bear, a tiger and a lion. They’re dangerous predators, but they’re friends. The reason they do not attack each other or consider the other as rivals, is that they were brought up together. Source On a Rainy Day...Gregory Thielker's Paintings (Not Photos) - 8 Total Under the Unminding Sky We love Gregory Thielker's art, not only because we can't believe they're actually paintings and not photographs, but also because he can transport us into another time and place. When we look at his paintings, Thielker wants us to experience those moments when we're driving in our car on a cold and rainy day. He wants us to remember the thoughts that go through our heads, how on one hand we feel safe and warm but on the other we're trying to navigate through an uncertain environment. Gregory Thielker on his art: "My most recent paintings and drawings explore the sensation of seeing from a car while driving through the rain. The paintings themselves are compiled from hundreds of photographs taken while driving in rainstorms with the windshield wipers turned off.

5 Insane Scientific Charts You Won't Believe Actually Exist Everything needs to measured: Even things you don't want to touch, smell, look at, think about or even exist on the same physical plane as. Because sometimes, you just have to know what precise category of vomit you'd be covered in if you ate too much Subway, or got drunk and played on the merry-go-rounds (Scattershot Olive, is the answer). Therefore, in some office somewhere, a person is looking at a chart displaying... The Bristol Stool Scale What Does it Measure? It ain't bar chairs. Thanks for ruining another of life's little pleasures, Science.

Underwater Dog Photographer Helping Shelter Pets Pet photographer Seth Casteel enjoys the unexpected. And that’s a good thing, since his photos of dogs—taken as he plays underwater with them—have become a viral overnight success. Casteel’s underwater photos reveal surprising emotions: a Labrador Retriever menacingly bares his teeth, a Bulldog looks wide-eyed in astonishment, and a Border Collie appears slightly goofy as she dives after a tennis ball. “My whole thing is that I do what the pets like to do. Casteel first dove into a pool with a dog when he was taking photos of Buster, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Casteel started shooting more underwater photos of dogs and eventually splurged to buy an underwater housing for his camera. Fast forward to this past February when his underwater dog photos suddenly exploded online. Since then, Casteel has been running with the big dogs. He’s had to turn down private clients through his pet photography company, Little Friends Photo.
Calvin & Hobbes Quotes I like maxims that don't encourage behavior modification. Reality continues to ruin my life. Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless. A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day. It's psychosomatic. You need a lobotomy. I understand my tests are popular reading in the teachers' lounge. Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words. Where do we keep all our chainsaws, Mom? That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks. You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help. Its no use! What's the point of wearing your favorite rocketship underpants if nobody ever asks to see 'em? As a math atheist, I should be excused from this. This one's tricky. I have a hammer! I'm not dumb. "Do you believe in the devil? "Nope."

These Are Photos Of Childrens Bedrooms. But They Represent Something Much, Much More. Millions of people from around the world are currently experiencing very different childhoods. Some are living in abject poverty, lacking basic food and sanitation, while others are more fortunate by being born in a country where those things are guaranteed and usually taken for granted. When photographer James Mollison was asked to come up with an idea for engaging with children’s rights, he found himself thinking of his bedroom: how significant it was during his childhood, and how it reflected what he had and who he was. And with that, he made it his mission to create Where Children Sleep – a collection of stories about children from around the world, told through portraits and pictures of their bedrooms.

Pictures No Sleep | The Most Amazing Pictures Ever Taken part 2/2 Top 10 Incredible Sound Illusions | Listverse Weird Stuff Following the popularity of our optical illusions lists (20 Amazing Optical Illusions, and Another 10 Amazing Optical Illusions), we have put together an amazing array of sound illusions (auditory illusions). In these illusions, your mind is tricked in to thinking it is hearing something when, in fact, it is not. To get the most out of this list you should have a set of stereo headphones and a stereo sound system. Unless otherwise noted (before each audio file), you should listen to these sounds with your stereo. Laptop speakers are not suitable for most of these illusions. This illusion was discovered by Diana Deutsch, and is an example of our brains “grouping” similar notes together. There are several ways in which people perceive these sounds, but the most common is to group the high and low notes together. NOTE: Listen through stereo headphones, or stereo separated loudspeakers, best placed some distance apart. Shepherds Ascending Tones This recording is subtle. Wait! Bonus
