Behold the genius of Accidental Penis! I’ve actually been sent quite a few of these over the years, but it’s good to see they’ve all found an appropriate home now :)
Cheers for the link Nicky.
I‘m lovin’ Think Geek’s April Fools today, but I tell you what, I would genuinely buy one of these if they were available, brilliant :)
Ha ha, I have a bit of a soft spot for internet absurdities and Selleck Waterfall Sandwich delivers on that account. The man, his mustache, a waterfall and a sandwich for good measure, strangely entertaining..

Love that random note at the end :)
This fella clearly has some chopsticks up his sleeve:
Just got a comment on an old post that I’d completely forgotten about. Felt like it needed a re-post, such a simple genius idea (not mine sadly), need to remember this before mid December next year..
Quite an amusing read through this list of rock band names and their origins. I was most surprised to find out that 2 bands names (Lovin’ Spoonful & 10cc) both refer to how much spunk you can fit in a teaspoon…

I take my hat off to Eric Testroete for his Halloween costume this year. It was inspired by ‘big-head mode’ in videogames and is surprisingly creepy when seen in the real world.

Movember + Twitter & Hashtags = Tachetags! This was the brainchild of a mate at Blast radius, who got me in as the ‘moustache expert’ to make it happen.
Basically the idea is you upload daily photos of your folical folly to twitter (using twitpic, yfrog or img.ly) and add #tachetag in the text. We’ll pull them all into tachetag.com where you and anyone else can see your progress and, if they like the look of your hirsute heroics, add a donation in your name.
There a few more features in the wings, like being able to post images directly on the site, personal pages with all your photos and hopefully an animated gif of it growing.
Mick Jagger’s brief to Andy Warhol – “do what ever you want….. and please write back saying how much money you would like”. Ha ha, why don’t I ever get briefs like this!
The album in question was Sticky Fingers, which famously had a huge bulging cock imprint on a pair of jeans with a working zipper:

Ha ha, this cracked me up, I didn’t understand it at first – can you see what’s not as it seems it this picture?
That girl climbing into the bunk has got her arse out right?

I‘m going to have to start a category ‘events I wish I’d gone to but only just found out about them after they happened’ to remind me of these things next year. Ok I’ve done it.
This shot is taken from the The World Stone Skimming Championships 2009 on Easdale Island, Scotland. I saw that Anne Ward (I Like) had been this year. Apperently the island is made out of slate, so has plenty of little flat rocks that are ideal for skimming. It’s strange that the results are in meters, me and my brother always used to play the most bounces wins. Either way I want a go and will try and remember it next year!
Charlie Brooker is on form with this article about Microsoft’s new campaign and his disliking of Mac evangelists. You can see the ad he’s on about here »
“It’s so terrible, it induces an entirely new emotion: a blend of vertigo, disgust, anger and embarrassment which I like to call “shitasmia”. It not only creates this emotion: it defines it. It’s the most shitasmic cultural artefact in history.”
So many brilliant quotes:
“Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it’s there, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
This is alot safer for work than you might think ;) It’s quite a surprisingly good collection of vintage porno title frames and logos, put together by the appropriately named Pornographics agency.
Here’s the video:

Great time lapse video from German hiker Christoph Rehage growing his beard (and barnet) while walking back home from Beijing?! He didn’t make it all the way back to Germany, just across China (4646km), but he did keep a bloody good account of his hair growing.
I’ve seen a few facial hair time lapses over the years, none as good as this. Some times it’s the standard day by day frame by frame technique, but usually he mixes it up with multiple shots as he rotates showing more of the scenery, or people in the background and some great timely facial expressions.
Strange seeing him shave it all of at the end, looks a completely different person, character even, I think he looks like a nicer person with the beard, he’s kinda slightly sinister without? Anyhow I know when I shaved my beard off after the CDT it freaked me out and I grew it straight back to cover the person I didn’t recognised below. If think with the caption “was it really me?” at the end, he felt the same. Grow it back Christoph, beards are best!

Just found these great daily illustrated facts on Cargo. This one seemed appropriate, not because I’ve just been robbed, but it is Tuesday.. By the Manchester based design studio – Young.
