| 10 Awesome Holiday Jell-O Shots Posted: 08 Dec 2012 05:00 AM PST
Candy canes, sugar cookies, fruit cake, pumpkin pie and egg nog -sounds like a great holiday party dessert table, but if you want to kick your party up a notch, then why not make those same great treats into Jell-O shots instead? Here are 10 great gellatin shots that I can't wait to make for our Neatorama Christmas party -of course, John will probably still run around getting everyone to try his bacon Jell-O shots. |

There is no way that any other dog is as happy as Benny, he's so happy he looks like his eyes are about to pop out of his head! Even taking a bath doesn't bum little Benny out, his happiness can't be dampened by mere water. --via dlisted |
| How Do You Improve Gooey Cinnamon Buns? Add Bacon! Posted: 08 Dec 2012 03:00 AM PST
The brilliant minds over at The Infinate Yums know just what to do to make cinnamon buns an even tastier breakfast treat -add crumbled, maple-covered bacon to the cinnamon filling and sprinkle more bacon over the top before cooking. Bad for you? Yes. Good for your taste buds? You bet. |

| A Rifle Design Based on Archimedes's Screw Posted: 08 Dec 2012 12:00 AM PST
According to legend, the Greek engineer Archimedes of Syracuse designed a pump that moved water up by using a screw inside a sealed shaft. The Evans lever-action rifle, designed by a dentist in Maine, uses the same mechanical principle. As the lever is cocked, the shaft inside the magazine built into the buttstock turns and feeds another round into the chamber. Why do you think this innovation never caught on?

Would you like to own your own hobbit hole? Well guess what, now can! Through the magic that a company named Wooden-Wonders. Not only are they adorible, but they are all functional as well.

Chef Alton Brown wrote up some trivia about the history of egg nog at mental-floss. Although we tend to think of it as a medieval European recipe, it owes a lot of its popularity to the New World.
But the best part is his personal recipe for homemade egg nog, plus tips for making it correctly. Follow it to the letter and you'll have nog with rum, cognac, and bourbon all together! Link |

I won't lie to you guys, I am not a huge fan of guns. Not that I mind if other people have them, I just know if I owned one I would be the guy who shot himself in the foot or something of that nature. These guns however, I would not mind owning. I mean just the mechanical genius it took to put these things together is incredible. Not to mention the gold, pearls, diamonds, and all that. I couldn't find confirmation, but I am pretty sure it is |

| Olaf Breuning's Bizarre Coffin Designs Posted: 07 Dec 2012 01:30 PM PST
Designer Olaf Breuning wanted to see his whimsical coffin designs brought to life, so he commissioned some coffin makers from Ghana to build the kooky corpse boxes for him, since the people of Ghana enjoy using eccentric coffins in their own funeral practices. These melting popsicle, chocolate bar and snowman shaped coffins are strictly for decorative use only, but Olaf may consider taking one for a ride when he kicks the bucket!

They don't last long, but they are works of art for a short time in winter. Flavorwire has a roundup of homes, hotels, igloos, castles, and art buildings made from ice and snow. Such structures are found in Romania, Russia, Sweden, China, Canada, and the U.S. Even in New Mexico! Shown here is The Celestial Sphere, a concert hall made of ice in Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico.

| Australian PM Warns of Coming Apocalypse Posted: 07 Dec 2012 10:30 AM PST For those of you who don't know- that's Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. No, the audio isn't dubbed, she is actually talking about a doomsday apocalypse. She warns about the Mayans being right, zombies, and K-Pop. Pretty scary stuff Gillard. Why is she doing this? She believes in the "End of the World" of course! Quick note, the "End of the World" is the name of a radio show which is set to air today in Australia. The hosts of the show, Tom and Alex, somehow coaxed Gillard into promoting the show. Oh man, you got my hopes up... ..I can't be the only one who guiltily wants a zombie apocalypse, right? I mean sure there is the risk of being eaten alive, but I think beating zombie brains in looks like fun! |
| Pantone Announces Color of the Year 2013 Posted: 07 Dec 2012 10:00 AM PST
The Pantone Color Institute has announced the Color of the Year for 2013: Emerald 17-5641. The color on anything besides a gem doesn't really remind me of the gem, however. How about you?
I don't know, this shade doesn't appear to match anything I already have, which may be a clue to why it was selected. Fashion-conscious consumers will have to start all over and buy whole new sets of clothing, accessories, and household items. Link -via Gizmodo |

| This Is a Monument to the Boll Weevil Posted: 07 Dec 2012 08:00 AM PST
The boll weevil (anthonomus grandis) is an insect. During the 1910s and 20s, it devastated cotton production in the American South. Nonetheless, in 1919, the town of Enterprise, Alabama built a monument to honor the boll weevil and what it did to benefit the South. Why? Because the boll weevil forced people to change, adapt and grow:
What a marvelous attitude! No wonder the town is called "Enterprise." Link | Photo: Carol M. Highsmith |
