A Bun in the Oven



She's trying to tell him that she's pregnant, but he just doesn't get it. Good thing she had a backup clue in the bathroom. She would have done better to just tell him. (via Digg)

Fire Maidens of Outer Space



Fire Maidens of Outer Space is a 1956 British B-movie that combines sex and space flight, typical for the era. Astronauts discover a community of beautiful women living on the 13th moon of Jupiter. They are human, having descended from those who escaped Atlantis when it sunk. How that happened does not matter. They need husbands!  (Thanks WTM!)

Kitten with an Exoskeleton



Squid was born with a deformity in his back legs. He lucked out when he came into the care of Drs. Lauren and Daniel Anthony, married veterinarians in Frisco, Texas. They took the kitten in and made splints of different kinds to keep his legs straight while he learned to walk properly. But he needed more, specifically a moveable brace to keep his hips aligned. There are such things, but none small enough for a kitten, so the docs had to make their own- out of LEGO pieces! They explained at Instagram that "he has a flexural tendon deformity of his hocks. The Lego exoskeleton is helping to prevent abduction of the hips!" You might or might not understand that, but we are happy that they do. I guess it's true that you can make anything if you have enough LEGO pieces.

A Japanese Take on American Sushi



Jun Yoshizuki of Jun's Kitchen makes American-style sushi with what seems like the entire contents of a grocery store to the beat of a fast, bouncy soundtrack. You don't even need to like sushi to enjoy the efficient moves of his practiced technique. His "studio audience" consists of his curious and appreciative cats Haku and Nagi, who are both well-fed and well-trained. We can assume that Poki is in another room with the door shut.

Michael Jackson Medley



The a cappella group Kings Return sings Michael Jackson songs- 34 of them! You'll recognize most, and some will hit your nostalgia button because you haven't heard them in many years. (via Kuriositas

The River That Just Disappears



Rivers are the water paths that rain and snow follow from higher elevations to lower elevations until they reach the ocean. The Colorado River, on the other hand, flows from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado through several states and then just disappears. Oh, it used to flow into the Pacific Ocean, but that was before people moved to the western US and wanted to live there a grow crops despite the fact that it's a desert. 

Half as Interesting takes us on a tour of the Colorado River and what happens to all that pristine snow melt along the way. The video is eight minutes long; the rest is an ad. 



English



People used to criticize my boss for a small grammar faux pas, and I would point out that English is his fourth language. Remember the beam in your own eye. (via Bored Panda)

Eating Their Way Around the World, in One City



Two guys who go by the name Taste Buds came up with the most enjoyable (to produce) YouTube series imaginable. They embarked on a quest to try the food of every country in the world, without leaving New York City! They pick countries pretty much at random and go to a different restaurant every week. Does New York City have a restaurant from all of the 195 nations on their list? They've found 21 so far. 

At each restaurant, they explain their project and get the VIP treatment. They ask questions about the cuisine while they eat their way through several dishes and quite a few drinks. It would take a week to recover from such excess. Now I'm hungry for Hungarian goulash, but I'll have to make it myself. You can see videos from all 21 restaurants so far at YouTube.

Laser Magic Spectacular



You know how lightsabers break the rules of physics by showing a light that just ends at a certain point? This music video from Auralnauts corrects that by outfitting Luke, er, Dirk Lasermaster, with a lightsaber that goes on to infinity. Otherwise, the weird things that would never happen in a real world were left in the footage from The Return of the Jedi. In fact, those weird moments are highlighted by repetition to a ridiculous degree.

The song is from their album The Last Laser Master. It's an adjunct to their 6-part opus called Auralnauts Star Wars Saga. (via Digg)
