The Mad Monster
The Mad Monster is a 1942 werewolf movie. A mad scientist has a scheme to create super soldiers by injecting wolf's blood into men. When his colleagues reject his idea, he does just that and send his werewolf out to kill them. But his wolf monster creation turns out to be uncontrollable. The Mad Monster received mixed reviews at the time, but is now considered one of the worst movies of all time. (Thanks, WTM!)
Snow Leopards
It seems a bit ironic, or maybe just sad, that the most beautiful cats in the world spend their time trying not to be seen by humans. Kind of like Canada lynx. But it's probably for the best, because you know how humans are.
The Real Meaning of Real Extreme Temperatures
How hot can it get? How cold can it get? Here on earth, temperatures fluctuate wildly, but they mostly stay in the sweet spot where we can survive (Antarctica and Death Valley excluded). but in the science of measuring temperature, physicists look at the activity of atoms. There is a temperature called absolute zero, but we've never seen it and can't achieve it. We came close once, and some really weird things happened. When we take the temperature up, exploding stars are the hottest things we can think of. How can we measure them? With physics, but we don't know about any upper limit to heat, because at a certain point, measurement becomes meaningless. Beyond that, they lost me with talk about how temperature may be a loop of some kind.

The Cat Distribution System
This is exactly what happened to my family in 2004. Only a couple of months after my husband died, 12-week-old Biscuit walked in the front door like he owned the place. Princess was smitten, and he helped bring her out of the funk of grief. He never made any moves to go back "home," which was in the neighborhood. We found out years later that his name was originally Monkey and he belonged to another little girl. but the neighbors had several other of his littermates, so she adopted another one.

Fruit & Nut
This cartoon proves that Pixar isn't always for children. In this scenario, a peanut finds a strawberry and falls for her. Is she the classic manic pixie dream girl or just bad news? His life is changed in every way possible as the two travel the West on an adventurous crime spree. As the wordless story progresses, try to catch all the references to other familiar films.
Fruit & Nut was made by Pixar artists Rej Bourdages and Tony Maki. Despite the adult content warning, it is completely safe for work. And it doesn't end as you'd expect. And it's not that long- the credits are substantial. (via Kuriositas)

Thisis why your cat gives you the side eye. They are having an episode of cognitive dissonance, and it's all your fault.
The Invisible Servants of The Elms
It's hard to believe, but this 60,000 square foot mansion is sometimes referred to as a summer cottage. This is The Elms in Newport, Rhode Island, built as a summer getaway for Edward Julius Berwind. Sure, it's big, but to guests it was a lot smaller on the inside than the outside. They wouldn't even notice that, because of the sheer size and opulence of the home. The rest of the house was hidden, because that's where the huge staff lived and worked. The interior was designed so that you never saw the work going on; the cleaning, cooking, and serving just happened as if by magic.
While the servants' quarters and work spaces are plain compared to the family and guest spaces at The Elms, they still look quite fancy to the modern eye. Architectural Digest shows us many of the engineering tricks and illusions that kept the dirty work behind genteel living hidden in The Elms.
