Fulfilling His Dream
Will always wanted to be an air dancer, one of these "tube men" that dances by blown air power to catch your attention. And he got his wish! Not only is he a tube man, but a professional tube man! The kicker is that this is a real ad, a local commercial for a car dealer. It matters little that you see any of the actual products for sale. If you live in the local area, you'll remember the ad, and the name of the dealer. (via Tastefully Offensive)

Megachonker on a Diet
CC is a wobbly cat, meaning she has cerebellar hypoplasia. But you don't even notice that when you see her- what you notice is that she's a heckin' chonker. CC weighed 23 pounds when she came into the care of The Big House Cats in Ontario, a rescue shelter for very overweight cats. CC was so big she couldn't climb into her litter box, and she could barely take a few steps before she had to sit down.
Restricted food and lots of love got her started. Then they added exercise, and found that CC really wanted to play, she was just too big to do it. As she lost weight, she became more playful. So far, she's lost six pounds! At around five minutes, you get to see before and after pictures that show how far she has come. Her goal is to lose five more pounds. See more of the Big House Cats at Instagram.
Microplastics in Your Body
When plastics were developed, they were considered amazing. A material that is cheap, lightweight, won't rust, and can be shaped in any way? Sure, let's go for that! But as long lasting as plastic is, it does degrade. That's why bottled water has an expiration date- because the plastic wears out. As it degrades, plastic sheds microscopic pieces that get into our environment, our food, and our bodies.
So what does accumulating plastic in our bodies do to us? We don't know much about it yet, but we're seeing evidence that it can lead to obesity and infertility, two of the major health trends in the modern world. We can't do a lot about the microplastics we already have in our bodies, but there are a few things we can do the lessen the amount we ingest. (via Geeks Are Sexy)

Poor Moose
A couple of weeks ago, we read about a moose hanging out at the Moose Club. It looks like he found an even more appropriately location, but it was unlucky for him. (via Bad Newspaper)
The Wizard of Mars
The Wizard of Mars is a film made in 1965 on a budget of $33,000. The plot takes the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and puts it on Mars in the Space Age. That pretty much sets you up for what is to come. (via Memo of the Air)
The Suffering of Dave
Dave reminds me of my Apollo- the constant complaining, the too-high voice for his size, and his orange attitude of entitlement. I miss Apollo.
Weird Luxury Weddings
There are people in this world who can afford to spend millions of dollars on a wedding. That's the perfect way to show the world how filthy rich you are, because there's going to be a lot of pictures testifying to how much you spent on a one-day party. Ryan George was inspired to make this video by Jeff Bezos' wedding last year, which reportedly cost $50 million. That wedding made all the papers, while his ex-wife quietly spends her days writing large checks to charities.
But that's not the only over-the-top wedding designed to flaunt a family's wealth highlighted in this video. Some are more expensive than others, and some are just weird. He also takes. a special look at ridiculous wedding cakes, which probably won't even make you hungry.
The Greatest Rabbits In Film History
Think the Easter bunny is the most iconic fictional rabbit? It has a lot of competition. Far from being the ultimate in non-threatening cuddly fluffiness, rabbits in movies are usually terrifying. Watch this and see what I mean. It is not for children. Yeah, there are a few benign cinematic rabbits, like Harvey and Thumper, but the vast majority of them are demons you don't want to confront, ever.
