How To Make Pie Pops

“Tiny pies on a stick! Your mouth didn’t know what it was missing… Pie pops was a natural fit. I love a high crust-to-filling ratio, but if you don’t, consider making these babies a little larger and the crust as thin as possible to accommodate the most filling possible!” w/ photos

Getting Up Close & Personal With A Lion

“As an enormous lion lumbers onto the bonnet of the jeep and begins tearing up a piece of raw meat, you would expect to see fear etched on the faces of these tourists. But rather than showing any signs of terror, the group are smiling broadly – safe from the big cat behind a Perspex windshield. This incredible Lions on the Edge exhibit, which puts you just inches from a lion’s jaws is one of the biggest attractions at Werribee Open Range Zoo, in Victoria, Australia. Kings of the jungle Tombo and Tonyi are joined by two lionesses in the exhibit. Though it has been open since 2006, the male lions were added just last month – leading to some startling photo opportunities.” w/ photos

Say Anything: Mini Flash Mob

“The 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray and DVD of Say Anything came out yesterday, and to mark the occasion, numerous men with lots of free time dressed up in trench coats and hoisted boomboxes above their heads and marched throughout New York City serenading people with the strains of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” and a cover version of the same song by The Lloyd Dobler Effect.” w/ photos

Color-Changing Spider

“Crab spiders can scuttle, but apparently they can’t hide. Long touted as an example of cryptic coloring, the female Misumena vatiaspider switches her body color over the course of days depending on the flower where she lurks. Contrary to the textbook scenario, though, a white spider on a white flower doesn’t catch more prey than a white spider moved to a yellow flower, researchers report online November 3 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B… The study “finally shatters the myth of crypsis by color matching in crab spiders,” comments behavioral ecologist Marie Herberstein of Macquarie University in Sydney, who was not part of the study. “I suspect that textbooks may now need to be rewritten.” w/ photos

Lamborghini’s Master Painters

“Painting the MurciĂ©lago’s carbon fiber body takes hundreds of hours and a lot of skill… It sucks that all of those people are working their asses off, then someone would buy a lamborghini and crash it.” — JAKUBM5

Submarine-Themed Play Room

“For many men, their house is their castle. For one Canterbury man, his play room is a submarine complete with working periscope. Wayne Eyre has turned part of his Spencerville property into a wrecked submarine featuring “plutonium-leaking” torpedoes, at a cost of $100,000. In the rusting interior of the submarine, which appears to have beached on a deserted island, Eyre has all the creature comforts reclining chairs, a three-metre big-screen TV and a top-notch surround-sound system. Customwood has been sprayed with concrete and painted to resemble rusting steel beams, while plastic sheets have been melted to give the impression of bent steel ripped apart when the submarine hit an island. Speakers emit sonar and ocean sounds throughout the 40ft by 18ft room… However, the original concept somehow morphed into a submarine.” w/ photos

Ken Block’s Trax Sti Car

“On the heels of Ken Blocks insane Gymkhana videos and the groundbreaking snowboarding/rally part to close out DCs MTN.LAB 1.5 video, the DC Co-Founder and Rally Team Driver has joined with Subaru to make the worlds fastest cat track operation automobile for backcountry access for snowboarding. Dubbed the TRAX STI, this is a new teaser video from the test session for the highly-modified, snow-ready (to say the least) car.”

CyberWalk’s Omni-Directional Treadmill

“Even with recent improvements in virtual reality technology, it’s still almost impossible to physically walk through virtual environments. Now, European researchers have started a project named CyberWalk, demonstrating their omni-directional treadmill, named CyberCarpet.”
