Unicorn Museum

unicorn3

Unicorns are real and they are even mentioned in the bible nine times! I kid you not. The folks at the Unicorn Museum don't really want you to believe that but they do want to poke fun at the Creation Museum, a religious-based institution that believes the universe is 6000 years old and that Adam walked with dinosaurs. They want your help. Submit your ideas for a Unicorn Museum billboard design. The design voted most popular will be placed on a billboard near the location of the Creation Museum. Ha! They are also looking for donations.

Pee & Poo

Pee & Poo are cuddly toys that resemble the two waste products of our body - the urine and the shit. They are so surprisingly popular that they even have their own clothing line - socks, t-shirts and underwear!

The Mystery of the Giant LEGO Man



Flickr user blazemongr was quick to add his humour to the Giant LEGO Man that was fished out of the sea in a Dutch resort recently. He changed the words on his chest, "No Real Than You Are" to "Ha! Ha! You just caught teh geh" and "You make LEGO Man scared!".


No one really knows where the Giant LEGO Man came from. Some suspected it could be from England. From ABC News:
"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating towards the beach from the direction of England."
More pics here. I just hope this is not a sign of an impending Earth invasion by an army of Giant LEGO Men. That's scary aye.

Inside Coke's Happiness Factory


YouTube Link

Inside the Happiness Factory is an animated documentary based on a Coca Cola TV ad made by the folks at Wieden+Kennedy and Psyop. The documentary gives us a behind-the-scenes peek at the Happiness Factory. Real Coca-Cola employees were interviewed and their responses were used for the animated factory workers. I think this is so brilliantly done that I would pay to watch it in the cinema if it was a full length animated movie. Hmmm. Maybe that's something that Coke should consider.

I'm officially a crazy Transformers fanboy


At the Premiere with the one and only Optimus Prime.

Yesterday, I watched Transformers with my SIA Girl mates. It's rare to have all of them free on the same afternoon so when they asked (more like forced) me along to watch Transformers with them, I gladly said yes. BTW, that's my fourth time watching Transformers! Yup, I'm officially a crazy Transformers fanboy now.

Watching with a bunch of girls who have no clue about the Transformers is some experience. They kept asking questions like "who is Optimus Prime?", "what is a Decepticon?" and "are Autobots evil?". I had to do lots of explaining throughout the movie (and after). And boy, they sure were noisy. Some of the folks sitting beside us even had to move seats.

Despite their lack of Transformers knowledge, they enjoyed the movie a lot. They even said it's the best movie they watched this year - that's a compliment from a bunch of girls who don't really like the normal guy type movies. Now I should transform, roll out and get ready for my fifth. Ok, I'm joking.

Crazy Japanese Watches

This Japanese site sells the craziest looking watches I have ever seen. For example, this one pictured on the left has the watch face near your thumb instead of on your wrist and it has a lot of other crazy looking contraptions.

Posters by Polish designers

More than 200 posters mostly designed by Polish designers since 1940 in this nice gallery. There are also some posters done by Czech and Cuban designers. I don't know why but somehow this poster titled "Bachelor Life in a Foreign Country" is my favourite.
