You’d think when children start to grow up, their messes would become more manageable. Gothgrrl thought she was doing the right thing when she poured her chocolate milk out before throwing away the paper cup. The trouble is, she poured it out of the driver’s side window, where it splattered all over the door, including the handle, which was quite sticky til I had time to clean it. Then she woke up with blood all over her new pillow, and tried to tell me it was chocolate milk. It was a nosebleed that she’d slept completely through. But Princess took the cake this week. How much blondeness does it take to set a full bottle of glue on mama’s bed without the cap on it? I didn’t know there was a problem until I retired at midnight and stretched my legs out. Ick! My feet were covered in Elmer’s that had soaked through the quilt, blanket, AND sheets. Will the cleanup duties never cease?

Embarrassing Moments in Engineering. Don’t you just hate it when you spend millions of dollars for a large construction, only to find out there is something fundamentally wrong underneath?

When most people experiment with recreational drugs, they are breaking the law. When well known research labs experiment with marijuana and LSD, they get published.

An interesting discussion on how green NYC is.

In this quiz, you are given a YouTube comment, and you try to guess which video it was posted to. No, of course they don’t make a sense. That’s what’s so fun! Oh yeah, you can then reload it and get a different set of comments. (via b3ta)

Bikers

There were two guys on a motercycle driving down the road. The driver was wearing a leather jacket that didn't have a zipper or any buttons.

Finally he stopped the bike and told the other guy,"I can't drive anymore with the air hitting me in my chest." After thinking for a while he decided to put the coat on backwards to block the air from hitting him. So they were driving down the road and they came around this curb and wrecked.

The farmer that lived there called the police and told them what happened. The police asked him, "are either of them showing any life signs?"

The farmer said, "Well, that first one was 'til I turned his head around the right way."

Take a look at Gizmo, the boxing cat!

What if we could set up a system where craft were in almost perpetual motion between Earth and Mars, using each planet’s gravity to sling it toward the other? Such a trajectory is available, thanks to the work of Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Unmanned explorers and astronauts could catch a cycler every 26 months and ride to Mars (or back) using a small fraction of the furl that would be needed for a conventional mission.

The weirdest news stories of the week.

THE BUS

Did you hear about the young highland lad whose mother always told him. "Don't be ashamed of your kilt, Laddie! Be proud of it!! If you ever have to go to the big city, where your dress kilt and wear it with pride!"

Eventually, she died, and he had to go to London for the estate paperwork. He remembered what his auld mother always told him, and wore his dress kilt. He was on a bus in London when the driver looked back in his rear view mirror and shouted, "You there! You'll have to put the animal off! Animals aren't allowed on the bus!"

The Highlander said, "Who? Me? I have no animal."

The driver said, "The animal in your lap, son!"

The Highlander said, "That's no animal - that's me sporran!"

The lady sitting next to him fainted. She had been petting it for five minutes.
