The guy on the unicycle obviously sealed the deal.

I watched this yesterday afternoon and it was around 2.5 million hits on youtube. This morning it’s over 4 million. It’s no wonder, though, because this is quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. And I don’t even like cats.

Recently, I’ve stumbled across a new website, Alice.com, that promises to make household shopping easy for you.  No more trips to the store for toilet paper, toothbrushes, or cotton balls.  The prices are comparable to what you’d pay at the store, and on-site coupons make some products extremely attractive.  On my most recent shopping “trip” to Alice.com, I was able to purchase name-brand deodorant for 98 cents, granola bars for $2, and toothpaste for $1.96 – prices way below what they sell for at Kroger or CVS. Best of all, Alice.com will ship everything to you for FREE.  Alice also provides reminders for products that you might need to reorder and suggested products based on past purchases.

Right now, if you sign up through this link, Alice.com will give you $10 off of a $50 order.  With free shipping, there’s nothing to lose, so go try it out!

Ahh, toilet paper.  A necessity of life.  But why must it be so boring?  Printed toilet paper is a creative idea that would be great for parties, practical joke gifts, or even the office bathroom.

Here are our top ten toilet tissue designs.  Not all of them are printed designs on paper; a few are of the non-practical sort (such as the cheese grater TP below) but are comical nonetheless.

Nine more designs after the jump.

Buddha pears

Chinese farmer Hao Xianzhang has perfected the process of growing pears inside Buddha shaped plastic molds.

Each pear shaped like Buddha costs around 50 yuan ($7.32 USD).

These are absolutely adorable – but I don’t know if I could eat one!  Would it be a harbinger of bad luck to bite the head off of a Buddha??

Hungry?

These cute little Buddha-shaped pears reminds me of the brilliant square watermelon idea.  The Japenese came up with a creative way to grow square watermelons in order to be able to stack them and place them in the fridge:

What will they think of next??

As you may know, I love a good dance flash mob. However, I recently saw one flash mob that takes the cake…

During The Oprah Show’s 24th season kickoff party, Harpo staff and more than 20,000 people pulled off a massive surprise for an unsuspecting Oprah. The entire crowd performed a choreographed piece to the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling,” and Oprah was not only shocked, she was thrilled! Award-winning director Michael Gracey says the interaction between the Black Eyed Peas and the crowd is what made the flash mob so extraordinary. ”There’s something really special when you take an audience and instead of just being passive and watching, you invite them to participate,” he says. “That’s why it was so magical for both parties. Two groups of people came together to create something that neither of them could have done alone.”

My mother sent me a forwarded email the other day that really intrigued me.  The email contained pictures of artwork by Guido Daniele, an artist who lives and works in Milan, Italy.  Daniele painstakingly paints each portrait and then photographs the finished piece to preserve the image.  The catch?  These paintings are painted on the hands.  Daniele’s amazing hand art work has been the subject of many advertisements and publicity campaigns across the world.  You can see more of Daniele’s work at GuidoDaniele.com.

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for the best female video.  Since then, there have been quite a few parodies made of the event.  Here are a few of them.
