Or, when in doubt, cut it a little too long. You can always take more wood off. You can't put wood back on.

Redditor PangurBanHammer brings us this photo. Many commenters offer similar pieces of advice for different professions, as well as amusing ways to teach them. Babygrenade talks about the measure-twice rule in cooking:

My chef friend had a new line cook that overcooked a steak. He told him to stick in the freezer to uncook it a bit. The line cook actually did and then forgot about it, so my friend replaced it with a raw steak before telling him to check on it.

You have my sword. And my bow. And my underpants.

The iceberg is cold, but the food is spicy hot.

Imgur member SchaoLink rounded up photos of 50 funny store names found around the world. They're all amusing puns, except for the last one, which is actually really disturbing.

Ben Graves, 80, stands in front of his enormous map of 3,047 counties and county-equivalents in the 48 contiguous states of the United States. It measures 8 by 5 feet across.

He's not an artist by trade, but he is a master of his craft. Graves is a retired oil refinery fire chief in Kerrville, Texas. His tranquility is to make wood county maps of states, which he often donates to local schools. My San Antonio reports:

“It's a hobby that I dearly love,” said Graves, whose father was a carpenter. “It's very relaxing. I have no music. No nothin'. Just me and my saw. Very relaxing.” […]

Graves pulled out all the stops for his latest project, a county-by-county map of the nation's 48 contiguous states made from more than a dozen types of wood, which he donated Monday to Kerr County.

Mr. Yogato is a frozen yogurt restaurant in Washington, D.C. You can earn discounts on your tab pretty easily.

Question: do the discounts stack? For example, if I get a head stamp, deliver the Braveheart speech, Stump Steve on Seinfeld trivia, re-enact the "Thriller" dance, dress like Bjorn Borg, answer a trivia question successfully, sing "Mr. Roboto," and wear a kicball uniform, do I get my frozen yogurt for free?

We don't have these kinds of discounts at the NeatoShop. But according to legend, if you capture Alex Santoso, tie him up with a red rope, and tickle his belly 3 times, he has to grant you a wish.

Maxim Gorky was a Russian and Soviet writer. He was a Bolshevik, but became a sharp critic of the Communist regime shortly after the Russian Revolution. Nonetheless, the Soviet government gave him a luxurious house in Moscow, which is now a museum in his honor.

The house includes a beautiful Art Noveau marble staircase that looks like it's made of a liquid. It flows down the stairs, ending with a lamp shaped like a jellyfish.

Somewhere in the world, for the modern urban cowboy, there is the basketball boot. You can be the master of the court and corral for a mere $200.

These are apparently Tony Lama brand boots. Sadly, they appear to have been discontinued. It was inevitable, though. All the great cowboys eventually ride off into the sunset.

Tattoo needles don't come with built-in spellcheckers, so sometimes some corrective work is necessary. In this case, the creative solution was to treat the original like an assignment handed in to an English teacher. He's a bit a sloppy with his coffee cup, but his command of spelling is perfect.

This clever girl has poured herself a cup of A&W brand cream soda. It flows out of the bottle as smoothly as well-conditioned hair.

I should try this on my own daughters' hair (while my wife is not at home). But to top this unknown girl's accomplishment, I'll do it with a 2-liter bottle.

Do squirrels, opossums, and stray dogs wander into your backyard in the night? Some neighborhoods have more exotic wildlife. Redditor elfmachine100 lives in Florida, and has a “game cam” set up. He “finally caught something cool” on it. This is a Florida panther, an endangered subspecies of cougar. It’s busy stalking a boar, but it is unknown whether the camera action interfered with the hunt. Since there are only around 160 Florida panthers left in the wild, he was encouraged to share the picture with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

There are many hidden images of Mickey Mouse throughout Disney World. But you'll only see this one from the air. Disney World recently completed its largest hidden Mickey. It's a 11.5-acre arrangement of solar panels.

Disney worked with Duke Energy to develop the facility. It produces 5 megawatts, which is as much electricity as might come from 1,000 home rooftop solar energy systems. You can read more about it at the Orlando Weekly.

Once you have your first baby, it is essential to book a shoot with a professional photographer so that you can have high quality photos to share on Facebook.

M.K. Paulsen and Ella Gale, who are comedians, don't have a baby. But they recently welcomed into the world an adorable little burrito. They commissioned photographer Erin Holsonback to take photos of the new family together. The result is a series of heartwarming images of a loving couple and their lunch. You can view more on their blog Burrito Makes Three.

Sure, in a legal sense, redditor schizophrenicwheel owns Magnus the tarantula. But they're actually just friends--bros, really. In the past, she gave him a birthday hat for an iguana's birthday party.

Then, a year ago, she gave him a plush stuffed tarantula as a toy. He responded affectionately with a brofist. That's a polite spider who stays up on modern etiquette.

It's a fashion and a snack! Donut hair is the latest style for men, women, and long-haired dogs. I prefer mine jelly-filled, but icing and sprinkles are also good. Head to your local donut/barber shop and buy your own.

Comic artist Grant Snider of Incidental Comics presents a purebred dog category of which even the most enthusiastic of canine enthusiasts were not aware. Hopefully the species in this breed group aren't actually impossible; I'd love to get an invisibeagle and train him to walk off-leash and attack on command. That would be a great way to ward off undesirables! Via Laughing Squid

Poster prints of this comic and other Grant Snider works are available here.

Tom Charlton snapped this terrifying photo of a Ophiophagus hannah in the Krabi Province of southern Thailand. He mentions to a friend on Facebook that he found the snake in a stream outside the friend's bungalow. My recommendation: move.
