Last year, fashion designer Jeremy Scott developed a series of dresses for the Moschino fashion house. They include this eye-catching dress that looks like a sales tag. It's a critique on consumerism. I'll wait until it reaches the clearance rack before considering it again.

What magical stone is this?! Flickr user Jeff Schultz took a photograph of a Mexican opal that looks like it has a fiery sunset and clouds captured within. Gorgeous!

Do you have enough to worry about right now? No? Well, then have I got a deal for you! From now on, you have to be afraid that whilst driving down the road, a 5-foot tall circular sawblade may fly at your car and almost cut it apart.
A man in Chongqing, China had the fright of his life when a sawblade in the back of a trailer hauled by another motorist flew out and cut 20 inches into his car, directly into the driver's side. The driver was uninjured, but, the Daily Mail reports, "he was barely able to stand up when he got out of the car because his legs were shaking."
Giant sawblades: they could be anywhere, waiting for you. Plan accordingly.

How do you sell signs? With a sign! Everyone who took advantage of this offer already knew how effective the signs are. After all, it worked on them! The price may seem a bit high, but it includes custom sign printing, and you’ll end up with a weather resistant sign your business can use for years. I'm not really endorsing this particular sign sale, but several sign professionals at reddit gave details. You might find the same thing for less money, but not a lot less. -via Boing Boing

Actually, she's not ... but it's amazing how our modern brain interprets that situation, right?
Gail Worley of the awesome blog Worleygig (seriously, check it out) went to The Met and saw this 1855 marble statue "Indian Girl, or The Dawn of Christianity," by Erasmus Dow Palmer. Like many of us, she immediately thought "doesn't it look like she's checking her Instagram feed or catching up on Tweets?"
It turns out that the object that the Indian Girl was looking at is a crucifix, not a smart phone. Could've fooled us, though.

This will happen to you if the chuck on your drill isn't tight. Your bit will remain stuck in the material you were trying to bore through.
This photo shows the recently completed United Tower, a 50-storey structure on the coast of Bahrain. It will soon house a 5-star hotel, among other businesses, in a wealthy area of that Gulf state. The external structure rests on an octagonal base and creates the impression that it rotates counterclockwise a full 360º.

What do these organized hex keys look like to you? They look like floating stairs made out of staples to me!
When imgurian megsut121 organized some hex keys (or Allen key, if you must) at work, two questions immediate came to mind: First, who in the world would have that many hex keys. And second, do they point up or down?
Take a look at the larger pic - there's something strangely satisfying going on here.
A month ago, a water pipe burst and damaged a street in Bangalore, India. Frustrated that the authorities did nothing to fix the 12-foot-wide pothole, artist Baadal Nanjundaswamy decided to take matters into his own hands: he created a life-size 9-foot-long crocodile out of fiber glass and turn the pothole into a crocodile pond!
Nanjundaswamy's stunt worked: the authorities quickly covered up that pothole after his crocodile pic went viral on social media.
Here's what the pothole looked like before the crocodile:
Now that's a useful AND ap-peel-ing sign!
That's the Banana Cone, a bright yellow "Caution Wet Floor" sign that warns passers-by of slippery floor. Surely you've seen such a sign before, but this one is shaped like a banana peel! Talk about a universal sign of slipping!
You can get some from Amazon
, if you're bananas over things that look like bananas.
At the tender age of 9, Nathan Beifuss of California showed that his creation, aptly titled "Haiku by a Robot," fulfilled all of the requirements of a haiku, namely that it has a five-seven-five syllable structure and that it makes no sense whatsoever. Genius!
Earlier this week, metal band Slayer revealed the cover art of their new album, Repentless. The image, created by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco in collaboration with bassist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King, is definitely edgy.
While you could've easily predicted backlash from religious Christians, the band probably didn't see what the Internet saw: the uncanny similarity between the album cover image with Ecce Homo, the 100-year-old fresco by Elias Garcia Martinez, made famous when it was "restored" by an elderly churchgoer.
It took Slayer years to come up with the new album, but Metal Injection reported that it took the Internet just a day or so to release this:
What do you think? Is it an improvement?
In China, it’s a tradition to take group photos with your friends when you graduate from college. In recent years, they’ve become more and more creative, from dressing alike, which the students above from a university in Shandong Province took to the next level, to recreating movie scenes, like the students below from the Law School of Dalian Ocean University.
I have to wonder, how are they ever going to show their children which one they are? See many more graduation group photos at Buzzfeed.
Just in case you missed it, the Department of Redundancy Department, Traffic Subdivision, would like to point out that the sign is a Stop Sign.

When her school decided this year's prom theme was "Sweet Dreams" or "Candy Land," high school student Danielle Taylor said "Prom, you have failed this high school" and proceeded to design and wear this awesome Green Arrow-inspired prom dress.
I'd say that Danielle really hit the target!
