All sold out! You can't compete with a pinniped when it comes to selling fish at a local fishmarket. After all, it knows how to "seal" the deal!
Good news: You've got a super power just like the X-Men! Bad news: The super power you've got are of the kind drawn by Lee Gatlin here in his fantastic series D-List X-Men - via Pleated Jeans
I have to say, being the Magneto of condiment ain't half bad. Ain't half bad at all!
If you could have a (completely useless) super power, what would that be?
Once you reach the mountain top guru, what question would you ask him besides how to reset your router password?
Our pal Dan Piraro of Bizarro loves to use the mountaintop guru motif for "exploring the truths of human society," and this one nails it for all the anti-social Internet-addicted hermits out there.
I suppose another downside of being a such a technologically advanced guru is that you probably get asked often how to achieve the enlightened state of being connected to the Wi-Fi.
By the way, this Bizarro panel reminds me of the Internet Dream shirt from the NeatoShop!
Cavity Mechanism #14 w/ Glass Dome (2014)
San Francisco-based artist Dan Grayber specializes in creating mechanical objects that are intricately designed for one thing and one thing only: "to compensate for the complications created by its own existence," which in this case is to hold themselves up.
And hold themselves up gracefully is exactly what they did. Take a look:
Cavity Mechanism #12
with Glass Dome (2013)
Grayber described the pieces as "counterweight driven mechanism that wedges itself into the side of a cavity (the glass dome in this case), suspending itself.

We wonder what Master Builder made this: Double Decker couch, like the one featured on The LEGO Movie:
Yes, you've probably seen it already: the double decker couch hails back from 2011, way before the LEGO Movie became reality.

It was a different world then! This LIFE Magazine pictorial from July 18, 1938 is titled "Men Now Bathe Without Tops On Many Public Beaches":
In Europe and on the West Coast topless bathing for men has long been no novelty on public as well as private beaches. But in the more inhibited East a male costume consisting solely of trunks was, until just recently, cause for arrest on almost all public beaches and raised eyebrows on many a private one.
At Atlantic City topless bathing suits are still forbidden, and only this year has Long Island's ultrademocratic Long Beach allowed men to air their backs and chests. This trend which originated on the French Riviera has seriously distressed manufacturers who claim there is little field for originality of design in trunks. For proof of their contention, see Long Beach pictures below.
Genetic engineering has gone too far! Just kidding - redditor sicknickmondo found this strawberry that looks just like a butterfly.

Peter Lynn Kite Factory in Ashburton, New Zealand built this fantastic 59-foot (18-m) 3D show kite in the shape of Toothless, the Night Fury dragon from How To Train Your Dragon 2 movie.
Donna-Marie Lever of ONE News reports that the kite was made by hand in just two months. "Hollywood sent them a toy. The task: to transform him into an 18-meter monster in the sky ... There's no computer, no flash technology - just a steady hand and a scientific mind to pull off the contract of a lifetime. Each kite is worth $5 grand."
From the Department of Unnecessary Caution Signs, here comes a warning from a dry cleaner's wire hanger that implores customers not to swallow its clothes hangers.

What grate skeleton ribs! This cheeky stencil graffiti in Paris features a full human skeleton with sewer grates as ribs. No information as to the street artist who created it, though it has inspired other artwork, like this one ice skeleton made by street artist Cemulucan:

Unless you're a five-year-old like my youngest daughter who loves her oh-so-stylish Raskullz Unicorn Helmet, or you're a guy with ample sense of humor and love wearing the Bald Head Helmet, there's just not that many fashionable choices between keeping safe and looking stylish.
Thankfully, Dr. Cheryl Allen-Munley may have the solution. Allen-Munley is a bicycle enthusiast and former Director of Transportation in Jersey City who wrote a dissertation on bike safety. She's turned her knowledge into Bandbox, a stylish line of bike helmet that looks like fashionable hats.

Bandbox helmets aren't only fashionable, they're comfy and super-safe, too. "I designed it to actually mimic the shape of the human head - basically my head," Allen-Munley said to Coolhunting, "Styrofoam—which most helmets are made out of—is not as impact-resistant as elastomeric foam, which is what we use."
After the thermoplastic shells are molded and the foam is molded, Allen-Munley assembles that hat part herself. Her skill as a milliner truly shows when women inquire about the hats at outdoor fairs, not realizing that they are actually bike helmets.

Got something to tell your parents that may upset them? You should try telling them at your school's graduation because, one, they're in a good mood and two, they're in public. Like this cheeky high school graduate's mortarboard that said, "BTW Mom, I have a tattoo"
