Flavorwire has put together a particularly perplexing list of ten famously grumpy authors. My favorite on this list hands down has to be Maurice Sendak. If you don't recognize the name or the face (above) he was the author of many children's books, including Where the Wild Things Are. While he had some very pointed opinions, he was also a very insightful guy when you give him a chance. Sadly, Maurice Sendak passed away earlier this year on May 8th.

Warning: Before going to the link, or Googling Maurice Sendak quotes (which I highly recommend) be aware he is a very grumpy guy from time to time - strong language will occur in many of his quotes and does so in the list provided.

Finally, a little Maurice and his opinion on e-books.

A man known as Ajarn Ton has been giving Thailand teens magical tattoos that are supposed to make you invincible. He has recently been arrested, because guess what- they don't work.

Large groups of teens, claiming to be followers of Ajarn Ton, would gather in crowded areas like markets or at carnivals to see if anyone wielding a weapon could hurt them. They truly believed his tattoos would protect them against gunshots, knifes, or whatever anyone attacked them with, but as Major General Kanisorn Noinard from the local police told AFP, “every single one of them was injured”.

Ajar Ton's real name is Boonyong Luangjumpol, which is way cooler in my opinion. Boonyong just rolls off the tongue. Boonyong specialised in Sak Yant tattoos, an ancient type of Thai tattoo that infused Buddhist prayers and supposedly invoked mystical powers of invincibility. When police searched his house they found 9 guns, 121 bullets, 18 swords and a number of fake weapons. Most of this he had collected from poor teens who traded for that tattoos because they were unable to pay up. He was at it for 10 years before police caught on.

The silver lining to this story? Ajar Ton would tell these teenage kids to wear the invincible tattoo responsibly. They just didn't listen.

Here is a Link for you guys. Ganondorf hates Link, I still don't get why, but that means he probably hates this.

Honestly though, I think there need to be more cantaloupe in this fruit-mosaic. Cantaloupe is by far the best fruit. I know what you are thinking, and I am glad you wholeheartedly agree.

Have you ever been stuck behind a school bus, kids unloading, and gotten a little bit annoyed because you are in a hurry? You probably have. Did you get a creeping temptation to drive around the pedestrian children, avoiding them by driving onto the sidewalk? Didn't think so.

Shena Hardin got that feeling early and often. So much in fact she actually went around a bus loading a disabled child by driving on the sidewalk regularly, every morning in fact. The Cleveland locals complained about it and she was eventually caught, you can watch that here.

A judge has now suspended Hardin's license for 30 days and ordered her to pay $250 dollars in court costs. Additionally, Hardin will have to stand at an intersection for two days wearing a sign that says "Only an idiot drives on a sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

Take that Shena Hardin. AP story confirms here.

Artist Olivier Grossetête created a bridge suspended by 3 helium-filled balloons over a lake in Tatton's Japanese Guarden in the UK. Personally, I don't think I would try to walk it.

Grossetête’s artwork toys with the disciplines of design and engineering, with this particular piece an extension of his earlier 2007 work 'pont suspendu' - an installation along a similar vein of three large balloons supporting a bridge-like structure, hovering over château ferry lacombe in tret, France. The work evokes a sense of abstract delicacy, transferring fanciful imagery usually reserved for daydreaming to reality.

Nelson Mandela was arrested on the spot in which this sculpture sits in 1962. He spent 27 years in custody on Robben Island before becoming the President of South Africa. Titled Release, the sculpture is made of 50 steel beams and is between 21 and 31 feet high. Created by Marco Cianfanelli, a South African artist.

A great collection of photos on how the structure was constructed here.

Megatron, leader of the Decepticons (or wide receiver for the Detroit Lions if you prefer) is throwing his hat into the political ring. Somewhere in there is a bad joke about all politicians being Decepticons but hey, he's got my vote! From redditor BergerKing80 and made into a Facebook timeline header here.

I woke up at 5:00 AM to go hiking with my dog since this whole daylight savings time has thrown my biological clock for a loop. This was my face.

Only kidding, why it's Tard the Grumpy Cat of course! Yes her name is Tard, short for Tardar (Tartar) Sauce. She is quite amusing. The cat belongs to Tabatha Bundesen and was originally posted on Reddit in September by her brother, redditor Cataliades. Also on Youtube.

Lighting a bonfire with a homemade bazooka? A brilliant and spectacular way to almost kill yourself and everyone you know. There is a metaphor about overkill somewhere in there but these guys are too busy giggling like hyenas to think about that now.
