Keep An Eye Out For The Saharan Dust Plume!

Nah, it’s not dangerous, but it may soon be responsible for some cool sunrises and sunsets in the southern part of the US of A. Check it:

From Weather.com: As the plume comes across America, the blue skies will fade and the sky will have a ‘milky’ haze to it. That milky haze is the dust! Millions upon millions of tiny dust particles will dance in the sky, tens of thousands of feet up, scattering the sun’s rays. This will give off an incredible affect during sunsets and sunrises.

Cool.

In Most Obvious Result Ever, Study Finds Woman Are Less Attracted To Men With Cats

The Independent- Women are less likely to swipe right on male dating app users if they are pictured holding a cat, new research has found.

According to a study carried out by scientists at Colorado State University, men who are pictured holding cats in their dating app profile photos are perceived as being “less masculine”, “higher in neuroticism” and “less dateable”.

Wait. They needed a scientific study to find this out? Please. Everybody knows men with dogs are way cooler than men with cats. Of course cat guys are less masculine, higher in neuroticism and less dateable. That’s science, man. Still, thank you Colorado State University for proving the obvious.

PS- Seriously, this is what they’re passing for scientific studies at CSU? Good God.

PPS- Countdown to someone who doesn’t understand satire posting a photo of Brad Pitt or somebody with a cat. 3, 2, 1 . . .

How Do You Perceive Time?

Let me explain. There are only two ways humans perceive time. I shall now ask you a question to determine which one you are. Here we go. If I tell you that tomorrow’s noon meeting has been moved forward by two hours, do you assume it’s been rescheduled for 2:00pm or 10:00am? If you answered 2:00pm that means you have an ego-moving perspective of time. In other words, you see yourself as moving forward through time. If you assume the meeting is now at 10:00am, this means you have the time-moving perspective of time. You see yourself as stagnant, with time moving forwards towards you. What does the way you perceive time say about you? I have no idea.

Is it weird that people perceive time differently? Not really. Ask your friends or family the question. You’ll be surprised. In fact, let’s have a poll and see what happens.

Behold, Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket!

Oh my. Recipe below.

[Type “behold” into the S:U search box to find more great recipes]

INGREDIENTS

• 3 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1/4 cup fresh or canned jalapenos diced
• 24 cocktail sausages sometimes called lil’ smokies
• 1 8 ounce package Pillsbury refrigerated crescent roll dough

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a cooking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a food processor, blend the cream cheese and jalapenos until smooth. If you don’t have a food processor just dice the jalapenos as fine as you can and blend.
3. Unroll the crescent rolls and cut each triangle into 3 small pieces. I found it easiest to chop off the pointy end of the triangle for one section and then split the remaining section into two sections.
4. Slightly press the crescent roll with your hand to flatten and spread about 2 teaspoons of cream cheese mixture on the roll. Add your cocktail sausage on top of the cream cheese and roll up. Place on the cooking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or golden brown.

Try And Bring This Guy Something He Can’t Chop. You Can’t.

I know many will scoff at this guy’s chopping claims. Surely he will me mocked. Pooh-poohed even. Haters gonna hate, man, but me? I’m all in. I totally believe him. I mean, look at that guy. If anyone can chop a tractor tire in half it’s my man right there. Dude has badass written all over him. So go ahead, take something to him to be chopped – wood, strong wood, it doesn’t matter. What you bring will be chopped or you will be paid 400 bones.

PS- If you don’t think I’m visiting http://www.whatichopped.com you’re out of your gourd.

PPS- Just did, and it is spectacular.

PPPS- He even wrote a song about chopping and it is straight fire. Seriously, click here for the amazingness.

PPPPS- On his site he has this quote: “Anything can be chopped, including your worst fear or regrets.” Perfect. 

Oops. Guy Hires Men To Break Into His House To Fulfill Fantasy, Gives Them Wrong Address

The BBC reports that the two men, armed with machetes, aimed to carry out a client’s fantasy of “being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom”, except they entered the wrong house.

The role play was arranged over Facebook by a man near Griffith, New South Wales, who provided his address to the hired pair.

“He was willing to pay $5,000 if it was ‘really good’,” one of the men said.

However, the client moved to another address 30 miles away without updating the two men. They then entered a home on the street of the original address. When the resident noticed a light on in his kitchen at 6:15am, he assumed it was a friend who came by daily to make morning coffee.

When the men called out the name of their client, the resident turned on the light, and saw them standing above his bed with the machetes. At this point one of the machete-carrying men realized their mistake and one of them said, “Sorry, mate”, shook the shocked resident’s hand, and left.

In handing down a not guilty verdict, a judge stated that all evidence pointed to an honest mistake.

Oops?

Is there any reaction more Australian than after breaking into someone’s house while brandishing machetes you realize your mistake and then say, “Sorry, mate” and shake the guy’s hand? I think not. The intruders probably went back home, threw some shrimp on the barbie and had a good laugh about it.

And how about the dude who hired them? Don’t you think the correct address m-i-g-h-t be a crucial detail? Crikeys, man. Get it together client who wanted tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom. You’re better ‘n’ at.

PS- Australia, man. First the apology and then the judge called it an honest mistake. Can’t imagine this happening anywhere else.

PPS- Except Canada.

Cool Animal of the Day: The Desert Rain Frog

Check out that Desert Rain Frog, man. Just cute as a button. Dude looks like a tiny, sad beanbag chair. Sometimes called the Black Rain Frog, this guy is only found on the southern slopes of the Cape Fold Belt in South Africa at elevations of up to over 3,300ft. Since it is a burrowing species, it inhabits forest fringes and doesn’t even need the presence of open water. Cool. Anyhoo, Desert Rain Frog.
