Your Kid Is Going To Have The Coolest Lunch Ever When You Use These Mason Jar Tricks

General

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); When you’re a kid, the stuff you bring to school — from supplies to lunches — is a major determining factor in your coolness level. At my elementary school, lunchtime gave kids plenty of opportunities to climb the social ladder. Pizza, cupcakes, cookies — these were all prime trading materials, and Lunchables were considered the food of the gods. Let’s be honest, though.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineSlot(‘/37886402/VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’, [728, 90], ‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF_581951d696a70’).addService(googletag.pubads()) googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_MB”, “VN_”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_SC”, “VN_ORGN”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_TS”, “TS_D”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_AT”, “VN_ORGN_PG_D_REV_1.0_ASYNC_DEFAULT”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_CC”, “VN_ORGN_D_UNK_118337_A”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_PG”, “1”); googletag.enableServices(); googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF_581951d696a70’); }); On Halloween night, most neighborhoods are flocked with herds of children waiting to add to their sugar stash. Despite living in the heart of a school district, my house never sees many, if any trick-or-treaters. With that said, my parents and I still buy loads of candy, just in case. However, more often than not we end up eating most of the candy ourselves. Even if […]

It Looks Like Water, But If You Touched It, It Would Probably Make You Very Sick

General

Mercury, as we all know, doesn’t do great things to the human body. Enough exposure to the substance can cause some serious damage, which makes it all the more shocking that an artist in Barcelona decided to construct this breathtaking fountain. While it looks pretty normal at first, this thing spews out liquid mercury. (source: mercuremiro) That really is some fine engineering work. The fountain is fortunately housed behind some thick glass to prevent the fumes from killing passersby. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/mercury-fountain/

8 Prehistoric Parasites That Even Freaked The Dinosaurs Out

General

We all know there were mosquitoes in the time of the dinosaurs, mainly because that’s how “Jurassic Park” supposedly came to be. Aside from that, we rarely talk about parasites of bygone eras. Part of this is because it’s honestly hard to find any evidence that such parasites existed long ago, but the main reason why they’re forgotten about is because dinosaurs were the coolest. Why would we discuss anything else? For the sake of being inclusive, let’s give these deadly little critters credit. Oh, and most […]

We All Made Sand Art As Kids, But What This Guy Does Is On Another Level

General

Was I the only one who slayed the sand-art game back in the day? Probably not. I remember my mom and dad covering the kitchen table and letting me have at it as a kid, at which point I proceeded to fill hollow stars and ponies with sand in every color under the sun. Were they museum-worthy works of art? No. Did my parents cringe a little bit every time I requested a sand session? You bet. And that’s what makes artist Tim Bengel‘s process so satisfying […]
