MAKE YOUR OWN PRUNO AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.

Pruno, a prison wine created from fruit, sugar and ketchup, is such a vile and despicable beast in the California state penal system that prisoners can’t eat fresh fruit at lunch.

Back in December 2002, the warden at Lancaster prison in Los Angeles County removed fresh fruit from box lunches in the maximum-security lockup, as an effort to reduce violence. Apparently, sober, scurvy-addled felons are much easier to control than drunken, violent convicts.

Delish.

A whittle goes a long way! Chinese wood art breaks record for longest carving out of single piece of timber

Artist Zheng Chunhui took four years to create this version of one of China’s most famous paintings and won the Guinness World record for longest wood carving.

I wish I had the time for such.

“Zombie” Worms Mate Inside Whale Bones

In modern pop culture, zombies are everywhere, from TV shows like The Walking Dead to books like World War Z.

But when it comes to the creepy factor, Osedax worms—nicknamed “zombie worms”—beat out even the goriest movies.

A recent study reveals that these faceless, mouthless worms enjoy making sweet, sweet love inside decomposing whale skeletons that have fallen to the bottom of the ocean floor.

Sweet, sweet love mind you.

The World’s Largest Vessel Enters The Water In South Korea

Shell has just floated the hull of the world’s largest vessel out of its dry dock in South Korea. It’s so massive that if you stood it up, it would be 1,601 feet tall, reaching higher into the sky than the Empire State Building.

I like the little tugboats.

Somebody left their roses on a park bench. This made me sad with where I’m at in life.

Feels like they were abandoned.

I just attempted the moonwalk but was unsuccessful. I was marginally good in the 80s.

A Brief History Of Octopi Taking Over The World

Octopuses, octopi, octopodes: whatever plural form used, the surprisingly smart eight-tentacled underwater cephalopods are a popular symbol of something far-reaching and sinister, both on earth and, now, above it. The National Reconnaissance Office, tasked with watching the earth through largely classified satellite programs, recently launched a new rocket into space. That rocket’s classified contents were marked with an incredibly subtle image: an octopus spreading its tentacles across the globe, over the words “nothing is beyond our reach.” Charming! In honor of the “oct” in octopus, here are eight images featuring an octopus—and similarly limb-surplused creatures—straddling the globe.

How I do heart a good tentacle.

Sometimes we fuck things up and then we get a second chance. Sometimes we fuck things up and then they’re fucked up forever.

And I say this with a smile of acceptance.

Breaking the Rules | WireTap with Jonathan Goldstein | CBC Radio

A teenage boy rebels against the rules of young love; another defies the laws of physics. Plus, Jonathan’s parents break the rules of logic by answering the age old question: which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I heart my parents dearly but would be overjoyed to have a serious conversation like this with either of them.

It’s clocks in at close to 25 minutes but there aren’t any words wasted.

And I made it easy for you to listen if your browser supports it:
