Because Halloween Is Just Around The Corner...
What better way to celebrate the Halloween festivities than shooting up bloody brains? Yum yum. The "brain" part is actually Bailey's Irish Cream (hmmm, Baileys...) that has curdled up because of lime juice.
Make your own bloody brain shooters! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/4 oz. strawberry vodka such as Stoli
1/8 oz. Rose’s lime juice
3/4 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream
Splash of grenadine
Preparation:
Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker, shake and strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey’s Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey’s put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey’s in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey’s will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey’s.
Repeat the straw/Bailey’s process to build a “brain” in the shot glass. Add a splash of grenadine to the concoction to add the ‘blood’ to the mix. Down the hatch as a shot.

Now I'm really wondering what's next from here...
Megachurches
The image below is one of the 10 photos included in the slideshow:
Slate says:
The 16,000-seat sanctuary of Lakewood Church in Houston (at right), the nation's largest nondenominational congregation, has padded theater seats instead of wooden pews, a stage instead of an altar, and video projection screens instead of stained-glass windows. Hardly a classic place of worship, although the expansive expression of religious community in this vast space is as impressive, in its way, as any soaring medieval nave.
16,000! It's like a concert crowd! I could hear the roaring of the crowd from where I'm typing.

You texted me that last night!
What would you do if you unknowingly sent a message with rather questionable motives/content at the height of your drinking spree, something like this:
If this happened to me, I may just be sending my human-generated error to the Texts From Last Night (TFLN) website!
According to the website:
TFLN was founded in February 2009 by two friends for reasons that may or may not include: the tendency to press send more easily as the night turns to morning, friends social habits, Kwame Kilpatrick, exes, law school, closing down bars and leaving tabs open, general debauchery and/or a common disgust for all the negativity surrounding the "sexting" phenomenon.
Our goal is to create a site that was revealing in nature while concealing the identity of everyone involved. This is why we only ask for an area code to accompany your text messages.
If you think the featured message above is already funny, wait till you see the other submitted entries! Click here to read the rest!
Remember: Never drink and text at the same time.

The Ten Commandments of Facebook...
Yeah, you were an okay-looking kid. There’s nothing grotesque about you, which is disappointing. But all kids look the same and you’re old now. Stop trying to recapture your fleeting youth by pretending you’re six again. Also, I refuse to engage in a serious wall-to-wall conversation with an eight year-old boy in a sweater-vest sitting on a staircase. Why do all baby pictures take place on a staircase?
How To Freak Out Your Neighbors
An iPhone Lost Is A Life Lost...
I can understand the strict security measures with new product releases. But I don't think it has to end this way:
SHENZHEN, China — When a closely guarded prototype of a new Apple iPhone went missing at a huge factory here two weeks ago, an internal investigation focused on a shy, 25-year-old employee named Sun Danyong.
Mr. Sun, a college graduate working in the logistics department, denied stealing the iPhone. But he later complained to friends that he had been beaten and humiliated by the factory’s security team. On the night he was questioned, he sent an anguished text message to his girlfriend.
“Dear, I’m sorry. Go back home tomorrow,” he wrote, according to a message she later posted online. “I ran into some problems. Don’t tell my family. Don’t contact me. I’m begging you for the first time. Please do it! I’m sorry.”
Soon after, in the early-morning hours of July 16, Mr. Sun apparently jumped to his death from the 12th floor of an apartment building in what his employer, Foxconn Technology, says was a suicide.
Apple and Foxconn, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of consumer electronics and a major Apple supplier, issued statements last week expressing sorrow for the death. Foxconn said it suspended one security officer, pending a police investigation, and that the company was now considering counseling services for its employees.

As If They Never Really Left Us
What would be the best way to remember your dearly departed loved ones?
By wearing jewelry with pieces of their human remains! But save yourself the panic attack because we're not talking gore stuff here. Anna Schwamborn, a design student, has created a range of jewelry containing post-mortem memorial pieces which include hair and cremated ashes taken from a corpse. (See sample below)
According to Schwamborn herself:
The objects are supposed to be worn close to the body of the mourner symbolizing a lasting physical connection between two individuals even after death. This collection is supposed to remind the wearer on the fragility and appreciation of life and most importantly, acting as a keepsake.
To see more of Anna Schwamborn's "everlasting" jewelry, click here.
This would probably make interesting conversations at cocktail parties.

Yet Another Michael Jackson Tribute...
Isn't it fantastic just seeing people dance in unison in the middle of a park? I mean, seriously. :-)
What's crazy is how these guys suddenly disperse after the chorus of Michael Jackson's hit song Beat It.
I guess this goes to show just how much people miss the king of pop.
Watch it and enjoy!
