Some Weird Costumes!

It's from a series "Hope and Fear"...Where does that "Hope" part comes in there? I can see only "Fear" part in those costumes. Very weird, ugly, scary costumes I've even seen.

Phil Toledano, creator of the awesome baby suit photo, has just put up a new set of pictures in a series called "Hope and Fear." They feature many spooky, wonderful photos of people in odd costumes (like this suit of bristling toy guns, called "How to Spread Democracy") that I could stare at for hours.

Teddy Bear USB

Man this is just too mean. They stuck the teddy in. I don't want such USB. Poor thing, it looks awful.

A modder decided to empty out the guts of a teddy bear and shove in a USB stick. The head acts as the cap, and when you plug the stick into your machine, it looks like the creature from the 100 acre woods got a little too curious.

Ants Cup

A Team Japan ant dribbles up the pitch with an eye on goal during the Ant World Cup, held at the Kashihara City Insectarium in Nara Prefecture on May 26. (Mainichi)

I don't know what else to say but are they crazy or are they crazy??

The Camponotus obscuripes ants, known as Muneaka-oari in Japanese, measured between 7 and 12 mm long. They played using a 1 cm ball on a pitch 20 by 30 cm.

In the wild, the ants recognize enemies by their pheromones. The organizers of the game used this natural ability to make the ants "ant-agonize" each other, by feeding the Japanese team with Kagoshima pork and the Brazilian team with spare ribs in order to alter the ants' pheromones.

Some Nice Uses of Apple 4G

Oh well that's the coolest mailbox I've seen so far. I never like the look of Apple G4 tower but this one is just fine.

A Flickr user caught a pic of this Apple G4 tower that's been converted to a roadside mailbox in Auckland, NZ -- great use for an old, iconic tower! Via Boing Boing
