Fur Coat Made Out Of Men’s Chest Hair (3 photo)

Here’s a coat made out of men’s chest hair. Well, presumably men’s, but who knows? Maybe we got some lady chest hairs in there too! One could hope spend their time pondering more important things. The Human Fur Coat costs £2,499 (just over $3,800) and took over 200 hours to weave. LOLWUT? Two-hundred hours? That is a lot of hours to spend doing anything. Especially anything that involves handling a bunch of random dudes’ chest hair. Thanks to The Royal Angel King for the tip. I heard his chest hair is made of angel hair pasta. Cool!

Reinterpreting Disney Princess Costumes Through a Historical Lens (7 photo)

If you grew up watching Disney movies, then you can probably picture the evening gown that Cinderella wore to Prince Charming’s ball or what Jasmine was wearing when she took that magic carpet ride with Aladdin. What you probably never considered was whether or not these signature ensembles were historically accurate. LA-based illustrator Claire Hummel, an artist for Microsoft Game Studios Publishing, decided to do some research on the subject, and the resulting images, while not necessarily the stuff of childhood memories, provide an interesting glimpse into the history of fashion.

Stunning Underwater Photos of People Fighting Against the Ocean (12 photo)

Mark Tipple, a rapidly emerging Australian documentary photographer, captures people completely out of their element in his Underwater Project photo series. Exploring Australia’s relationship with the ocean, Mark goes below the sea surface and photographs swimmers and surfers not when they’re on top of the wave, but after they get underwater and forget all about posing and smiling. Every pictures is uniquely organic, with tightened face muscles in reaction to the dive, eyes shut tightly and fingers clawing to the sand. While going through the photos, not only do you get to practically feel people’s struggle against the element, but you can also admire the beauty of the underwater world, with different shades of water splashes and the waves.

Taipei Landscapes Served in Traditional Porcelain Bowls (5 photo + 1 video)

From a young age, Shanghai-based artist Yang Yongliang has explored Chinese art and calligraphy, but, even with its thousands of years of history, he is concerned that these traditional art forms are moving towards extinction. However, the artist believes that there are ways to move this art culture into more modern times by using the newest technology and techniques and blending them with the old. He says, "As long as the characteristics don't change, the media you use to express the art doesn't matter."

Meet Norm, the Personality-Filled Pug (15 photo)

In the latest issue of Ludique Magazine, the online publication all about mobile photography, you'll find a great little story about one of the most personality-filled pugs you'll ever come across. Seattle-based Jeremy Veach has been the proud owner of Norm, his four-legged friend, since the pup was just 8 weeks old (he's now 1 1/2). Soon after Jeremy got him, he started taking photos of the photogenic dog, inspired by some canine favorites like good 'ol Maddie, and began posting them on Instagram. (Jermzlee now has almost 24,000 followers.) Most hilarious are the "selfies" where it looks like Norm is taking a picture of himself. All in all, we can appreciate how owner Jeremy always changes things up, adding funny captions and even posing with Norm in a few of the shots. "He loves the pictures and gets really into it," Jeremy told Ludique. "And when there is something he doesn't like, I can tell, and I just will move on to a new idea." Now here are some of our favorite shots.

Incredibly Colorful Rock Formations in China (11 photo)

We are living in times when Photoshop is capable of practically anything, but this time it has nothing to do with this article! Zhangye Danxia Landform in China is just one of those places that are hard to believe really exist. Located in Gansu province, a naturally formed landscape astonishes its visitors with the burst of colors – its streaks of yellow, orange and red to emerald, green and blue make it hard to believe it’s all real. The vast area of intensely colored valleys, waterfalls and natural pillars looks surreal in the pictures, reminding more of a impressionistic painting than a photograph.

School Teacher Wears The Same Outfit for 40 Years (21 photo)

There are superstars who wouldn’t wear the same dress twice, but this one teacher from Prestonwood Elementary in Richardson, USA, had himself photographed with the same outfit for 40 years in a row. PE teacher Dale Irby started his legendary yearbook photograph sequence by mistake, when he realized we was wearing the same polyester shirt and coffee-colored sweater like he did for the photo shoot one year ago, back in 1973.

The Best Selfie Ever (8 photo)

Three Nebaraskan girls, who filmed themselves storming the field at the College World Series last week, have earned themselves a possible $1,500 fine for their daring stunt but at least have a couple of amusing cell phone videos to remember it by. The girls, who appear to be sisters, rushed onto the field during the series final between UCLA and Mississippi State on June 25 in Omaha. They captured every detail of their brush with the law on camera-phone - including a rather disgruntled looking security guard wrestling them off the field. Kayleigh, Emily and Torrie Hill let their social media followers know of the daring plan while sitting watching the game.

NEWS: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi Has Been Removed From Office (2 photo)

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi previously had one claim to fame – he was the country’s first president elected through a democratic process. As of this afternoon, he now has another nail to hang his hat on – he was Egypt’s first democratically-elected president to be ousted from office. In a television address earlier today, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi declared that Morsi is no longer in charge of the country, as he has been effectively overthrown in the wake of the incredible protests that have filled the streets of Cairo for the past several days. The announcement by the army follows the ultimatum that it issued to Morsi to either reach an agreement with the demands of the millions of people calling for his resignation or be removed from office. Despite the pressure from the protesting party, the Tamarod, Morsi remained steadfast that he was the elected leader of Egypt. Today, “was” is the key word. Morsi is now in hiding as the protesters and his opposition celebrate their victory, while Egypt’s government will be controlled by the head of the constitutional court until new elections can be held, according to Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, a commentator on Arab affairs, whose Twitter feed has served as a good source of both the news and emotions coming from Cairo today.

BREAKING NEWS: Doug Engelbart, Inventor Of The Mouse, Has Passed Away (1 photo + 1 video)

American inventor Doug Engelbart passed away last night at the age of 88 from kidney failure, and while he’ll be known as many things – husband, father, grandfather and the creator of hypertext – he’ll forever be known as the man who invented the original computer mouse. In a 2004 interview with Wired, Engelbart offered some insight into his technological legacy that he first started developing more than five decades ago. I first started making notes for the mouse in ’61. At the time, the popular device for pointing on the screen was a light pen, which had come out of the radar program during the war. It was the standard way to navigate, but I didn’t think it was quite right…We set up our experiments and the mouse won in every category, even though it had never been used before. It was faster, and with it people made fewer mistakes. Five or six of us were involved in these tests, but no one can remember who started calling it a mouse. I’m surprised the name stuck. (Via Wired, H/T to Tech Crunch) Engelbart patented his mouse in 1970, but it didn’t become an everyday computer accessory until 1984, when it was included with the Apple Macintosh. However, according to Fox News, Engelbart’s patent expired just three years later, after which the patent became public domain and he never made much money at all from the mouse. Regardless, between the mouse and his many other accomplishments, Engelbart is remembered fondly in his industry as a man who saw the future of today’s computers and networking long before anyone else.

Miley Cyrus Thinks She Was Lil Kim In Another Life (1 photo + 1 video)

Miley Cyrus recently sat down for an interview with Billboard.com to discuss, among other things, her musical inspirations, and she named the five female singers who have had the greatest impact on her. For starters, she mentioned her godmother Dolly Parton as being the influence of her childhood, and followed that up with Joan Jett, because she “represented a time when females weren’t supposed to come out and kick ass” and that’s a pretty solid 1-2 punch. Her third choice, however, was a bit more intriguing, as she said that it’s Lil Kim because “She just is” and then it got a little confusing. “In my past life, I feel like that was me, like Lil Kim is who I am, like, on the inside, and she just makes me happy listening to her music, and she is, like – I just love her.” I don’t know if that means that Miley thinks that Lil Kim is dead and she was Lil Kim before she died, or if she means that in her past life, she was someone like Lil Kim. I think it’s the latter. And does she mean that she’s Lil Kim pre-plastic surgery or Lil Kim after plastic surgery, because there’s a pretty big difference these days.

LEGO’s New ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Tower Of Orthanc Is Pretty Amazing (7 photo + 1 video)

One of the cool things about having young nieces and nephews is that I can buy them the latest and most awesome LEGO sets under the complete guise that I’m going to help them put them all together so they can play with them. But what they don’t realize is that they’re mine! They’re all mine, so they have to keep their grubby little fingers off of them! Next up on the list? The relatively new Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc set that just debuted on the official LEGO online store. Back in April, the three designers behind this awesome toy project recorded a video (after the jump) explaining what the massive tower would come with, and for the hefty price of $199.99, LEGO enthusiasts and LOtR fans get the six-floor tower, 5 character figures, as Great Eagle and their very own Ent. Although, for $200 I should be able to summon my own army of Uruk-hai.
