Cool

Well, there is a lot of weird stuff around the world. But I have never heard about extreme ironing. Probably, it was discovered by housewives who were bored with their chores. This what can make your day worth living: ironing at the top of a mountain. Cool, isn't it? But it is dangerous too, so think twice before you decide to do this.

Sometimes life lessons come from people, movies, cartoons or (in this case) game, you less expected. Here is a cool compilation of such life lessons coming from Pokemon. These 8-bit Pokemon inspirations will help you to improve your life.

Cheeming Boey (born April 12, 1978) is a Malaysian artist best known for his ongoing series of illustrations on paper and foam coffee cups, his daily webcomic I Am Boey, and the autobiographical graphic novel When I Was A Kid. Using only a black marker, Boey draws intricate and detailed artworks on the exterior of various coffee cups. Since 2009 he has posted his progress in a frequently updated album on Flickr entitled Coffee Cups. To date there are over 363-photos showing the final results along with process shots and various angles to appreciate the 360 degree nature of some of the pieces. Be sure to check out the timelapse video of Boey in action at the end of the post.

Countless film actors have starred in a number of biopics, depicting a range of historical and cultural figures, but how accurate is their physical likeness? By juxtaposing images of fully costumed actors with photos of the actual people they are modeled after, the viewer is given the opportunity to carefully assess the similarities.

Designer Sophie de Oliveira Barata specializes in special effects prosthetics and uses her expertise for her surreal endeavor known as The Alternative Limb Project.

Looking like her old Katniss self again, Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence stands tall and strong in the new poster for ‘The Hunger Games’ sequel, ‘Catching Fire.’ In the image, J.Law poses dramatically on a cliff while learning that one day everything the light touches will belong to her. (Or is that ‘Hamlet’ with lions? We always get those confused.) Behind her, the CGI clouds form a shape reminiscent of the Mockingjay, the symbol for which the semi-reluctant revolutionary Katniss is known. The tagline above her head reads, “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand,” which is in the opening chapter of the second book. The storyline therein involves how Katniss deals with her new, post-Hunger Games life — including training children how to survive in a fight to the death. (Thanks, allusions to ancient Rome, for your super uplifting young adult film.) Check out the entire poster in all its glory below.

Angelina Jolie: actress, director, philanthropist. And now, breast cancer activist. Jolie revealed in a self-penned New York Times piece that she recently underwent a double mastectomy, shocking and awing the world — and drawing possibly more attention than ever to the illness and to women’s health as a whole. The Oscar winner revealed that the death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, at 56 drove her to preventative surgery to prevent not only cancer, but also to prevent her own six children from having to deal with such a tough loss so young. “I carry a ‘faulty’ gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer,” Jolie wrote. “My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman. Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a 65 percent risk of getting it, on average.” Jolie’s cancer risk after her surgeries, which she details in the piece, is now down to less than 5 percent. The proud mom and partner of Brad Pitt, whom she thanks within the editorial for staying with her through every moment of her lengthy and complex procedures, will detail her surgeries on the website of the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where she received her treatment. The most stunning part of all of this? Jolie kept working throughout her recovery, which is why no one knew about her surgeries until now. Damn, lady. Major respect.

We’ve previously feature several artists who are masters of photorealism (tricking your vision into think you’re staring at a photograph, when really it’s been created by hand) – but Spanish artist Juan Francisco Casas is unique in that he only use the trusty and humble Bic ballpoint pen. No fancy paints, oils or expensive brushes – just a regular 99c Bic ballpoint and infinite about of skill, patience and finesse.

On a routine visit to his car dealership in Norman, Oklahoma, Redditor SquishyMcPhee came across a styrofoam cup that had been left behind by a former customer, but he immediately knew that it was no ordinary cup. The tiny container was covered in intricately crafted doodles with a simple ballpoint pen. Every inch of the cup is meticulously designed with patterns, text, and characters, as though it were a premeditated execution.

Dave Devries takes sketches of monsters drawn by children purely from their imagination and renders them realistically giving them a truly devilish look. His collection of drawings and paintings form a 48-page book “The Monster Engine”.

Artist Larry Moss uses airigami - which translates literally into the fine art of folding air - to create original works of art, installations and experiences that range from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluision traveled the world exploring how the eating habits differ from country to country and presented their results in a photo album, called Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The wife and husband’s team visited 24 different countries and 30 families to photograph them at home, at the market, and surrounded by their weekly food supplies. Apart from being interesting and educative, the project brings up some social issues. The exposed weekly grocery list provides information not only about dietary habits, but also about health, economy, lifestyle, etc. It also clearly shows the division between the first world and the developing countries. Interestingly, less affluent families eat more nutritious food than those who could actually afford it. On the contrary, more economically stable families eat more processed food, while fresh products constitute just a small part of their diet. Come to think of it, how much does your family spend on food per week and what kind of food do you eat?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, though it may look and taste different depending on where you're from. While in America it is not out of the ordinary to have a stack of flapjacks and bacon as a morning meal, it is wildly different from Thailand's customary fish, pork, and rice dish. World traveling enthusiast Victoria Philpott took note of the various combinations of platters and variety of breakfasts commonly eaten each day along her travels. Rounding up fifty different and delicious meals that are typically eaten in dozens of countries, the globe-trotter shares an appetizing set of images on her blog from various sources of culturally unique breakfasts. Of course, everyone's taste palette is different but it is interesting, nonetheless, to see how different cultures interpret the best meal to start your day. It is also best to keep in mind that not all dishes are strictly the only breakfast anyone in any given country eats. Sometimes there just isn't enough time to prepare a full English breakfast and, other times, you want more than a simple croissant.

Born in Argentina, visual artist Gerardo Feldstein builds sculptures featuring wacky human figures with disproportionately large hands or feet. Made out of wire and wood, the pieces portray strangely intriguing moments when perspective is distorted. Through his work, Feldstein challenges his viewers to make sense of what we see. The tiny headed figures with exaggerated features do all kinds of everyday things like point, climb ropes, and reach for things. It's a wonder how these bizarre little guys maintain any sort of balance. Feldstein says, “I see the sculpture as an extension of myself, my characters do, dramatize things I want and I can do."
