Animals often camouflage themselves in the wild to avoid getting eaten. But one artist is now using ‘urban camouflage’ to blend her subjects into a variety of famous landmarks.

Body painter Trina Merry paints people and lines them up in front of places like the White House, Grand Central Station and Giant’s Causeway.

By painting them into a modern background, Trina specialises in updating one of the oldest art forms known to man.

If you’re trying to magic up the world’s best wedding gift, give up. This guy wins all the imaginary awards for the greatest wedding gift of all time.

A man, who goes by the name duffmanszalotofthings on Reddit and Imgur, came up with the perfect wedding gift for his Harry Potter obsessed wife: a real-life version of a Pensieve.

If you need a refresher, the Harry Potter version of the Pensieve is a magical basin in which people can gaze down upon their own memories from a third-person perspective.

Yep, the humble Monday night classic – spaghetti bolognese – is under attack.

According to Antonio Carluccio, the Italian dish has been massacred in Britain thanks to our heavy handed use of herbs.

In fact, the dish as most of us know it doesn’t even exist in Italy.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that cheese is one of the best foods in the world. Cheese on pasta. Cheese on toast. Cheese on apples. The list of what foods cheese can improve is endless.

And there’s a wide variety of cheese out there, so if you’re spending your time just eating chunks of cheddar, you’re really missing out.

When it comes to lifestyle choices as an adult, moving back in with your parents does not generally come at the top of people’s lists of ‘things I must remember to do before I’m forty’.

However, due to a multitude of circumstances, from finance situations to relationship breakdowns, more and more people are turning to the trusty spare room back at chez parents.

But, no matter how close you are to them, there are some things that will take you by surprise when you make the decision to move back.

By now, you’re probably aware that the emoji you see on your iPhone look pretty different to the ones your friends see on their Android phones.

But what you might not have noticed is that one of Samsung’s emoji isn’t just different… it’s also a bit weird.

A keen-eyed emoji analyser named Dustin Howett recently noticed that there’s something strange about how the new crossed fingers emoji appears on the Samsung Note 7.

It’s no secret that London pretty much has the best of everything. And as befits such a glorious city, we have some great cocktail bars.

So good in fact, that nine of them have been official recognised as being among the 50 best bars in the world.

And five of those are in the top 10.

According to The World’s 50 Best Bars 2016, The Dead Rabbit in New York is top – after claiming second place for the past two years.

But coming in at number two is The Savoy’s American Bar, right here in Covent Garden. That makes it Europe’s Best Bar 2016.

When your disability or illness can’t be seen, it’s easy to feel invisible.

Your symptoms and experiences are hidden. What you’re dealing with isn’t immediately noticeable to others.

You can end up feeling isolated and alone, often feeling like you have to explain, defend, or prove yourself because there’s no visual evidence of what you’re going through.

Being unwell is hard enough. But the struggle of getting the support you need when your illness or disability isn’t able to be seen makes it even tougher.

One group of artists want to help make people going through this feel less alone.

While everyone understands that rejection isn’t nice, not everyone can handle it.

Well, not everyone can handle it nicely, at least.

One man who had to face the wrath of an incredibly easily-offended woman demonstrated this, after politely rejecting her proposal of a date.

Reddit user AustinSuperSaiyan posted a collection of screenshots of a ‘casual conversation with a girl [he] met’ after telling her he was simply too busy to date anyone.

Sadly for Austin, she didn’t take it lightly. But it looks like he had a lucky escape.

Halloween is a truly wonderful time of year for spook-lovers everywhere. 

Every table at this couple's wedding reception had a different Disney theme

The classic horror films, pulling epic pranks on your Halloween-hating friends and of course, the all-mighty pumpkin carving – what’s not to love?

But, with this same routine every 31 October comes the same face you’ve always carved into your pumpkin.

So why not spice things up a bit?

One Reddit user, bisoninthefreezer, certainly has – by channelling a witch’s cat into his pumpkin, which came after noticing one blemish on the outer skin that he just knew would give his creation the uniqueness he desired.

He saw a golden (well, orange) opportunity and he took it:

For most people heading to university can be a very scary period, all the home comforts, daily rituals and expectations we’re used to are suddenly about to change.

Here are just some of the things you can expect once you embark on life at university…

1. Money management

Perhaps the most daunting obstacle all freshers will be forced to overcome when they start university is money management. Gone are the days you can call on mummy and daddy to ‘lend’ you £20 for the latest Playstation game – you’re on your own.

The phrase ‘disposable income’ will quickly become a foreign one and budgeting will become a way of life. In the end it’s all worth it of… Read the full story

Oh, you’re still just heading to Costa for flavoured lattes and their salted caramel muffins? You’re missing out.

Well, not really. Those muffins are delicious. Keep doing what you’re doing if you’re happy.
