The best thing most of us will ever make out of a balloon is a snake.
Then there are the people that can make a dog or a rabbit, shattering our artistic dreams with a few twists.
And then there’s a woman called Molly Munyan from Kansas City, Missouri, who makes entire ballgowns out of balloons.
Yep – from cute frocks to prom dresses, Molly uses balloons of all shapes and sizes to create wearable art pieces.
Everyone’s felt at least once that their problem is too small or stupid to pay a visit to the doctor for.
And then there are the people who go for stupid reasons anyway.
No, they’re not there because their chest infection isn’t severe enough for antibiotics or because they’re a little tired but for truly idiotic reasons.
Over on Reddit, doctors are sharing the most ridiculous ailments that patients have either come in for or called about.
And whether it’s the guy who feared for his life after getting a static shock, or the one questioning his sexuality,… Read the full story
Virtually every culture has some sort of pancake recipe and no wonder. It’s a combination of simple pantry ingredients and leftovers, either savoury or sweet.
Today is Apple day and I celebrate it with a Dutch style pancake: large and puffy. Add apple slices and this recipe is reminiscent of a Dutch apple cake or a tarte tatin.
What’s more, it’s very easy to make for brunch or tea. here’s the recipe for you to try at home – it’s simple and delicious.
You need:
160g plain flour
200ml whole milk
3 large eggs
6 tbsps caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste
1 tsp sea salt

Sometimes we try to do something good, and people just don’t appreciate it.
Sometimes they take the p*ss, and we wonder why we bothered trying to be nice in the first place.
It sucks, right? It kind of makes you lose faith in people’s kindness and the value of random good deeds.
With that shared, difficult experience in mind, please enjoy artist Heather Wise’s restoration of a statue of Mary and baby Jesus outside Ste Anne des Pins Catholic church in Sudbury, Canada.
Whenever Kendall and Gigi are involved, the fashion world just can’t catch a break.
There was the time Vogue tweeted about their supermodel status, and people couldn’t stop trolling them. There was the time other models kept slamming them as a package deal. And, most recently, when Gigi Hadid said she was still learning to walk on the catwalk and everyone said ‘WE KNOW’.
This time around, Gigi and Kendall appear on the cover of W Magazine together.
They’re wearing matching dresses. They’re holding puppies. Everything’s wonderful.
Except… wait a minute… GIGI AND KENDALL DON’T HAVE KNEES.
Last week, Nando’s joyfully announced the arrival of a new burger to the menu.
The Sunset Burger is made up of two flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken thighs, melted cheese, spinach, and smokey red pepper jam, sandwiched between a sweet Bolo do Caco bun.
It’s delightful and lovely and we were very excited.
But there was one part of Nando’s announcement that they mumbled, quietly, so we almost missed it: the Sunset Burger’s arrival means that the Churrasco Burger has been shoved off the menu.
It’s the question we’ve been quietly pondering since Bella and Edward exchanged moody stares in Twilight.
Can vampires smell your period? Did vampire slaying suddenly become all the more perilous for 5 days out of every month for Buffy Summers?
Just in case you hadn’t ever given it much thought, let’s look at the facts.
Vampires are big fans of blood (even the vegetarian ones a la Stephanie Meyer) and periods do tend to involve bleeding. So presumably if you’re dating a vampire then shark week would actually be the highlight of the month.

London-born fashion designer Richard Nicoll has died in Sydney aged 39.
It’s suspected that he died from a sudden heart attack, and his death is not being treated by police as suspicious.
An ambulance was called to his apartment in Kings Cross, Australia, where Richard had been living for the last year after putting his fashion label on hold.
He was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in the early hours of October 21, where he later died.
Dogs are blessed creatures. Find me someone who hates dogs and I’ll show you a monster.
They’re so loyal, so cuddly, so greedy – what the hell isn’t there to love?
And they’re incredible even when they’re asleep.
But have you ever wondered what your canine pal dreams of when they close their little silky-lidded eyes?
People magazine asked a Harvard psychologist about the differences between human dreaming habits and those of their pets.
And obviously dogs came out of it even more perfectly cute than before.
Because it turns out that dogs DREAM OF THEIR OWNERS’ FACES.
‘Humans dream about the same things they’re interested in by day, though more visually and less logically,’ the researcher said.
‘There’s no reason to think animals are any different. Since dogs are generally extremely attached to their human… Read the full story
Cast your mind back to 2002 and, chances are, the predominant image that will pop into your mind is the UGG boot, otherwise known as the shoe version of a hangover.
It was a boot that gloried in being ugly, that left us all walking on the ankles, went soggy the second it rained and never recovered, but was so comfortable, we forgave it all those sins and determinedly carried on wearing them anyway (sometimes with mini skirts, which made absolutely no sense).

But this repeatedly brings up the question: Should we intervene in nature to save wild animals?
Wildlife photographer for National Geographic and marine biologist Paul Nicklen has faced the question of what to do a number of times.
Last week Nicklen and his team of two assistants were conducting an ecological study in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Look, we all like to tell ourselves we love Halloween and all it entails.
We like the idea of making tiny cakes to give to trick or treaters. We like to pretend we enjoy the hours spent trying to find the perfect Halloween costume.
And most of all, we tell ourselves that we actually enjoy carving a pumpkin, even though we are awful at it, it takes ages, and there’s a high risk of personal injury due to all the sharp tool wielding.

Few can forget the image of a syphalis-riddled prostitute ignoring her child as he falls to his death.
Nor the sight of a body being lifted into a wooden coffin, the barber hanging in his own shop and drunks hauled off in wheelbarrows.

Pizza is such a versatile food.
It’s traditionally served hot at lunch or dinnertime – but it’s just as delicious cold the morning after. It’s as good with soft drinks as it is with booze. It can have any number of different toppings.
So it’s hardly surprising that someone’s tried to push the boundaries of what can be done with a… Read the full story

Real talk: we’ve all seen a couple on the street and wondered why they’re together. It might not be very PC, but the truth is, most of us tend to date someone who’s about as attractive as we are.
So when you see someone whose parents might have been cousins walking down the street with someone who’s parents might have been Greek gods, you do have to wonder… How does someone divinely good looking end up with… Read the full story
