Bottled Unicorn Burps & Tears Unicorns—or more specifically, the bodily secretions of unicorns—have become quite popular recently. But why stop at Unicorn farts lip balm and Unicorn Poop cookies? Now you can enjoy the sweet scent of unicorn burps and tears too. Essence of Unicorn Burp and Unfiltered Unicorn Tears are available from the Museum of Unnatural History in Washington, DC… which is not so much a real museum as it is a store featuring surreal “artifacts” from an imagined history.

Have you ever read an informative book, only to later remember just a few main points — if anything at all? The problem might be that you’re using one of the least efficient ways of learning available. The Cone of Learning I remember back about 7 years ago when I was taking music lessons at school, there was a poster on the wall that really grabbed my attention. Image Credit After doing some research, I found that the contents of that poster were based upon the work of Edgar Dale back in 1969. Today, many of you may know this as the Cone of Learning, but beware: although the cone is in fact based upon the results of Dale’s research, the percentage figures were never actually cited by Dale, and added by others after the initial investigation. Based on the research we can see that: The Cone of Learning suggests why you are more likely to remember parts of a movie than you are from a book on the same topic. Learning Almost Anything

Design Observational study. Setting Tromsø, Norway (near the North Pole), and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Participants Five healthy human volunteers, two adult reindeer, and a patient with grade 3 nasal polyposis. Results Similarities between human and reindeer nasal microcirculation were uncovered. Introduction Methods Human volunteers Reindeer
Really Really High Waisted Pants I heard high-waisted pants were making their way back in style, but this is cray cray. Here’s yet another piece of fashion (and I use the term loosely) from the wacky (I’m being polite here) minds of Viktor & Rolf. These are really really really REALLY high-waisted pants. Viktor & Rolf call the creation a Top Belt Jumpsuit. I call it goofy as hell.

Two Lists You Should Look at Every Morning - Peter Bregman by Peter Bregman | 11:00 AM May 27, 2009 I was late for my meeting with the CEO of a technology company and I was emailing him from my iPhone as I walked onto the elevator in his company’s office building. I stayed focused on the screen as I rode to the sixth floor. I was still typing with my thumbs when the elevator doors opened and I walked out without looking up. Then I heard a voice behind me, “Wrong floor.” The world is moving fast and it’s only getting faster. So we try to speed up to match the pace of the action around us. But that’s a mistake. Never before has it been so important to say “No.” It’s hard to do because maybe, just maybe, that next piece of information will be the key to our success. A study of car accidents by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute put cameras in cars to see what happens right before an accident. Now is a good time to pause, prioritize, and focus. List 1: Your Focus List (the road ahead)What are you trying to achieve?
A Whimsical Balloon Supported Coffee Table The UP coffee table by designer Christopher Duffy is suspended by balloons. Well it looks like it is.

New Pizza You Can Eat For Every Meal Scientist Mike Lean (NOT to be confused with Mike Lean Cuisine) has created a sea weed based pizza which contains all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you need if you eat it 3 times a day, every day. I’m just not sure how I feel about this. Yeah, my mom would feel a lot more comfortable with pizza making up my entire food pyramid (which makes total sense considering it’s a TRIANGLE and don’t get me started on the four basic food groups: dough, sauce, cheese, pepperoni), but what the hell is a pizza without the greasy-greasy? I’m talking like the kind that you need no less than 6 napkins to mop up the fat juices. So greasy it just slides down my throat and lands in the pizza party in my stomach.
