Flesh bread

The Bread Head Bakery in Thailand serves body parts made out of bread. To make these frightening baked goods even more grotesque they are painted with edible paint to look bloody and oozing. Disturbing. First seen here.

STFU

Capturing the perfect moment from nature on camera.... priceless. First seen here.

Wind powered walking structures

Theo Jansen is a talented Dutch artist who creates kinetic sculptures resembling animals, which are able to walk using the power of wind. First seen here.

Periodic table of sentiments

Kudos to whomever came up with this idea - very original and fun, particularly if you have a chemistry background like me. First seen here.

Vinyl bookends

I am using the covers of obsolete records as decoration - this would be a great way to use the records themselves as well. First seen here.

Tech support

I would find it funnier if it were not true. First seen here.

Hold on tight

My pick of a wide selection of ingenious paper cut art, sent to me by Jenny Downing. First seen here.

Fly away....

Another very creative use of small plastic figurines in a natural setting. Triggered by a buzz by Jenny Downing. First seen here.

Sudoku toilet paper

I admit - whenever I sit down at home in the smallest room for a while, I am solving sudoku's to bide my time. This toilet paper would be a great way to combine the useful with the relaxing... First seen here.

Futurama South Park

I smiled when I encountered this: the characters of one of my favourite animated series (Futurama) in the style of another one of my favourite animated series (South Park). Would be fun to do a crossover episode. First seen here.

Gotcha!

The flooding that is devastating Eastern Europe these days makes more impression than usual on me, as we spent a holiday in that area in May just two years ago. Amidst the shots of damage, this one put a smile on my face: a Hungarian man just caught this fish in the street. Bon appetit! First seen here.

The letter E

I encountered this interesting optical illusion in a buzz by Jenny Downing. Even though the actual lines are not even close to forming the letter E, that is what our mind immediately sees. First seen here.

Madonna's secret

Fun, because it is so true. Even minor imperfections get brushed away with Photoshop, let alone the natural ageing process. First seen here.

Octopus cake

This is what you get when you let an artist with sculpturing experience play with a cake. Not sure I'd eat it. First seen here.

I love New York

This clever piece of graffiti has "Banksy" writen all over it - if it is not by him, then it is a perfect imitation of his style. First seen here.

Band-aid rug

Ricardo Garza Macros is the proud designer of this weird rug - can you honestly see yourself putting a huge band-aid like this on the floor of your living room? First seen here.

Disney's Desperate Housewives

Perhaps this cartoon is more endeering than crazy, but I simply love the idea and execution. First seen here.

Mississippi

A fascinating chart, detailing all the changes in the course of the Mississippi river over hundreds of centuries. First seen here.

Progress bar

Great idea, well executed. I'd gladly go there and give them more business. First seen here.

Excuse me?

Getting a question like this in a TV Quiz show..... priceless. As is the guy's expression of shock and bewilderment. First seen here.

Oil spill

Inspired by the threatening ecological disaster of the BP oil spill in the Gulf, I have selected another fascinating little people shot by Jason Barnhart. First seen here.

Barbara Bonney's Mozart Lieder

Another album cover that is not an absolute disaster, but that makes you think: why did they go for this? Soprano Barbara Bonney may not be a movie star, but she looks quite good - but not in these clothes against this background. Image sourced from here.

Trash the dress

Trashing the expensive wedding dress has become relatively popular with young brides nowadays, but it breaks my heart - hence the mixed nuts entry. The linked site gives a great overview of different ways to do it, by the pioneer of the genre, John Michael Cooper. Picked up in a buzz by Jenny Downing. First seen here.

Order at own risk

The English translations provided in restaurants in Shanghai defy all descriptions. Anyway, enjoy your strange taste rabbit ding. Posted here.

There is always one....

No source or information was given about this shot. Great photograph as such, with its repeating patterns, but also good for a smile. First seen here.

Van Camp's Pork and Beans

My goodness. Was there ever a time when people looked at this and were not terrified - let alone persuaded to buy food that makes kids look like this? First seen here.

Sushi soap

Would you ever actually use such a set of sushi-themed soap? What a pity to destroy such pieces of art. First seen here.

C sharp

Another off-beat shot by Spanish photographer Chema Madoz, the Magritte of photography. First seen here.

Heineken R2D2

Maybe this is from a Heineken campaign, maybe it is jsut a fan getting creative. But it is a fun image either way. First seen here.

Disappointed turtle

Photoshopped or not, it brought a smile to my face. First seen here.

Zombie garden ornament

Not sure who is the bigger nut here.... the nut who designed this abomination of a garden ornament or the nut who puts down money to actually decorate the garden with it. Seen with a number of other monstrosities here.

Games you can play with....

Ummmm... better not go there at all. First seen here.

Petri dish paintings

Not the most sophisticated art, but certainly suitable for the Potpourri blog. What makes the art of Klari Resi stand out is her choice of material: she paints on petri dishes normally used in laboratories to grow bacteria cultures. First seen here.

404 - not found

An interesting list of creative "404 - not found" pages. Love the U2 one. First seen here.
