More map reuse, via ps-imadethis, who decoupaged maps onto a tray, an old dinner plate, and the bottom of a leftover plastic food container.
How-to:
Cut your maps in circles, long strips, or simply cover the entire surface. Be sure to cut slits on the paper so it can easily bend around the curved edges, keeping lines flush against surface. Once the paper is in place, then grab your paint brush and go to work! I suggest 2-3 coats for the [Mod Podge]. Put on evenly, and wait until each layer is dry until slapping on another coat.

Belgium-based company We-Watt has created a communal table called WeBike, which features three seats with pedals that converts cycling action into energy, allowing small groups to chat or hold a meeting while exercising and generating electricity.
My take: Anything likely to make meetings shorter is good for everyone.

Love the idea of being able to power your meeting by cycling.
Belinda Graham from The Happy Home Blog created this build a box city project for kids. It really shows just how far a cardboard box can go for little ones and made a whole city out of repurposed boxes.
Wonderful. Can’t wait to do this for my kids (when I have them!)
My dad just emailed me this huge list of puns oh my god
The maned wolf is the largest canid in South America. It is also the tallest wild canid in the world, its stilt-like legs a useful adaptation for spying prey over the tall grasslands where it lives. Despite its name, the maned wolf is not a wolf at all, nor is it a fox, coyote, or dog. It is the only member of the Chrysocyon genus, making it a truly unique animal, not closely related to any other living canid. One hypothesis for this is that the maned wolf is the last surviving species of the Pleistocene Extinction, which wiped out all other large canids from the continent.

I long to hug a chicken in this way
The 500 Colored Pencils Set is a monthly subscription for color: you get 25 pencils a month for 20 months, shipped directly to your house for an endless menagerie of colors running wild along your walls (if you buy the displays). The variety of colors alone is astounding, but check out some of the imaginative names that they’ve chosen for the colors: lettuce, mermaid’s gown, drizzly afternoon, mild curry, tragedy, norwegian sky.
I can’t cope. I need them all.

Seems like IKEA are really shaking things up this year. In addition to the previously announced TV set, they’re also going to release a digital camera made of cardboard called Knäppa (“Snap”). It’ll hold 40 photographs at a time and plugs directly into your USB port. While it’s not the prettiest camera the world has ever seen, I do love the idea of a screen-less digital camera that brings people back to the wait-and-see days of film.
Love this.
Dear people who question why girls go to the bathroom together
Hermione went alone and got attacked by a troll
Moaning Myrtle went alone too and was killed by a giant snake.
Katie Bell also went alone and was cursed by an opal necklace.
Ginny went in alone and ended up held hostage in the Chamber of Secrets by Tom Riddle
Draco went to the girl’s bathroom alone and ended up getting hit with Sectumsempra.
ITS THE TRUTH
