If you're in need of a quick laugh this morning, check out these photos of terrified "bros" from the Nightmares Fear Factory haunted house in Niagara Falls.  Lots of hugging and hiding going on!  (BuzzFeed)

Huh.  I kinda dig Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's coordinating tattoos, both portions of a famous speech.  You'll never guess the source of that speech.  (The Gloss)

I don't care what the authors of this piece think, those zombie Martian Muppet costumes are pretty fantastic.  (Vulture)

She's So Dramatic, I Want to Set Myself On Fire

Happy Monday, y'all.  Let's start things off with a laugh or two, shall we?  This tumblr mashes up images of Lucille Bluth from "Arrested Development" with actual quotes from Mitt Romney.  It's unreal how easily you could be fooled into thinking that these are quotes from the show instead.  (Lucille and Mitt)

I will never look at Joe Flacco the same way again after seeing this NFL quarterbacks/Muppets comparison.  If I ever hear him call someone a "weirdo," I might die of laughter.  (BuzzFeed)

Speaking of fashion, two of our favorite bloggers, Tom and Lorenzo, were recently featured in a fabulous New York Times interview.  I love that, after 6 years of blogging major events like NewYork's Fashion Week, they still get starstruck.  (NY Times)

I'm gonna take advantage of this space to ask for some help, guys.  Metric Jenn's dog Shoes is participating in a contest called the Fido Casting Call 2.  If you have 30 seconds, please click this link to vote for him!  For every vote clicked, the contest will donate a dollar to Dog Guides Canada, so everyone wins here!  The contest ends September 10th.

One more contest request, then it's back to the links.  Home Instead Senior Care is offering a free cruise to a deserving caregiver.  Clara, a woman whose husband has early onset Alzheimer's, could really use our help to win that free vacation.  Click here to vote through September 15th.  And thank you for your help!

Back to your regularly scheduled links!  Look, Muppet balloon animals!  If I had a Swedish Chef balloon, I'd be the happiest kid on Earth.  (Dog and Pony Show)

Guys, its happening, its really happening.  Arrested Development is back! (Gawker)

You know you've really got it made when your life can feature your own private terrifying animatronic stereotypes (io9)

A really beautiful photo of the Earth from space (Science Dump)

The finger fork: best or stupidest gadget ever? You decide.  I think its the stupidest (iwidk)

It's Wednesday. Time for some introspection. Are you a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet? (Slate)

As an Order Muppet, I feel obliged to remind you that Father's Day is this Sunday.  Need some ideas for gifts?  Here's 50 to get you started.  (Men's Health)

You know, when I was a kid, we didn't have a CD player in our car (let alone MP3 player hookups!), which meant we couldn't enjoy any fantastic audiobooks on our road trips.  Kids today don't know how good they have it.  (NPR)

Breakdown in the Beauty Aisle!

Mel Biv Devoe

I came to a realization this past weekend. I was at the drugstore, browsing the beauty section and looking for a new product to test out. I strolled through the aisles, stopping every now and then to look at all the different brands and their ever-increasing selection of foundations, powders, lipsticks, etc., etc., when it hit me: I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

It struck me as an epiphany, but anyone who knows me would be surprised that I've only just figured it out.  I've never known what I'm doing when it comes to makeup.  I have literally been using the same type of powder and mascara since I was 13.  That's 16 years now! So while I've always been clueless, it was trying to compare foundations that finally broke me.

It's National Pi Day! 3/14! Get It?

In honor of Pi Day, here is something mathematically-themed: How To Predict A Celebrity Divorce! (Time)

Also in honor of Pi Day, here is some pie. Yum. (Neatorama)

Tis a sad, sad day for fans of the enormous volumes of Encyclopaedia Brittanica. They have stopped printing. Pour out some alphabet soup in memoriam. (The New York Times)

Of course, you can still access Brittanica online. Sorry about your soup. Now they can update more quickly and stay up to date when we all bring back these obsolete words. (Matador) Thanks, Mel Biv Devoe!
