I'll Send an SOS to the World...

MelBivDevoe

In April, a man in the Shetland Islands found a message in a bottle that has recently been certified as the oldest one ever found.  It spent 98 years floating before it was pulled from the sea.  Have you ever found and/or responded to a message in a bottle?  (National Geographic)

Well, this is certainly another way to send a message.  A woman in New Zealand, recently divorced, sent her wedding ring into space on a homemade rocket.  Definitely more poetic than simply pawning the ring.  (io9)

This charming video comes to us via KatSings.  There's something for everyone here, whether you're a fan of Sesame Street, Doctor Who, the Avengers, Newsroom, the Hunger Games, or just enjoy a catchy tune.  (EW)

T. Rex.  High.  Heels.  YES.  I wish there were more details available about these shoes, like who made them and how can I buy them??  (The Gloss)

Like a Drunken Punch-Up at a Wedding

MelBivDevoe

Boy, the only thing this list of  reasons why everyone hated your wedding is missing is "because you invited horribly bitchy guests like this author."  Damn!  If you don't like the required dress code or some other petty detail, don't go to the wedding!  Easy peasy!  (The Gloss)

After the snarky commenters over at Amazon to tore down Bic's rather sexist "For Her" line of pens, Linda Holmes at NPR came up with a few  ladies-only product suggestions of her own.  #7 is brilliant.  (NPR)

Happy Geek Pride Day! Don't Forget Your Towel!

Pinky McLadybits

Did you know that every May 25th is Geek Pride Day? Did you know that it is also Towel Day? Visit those links if you are interested in the why of the date because I'm interested in inundating you with geekery that I hold dear to my geeky little heart!

Come On, Get Happy! OR ELSE.

Pinky McLadybits

I'm personally sick of all the negativity bombarding me all of the time. From other people to the horror stories in my Facebook feed, I can't handle it. So today we have only happy links. ONLY HAPPY. And we're gonna feel good, dammit!

These sorts of things are what scientists and engineers or whatever should be doing more of. I don't need a thinner television, but this woman does need the robotic arm she controls....WITH HER MIND! (Extreme Tech)

A toy horse that was part of an art installation brought together a man and a woman. They fell in love. Thanks, Tiny Horse! (Fark)

10 Sexiest Movie Superheroes

MelBivDevoe

We're pretty excited for the upcoming release of "The Avengers" this weekend, so we figured what better time for a superhero themed Hump Day list?  

(And before you nitpick, the choices were narrowed down to comic book heroes, only - so just relax and enjoy!)

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted: But Now I'm Back

Pinky McLadybits

I'm back! We're all back! Did you miss us? I hope so because I missed yoooooou!!!!

Oh, man. You know how women that use birth control to keep from getting pregnant or to regulate their hormones or to hlp them ovulate properly so they can get pregnant are sluts?? Now you can add your name and support to sluts every where!! (Sluts Across America)

After that, you may still have some anger. Perhaps it can be sated by these photos of objects at the point on explodey impact. BOOM! (Twisted Sifter)

Rage no more, my dolls. Immerse yourself in the beauty of these superhero magazine covers and movie stills. I like the Wonder Woman "We Can Do It!"-style poster the best. (Comics Alliance)

Spring THIS Forward, Monday!

Kolby

Good morning Spring Forwarders!  I trust you had a lovely weekend.  Try not to work too hard today - a study at the University of Alabama-Birmingham has shown a ten percent jump in heart attacks on the Monday after Daylight Saving time begins.  Relax with the links, perhaps?

Since we're all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this fine Monday morning, let's take a time out from the cheer to read up on the history of Daylight Saving Time.  (Live Science)

This list of 25 Fictional Restaurants We Want To Eat At has me hungry and thirsty, though I wouldn't drink the water at Fratelli's if I were you.  (Complex)

If you're anything like me, you've spent some time attempting to stretch your mind enough to even begin to imagine the scale of our universe.  This interactive scale may help put things into perspective for us.  (NASA)

I'm Not Gonna Lie, You May Be Grossed Out Today

Above a urinal. She's got my vote!

Let's start off with a couple of links concerning lady parts, shall we? Even if you don't want to, too bad! I HAVE THE POWER. Ahem.

I've seen sites with penises in costume so it is only right that there is now a site that shows breasts in costumes. NSFW. (via The Mary Sue)

Breasts are amazingly versatile and generally win the costume contests that they enter. Unfortunately, ovaries and uteruses and all of the things that cause us to ride the cotton pony monthly are less fun. But maybe all of the pain, fatigue, and cravings are trying to tell us something? (The Great Fitness Experiment)

Maybe next time the Crimson Tide comes a knockin' you can whip up a batch of these broccoli bites instead of eating a bag of chocolate-covered potato chips. They have cheese in them! (Food Renegade)
