Cats That Look Like Pinup Girls

Halloween is nearly here, my lovely Inkers! To celebrate, check out this "haunted house" that was brought to my attention by reader Shonda. (Blackout Haunted House)

Yes, you read that correctly. You have to sign a waiver, you must go through alone, there may be nudity, the actors are allowed to touch you, and you can't be prone to seizures or keeling over from fright. I had to find out more. Check out these walkthroughs of the different seasons of Blackout. (The Jaded Viewer)

Saints Preserve Us, Wherever We May Fall

Artist Jska Priebe has turned some of the most beloved female sci-fi characters into saints, like Leeloo over there.  I wonder, what would she be the saint of?  Travelers?  (The Mary Sue)

Saturday Night Live is now actively seeking suggestions for their musical acts from the internet.  There's no way this could possibly backfire.  (AV Club)

Boy, Fox News needs to vet their guests a little better, if this young comedian can get through and troll their hosts live on the air.  (Superficial)

If you've not yet heard the leaked video in which Mitt Romney reveals his true feelings about voters who back Obama, then you need to do so now.  In a surprising move, Romney held a press conference to confirm that yes, those are his beliefs.  My takeaway?  If you make less than $200,000, his insane idea of "middle class," then you mean nothing to Romney.  (Gawker)

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Here And It Ain't Fluffy

MelBivDevoe

I knew this day would come, but I was really hoping it'd be zombie bunnies, not humans. They're so fluffy and cute! Who'd be afraid of a widdle bunny?

Ok, ok, it probably WASN'T a real zombie attack, but still, this news report out of Miami is pretty horrifying! (Gawker)

Speaking of zombies, here's an ominous tweet that might have you scrambling for a shotgun. "Institute for Genomic Biology" + "seek shelter" = "We're DOOMED" in my mind. (io9)

Friday The 13th: I Hope You Weren't Planning On Camping Tonight

Good Lord, this is ADORABLE. A very intelligent kindergarten teacher has her class compose Tweets about what they do during the day. I can't even begin to count the skills that this helps them practice. Well done, Mrs. Aaron! (New York Times)

It's the day before the weekend and maybe you'll be on the lookout for a new place to dine out. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your experience. (The Atlantic)

Don't Meme Me, Bro.

Pinky McLadybits

Sometimes I worry that a photo of mine from Facebook will somehow end up a meme. That would piss me off. Here are 9 people who had photos that became memes. (Mental Floss)

You know what would probably make me feel better? This delicious ham, bacon, and cheddar strata. I am drooling right now! (Persephone Magazine)

Then perhaps I can light up a spliff with Pat Robertson. LEGALIZE IT, MON! (NY Times)

Maybe a bit of ganja would make the Star Wars prequels more bearable. Probably not. I would love to see Topher Grace's cut of all three movies into one. C'mon, Lucas! Make a deal with him! (The Mary Sue)

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)

Who Will Link The Linkmen? Could It Be...YOU??

As I look at these before and after shots of Japan, I can't help but think how amazing it is to have overcome a tsunami and earthquake in 3 months. Cosmetically speaking, of course, though I think the cosmetic probably does wonders for a person's well-being. (Educated Earth)

Do you use Pfizer birth control? You'd better check to see if your pills are part of the recall. There is an error that raises the chances of becoming pregnant. Huge failure on the part of a birth control manufacturer. (Huffington Post)

Here's something odd: Elisabetta Canalis (Clooney's ex) is dating....STEVE-O! (Daily Mail)

Somehow this collection of Angry Birds post-game is less odd than Stevabetta. (Deviant Art)

How idiotic is it for an organization that purports to be against breast cancer would deny funding to an organization that helps low-income women by screening them for breast and other cancers? Very idiotic. (Evil Fox News)

Hot Links: Homemade Ice Rinks, Grape Meths, and Bearded Dragons!

Pinky McLadybits & Kolby

Marijuana use among teenagers has reached a 30-year high. You know what this means, right? More meth for the grownups! (The New York Times )

OK, I know some people don't really care for the Muppets (Communisits, the Devil...etc.), but for everyone who loves and cherishes them as much as I do are these adorable knit hats. I think I need the Animal one. (Craftzine)

A couple of 20-year olds were busted for stealing water from a fire hydrant to build their very own backyard ice rink. Man, that's cool. (ThePostGame)

Complex has put together a list of the 15 Craziest Real World Girls. I'm baffled at their choice to place Coral at number 11. That b*tch is CRAY. (Complex)

Lucy is an American Staffordshire Terrier in New York that needs a forever home. Her previous owner abused her, beating her badly and leaving her bones to set so she has a slightly twisted snout. She's lovable and needs someone to help her forget about the asshole and abused her for 3.5 years. (Petfinder)
