Now maybe I’m super naive, or maybe this isn’t a huge deal, but when I saw this picture I had to share it, along with the story…I never knew the animal world worked so well together!

“A zebra at Zurich Zoo appeared to be staring into the jaws of death when visitors saw it nose to nose with an open-mouthed hippopotamus.
But the hippo had no intention of having the zebra for lunch – it was having its teeth cleaned.
The extraordinary sight was captured by photographer Jill Sonsteby, from Jacksonville, Florida.
She said the teeth-cleaning session lasted 15 minutes and the zebra came to no harm.”

We are so spoiled with the keyboards we have and we probably don’t even realize it. Of course much hard work came together to give us the little typing devices, here’s are some keyboards that could have been made, but really just weren’t that practical…

Another time waster?? WHY YES! Looking up funny cat videos on YouTube happens to be one of my favorite things to do when I am bored haha… So if you happen to find yourself in the need of a good laugh and something to entertain you to pass the time you MUST check out these videos.

The last one isn’t as funny as it is super creepy. But I do have to say that my favorite YouTube video of all time has to be the talking black cat, I want a talking cat!

Using Your Head

28-year-old Londoner Philip Levine started losing his hair in his early twenties, and instead of hanging on to what strands he had left, he shaved his head and embraced his new blank canvas. Levine comes up with the ideas and has professional body painter, Kat Sinclair, execute these creations on his head.

“Unlike a wig where you are hiding what may be seen as a deformity, what I do is tell people feel special, original and embrace what could be looked at as a weakness and turn it into a strength.”

Premature balding guys out there, take some inspiration from this guy. Embrace the cue ball.

Levine is planning an art exhibition showing off over 100 of his head designs, including visual art films and busts of his head designs.
