The Cat Hump
I’m a big fan of lolcats and other internet memes that include pets and animals. Even if this is not as widespread as the before mentioned, the cat hump might just have a shot for the internet audience. It may come close to porn for some (perhaps zoophilia porn), but it’s worth a look. Here are some kittens doing the hump.

The Bike Cemetery
In Europe, riding a bike to work is not a habit you often come across. In China and Japan, bikes are used on a much larger scale. If we’re fighting on parking spots for our cars, in Japan people go for poles and trees to tie their bikes to. And, in case you’re wondering where bikes go when they get old and rusty, there’s a special cemetery for them.

Rebel Monkeys
I’m so sick of these emo and neo-nazi trends I could hurl. There’s a softer side to it, brought to us by Julia Malanina, that used in her drawings monkeys influenced by several cultures. Called “4 out of 5″, the collection has no deep message or social meaning, it was only created to make us smile. And so it did.

The Peach Backpack
From the package: “Peach has nothing to do with justification; it’s just a backpack with a sense of humor. ” Any comments apart from “wtf?”, “are you serios?” are useless. Here’s a a very odd backback, you’d probably want to wear just if you’re a sex-shop keeper.

Peel Trident – The Microcar
Taking about lack of comfort and the sore muscles I got from jugging, I give you one of the most uncomfortable drives around. It’s Peel Trident, a microcar first produced in 1965. The car is 72 in (183 cm) long and 42 in (107cm) wide, with a weight of 198 lb (90 kg). Needless to say, the car was a disaster. Still, this old guy enjoys riding it at various car expos. Here’s the little bugger!

Smartest Flying School Ad
In one of my usual dull weekdays, while riding the subway I got hit by something totally unexpected. I was listening to music on my mp3 player, some chick got up, turned on the radio and started dancing. She was wearing a nice black dress and heels. Then she started slowly removing the dress in a very sleazy way and we all got a glimpse of the bikini. She then picked up an empty KFC bucket and started collecting change. She was a beggar, to everyone’s surprise. A few days later I read on a blog that she was advertising KFC. Similar to this, here is one hell of a brilliant advertisement for a pilot school.
