A London mother’s worst nightmare came to life when she found dozens of venomous spiders crawling over a bag of newly-purchased bananas. Just as Consi Taylor was about to bite into one of the Sainsbury’s bananas, she realized that white spots she assumed were bits of mold were in fact dozens of tiny baby spiders that Taylor had the presence of mind to photograph. They turned out to be infantile Brazilian wandering spiders, which are among the world’s most deadly arachnids.

Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities is a new, huge, beautiful look at his notebooks, scrapbooks and sketches. Flavorwire has a bunch of excerpts from the book that are quite fetching and wonderfully gruesome. Some of my favorites are below.

These are mind-blowing pieces, but what makes them more so is that all materials used by Tora Brasil are from managed forest areas in Brazil. Even further, Tora Brasil specializes in using discards from the mainstream furniture industry - material that might otherwise go to waste. And they create the most imposing, magnificent, jaw-dropping pieces precisely because their creations "value the work of nature". We have never seen single pieces of wood this size! Just look at the boardroom table above. It leaves us speechless. To boot, they manufacture a line of furniture for the discerning consumer (see below). And because their products are made from real wood, they are suitable for outdoor use. What a great way to blend your decor with your environs. But have no doubt, Tora Brasil pieces are luxurious enough to command attention indoors. Even their smallest pieces are natural beauties. Photo (above) by Casa Vogue The natural wood installation pieces command the space they occupy. Use the smaller pieces on your patio! What a fantastic dining table! Be creative on your patio!

You know that awkward moment when you think you're getting your photo taken but the shooter accidentally has their camera set on video? From the Nottingham Trent Students Union, "here's a super awkward montage of lots of students mistaking our video camera for a stills camera."

El Rice Cube tiene un uso muy específico: convertir una masa ingente, chillona y caótica de arroz en cubos perfectos con los que mantener una velada ordenada, sin sobresaltos y con una adjudicación de comida uniforme entre todos los invitados.

Lo sé, lo sé: la descripción del producto parece un artilugio político para el control de masas, pero para eso ya tenemos la publicidad. Sería redundante. Y el arroz puede ser redondo, sí, pero aquí estamos hablando precisamente de lo contrario, que es hacerlo cuadrado o cúbico: manipular el arroz redondo, unirlo por grupos sociales, apelmazarlo y distribuirlo para que no arme tanto escándalo. El proceso se puede ver en el siguiente cuadro sociológico:

Exacto: esos cuatro recuadros podrían representar la gestión de un país. O la forma de hacer cubos con el arroz, según se quiera (o se pueda) ver. Y ahora, que cada uno adjudique a las manos que manipulan el Rice Cube el nombre del villano que prefiera.
