Madison, WI's Masked Intruder have recently become the victims of a van robbery. What is interesting to note in the incident are two factors: the first of which being that the van was broken into while parked in front of the house of one of its members, the second is the band's overall demeanor over the ordeal. It seems that the band is taking the incident in stride and has found it very comical given the subject material of most of their songs. You can read lead singer, Intruder Blue's, statement below.

IT'S ONLY BEFITTING THAT AFTER WRITING SONGS ABOUT BREAKING INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSES AND ROBBING THEM THAT WE WOULD FINALLY GET OUR KARMIC COMEUPPANCE. WE'RE NOT UPSET ABOUT IT AND ACTUALLY FIND IT KIND OF FUNNY. I GUESS MAYBE NOW WE SHOULD WRITE SONGS ABOUT WINNING THE LOTTERY.

DeviantARTist AlessandroConti brings us Inhuman Anatomy, an illustrated series of Disney characters and their innards. Needless to say, it’s horrifying. Out of all the dudes, why is Goofy the only one with a wiener? Another thing, has Minnie always had such bodacious bazoongas? Because I do NOT remember those things from the movies. And to be honest, that just definitely seems like something that would stick out to a kid. You know, an oversized mouse rocking some huge knockers.

Aperitifs are the cocktail trend of the minute, one liqueur is rising in the ranks of popularity within the world of the these herbal, pre-dinner liqueurs.

While Campari and Fernet Branca may be more familiar brands, another old time favorite is beginning to make a comeback. Suze has been around since the late 1800s, but the early 21st Century may prove to be the spirit’s most exciting time. Here’s what you need to know to impress your guests:

What is Suze?

The brand was founded in 1889 and was used in the cocktails of the time, which were much more bitter than today’s imbibers are used to. Although the yellow liqueur never really caught on stateside, that’s not because of the public’s palate. For a long time it was available only in Europe, but it’s now making a comeback with American drinkers because bartenders discovered the stuff and demanded that it become available. When bartenders talk, the alcohol companies listen.

How Does it Taste?

Like any aperitif, the liqueur’s actual recipe is a closely guarded secret, but the main flavor is yellow gentian. Yellow whaaa??? This European plant is known by the nickname “bitter root,” so you know what you’re in store for. Fans of super sugary drinks probably won’t want to get a bottle for their home bar, but if you are open to expanding your palate in an unexpected direction, you might be surprised. The root was traditionally used in medicines, and to subdue that “medicinal” taste Suze has clearly added a bit of sweet. The bitterness is played off with notes of citrus, and you’ll get some grass and earth in there as well. We would compare it to another liqueur, but like all of the brands in this category it has a flavor profile all of its own.

How Do You Drink It?

If you want to be a true traditionalist, get a glass, pour it, and go. The spirit is meant to be sipped on its own, but it can quickly become overpowering to even the most fearless drinker. Some ice helps. So does some champagne. Pour some into your glass of bubbly (preferably a sweeter variety) for an interesting burst of flavor. Or, you can just do a Suze and soda – a bit of seltzer will make the experience less intense. Add one ounce of aperitif and three ounces seltzer over ice, and instead of a lemon reach for a wedge of orange.

Some Cocktail Ideas

You can make a modified Kir Royale with the champagne or if you want to adapt other cocktails you can use this in place of Lillet in a classic Vesper - while it seems boozy the vodka can cut the bitterness nicely. [recipe]

An ice cream parlor in Barcelona, Spain serves imported shaved ice cream from Taiwan, which sounds super fancy, but looks… kinda funky. The shaved ice cream has a weird texture that some may find unappealing. The shop (aptly named Eyescream) decided to run with the whole “our ice cream looks freaky” thing and added edible googly eyes to the weird amorphous blobs of ice cream to make them look like delicious, lovable monsters. Each flavor of ice cream has its own monster persona and catchphrase like “Don’t judge me by my color.” Aww, how could I ever judge you ice cream? You’ve never judged me and you’ve definitely seen me at my worst.

You see the picture, so I don't need need to explain what this is, but I'm going to anyway. A standing knife. I repeat: a standing knife. In other words, a knife that doesn't leave a mess of peanut butter or jam or cream cheese all over your countertop. The future is here, people.

Before quadrocopters become Skynet's roaming recon fleet, they'll begrudgingly entertain us, and in a recent promotional enterprise, a swarm braved the London "spring" to remind us of the imminent launch of Star Trek: Into Darkness. Over the weekend, drone masters Ars Electronica Futurelab sent a party of 30 LED-tagged AscTec Hummingbirds halfway to Hoth, and used the relative darkness of Earth Hour to set an approximately 300-foot high Star Trek logo twinkling over Tower Bridge. A video of the event can be found below, complete with epic music and movie cut-scenes sure to send even the most Vulcan of trekkers to sickbay with hysteria. If anyone behind the promotion is reading -- please, whatever you do, just don't give them phasers.
