SMOKE BREAK #1038: On The Often Very Strange Border Between The US & Canada
daniprettothis is hilarious
(via) Super funny explainer of oddness C.G.P. Grey has taken an insightful and humorous look at the lengthy border between Canada and the United States. It was drawn before the invention of GPS (natch) and so was arbitrarily imbued with 8,800 kilometers of serious weirdness. Bonus: “no-touching zone”.

Spanish Village Hand-Delivers Un-Scooped Dog Poop Back to Offending Owners
daniprettohe he: poop task force
One village in Spain is taking its dog poop problem into their own hands. Faced with uncollected dog poop littering their streets, the village of Brunete has formed a poop task force, comprised of twenty informers, who rat out owners who don’t clean up after their pups. The patrol then hand-delivers the guilty parties a gift – the “forgotten” poop.

Fancy Puppy Born With A Mustache
daniprettoTOOO CUTE!
This is a puppy who was born with a mustache. It’s pretty impressive. Plus 7 different kinds of classy. I once knew a guy who was born with facial hair. And a couple of teeth. Plus a beer gut. That was a face even a mother couldn’t love! Including his own mother. He definitely wasn’t classy either. Just goes to show, dogs can get away with stuff that people can’t, like peeing on fire hydrants or begging for treats. It’s so unfair!
Heck Yeah, Whiplash!: A Street Legal Bumper Car
daniprettoyes please
![bumper-car-1.jpg](http://geekologie.com/2013/06/06/bumper-car-1.jpg)
Everything works on this car. The body is custom one piece fiberglass. Paint is really shiny but does have fiberglass cracks, see photos. Have all original factory workshop manuals and also original glove box handbook that comes with car. Motor has slight oil leak due to age, two or three drops only overnight. Has no catalytic converter. One can be installed if required. This one-of-a-kind "bumper car" is a real head turner, can't drive anywhere without people staring. Lots of fun wherever you go!I'm going to buy it. I'm going to buy it, then drive through traffic running into every car I see with my hands in the air yelling, "I don't have insurance!" Eventually, somebody will pull me out of the car and beat me to a bloody pulp. If I don't die, I will sue. Hit the jump for a couple more shots.
Fancy!: A Chandelier Inside A Light Bulb
Young & Battaglia designed the King Edison, a light bulb that has a functional mini-chandelier inside. You can buy your very own fancy-ass chandelight bulb over at Mineheart for just $600.

Now if someone would help me scoop up all this brain matter and maybe call an ambulance, that would be really helpful.

Grandparents Build an Amazing Victorian-Style Treehouse for their Lucky Grandkids
daniprettoa tad bit over the top, no?
Back in the day, our grandparents didn’t give us much more than a handful of toffees and a few shiny nickels. But these lucky grandsons received something much more spectacular from theirs—an unbelievable treehouse complete with decks, a pitched roof, a tube slide, a suspension bridge, and much more! Steve and Jeri Wakefield hired architect James Curvan to design a multi-level treehouse for their little ones using found objects and antiques. What resulted was an enchanting treehouse that brings together formal architecture and child-like imagination.

They’ve got big screen TVs that show gameplay footage, and menu items like the Triforce Burger, and the Chocobo Chicken Burger. Woah, wait a minute?

See You In Hell: Rich Parents Hiring Disabled Guides So Their Brats Can Skip To The Head of The Lines At Disney
![disabled-disney-scamming.jpg](http://geekologie.com/2013/05/16/disabled-disney-scamming.jpg)
"My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World' -- the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours," crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida. The "black-market Disney guides" run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day. "You can't go to Disney without a tour concierge,'' she sniffed. "This is how the 1 percent does Disney." The woman said she hired a Dream Tours guide to escort her, her husband and their 1-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter through the park in a motorized scooter with a "handicapped" sign on it. The group was sent straight to an auxiliary entrance at the front of each attraction.I can honestly say I've never wanted to believe Manhattan housewives get their kicks from trolling more than I do now. 'This is how the 1 percent does Disney' -- with a disabled stranger toting you to the front of every line? Now kids: don't talk to the handicapper, they only work for us, they're not a friend. I mean I understand the money, but I'm surprised the disabled folks are cool playing along with the scam too. I'm going to start posing as a disabled Disney guide, then, as soon as we get to the first line, stand up out of my wheelchair and yell, "It's a miracle!" before diving into a loud, lengthy shaming of the parents in front of everybody in line. Now that's a vacation your kids will never forget. Thanks to E V I L A R E S, who's so evil he's the one that came up with this scam in the first place.
Mt. Everest Glaciers are Rapidly Melting, and Humans are Probably to Blame
daniprettoto my earlier comment: oops
Image via Shutterstock
The glaciers atop Mt. Everest are melting at an unprecedented rate and anthropogenic global warming is likely to blame. The news comes on the heels of reports that CO2 levels have reached their highest in human history, surpassing the 400 parts per million mark, and climate change is shifting the location of the North and South Poles. Researchers from the University of Milan say that ice coverage on top of Earth’s highest mountain has shrunk by 13 percent in the last five decades.

Protea Debuts a Fetching New Wine Bottle that’s Designed to Be Upcycled
daniprettocute
It’s Friday, which means many of us are just counting the minutes until happy hour. After enjoying a bottle of wine, it’s always a bit sad to dump the bottle in the recycling bin. Although there are plenty of upcycling options for wine bottles, many require a fairly large dose of creativity. Protea (PROH-tee-uh) is a new brand of wine that aims to unleash your inner upcycling genius while complementing your favorite dinner. Each Protea bottle is specifically made to be reused – for floral displays, to hold olive oil, or as a beverage container. The possibilities are practically endless!

Elio Motors Unveils Three-Wheeled 84 MPG Car That Costs Only $6,800
daniprettoit's not a flying car but it looks pretty cool!
A brand new car that gets 84 MPG and costs less than $7,000 sounds too good to be true, but Elio Motors just unveiled a new three-wheeled vehicle that hits all those marks. The affordable two-seater Elio gets amazing mileage, and it’s small enough for a congested urban environment.

Australia’s Largest Solar Cell Printer Can Spit Out a Photovoltaic Panel Every Two Seconds
An incredible new printer at the University of Melbourne has allowed researchers to print solar cells up to the size of an A3 sheet of paper. Developed in collaboration between the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (VICOSC), CSIRO, and the University of Melbourne, the solar cell printer makes renewable energy even easier to source.

Every Delicious Thing You Need To Know About The “Brewery & The Beast” Meatfest
The coming of Brewery & The Beast (June 16th) is giving local foodies and beer lovers serious pleasure palpitations, and for good reason. Aside from helping to benefit the BC Hospitality Foundation (an awesome group that supports people in the restaurant industry during times of need), Brewery & The Beast is all about allowing our top toques the opportunity to express their love of high quality, hormone and antibiotic-free, ethically raised meats sourced from farms around Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley, and Northern Alberta. That means sausages, smoked meats, cured meats, barbecued meats, whole lamb and pig roasts, and much more. It’s a meatery, a meat-in, a meatfest, a meatasborg, a meat heaven — the kind of one day feast that discerning carnivores would fast for, complete with live music from The Electric Timber Co.. The official word…
The original concept was simple: a large-scale meat-themed event held in the backyard at The Phillips Brewery, featuring well-known chefs skewering, grilling, and carving their creations for enthusiastic guests. “Overall it was a huge success and it inspired us to bring a fun, unique, and educational event to other markets,” says Scott Gurney, Event Coordinator and Creator of Brewery & The Beast. “We are excited to introduce Vancouver to the concept and showcase local and regional farms through the talent of Vancouver’s top chefs.”
If the Victoria event sounded fantastic (and it did), consider Vancouver’s line-up: Wildebeest, Hawksworth, Forage, Vij’s, Maenam, Campagnolo, Bestie, The Butcher & Bullock, CinCin, Peckinpah, Big Lou’s, The Bottleneck, The Cove, Lolita’s, Two Rivers Specialty Meats, Houseguest, Black + Blue, Edible Canada, Nuba, Oru, The Refinery, The Dirty Apron, West, Pourhouse, Glowbal, Cibo, Meat & Bread, Memphis Blues, Ebo, Tap & Barrel, Elements (Whistler), Bull Chophouse (Sunshine Coast), and Smoken Bones Cookshack (Victoria). That’s a lot of kickass right there! Attendees will be refreshed with the good stuff from the Phillips Brewing Company, Vancouver Urban Winery, and Mamette Lake’s own Left Field Cider. They can also expect plenty of homemade sodas and traditional iced teas.
The beery, 19+ event goes down outdoors at the Concord Pacific Lot (88 Pacific Boulevard – see map above) from 1pm to 4pm on Sunday, June 16th. That’s Father’s Day, folks! Tickets are $79, limited, and available in advance only (score yours here right now). We can’t stress this enough: there won’t be any tickets for sale at the door. You must purchase your tickets in advance.
We can’t tell you what everyone will be roasting or BBQing or sausaging or otherwise making, but this video and the photos below it – shot at the first Brewery & The Beast event in Victoria last summer – will give you a good idea of what to expect…
We’ll be seeing you there, just so long as you don’t forget to buy your tickets ASAP.

Chinatown & Richmond Night Markets Opening This Weekend
You know it’s officially summer time when the Vancouver night markets open up again for the season. This Friday, the Richmond Night Market and the re-vamped Chinatown Night Market are set to open for the long weekend.
This year, the Richmond Night Market is charging admission. So, that must mean it’s better than ever before — right? Well, hopefully we’ll find out this weekend how the Richmond Night Market can justify charging us a twoonie where we were never charged a twoonie before.
The Richmond Night Market is situated right next to the Canada Line (convenient!) and has tons and tons of food vendors. Which is what we’re all looking for right? So, you can have your fill of dragon’s beard, potato tornado, and squid balls. You can also buy tons of cheap and crappy merchandise from all of the booths. We’re just going for the $5 socks with Totoro’s face on them. Please don’t try and win a goldfish
The Chinatown Night Market has undergone a complete makeover for this year. And, if you’ve been to the Chinatown Night Market in the past, that is a very good thing. The CNM was a very small and somewhat disappointing market that paled in comparison to the RNM. But, they did have Potato Tornados, and free entrance.
The “new” Chinatown Night Market is featuring live music, Mahjong, new vendors, more food, outdoor classic movie screenings, and epic ping pong tournaments.
Whether you are planning on going to both markets, or just one, don’t forget to go on an empty stomach, bring your haggling skills, and buy plenty of pikachu socks!
The Richmond Night Market is open from 7pm to 12am on Friday and Saturday, and 6pm – 11pm on Sunday. (website)
The Chinatown Night Market is open every weekend from 6pm – 11pm. (website)
Business Card Is A Mini Cheese Grater
This is a business card advertising Bon Vivant, a Brazilian-based cheese shop. As you can see, it’s doubles as a cheese grater. Clever! Worried about grating your ass cheeks if you slip the card into your back pocket? Well, worry no more! Your precious tushy flaps are gonna be fine as long as you utilize the protective sleeve that comes with the grater. Genius! They really did think of everything, didn’t they? Oh — except cheese samples. I definitely think this thing should come with some cheese samples.

Tester #1: "Thought it was a Dream Pillow - Very Comfy." and Tester #2: Said she could fall asleep easily, and actually almost forgot she had breasts."ACTUALLY ALMOST FORGOT SHE HAD BREASTS." Now that's a magical pillow. It's a shame they don't make a guy version because I'd be curious to know what it feels like to fall asleep without a penis. "So...a pillow with a hole to rest your pecker in? That sounds like a cheap love doll." I'm realizing that now. Hit the jump for a couple more shots of this year's must have Christmas gift.

Sushi Cats: A Bizarre Photoseries
daniprettowtf
Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts brings us this photoseries called Sushi Cats. The set features shots of kitties laying on a bed of rice, wearing some kooky-ass costumes and accessories. Like a lobster. Or knitting needles. What is going on here?! I’ll tell you what: magic. Jk jk, it’s a whole lot of WTFery. Sometimes I get the two confused! Last week I thought I was at a magic show. Turns out I was watching to homeless dudes fight in an alley way. Boy was I embarrassed! And considerably disappointed because I was expecting to see some cool tricks.
It’s The Future: Horizontal Toaster
danipretto@lau & andrew!
This is the Arzum Firrin, a toaster that looks like a MRI scanner for bread. But it’s not. This device toasts bread horizontally. Because why? I think the real question here is why not? Actually, no — the question is definitely why. What’s wrong with the regular vertical type toster? Other than how easy it is to get my bagel stuck down in there and it starts burning so I have to grab a knife to try and pry it out and I don’t really remember exactly what happens next except that I’m on the floor and in a lot of pain and half of my kitchen’s on fire. Yeah, so other than that small detail… what’s the hell’s wrong with a vertical toaster?
