Real Birds Using Twitter
Latvian conceptual artist and creative director Voldemars Dudums created this insanely clever bird feeder using an old computer keyboard and some cubes of bacon fat.

Shark Sleeping Bag
You will be the coolest cat in the campground if you sport the Chumbuddy Shark Sleeping bag (as long as you’re under the age of 15, that is).

Hilarious ‘Pooping Dog’ Lamp Designs
UK-based artist, Whatshisname is responsible for these less-than-elegant but totally rad floor lamps featuring dogs pooping. Originally designed for London’s Art Below exhibition that was set to take place throughout London Underground stations, these poor pups found themselves deemed too offensive for the collection. We disagree. While we’re not eager to buy a pooping dog lamp for our living room, we’re sure that these babies could ...
