According the caption for this photo a chef spent two months making a wedding dress for his bride out of cream puffs. They live in some city in the Ukraine and the completed dress weighs twenty pounds. It is made up of 1500 cream puffs plus whatever else she is wearing. I can't tell if the flowers, crown, and neckless are also made of something edible and it doesn't say either. I assume the white portions on the cream puff dress are either powdered sugar or flour. I'd also assume that the cream puffs probably aren't filled as that would have spoiled them I think (or made them soggy).

Check out the full sized photo of this wedding dress made out of cream puffs for yourself.

Here is a Flash animation which took the artist around three months to complete where a stick figure battles the artist in the Flash interface. The artist draws the stick figure who then gets a life of his own and attempts to escape. The stick figure grabs interface elements and uses drawings to battle the artist while the artist tries to destroy the stick figure by drawing guns and turrets that fire on the stick figure. The artist is even able to tie up the stick figure a few times but he escapes each time. Finally the stick figure liberates clones of himself and really starts taking over. At this point the artist closes the Flash document that the stick figure is living in.

Check out the full flash animation of this stick figure battling the artist for his life.

In case you live in a cave and you missed it, here is a video of the space shuttle Discovery lift off today from Florida. This video looks like it is off of NASA TV but the video itself is somewhat blurry (though the sound is better than some of the news station videos of the launch I saw). Apparently there is an ESA guy on the shuttle which will be station on the ISS for six months. Also some sizable chunks of foam fell off the main fuel tank (just like before) but as far as I read they didn't mention any damage caused to the shuttle from them. Turn your base up before watching for the win.

So apparently the baby in the photo weighs around�fifty pounds and he is only nine months old. This photo is currently the most emailed photo on Yahoo right now. According to the caption for the photo the baby eats 5 liters of milk and 1 kilogram of rice flour every day. They say that he is suffering from a rare hormonal disorder but if you ask me this kid could be the next Andre The Giant. If he lives that long anyway. Usually really big people or really small people don't live very long.

Check out the photo of the giant baby for yourself.

One of the most emailed photos right now is of Darth Vader and Darth Tater at the International Toy Fair. A couple months ago Hasbro announced Darth Tater and released photos of the toy which quickly became one of the most emailed photos on Yahoo. In this photo it shows Darth Tater holding a Darth Vader "action figure" and Darth Vader holding a "Darth Tater" toy (also known as Darth Tator). I just checked the date and this photo as actually from back in February so I'm not sure what spured it to hit the top emailed photos now.

Check out the full photo of Darth Tater and Darth Vader togather for yourself.

In this photo of an article it tells a story about a man who insured his expensive cigars against fire. He then proceeded to smoke the cigars over around a months time period. After smoking the cigars he called up the insurance company and filed a claim that the cigars burned up in a series of small fires. The insurance company wouldn't pay so he sued them and won a $15,000 settlement from them. After he deposited the check the insurance company had him arrested for 24 counts of arson. He was convicted and had to serve 24 months in jail and pay a $24,000 fine.

Well it isn't everyday that you get to see pictures of steaming piles of cow crap posted on national news sites but there it is. According to the caption of the photo over on Yahoo there is 2000 tons of cow manure (aka CRAP) in a pile and it spontaneously combusted. That is a seriously large pile of cow crap. On fire. The pile of cow CRAP has been smoldering for over two months now despite attempts to put the fire out. The steaming pile of cow crap is located in Nebraska so don't let anyone from Nebraska ever tell you Nebraska isn't full of crap. Truth be told it looks like it is.

Check out the steaming (or smoking) pile of cow crap photo for yourself.
