The worst of "Do it yourself" culture has manifest itself:

From the plywood car door (with complimentary chain and padlock despite a still-missing window)



To the skateboard "spare tire"



To the plastic-lined El Camino truck bed serving as a swimming pool


Human ingenuity proves to sometimes just be really dumb.

Also:
In-window air conditioner unit installed into a car and powered by a gas generator.



A missing front-wheel of a bike replaced by a shopping cart (to be fair, the guy's from tire was probably swiped while he was at the grocery store)



Sharpie paint-job on a car



Flashlights duct-taped to the front of a car whose headlights were recently smashed in a wreck.

We all know keyboard cat. Now meet his distant cousin, Piano Cat. Beautifully composed and recorded, an orchestra accompanies a pre-recorded and edited video of a cat "playing" the piano.
Enjoyable throughout, the cat does not begin until about 1:05. My favorite is the melody played by the cat at 2:52, which is then echoed by the orchestra.
Although slightly gimmicky, this is real music, and I would enjoy it without knowing it was a cat playing the piano.

Off the wall and often funny explanations for the weirdest images on the web. Presented as a 'news' site, such stories as:

"Humans Rode Dinosaurs"
Creation Museum officials report they have found proof when Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden they left on the backs of friendly dinosaurs.



"Armed dolphins are loose"
Chagrined Navy officers admit that several dolphins with poison dart guns attached to their flippers have escaped their enclosures and have been seen stalking bathers along Texas beaches.



"Heroic Warriors Battle Carp"


All of these stories run alongside strange pictures, photoshopped images, and photos of questionable content. Most of the 'stories' are about animals, but are not exclusive in their subject matter.

Underpants for your hands! Or, uh, fingerless gloves that look like tighty whiteys.

Star Wars according to a 3 year old. You know, "Obee-Kanobee" and "shiny guy who worries". Adorable, funny.
