Man documents bedhead every day since 2000 (11)

Boing Boing (4423) permalink
Every day for the past seven years and nine months, designer Negse has been taking photographs of his hair in the morning. ("Neguse" literally bedhead in Japanese.) He started documenting his 'dos after a friend told him his hair reminded him of Captain Tsubasa. "I like to go to sleep right after my bath, head flat against the pillow, so I have the best bedhead ever," he says. Since he started, he's only missed two ...Shared by Adam (39) Bill (20) Dave (9) Elizabeth McCullough (6) Michelynn (2) Nicole (7) Rachel Cobcroft (96) Randy (44) Robert (20) Robin (5) vim (105)Contribute comment -

Schoolgirl with 25 snails on her face (13)

The rules state that competitors have just one minute to put the snails on their face before tipping their head forward for 10 seconds. Tiana, of Alvanley, Cheshire, said: "I am not squeamish.

History: As the Industrial Revolution took hold of the nation, the average American in the late 1800s worked 12-hour days, seven days a week in order to make a basic living. Children were also working, as they provided cheap labor to employers and laws against child labor were not strongly enforced. With the long hours and terrible working conditions, American unions became more prominent and voiced their demands for a better way of life. On ...Shared by Dave (9)Contribute comment -

This woman in Sichuan province watched as her beloved kitty grew angel wings on his back last summer after a bunch of female cats tried to mate with him. "Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said.
