Most people put ketchup on French fries and mustard on hot dogs. Add mayonnaise and relish, and that just about covers the condiment universe for most people. But Woman’s Day has collected 8 crazy condiments that add spice to your food.
For example, there’s Baconnaise. In 2007, Justin Esch and David Lefkow started their company J & D’s based on the motto “Everything Should Taste Like Bacon!” Their first product was Bacon Salt and in 2008, they launched Baconnaise on the market. Baconnaise is exactly what it sounds like — bacon flavored mayonnaise — and it is now available internationally.
How wrong can that be? Everybody loves bacon.
Playing pranks on dogs is half the fun of owning them. There’s the old “peanut butter on the roof of their mouth to make them talk” trick. And who doesn’t love throwing twenty blankets on top of their dog and seeing how long it takes them to escape?
Perhaps the biggest prank of all is dressing up your dog in a silly costume. Half the trick is trying to keep your dog from ripping off its costume before you can snap a photo. Manofest.com has collected 55 photos of dogs in ridiculous costumes.
Pierre Cardin is an Italian-born French fashion designer. Cardin is known for his avant-garde style and his space-age designs. He prefers geometric shapes and motifs, sometimes experimental, and not always practical.
Case in point, his Bubble House. As the story goes, Pierre Cardin was looking to buy a house on the Cote d’Azur in the French Riviera, but he was horrified by all the unoriginal designs, none of which that matched his avant-garde fashion designs.
Then one day Cardin happened upon a construction site where architect Antti Lovag was building a “bubble house” for a wealthy industrialist who happened to have died. Cardin was thrilled to discover a house that matched his modern taste. Not everyone like the Lovag house when it was finished in 1990, and some even called it “Crazy House.” But it has since become a national historic monument.
This animated image makes me ache just watching it.

For some odd reason, people are very obedient when it comes to street signs. We often ignore each other on a regular basis, but we almost always obey the inconvenient and unreasonable requests of street signs.
Perhaps it’s time for the human race to fight these ruthless street dictators once and for all. Except for any road sign that has 69 on it. Those are awesome.
Pabst, a boxer mutt rescued from a shelter by Miles Egstad of Citrus Heights, California, won the annual “World’s Ugliest Dog” contest on Friday at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in California.
It was an upset victory for Pabst, who beat former champion Rascal, a pedigree Chinese Crested. Pabst’s owner Egstad took home $1,600 in prize money, pet supplies and a modeling contract with House of Dog.
Miss Ellie, a blind 15-year-old Chinese Crested Hairless, won the pedigree category, in spite of or possibly because of the fact that she kept sticking her tongue out at the judges.
Michael Jackson was incredibly talented, but his physical transformation over the years was both puzzling and shocking. Watch in this video as his face morphs over his fifty year lifetime in just 30 seconds.
Sadly, Michael Jackson died yesterday from cardiac arrest. He was 50. Michael had crazy moves, was crazy good, and yes, sometimes he acted a bit crazy. But to honor the singer, dancer, songwriter and international superstar, let’s remember Michael as he was in his prime as the “King of Pop.”
Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was a 1983 television special to commemorate Motown’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
