The Pythagorean Cup
Pythagoras is mostly known for his theorem and not his practical jokes. I want to change this. The Pythagorean cup is a simple device designed to make people look like idiots. It contains a thin pipe that runs from the bottom of the vessel up to the top of a central column. As the cup is filled the level of liquid within the pipe matches that of the surrounding cup according to Pascal’s principle of communicating vessels. If the cup is filled above the turn in the pipe then the liquid begins to pour out the bottom. Not only that but it creates a siphon in the process, which empties the entire contents of the cup right into the gluttonous drinker’s lap. Hilarious.
This was rebloggable before I even hit the third sentence.

I have my own suggestion, and fantasy, regarding reality TV as it should be presented and policed in the United States.
Imagine a television industry equivalent of either the heavenly gates of St. Peter, or the hellish gates of a tough airport security line. To get through the gate, and get on…
If this was the case, I would probably watch a lot more TV. As it is, slogging through the mire of reality television makes finding good stuff a lot more difficult. It’s hard for the cream to rise to the top when stations keep dumping sour milk into the vat.

HERE’S HOW:
1. Wrap a mens button down around you like a towl.
2. Button it from the bottom up, to where it fits right.
3. Take the sleaves and use them to secure the shirt around you in a bow.
THE BIGGEST TIP:
A lot of girls have tried this and it didnt work because the shirt wasnt big enough. You probably wont be able to use on of your own botton downs- i think it has to be a dads or boyfriends or older brothers
I officially love this.
