Well the trend has now reached Bulgaria thanks to a street artist called Vanyu Krastev, and as you can see from his "eye-catching" work, he certainly has an "eye" for the perfect eyebomb! From trees and lamp posts to trash cans and sidewalk stains, Krastev is proving that even the most mundane things can be made more interesting with two googly eyes and a little bit of imagination

Bad news: While on their way to a race, a Nova Scotia women relay team (the Dalhousie Dangerously Accelerative Ladies)'s van broke down in a Tim Hortons 350km out of town. They were stranded and unable to make it to their race.
Yesterday, “playing the stock market” took on a whole new meaning. On new Twitch channel Stock Stream, Amazon engineer Mike Roberts entrusted his $50,000 savings to the chaos that is Twitch chat, where thousands of anonymous users invest it in what they please.
Roberts says it’s the world’s first co-op, multiplayer game that uses real money to play the stock market. Over 170,000 viewers have watched his funds rise and fall with the whims of Twitch chat. Participating is as simple as writing “!sell” or “!buy” and whichever stock you want. Every five minutes, the game executes the top-voted action with Roberts’ funds. The highest-ranked players most accurately predict the best selling and buying decisions. His inspiration was, of course, the popular crowd-sourced Pokemon channel, Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Stock Stream is an experiment. Roberts wants to know what strangers will do with his hard-earned savings. Would trolls blow it? What stock will they vote for? “I thought people were just gonna waste money,” Roberts said. “That was my first thought.” He decided against a clear objective, like doubling the funds, because then, trolls would have a stronger impetus for sabotage.
"Hell no!” said one Republican — one of the most common types of response BuzzFeed News got from operatives. “That would be career suicide.”
"That's like asking someone who just witnessed a horrific bungee jumping accident whether they would like to go next,” one Republican source responded in a text message.
...and the best of them all.
One operative whose spouse works in the Trump administration dissolved into laughter upon being asked if they would want the role.
"Sorry, I’m sorry," the source said between stifled laughs. "Oh, you’re being serious? Oh my god, I’m crying of laughter. Why would anyone in their right mind want to be his communications director?"
There is a lot to unpack in this, but I don't think anything has really gone right with this. Say hi to Wisconsin Couple
REESEVILLE — Running outside nude is bound to draw some unwanted attention.
Tuesday, it led to drunken driving charges against a 60-year-old Reeseville woman, who was arrested after getting into a disagreement with her husband over breakfast plans.
Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt said the couple had been drinking alcohol the night before. The woman wanted to leave their home in the 200 block of Emerald Drive for breakfast, while the husband wanted her to cook breakfast.
“When she refused and tried to leave, he ran out naked holding his clothes and jumped on the hood,” Schmidt said.
The woman continued to drive down the street, Schmidt said. A neighbor saw the scene and called it in to the sheriff’s office around 9:30 a.m.
“By the time deputies got there, she had pulled into the garage and tried to close the garage door,” Schmidt said.
The woman was taken into custody for driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Further details about the arrest or charge were not available Wednesday. The husband was not arrested.
There is no record of what or if the woman’s husband had breakfast that morning.

I'm honestly not surprised. The stock market is so volatile that someone was able to make money by going with what his cat picked. Couldn't be any worse entrusting it to the collective hive mind.

If I remember correctly it was a contest and the cat outperformed around 83 professional traders and some students.
The Observer's panel of stock-picking professionals has been undone in our 2012 investment challenge by a ginger feline called Orlando who spent time paw-ing over the FT.
The Observer portfolio challenge pitted professionals Justin Urquhart Stewart of wealth managers Seven Investment Management, Paul Kavanagh of stockbrokers Killick & Co, and Schroders fund manager Andy Brough against students from John Warner School in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire – and Orlando.
Each team invested a notional £5,000 in five companies from the FTSE All-Share index at the start of the year. After every three months, they could exchange any stocks, replacing them with others from the index.
By the end of September the professionals had generated £497 of profit compared with £292 managed by Orlando. But an unexpected turnaround in the final quarter has resulted in the cat's portfolio increasing by an average of 4.2% to end the year at £5,542.60, compared with the professionals' £5,176.60.
While the professionals used their decades of investment knowledge and traditional stock-picking methods, the cat selected stocks by throwing his favourite toy mouse on a grid of numbers allocated to different companies.
The challenge raised the question of whether the professionals, with their decades of knowledge, could outperform novice students of finance – or whether a random selection of stocks chosen by Orlando could perform just as well as experienced investors.
The result indicates that the "random walk hypothesis", popularised in economist Burton Malkiel's book A Random Walk Down Wall Street, is perhaps truer than we thought. Burkiel's book explores the idea that share prices move completely at random, making stock markets entirely unpredictable.
"It's time to crack open the Whiskas," said a good-humoured Justin Urquhart-Stewart. "The cat's got talent." To celebrate his success, Orlando's owner, former Cash editor Jill Insley, has bought him a red collar in the style of Urquhart-Stewart's omnipresent red braces.
All but one of Orlando's stocks (Morrisons) rose during the last three months of the year, including specialist plastics and foam company Filtrona, which Orlando had hastily swapped for under-performing Scottish American Investment Trust in September.
By contrast, the professionals refused to swap any stocks at the end of the third quarter and paid the price. British Gas fell by 19% and Imagination Technologies dropped by 16.8%, dragging their portfolio down by an average 7.1%.
The students may have finished last, but displayed the best performance of all the teams in the final quarter, their portfolio increasing by an average 5.4%, including a fantastic performance of 17.4% for property company Savills.
Their trading decisions were key: at the end of the final quarter they swapped Mulberry for Aviva and Betfair for Tesco. In the final quarter, Aviva's share price increased by 17% (compared with a rise of only 6.6% for Mulberry during that time) and Tesco rose by 1.2% (far superior to a fall in the Betfair share price of 5.4%).
Nigel Cook, deputy headteacher at John Hoddesdon School, said: "The mistakes we made earlier in the year were based on selecting companies in risky areas. But while our final position was disappointing, we are happy with our progress in terms of the ground we gained at the end and how our stock-picking skills have improved."
A spokeswoman for Orlando said he was not available to give an interview because of a claws in his contract.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CNN) — A Michigan mother found “one of the largest spiders in the world” in her 21-month-old son’s room early Wednesday morning.
Jillian Duke was in her son’s bedroom when she spotted the massive spider, WXYZ reports.
“I looked over thinking it was a big ball of string and it turned out it had eyes and it was a big spider,” said Duke.
She called her husband and her parents for help before dropping a heavy stack of books on it.
Duke then took the carcass to a local pet store that specializes in spiders and staff told her the spider isn’t from the United States.
“Australian Huntsman Spider, which would be one of the largest spiders in the world, but completely harmless, outside of an allergic reaction to its venom,” said employee Randy John Lee.
Duke, who still has concerns about how the spider got into her apartment, wants the complex sprayed for bugs.
“This thing is huge. It needs a leash,” Duke told the station.

My immediate reaction to things was if you find a big spider it is big cause your filthy apartment attracts lots of pests for out to eat. Then I got to it being from Australia and NVM it probably lives off babies.

Replacing an ableist insult with a sexist one doesn't seem to be much of an improvement.
I'd say it fits, given the gender and emotional calibre for the kind of person who believes that women act nice to them only because they super want their dick.
So yeah, I'm shedding no tears for whatever sexist creeper bellends get their feelings hurt from that sign.

Don't sweat it, hypocrisy is invisible to a lot of people (complaining about one -ist insult only to replace it with another that you feel is more socially acceptable isn't very admirable). I don't get the point of being upset over the initial insult in the first place, so I am assuming it's some sort of cultural thing (like when Nintendo used the word "Spastic" a while back and A lot of Europeans complained). If you replaced 'cretin' with 'retard' and flew that sign in an American bar I'm sure someone would get offended.
Of course if you had that sign in an American bar you'd have to change the second paragraph to "Because she wants your tips you [insult]", but that's an entirely different thread I guess.

Ladies: your vaginae are fine, stop doing weird shit to them, unless like you're into that of course
Don't think one should apply bears to vaginas either. I hear bears quite prefer to not be applied to vaginas too.

They're perfectly harmless. Poor thing.
It refers to people with a thyroid condition that interferes with development. Cretinism is why we iodize our salt.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
It literally meant "Christian", so you were effectively saying "eh, he may be dumber than a bag of hammers, but at least he's not a heathen"

I also never knew of the controversy surrounding the word "cretin".
Overall, I'm learning lots about how to insult people here.
I a only know it means penis because a lot of British youtubers use it and eventually I had to look it up.

Technically it only means part of the penis.
