Unless you have some sort of stupid allergy against wheat or pepperoni or what have you, I’m guessing you absolutely love pizza; they’re crusty discs of bread smothered with cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, ham and even pineapples, for god’s sake! To us mere mortals, they’re godly meals that tickle our taste buds and fill our unworthy stomachs. But we’re not the only species on planet Earth that enjoys devouring slices of pizza; no, no – cats do too.

Yes, as you’ll see in the rib-tickling pictures arranged below, our feline companions also enjoy the scrumptious taste of Italy’s finest invention. They enjoy all sorts of pizzas, from cheese and tomato to spinach and ricotta. They like deep-dish, thin-crust, small, medium and large. They’re regular old Garfield wannabes and unashamed to say so. Now, go on, take a peek, but no snatching any slices; kitties have got claws, remember.

And the end result…

Giant Gummy Worm

The giant gummy worm is alarming for a number of reasons. For starters, it’s three pounds of candy jelly and, if you worried about that sort of thing, packs 4,000 calories. A whopping 26 inches long, one site where it is sold makes sure to point out its “ribbed body” and “five inch girth”. With this in mind, it’s little surprise that a still image taken from their advert depicting one man bravely tackling the worm the only way he can has gone viral (I mean just look at it).

Jelly Skeletons

There are lot of rather bizarre jelly sweets, but these are quite possibly some of the most unnerving I’ve ever come across. Granted, jelly skeletons and other such creepy creatures are pretty common, especially around Halloween, but there’s just something about these particular ones that makes them particularly unsettling. Looking at their product picture, I’m pretty sure it’s the way in which they still appear to have shreds of musculature clinging to their bones, their bodies twisted into the unnatural contortions of those who died deeply agonising deaths… or maybe that’s just me.

Blood Energy Drink

I’m torn with this one. One the one hand, it’s actually pretty cool. The drink claims to have the same look, colour and consistency of real blood (which, to be fair, it does to a certain extent), and even the packaging attempts to maintain this illusion. However, here’s where it starts getting creepy: the energy drink’s makers also state that its combination of iron, protein and electrolytes give it a similar nutritional makeup to real blood, while there are even instructions on how to microwave it should you want to enjoy your cruor closer to body temperature (although the packaging does note that “people’s blood isn’t for drinking but this is”). The most baffling thing of all? It’s suitable for vegetarians.

Grave of the Fireflies Candy

As anyone who has seen the film (or read the book) will know, Grave of the Fireflies is a tragic tale depicting the horrors of late World War II Japan as seen through the eyes of siblings Seita and Setsuko. During the course of the film, the pair manage to get hold of a tin of Sakuma drops, a traditional Japanese sweet that has been around since the Meiji period, and even go so far as to fill it with rain water to try and get the last of juice when the sweets are gone. When Setsuko finally dies of malnutrition, Seita cremates her and keeps her ashes in the tin until he also succumbs to the same fate. While putting Setsuko’s image on tins of Sakuma drops could be seen as a touching way to remember the suffering of children such as her and her brother during the War, it’s also rather macabre considering the location of her final resting place.

Foie Gras Bubble Gum

This one is really quite bizarre. Foie gras isn’t exactly the most popular kind of meat product at the best of times, so why you’d want it in sweet form – and as bubble gum, no less – is truly a mystery. Containing “artificial liver flavouring” and a cocktail of equally pleasant-sounding chemicals, I’m dubious as to how long you’d actually want to keep one of these in your mouth for anyway.

Honourable Mention: Maoam

Maoams themselves aren’t actually that strange (in fact, they’re pretty tasty as chewy fruit sweets go); it’s their wrappers that got them onto this list. Featuring the eponymous Mr Maoam in a variety of allegedly compromising positions with other fruit, it’s hard to suppress at least small smirk upon seeing them (or, in the case of some people, an angry letter to your local newspaper).

Ella was pondering ordering a Chinese takeaway, but after rereading this list she’s not sure she feels like eating anything right now…

It was at Thailand’s Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo when something adorable yet bizarre occurred. At the resort, which is 25 miles south-east of Bangkok, a two-year-old chimpanzee was feeding a baby tiger, named Aorn, from a bottle of milk. The female chimp, named Do Do, looked like a real mother to the tiger cub nestling in her arms.

At one point it even looks like Do Do is testing out the milk to check that it’s OK for Aorn to drink it. (Then again, she could also just be acting on an impulse to drink milk, as chimpanzees are highly impulsive.) The crocodile farm where these two cuties are situated is the largest in Thailand, housing 80,000 crocodiles, as well as other species of animals such as monkeys, tigers, elephants, lions, horses and hippopotamuses.

But never has such love and care been found between two very different animal species at this zoo. Maybe the unlikely pair will grow up together and forever have this mother-child relationship shared between them. Hey, we can dream can’t we?

We’ll be sure to keep you updated about the progress of these two. Little TBR prediction for ya: the baby tiger will eventually outgrow his mother and snip at her. He is a tiger after all, and tigers tend to have problems getting along with other mammals for any length of time. This baby tiger might love his chimp mother to pieces right now, but he’ll eventually want to rip her into little pieces of juicy flesh. Hey, if you’re a tiger, you gotta eat, and the Brussels sprout growing on a stalk near your cage just isn’t gonna cut it. Well, anyway, if you’re a “bonding fan,” check out these soldiers, small puppies and kittens bonding in almost the same way; they seem inseparable.

The flames give it that zesty tang everyone craves. Also, the feet.

There is nothing wrong with adding a little spice to your taco, or your sex life, for that matter. But, like sex, hot sauce can be taken too far, to the point where it transformed from a little added excitement to embarrassing explanations to inquiring police officers about inexplicable explosions in your apartment building.

“Well Officer, take your pick. This could either be the result of a body oil meets candles accident, or an overdose of Habanero.”

To understand the stupidity of these sauces, you have to understand the Scoville Scale. The Scoville Scale was devised by the Spice Doctor himself, Dr. Scoville, to determine how much capsaicin, the substance that creates spice, is in a chili pepper or anything else. For reference, Tabasco Sauce, one of the most popular hot sauces in the world, weighs in at about 2,000 Scovilles, about the same as a jalapeno pepper.

If you can’t handle this pepper, then you probably don’t want to read the rest of this article, because reading the world will light you ablaze.

But Tabasco is positively tame compared to the rest of the flames in a bottle on this list here. I have selected 10 sauces to outline the crazy for you in lovely list form. Yay, list form.

1.) Psycho Sauce

Clocking in at 89,000 Scovilles, Psycho Sauce is amongst the low end on the spice pole. It’s description reads “It’s a crazy world out there… and this is a crazy sauce. Be prepared. Why mess around? This one does not.”

2.) Predator Great White Shark

Clocking in at 175,000 Scovilles, this sauce is recommended to be added to food whilst cooking, as opposed to pouring on food on your plate. And for the love of Christ, do not use more than one drop if you don’t want to die a flaming death.

3.) 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce

True to its name, this sauce rates 357,000 Scovilles. A lethal mix of chili extract, habanero peppers and super cayenne peppers designed to melt your face off.

4.) Unbearable

The bottle looks deceiving, it’s a cute little bear made of glass. But much like a real bear, if you underestimate it will ruin your face. It rates in at 750,000 Scovilles, and has a warning to keep it out of the hands of children, the elderly, people with heart problems, and pets.

5.) Frostbite

It’s a white hot sauce, that you’re supposed to mix into a drink to make things like Hot Martinis, but be wary, this bastard is 500 times the strength of Tobasco sauce and the first on our list to crack the million Scoville mark.

6.) Wanza’s Wicked Temptation

Clocking in at 2 million Scovilles, this high rating only rates 4 chili peppers on the website’s heat scale, which I find a little shady.

7.) Magma 4

This sauce is so hot (4 million Scovilles) the company only made 129 bottles of this pure death in a bottle. The sauce is so hot the capsaicin clumps and doesn’t float like other sauces.

8.) The Source

This sauce is listed as 7.1 million Scovilles. For some reference to just how hot that is, it’s about the same as police grade pepper spray. You know, the shit they spray in your eyes when you’re high on PCP and just threw a fire extinguisher at a police cruiser. Yes, it’s that hot, and we still have 2 sauces to go.

9.) Blair’s T-99

This extremely rare sauce is rated at 12 freaking million Scovilles, and only 100 of them were produced, probably for the same reason only a limited number of atomic bombs were made: safety concerns.

10.) Blair’s 16 Million Reserve

This is it. This is as hot as hot sauces can go. This is the top of the line Blair calls their Death Sauces, and for a reason. This sauce rates at 16 million Scovilles. This is significant because 16 million is the top of the scale, 16 million is pure capsaicin, and it would no doubt do unpleasant things to your gastrointestinal system if you ever ingested it.

One final note. I sat in my living room writing this article on May 1, 2011, at about 1PM. I had no idea at the time, but while I was researching mind melting hot sauces, across the world in Pakistan, a team of crack Navy SEALs were engaging a group of terrorists in a manor house in a populated area. They killed 5 people, and took one body back with them. I dedicate this article to the memory of Osama bin Laden. I hope you like your sauce hot, Osama. Because, where you’re headed, the sauce, and everything else, is really, really hot.

The strategic life-simulation computer game Sims was the main inspiration for French collective Paper Donuts’ “breakfast out of paper” photoshoot. The collective decided to use a girl as the Sims character to show what a Sims-breakfast would look like in real life.

They even put the well-known “green diamond” over her head to indicate that she is in a good mood.

The entire breakfast is made out of paper cut in a way that makes it look pixilated, and it does look very cool, but its taste is rather, shall we say, papery.

mm..sliced paper oranges and paper grapefruit juice.  The only thing this woman needs is her morning newspaper, which, in a twist of irony, is made out of plastic.

Paper eggs, strawberries and sausages, oh my! What will I tell the paper doctor when I have a heart attack?

This breakfast ends in the way ever breakfast should end.  With a giant candy bar, a cupcake, and a donut.  Anything that can be done to accelerate the need for gastric bypass surgery…that’s the idea.

yum..a giant hamburger filled to the brim. Somewhere, up in heaven, Dave Thomas is blushing.

I’ll take two packets of paper Sweet’N Low in my tea, thank you. Paper saccharin never tasted so good.

McDonald’s fries do begin to float when you let them sit for long periods of time. I’ve witnessed this phenomenon with my own eyes. It may have been because the fries were laced with acid, but that’s a story for another time.

A paper apple, and a knife with..blood on it? I imagine it’s jam, but some people do like their toast smothered in blood, and we should respect that.

Even though this fruit is made out of paper, it’s making me hungry. I might resolve to eat it.

This artist has made many other objects out of paper, including these realistic animal and nature sculptures.
