What happens when you drop a hammer and a feather on the moon?

It was Galileo who first posited that all objects, no matter their mass, fall at the same rate. But it wasn’t until 1971 that an astronaut finally paid tribute to Galileo by conducting his famous experiment on the surface of the moon.

Toddler Says What We’re All Thinking About Sloppy Joes

Kids make up all kinds of excuses for not eating their food, saying that it’s either too mushy, too smelly or too green for their refined palates. Not to worry, because parents have their own arsenal of comebacks to talk kids into eating all the things they don’t want. Broccoli? Why those are just tiny trees! Creamed corn? That’s an airplane flying right towards your mouth! When all else fails, parents can play the ultimate trump card by promising dessert in exchange for a clean plate.  This mom wasn’t expecting any opposition from her son when she served him a sloppy joe and potato chips, but Decklyn gave her a hilarious reason as to why he couldn’t eat his dinner. Upon seeing the brown sandwich, this little boy pointed out that it resembled something that … well … doesn’t belong on the dinner table. It’s nothing personal against mom’s cooking, Decklyn is just finally putting into words what we’ve all noticed about sloppy joes but have been too afraid to say.  Should a sloppy joe’s appearance stop us from eating them, even if they taste good? Decklyn thinks so, but you can decide that for yourself. One thing, however, is certain: Decklyn’s parents should be careful about taking him to any fancy restaurants in the near future. The last thing you’d want to hear after paying $50 for a five-star meal is a little kid telling you that your food looks just like something you’d find in the bathroom.

A Night At The Mannequin Factory

The Christmas Lottery is one of the oldest continuously running lotteries in the world. It has happened every year in Spain since 1812, having survived both the Spanish Civil War and World War II. It’s a pretty big deal, which explains why the commercial announcing this year’s lottery is a Disney-level animated short film that might leave you reaching for a box of tissues by the end. With the state of Christmas advertising around the world in 2015, Disney and Pixar might need to up their game moving forward. With solid animation and every last heartstring pulled, simple ads are becoming works of art. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/mannequins-factory-night-commercial/
