Welcome to this week’s twisted WTFckery!
A few WTF books and their covers:
Nothing says steel hard loving like hot abs and cute fluffy wolves:
Who knew an alien owned such a fancy tux?
Kara leads a very boring life in a small boring town in the middle of nowhere. She spends every Friday night on the hood of her car staring at the starry sky above wishing she could see the world.
Little does she know that alien eyes have been watching her for some time. After a quick abduction, one particular alien makes the young woman an offer that is out of this world.
Does she have it in her to say no to their temptation? Will she be probed like all those people on those alien documentaries? Will they go where no one has gone before?
Enslaved by the aliens, all Hulk smash style:
2. Feast your eyes on a mufgel! From The Consumerist:
“The mufgel is part bagel, part muffin and is the Franken-carb du jour at Williamsburg’s The Bagel Store, the world’s most viral bagel purveyor.
It was released on July 23rd, and while some genius is crafted over many years, owner Scot Rossillo was inspired by a Quick Draw radio commercial which made fun of food crazes in New York City. He quickly came up with the recipe and started with two flavors: carrot cake and chocolate chip crumb.
Espinal says some order it with cream cheese and some without and the best way to eat it is with a knife and fork, because it is quite large.
This reporter sampled the chocolate chip crumb with apple pie cream cheese and it was quite the experience. The first bite was incredibly sweet, especially paired with the cream cheese (which was really more akin to icing). This is much more of a dessert than a breakfast, and bagel seems to be the recessive gene in this particular creation. The top is more muffin, and is crunchy like a cookie.
3. We all need a poop emoji toilet plumber in our lives. From Odditymail:
For $15: “Aptly named the Poo-Plunger, the poop emoji plunger is sure to brighten your day each time you poo as you look over in the corner of the bathroom and see how happy he is, yet how awful his life really is.”
4. Fans of ice cream and chocolate will be happy to hear that chocolate ice cream generates energy and can help heat homes. From Daily Mail:
“Chocolate ice cream might be a delicious treat on a hot summer’s day, but it is so calorific it can be used to heat homes. Chocolate provided 10 per cent more energy than vanilla and 20 per cent more than strawberry in tests to see which created the best fuel, because it is so full of energy. Scientists can produce energy by harnessing the calorific power of the ice cream mix, just like when the human body burns calories to make energy. This calorie-rich mixture used to be thrown away into landfill sites but it is now being processed at a nearby plant to produce a biogas. The gas is fed into the national gas grid so it can be used in homes and businesses as fuel for heating and cooking.
5. Speaking of ice cream, how about the ice cream cronut cone? From Metal Floss:
“Dum Dum Donutterie in London’s Camden Market has seen Ansel’s bet, and raised it. They’ve invented the croissant-doughnut ice-cream cone—a sugary concoction in which croissant-doughnut dough is baked into a cone shape, then filled with scoops of artisan ice cream and homemade sauces, and sprinkled with a variety of toppings. You’ll never look at a plain vanilla cone the same way again.”
6. Paying for pizza in an interesting way per Damn You Autocorrect:
7. Looking for a new set of luggage? Why not purchase some made from airline seats? From Gizmodo:
“Plane’s lineup, which is available for pre-order today through a Kickstarter campaign looking to raise just north of $25,000, includes a duffle bag, a messenger bag briefcase, a backpack, and a collection of tablet and smartphone sleeves that incorporate recycled airplane seat fabrics, in addition to more luxurious materials like vegetable tanned Italian leather and solid brass fixtures. Early bird backers can pre-order the pieces from $38 for an iPhone sleeve, up to $322 for the carry-on duffle bag.
