PostSecret

“There are two kinds of secret: those we keep from others, and the ones we hide from ourselves” – Frank Warren.

PostSecret is an interesting (and ongoing) social experiment started by Frank Warren in 2005 where he invited people to send him their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. There were no restrictions on the content of the secret, only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before. Since its inception, PostSecret has collected over 200 000 soulful, funny, shocking, and sexual secrets from people in the US and around the world. Select secrets are posted on the PostSecret website and used in PostSecret books. See some images in the gallery below.

Quick Challenge: Sit, Rotate, Write

A Zoomdoggle reader sent them a little challenge. If you can’t read the handwriting, it says:

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand. You foot will change direction and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I’m a complete statistic – my foot switched directions. Give it a try and let us know how it went for you.

No Love For The ANC

Spotted on the streets of Cape Town, and ANC election poster gets the subversive treatment. We’re pretty UPSET about this – upset that we didn’t think of it first!

Wondermark: An Illustrated Jocularity

Wondermark is a comic created by David Malki !. That punctuation mark is not a mistake on my part – David insists that one space be left between the exclamation point and the “i” in his last name for aesthetic reasons. Wondermark features 19th-century illustrations that have been recontextualized to create humorous juxtapositions.

See a small gallery below.

Karate Guy Tries to Break Wooden Plank With Head

And in the quest for such greatness, this karate guy tries to break a wooden plank. Funnily enough, painful failure is the only result. Check it out.

Wooden Firepower: The Jenga Pistol

Sometimes I push it in a little too far and other times I’m told I need to poke it a little harder. Get your mind out the gutter, we are obviously talking about Jenga here. And woodwork inventor Matthas Wandel is ready to take the game out of the stone ages with the Jenga Pistol. Made of wood, the pistol has a rubber band mechanism that shoots a bolt through the pistol and into the block. Click play to see it in action.
