This is the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages. Disappointed at the state of dubstep in the world, DJ Logam from interdimensional recording label Betamorph Recordings has shown how simple it has become to create a dubstep track, so much so that even your mom could do it.
You can download the track from here. Logam has also created a competition asking for remixes to Your Mom Makes Dubstep. Have a listen to those mixes, also on Soundcloud.

From the creator of Meow Mix and the mutating Walks of Life comes yet another bizarre animation. Cyriak welcomes you to Kitty City.

I see what you did there, Jesús González Rodríguez. In his photo project entitled 1/2, the student from Venezuela creates illusions using the human face. Rodríguez takes frontal and side-on shots of his subject’s face and then merges them to create a rather creepy composite.
Have a look at Rodríguez’ multidirectional face illusions after the jump.
In Now That You’re Big, artist Simon Greiner creates a hilarious sex education book in the style of Dr. Seuss.
Drawn in a style similar to the very popular children’s books, Greiner rhymes the story of a boy who is growing up and starts to notice the other sex. The tale starts off innocently with booboobs and junk, and moves to the matter of sex in the hut (and in the butt), and finally to the miracle that is birth. Have a look at a few of the panels of Now That You’re Big after the jump (slightly NSFW).
Rainbow sponges are very special things. In the rights hands they are able to bring about near orgasms.
Take a turn into weirdville with the spokeslady (Dee Gruenig) for rainbow sponges as she shows off the colourful ways that the versatile craft sponge can be used.
Oh my gosh! WIGGLES!

Written and illustrated by someone called HORANG, Bongcheon-Dong is a Korean web comic that tells the tale of a girl who is walking home from school late one night and encounters a crippled woman. I won’t spoil it for you, view the comic here (the story unfolds as you scroll down), and let us know your reaction in the comments.

I’m easily aroused amused. Find below a slow-motion snuff video that shows an unsuspecting mosquito being zapped by a laser beam.

It seems that the mosquito didn’t just wander into the path of the laser, it was being targeted. In 2007, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation tasked a company called Intellectual Ventures to think up new technologies to fight malaria. One of their creations was the Photonic Fence, a defense system that could identify a mosquito by how fast its wings are beating, and then shoot it out of the sky.

Some things are better left unexplained. I choose to do that here because I have no idea what Kim Pimmel is on about.
I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.
Have a look at his oddly attractive time-lapse video, Compressed 02.

We’re big fans of how the scanning electron microscope can show the smallest of details. If you liked the last set of in-depth SEM images, you may like the works of Caren Alpert.
As a child, Alpert was fascinated with the back-page quiz of “3-2-1 Contact” Magazine, a quiz that tasked the viewer to identify the items in a selection of close-up images. The photographer (and food lover) has always been interested in the smaller details and has been photographing food for over eight years. After seeing an image taken with an SEM, Alpert was inspired to use the scientific equipment to capture images of the foods that we ingest on a regular basis. The magnification is between 45 and 850 times and the resulting images look like alien landscapes, delicious alien landscapes. Her project is entitled Terra Cibus and can be viewed on her website, which you can find through Google.

I know more about the Hadron Collider than what goes on in the minds of some Japanese people. In the music video for her debut J-pop single for Warner Music Japan, “PONPONPON”, blogger and model Kyary Pamyu Pamyu welcomes you to her “doll house”. It’s a rather odd place where floating brains and eyes embedded in toast are commonplace, and even her farts are strikingly colourful. You must see this video, be warned though, the tune can be extremely catchy and/or unbearably annoying.
If you’d like an English translation of the lyrics, see it at Wonky Translation. If this video made complete sense to you, then do drop us a comment and let us know what any of this madness means.
