Here's an update on magical, hairy Atchoum, the sorcerer cat from Quebec.

If you don't remember Atchoum, or you're meeting him for the first time, you're welcome.

We wrote about Atchoum being the hot new Internet cat months ago, because in the world of Internet cat fame, things can get a little hairy. What does Atchoum offer that the competition doesn't?Well, he's Quebecois (so he speaks French), has hypertrichosis and must have hired a new social media manager, because his Instagram and Facebook page are now on point.

I found an interview with him on Cosmopolitan and decided to check up on what's been going on with little Atchoum. Did fame go to his head? Is he still incredibly fluffy? His responses to the admittedly pretty softball questions were charming and his photos are fantastic. Below are some of my fav pictures captioned with my fav quotes:

"When I rule the world, it will be me who is laughing."


"So far, other cats have accepted me as their overlord."


"The moon is the eye of the night sky."


"Being different is what makes us all special."


"One day I hope to have my very own line of fashionable ties."


"Can you really tell the difference between a "bad" hair day and a "good" hair day?"



What are you doing? Que fais-tu?

All your days are good hair days as far as I'm concerned, mon cher.

This is why you don't leave eggs out if you live in snake country.

Now you know this can happen. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Just in case you weren't aware, it's entirely possible that a snake is slithering through a wall into your kitchen at this very moment. It's probably not happening, but it might be. In all likelihood, no. But maybe?

Actually, forget I mentioned it or that I posted a video up there of this very thing happening to some other people. You really should not worry about it. Just put it out of your head. Even if a snake did come into your kitchen (or living room or bathroom or bedroom), you'd probably see it before it bit you. Unless it's dark or you're sleeping. Or if you, like, just aren't paying attention and you're thinking about other things and then BAM!there's a goddamn snake two inches in front of your face! But that, in all likelihood, will not happen.

So don't sweat it. Ignore the noise that you just heard in your kitchen. It didn't sound all that much like a snake, whatever that sounds like.

This woman thought she was going to be in an action movie, but the truth was much better.

Things don't usually get this explosive until after you're married.

Don't get me wrong, this video of a guy pulling a surprise wedding proposal in the middle of what was ostensibly an action movie is very romantic. It must feel amazing to know that somebody cares about you enough to go to this kind of effort to make you happy. It's definitely a moment that will be remembered forever.

That said, if I were this woman, once the initial shock of the moment wore off, I think I'd be a little bummed out that I wasn't really going to be the star of an actual action movie. I'd be like, "I love you and all, but I wanted to make a building implode with a rocket launcher."

Every woman's internal monologue while trying on bathing suits.

Okay, I finally got a dressing room.

Thank god I actually found a few options out there. This isn't going to be so bad. I mean, it's kind of tough to know how I'll look on the beach in one of these when I'm standing under fluorescent lighting. It highlights so many flaws you may as well call it "Mom." Oh crap, Mom. I need to call her.

Trying on bathing suits before summer should be a form of criminal punishment. The only light my skin has seen in months is the glow from my laptop screen during a House of Cards Netflix binge. My skin is so pale I look like one of those deepwater jellyfish that are so translucent you can see all of their organs. At least you can't see the food I've eaten through my skin. Dammit, why did I eat a soft pretzel the size of a bowling ball before trying on bathing suits? Am I a masochist? Should I just throw in the towel already and buy a maternity bathing suit?

First up, a floral string bikini. It would really be a lot easier to make a decision about this if I wasn't looking at the tie-sides over my laundry day granny panties. Ugh, there's no way these bottoms will work, even if I wasn't wearing an American-flag-sized pair of underwear.

Why do bikini tops always feel like some medieval boob pulley system?

Also how am I supposed to tie this thing in a knot behind my back by myself? Should I ask a salesgirl to help me? How would I even get her attention? There's no way I'm walking out into the store in this sexy straitjacket of a suit.

It's freezing in here. Would it kill them to keep the temperature slightly above absolute zero? I'm not Kate Upton, so I don't plan on wearing a bikini in Antarctica (not to mention no one is paying me to wear this). I'll try on this one-piece. It has a little more coverage and I'm sure it'll look great with the imprint of my jean seams running down my leg.

Now I look like a gymnast who took human growth hormones. Why did this kind of suit come back into style?

Pulling this on felt like an Olympic-level athletic event. With all of the jumping up and down and groaning I'm sure the staff thinks I'm back here having sex up against the most unflattering mirror in human history.

Alright, last bathing suit. Standard two piece. You can do this. The sales girl said this style runs big and to go down a size. Wow, I can't get the bottom up beyond the middle of my thighs, maybe she was wrong wait though seriously it isn't budging it's not moving up or down not I'm trapped in a bikini bottom what happens if I can't move it will the store call 911 to bring the jaws of life and then everyone will know that I'm very much not a size 6 anymore and OH MY GOD NO IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS I WISH I WAS ALREADY DEAD.

Wait. I got it. I can pull it down if I just try hard enough...there. I'm free. I'm finally free. I hope no one can hear how heavily I'm breathing after that ordeal.

Whatever, I give up. I'm going to go get onion rings and just wear a sheet on my vacation.

Seeing these workouts go terribly wrong is enough to inspire anyone to skip the gym.

Two of the awesomest science guys on YouTube — one in Australia and one in the US — teamed up to see whether toilets flush differently in different hemispheres, and they did it in the coolest way possible.

Derek Muller (aka Veritasium on YouTube) lives in Sydney, Australia. Destin Sandlin (SmarterEveryDay on YouTube) lives in Huntsville, Alabama. Both have totally rad channels where they do cool experiments and explain the science behind how our world works. In that spirit, the two decided to pair up to finally prove, 100% fo sho (aka "for sure"), whether or not water goes down the drain the opposite direction in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. To do this, the gentlemen set up the exact same experiment on opposite sides of the globe. Then they each created a video of the experiment that's meant to be synced up with the other video, so you can watch both experiments at once.

Both videos are below. You can play them both at the same time on your phone, or you can watch them on a laptop or desktop later if you want to view them side by side.

Jason Alexander finally revealed why this 'Seinfeld' character was killed off.

The actor told Howard Stern why the character of Susan, George Costanza's fiancée, had to die.

Jason Alexander and Heidi Swedberg in Seinfeld. Their faces also represent how the actors felt working together.
(via NBC)

Seinfeld fans have long discussed the death of Susan Ross, George's longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend. The characters became engaged at the start of season 7, much to George's chagrin. The arc continued for so long that the fans assumed they were going to be married. Then, in a major twist, she died in the season finale, poisoned by cut-rate wedding invitation envelopes bought by George. It was a shockingly dark turn for a show that was already one of the darkest comedies on TV.

Since then, rumors have swirled that Susan died because of behind-the-scenes drama. The theory was that Jason Alexander so disliked Heidi Swedberg, he demanded the character be axed. And today, for the first time, Alexander finally told his side of the story publicly, in an interview on The Howard Stern Show. Here's the clip:

It turns out that the story is mostly true, with one particular exception. Alexander actually liked Swedberg a lot, but found it frustrating to act alongside her. Chemistry for comic actors is a tricky business, and sometimes it just doesn't work. Alexander never demanded she be fired, but Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David certainly knew about his complaints. It wasn't until Seinfeld himself had to act with Swedberg, however, that the decision was made to kill her character so unceremoniously.

I hope she doesn't take this news too hard. It was almost 20 years ago, but based on the fact that I don't know her from anything else, this must have been her biggest role, and now she's being taken apart for it. Not to mention the fact that Alexander sounds pretty condescending calling her a "terrific girl." Then again, I don't feel too bad for any Seinfeld actor. Those royalty checks must soften the blow.

Total jerk petitioning to take away Caitlyn Jenner's Olympic medal.

A petition on Change.org is trying to get the International Olympic Committee to "do the right thing for the transgender community" and revoke Caitlyn Jenner's gold medal.

When she was living as Bruce, Caitlyn Jenner won the gold medal for the men's decathlon, a combination of 10 track and field events including different-length runs, javelin, long jump, and shot put, among other things. But after Jenner's recent revalation that she has always identified as a woman, someone named Jennifer Bradford started a petition on Change.org to have Jenner's medals rescinded. The petition reads:

Dear International Olympic Committee,

It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman. We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best. However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men's sports and vice versa. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we must ask whether or not it is proper that Ms. Jenner should retain her olympic records in light of this, as we must now either claim that Bruce Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner are two entirely different people (which we know is not true), or that Bruce Jenner was, in fact, a woman participating in a men's event. It is only fair to all involved that women receive their credit as champions of the Decathalon and that the men racing Ms. Jenner are not expected to compete with a superior, streamlined being such as herself.

We urge Ms. Jenner to support the transgender community by giving up the medals earned by competing against the wrong gender.

Thank you, and congratulations to Ms. Jenner for her courage!

#givebackthegold

When Caitlyn won her gold medals, she was living physically as Bruce, with a man's body and a man's hormones, even if she knew that inside she was a woman. The medals are hers. Oh, and what the heck is this supposed to mean?

"...the men racing Ms. Jenner are not expected to compete with a superior, streamlined being such as herself."

As far as I can tell, Bradford is implying that because Jenner identified as a woman at the time she won the gold medal, she was a "superior" being to the men. But the top-ranking men pretty much universally beat the top-ranking women in every decathlon category — for example, in the 100 meter run, all of the top-ranking men are almost a second faster than the top-ranking women (that doesn't sound like a lot, but it is for the 100-meter run). So even if Jenner was physically living as a woman at the time — which she wasn't — that would have put her at a disadvantage, not an advantage.

Two days after the petition was posted, Bradford added this comment:

I'm so happy to announce that we've had over 50 signers already! Let's keep it up and convince the IOC and Ms. Jenner to do the right thing for the transgender community and get rid of those medals!

I don't know whether the creator of the petition is transgender or not, and I am not transgender, so it's certainly not my place to say what's right for the community. I also don't know if this petition is a joke or not. But if it is a joke, it's a pretty crappy one. And if it's serious, trying to take this accomplishment away from Caitlyn just doesn't seem like a good thing.

Wilson Coutinho Martins lives in Rio de Janerio, where he helps injured animals. One of the worst cases he has encountered was a pit bull, Davi. When Wilson found him, Davi only weighed 28 pounds and his backside was so badly injured, bone was visible. But Wilson patiently nursed Davi back to health, and he carefully photographed the equally heartbreaking and heartwarming progress.

A popular hot spring had to be shut down because too many people were having orgies in it.

Nothing like a relaxing hot soak in a pool of human excretions.


Looks...foggy. (via 4travel.jp)

Fudo no Yu, a Japanese outdoor bath/hot spring known as an onsen, was popular for its mixed bathing. Too popular. Footage appeared online of bathers using it repeatedly for orgies. They really liked to mix it up, you see.

I get it. Hot springs are sexy as hell. First of all, it's hot. There's steam. Everyone is all languid and relaxed. You're very aware of your body immersed in warm water with other bodies. If you manage not to urinate it can be a very sensual experience. However, we're all adults here and unless you own the hot spring, just store up all that sexual energy for when you're some place it's okay to orgasm all over. Like your own bed. Or bath tub, if you must.

Local tourism officials from the district decided to close Fudo no Yu after almost a year of complaints. The final straw was when the footage appeared showing 15 middle-aged men and several young girls frothing the water. The onsen had no caretaker on guard and charged a minimal 200 yen, which users were supposed to put in an "honesty box." You see, this is why we can't have nice things.

One anonymous member of the resident's association is quoted as saying:

“We are sorry, but it was breach of manners that was impossible to overlook. We had no choice but to close the bath.”

Yes, we're so sorry, but you just can't turn this important tourist attraction into a f*cktub. No, not even if you pay the 200 yen.

The hot spring has been drained and local perverts were asked to find a new place to defile.

Here's the bare minimum you need to do so you don't die from sitting down all day.

Bad news: sitting at a desk all day is extremely unhealthy. Good news: it is totally fixable!

Studies have shown that sitting at your desk all day will literally kill you. This isn't one of those statements where "literally" is used instead of "figuratively." Sedentary desk jobs are really, truly deadly. According to Dr. James Levine, "sitting is more dangerous than smoking, kills more people than HIV and is more treacherous than parachuting." Well, guess it's time to go tell your boss you need to jump out of a plane during your lunch break, for your health.

On a more positive note, the same health experts who informed us we're slowly dying while we attempt to read the entire Internet have issued a follow-up statement about how to fix the problem. Here's the big takeaway: if you work eight hours a day at a desk job, you should aim to stand or walk for two hours a day, and eventually get that number up to four hours. Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Here, I'm going to say it one more time:

If you work eight hours a day at a desk job, you should aim to stand or walk for two hours a day.

Two hours a day? Who the heck do they think we are, Olympic athletes? Who moves around for two whole hours in a single work day unless they've escaped the office and are running away from their job forever? Oh, and in case you missed the second part, please read that part again, too:

Eventually get that number up to four hours.

WHAT?!?! Scientists want us to spend HALF of the entire work day MOVING OUR BODIES? How is that even possible? OK, now that I'm done screaming, here are some simple ways to stop your body from slowly disintegrating into the ergonomic netting of your swivel chair:

Get a standing desk.


But where's the chair?(via Amazon)

Exercise balls are out, standing desks are in. These life-saving desks can be adjusted to either sit or stand, based on how long you plan on staying alive. I suggest wearing Crocs to give your poor little feet a stylishly soft cushion when you're using the upright option.

Try to stand up more in general.

Health experts suggest standing up to take phone calls, standing during meetings, and walking to colleagues instead of emailing them. Not only will this get your blood moving throughout your clogged arteries, but the change of pace is what helps increase your body's metabolism. And get ready for this doozy of a suggestion: hold walking meetings! Walking and talking creates a more open environment for idea sharing. Who knew?!

Set reminders to get moving.

It's best to move your squishy butt every 20-30 minutes, so setting yourself a reminder is the best way to make sure it happens. And, once you get a sit-stand desk, you can set a reminder to adjust the desk back up to it's standing, live-elongating position.

Leave for lunch.

It's easy to get caught up in work, and it feels like ordering lunch is the only option for getting everything done. However, if you're afraid you'll miss something while your gone, just remember to bring along the miniature computer that fits in your pocket!

Although I'm about to sound like a life coach/spin instructor, I'm going to say this anyway: let's all take these suggestions, get moving, and live longer, happier lives!

Why did James Franco make a video to yell at you about pooping?

James Franco uploaded a 36-second YouTube video of him loudly yelling about pooping.

Is this an unimaginative parody of last week's Shia LaBeouf motivational video or a complex performance art piece commenting on digital culture? Or by asking that question, are we exactly where James Franco wants us to be? (I think that one, and I'm into it.)

All I know is that this video really made me think. It made me think about James Franco standing in his underwear yelling about poop.

And about that time James Franco posted this selfie on Instagram:

(via Gawker)

The interplay between these two digital works provokes the viewer to ask an unknowable question: Is it the same bathroom?

The original video that Franco is either parodying or engaging in conversation with or both or neither features Shia LaBeouf yelling at you to "just do it."

Hopefully some day I will be able to play a video of every man in Hollywood yelling at me for mysterious reasons. That's the only way I can fall asleep.

If you're not looking for a souvenir to commemorate this strange but never boring moment in Internet history, Franco also seems to be pretending to sell a shirt that he is pretending that LaBeouf wore in the original video.








There's a new app that instantly identifies plants and flowers and it's awesome.

If you are already obsessed with Shazam, an app that identifies songs, then you've probably wondered to yourself when we'd be able to Shazam other things. Shoes, someone's perfume, or perhaps A PLANT?

Well that time has come! For plants, anyway.

The app “PlantNet" works by using an image search engine, with information collected through a large social network. The users of PlantNet regularly collect field data and then share their findings, which help to identify and add information about the quality of images and the plants' nuanced patterns.

Their newest project, IdentiPlante, actually allows you to use the database to quickly receive data about the plant which you have taken a picture of. Or, in more fun terms, you can SHAZAM DAT PLANT.

How cool is that? It is super exciting news for those of us who love plants and flowers. And if you don't already have a fascination with plant-life, it may spur a newfound love. I mean, for anyone who feels burrowed in a technology-based life, this app could be a great way to literally stop, possibly —and then digitally collect information about—the flowers.

Eh, he's a little off-key.

Brazilian patient Anthony Kulkamp Dias was having a tumor removed from his brain and needed some way to keep awake. Also to keep from screaming, "THEY'RE IN MY BRAIN! PEOPLE ARE TOUCHING MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW! HELP! HELP! HELP!" which is what I imagine myself doing under the circumstances.

That's right. You have to stay awake during brain surgery so they can figure out right away if they've lopped off anything important. Usually, patients are asked to keep up a stream of chatter or to recite the alphabet. Dias wanted to play the guitar instead. He does a pretty good rendition of "Yesterday" and it makes an eerie soundtrack to having your head cut open. Compared to your brain surgery day, most normal days must seem pretty trouble-free.

Keep believing in yesterday, Mr. Dias, we are all rooting for your tomorrow!

Short Term Bliss: The 5 best things about temping.

$

Whether you're a recent graduate or just failing to achieve your dreams, you may find yourself in the glamorous world of temporary employment.

Temping gets a bad rap, but there are plenty of perks that will have you saying, "No benefits, no problem!" Here are the 5 best things about temping.

1. You don't hate everyone, yet.

The lame office jokes and stories are hitting your ears for the first time, not the 500th. When Keith from Accounting says, "Is it Friday yet?" on Monday morning, you smile. When he says it every Monday morning for five years, you smile while aggressively stabbing thumbtacks into a homemade voodoo doll of Keith from Accounting. (Ok, it's a potato, but Keith happens to look exactly like a potato.)

Full-Time-Employee-You is one heatwave away from murdering Keith and sending him straight to Hell where he belongs. ("IS IT HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW, KEITH!? IS IT!?")

But not Temp-You. Temp-You is like, "Oh cool, someone talked to me."

2. "Sorry, I'm just the temp."


Were sweeter words ever spoken? This sentence is your get-out-of-jail-free-card. Screw up all you want. It's not your fault; you're just the temp!

Hung up on the CEO?

"Sorry, I'm just the temp."

Wasted 90 minutes sending one fax, when no one's needed a fax since 2002?

"Sorry, I'm just the temp."

Patted Carla from HR on the stomach and asked her due date, when she wasn't pregnant?

"Sorry, I'm just the temp."

3. Flying under the radar!

Most people haven't bothered to learn your name, so it's unlikely they'll notice you've spent 45 minutes in the bathroom. Why zone out to a spreadsheet, when you could be hiding in a stall, taking selfies, and tweeting Keith from Accounting's humorous quips as your own?

"Am I working hard or hardly working? #LOL #TGIF"

4. New job, new you...

Your past can't come back to haunt you. Temping is a fresh start. When all the doughnuts are gone exactly two minutes after being set out, everyone's not automatically like, "Damn it, Greg!"

No one knows you regularly get drunk and karaoke 90s female empowerment songs, using the instrumental breaks to scream, "I'm so lonely." Or that you left your last job because you went on two dates with the UPS guy, and quitting was easier than facing him again.

Sorry, you don't get vacation days, but luckily, your grandma can kick the bucket again and again. Little do they know, she actually died in 1996, as part of Puff Daddy's Vote or Die campaign.

5. That swag though!

Sure, you're not getting much of a salary, but offices are full of freebies! Candy, bagels, instant oatmeal, Splenda packets, highlighters, napkins, binder clips, teabags, and those little wooden coffee stirrers no one needs.

I don't think you're technically supposed to steal stuff, but if you get busted, a good thing to say is, "Sorry, I'm just the temp!"

So, be proud of your temp status! You're a shooting star- you burst into the office, then burn out quickly, and disappear before most people notice.

And if you have full time employment, don't despair, any job can be a temp job if you're bad enough at it!

No, a soldier who lost two limbs in combat didn't "lose" the ESPN Courage Award to Caitlyn Jenner.

There's a nasty rumor going around that Caitlyn Jenner will receive this year's Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs at the expense of "runner-up" Noah Galloway, a double-amputee army veteran and competitive runner. This is all kinds of not true.


Has ESPY, is a badass. (Via Vanity Fair)

Just hours after Caitlyn Jenner announced her new name with a smokin' hot Vanity Fair cover, ESPN announced that she would receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the network's annual ESPY Awards. Jenner fits the criteria for the award, as she is an Olympic champion and very publicly transitioned from male to female.

Related: Read more of our coverage of Caitlyn Jenner.

The Courage Award is not like Best Picture at the Oscars, where nominees are announced and somebody wins at the ceremony. It's more like a Lifetime Achievement Award, where one winner is announced ahead of time. And yet right after the ESPYs announcement, jerks on Twitter and Facebook started spreading a rumor that Jenner had won the ESPY over Noah Galloway, a marathon runner and Crossfit athlete who lost an arm and leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq. (Your aunt on Facebook who spread this rumor likely knows him because he was on Dancing With the Stars.)

No ESPY, but still a badass. (Via Buzzfeed)

And that's when the misplaced outrage began, as people who take cable TV awards shows and who may also be just a wee bit transphobic called it a "disgrace" and an "outrage" and things like that. Of course, there's even a Change.org petition to force ESPN to overturn its decision.

The rumor-debunkers at Snopes have already figured out where the mess started. On Monday, conservative radio host Gerry Callahan tweeted this clever and tasteful "joke":

Parents who yell at graduation are annoying, but do they deserve to go to jail?

Parents were issued warrants for "disturbing the peace" for cheering for their kids.

We all know we're supposed to hold our applause until the very last name is read at commencement. We also all know that a big crowd of people can't sit in silence listening to names of people they don't care about for very long without wanting to scream. That's why when the name of their child or sibling finally gets announced, they freak out.

It's par for the course at a boring event like graduation, but one Mississippi Superintendent couldn't take it in stride. He not only asked two people to leave the ceremony for shouting things like "you did it, baby!" but also had police send warrants for their arrest, including a $500 bond.

Not only do these supportive people have to show up to an unnecessary court date, they'll never get the time back that they spent watching that dumb graduation. If anyone owes someone $500, it's that high school for making people sit through that.

Ugh. Welcome to the real world, Class of 2015. Shut up or go to jail.

Imagine a world in which women's eyes did not take up 37 percent of the real estate on their face.

The problem with women in animated films today is they promote impossible standards of beauty. Little girls who grow up watching these movies end up thinking they're ugly if they don't have freakishly huge eyes, pencil-thin necks and beach balls for heads. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement, but there is definitely a disconnect in how women are drawn in those movies and how they look in real life.

Just take a look at these reimagined images of Disney Princesses from TheNamelessDoll:

Elsa from 'Frozen'


Wow, she actually kind of resembles a human.(via)

Anna from 'Frozen'


Looks a little more like Kristen Bell than E.T.(via)

Rapunzel from 'Tangled'


Now that looks like a person whose hair I can imagine climbing.(via)

Mavis from 'Hotel Transylvania'


Okay, this isn't actually Disney, and she's more of a countess
than a princess, but lets not get too pedantic here.
(via)

It's worth noting that the artist behind these images says she isn't trying to make a political statement with these photoshopped versions of movie stills. "These edits were created simply to give me a chance to practice my manipulation/anatomy skills. Nothing more, nothing less. They are NOT meant to be 'better than the original' or 'what it should have looked like...,'" she writes.

Regardless of their purpose, they're pretty cool reconceptualizations of the original characters. You can see a whole bunch more of them on TheNamelessDoll.
