What do you get when you make a ball pit out of a kiddie pool and put it in the mongoose habitat at the Houston Zoo? This is a type of enrichment for the animals — mongooses dig as a part of their natural behaviour, and a ball pit encourages digging. And well, it’s a lot of fun for every species — via Youtube
In the past quarter century, recycling has moved from a new concept reserved mostly to hippies to something most people do, but new variations on the themes recycling and upcycling keep popping up. The newest twist in industrial recycling is Boeing’s new addition to their Custom Hangar
online gift shop. Starting this holiday season, Boeing is making vintage parts from their airplanes available for sale on the website. You can now buy engine blades from various models for $200 to $400, windows from 747s and 767s for $600, a table made from the core of a jet engine for $9,600, the control stick from a P-51 Mustang fighter for $1,250, a full galley beverage cart for $1,900 and similar pieces of air travel engineering and history — via PSFK

It goes without saying that I’ve tried these cookies myself, which was both reckless and prudent because I learned that I needed to include a warning with the boxes I’ve been sending to people. While eating them, one sometimes hears ancient voices speaking in alien tongues and notices cats, birds and/or trees casting multiple shadows. However these are merely signs of a strictly temporary lunacy that does eventually pass. All essential rites were observed and incantations uttered by me throughout the preparation process. And what’s a little madness and abject terror if it means I’m able to put a smile (however demented) on the face of a friend? Cthulhu fhtagn — Imgur

This Melville Aubin-designed Sunpark 1930s art deco property in Brixham, Devon is grade II-listed and dates back to 1935, when it was but for a Mr GB Jordain. Amazingly, the property is still the possession of the family now, which perhaps accounts for how well preserved this place is. English Heritage described it as an almost perfectly preserved example of a Modern Movement house
. If you love the style this is (and has been for some time) the dream house. The price has steadily dropped over the years and at £550,000 — via WowHaus

For a while now I have been wanting to find a way to show off my comic book collection in my office. I had done a lot of searching online for comic book picture frames and have been constantly turned off by the price of them. I have always been turned off by the price of photo frames, but that is a rant for another blog post — via Youseph Tanha
This iconic Hydra logo lapel pin can be seen on Johann Schmidt’s hat and black leather overcoat on his Hero SS costume in Captain America: The First Avenger. And this isn’t just based on that pin — it’s actually cast from the screen-used prop. So, get a Hydra Pin today and let everyone know that if they cut off your head, two more will grow in its place… or something like that — ThinkGeek

If you want something a little swinging and a little sixties on your walls, check out this Funky Flora wallpaper by Barbara Hulanicki. Barbara Hulanicki = Biba and this design is said to be heavily influenced by an original Biba print from around 1962 (although we actually had Mary Quant in our heads when we first saw it). There are four variations to choose from, but we think the more colourful lime green, angering and pink show it off best. The rolls are 10m long and 52cm wide, selling for £54. Samples are available too — via Retro To Go
