For a butter-hooved pony that she is in her waking hours, Derpy Hooves makes the cutest of ponies in restful sleep. One can only wonder what this lovely little Pegasus dreams of. Just be sure to steer her clear of vases or lamps lest she knock them down with a flick of her tail, a kick of her leg, or out of sheer unfortunate happen-stance.
Derpy, the cloud and stand are made out of Philippine mahogany with the gears being carved from Narra hardwood. The figures are painted in enamel and protected by clear lacquer. Lying down, Derpy measures 3″ high while the whole piece is 6″ high, 7 3/8″ long and 3 1/4″ wide. It took 64 hours to make — via Youtube

We conducted an experiment to determine whether people can tell shit from Shinola.
Shinola is a brand of shoe polish once manufactured in the United States. Today we care about Shinola only because it is part of the slang expression doesn’t know shit from Shinola

Photographer Svein Nordrum took a set of gorgeous and haunting pictures of the cars — via Neatorama
