Russian Nursery Rhymes Are Scary Hilarious!

These Russian Stories Are Horrifying. But That’s Not The Part That Left Me Deeply Unsettled.

Source:Artist/Comedian Ben Rosenfeld has a special skill: he can speak Russian. So when he came across some of Russia’s most (in)famous nursery rhymes, of course he had to combine his talents and create this generation’s most truly hilarious/awful illustrated book for kids. I guess it all depends on your sense of humor.

 Each rhyme is 2-4 lines, with an innocent title and a horrible ending. Each rhyme is accompanied by a brightly colored yet twisted illustration of the scenario described to add humor.

A Skype exorcism: The modern way to rid yourself of demons

I tend to fight demons by grinding my teeth and sipping a glass of wine! I understand, though, that some prefer a religious representative to confront the evil spirit and, well, curse it out.

This isn’t always an easy arrangement. So I’m

Awkward figure skating moments at OS2014

Figure skating is the oldest discipline in the Olympic Winter Games. As far back as 1908, figure skating competitions were included in the Olympics in London, and in 1920 at the Antwerp Games. Since the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, singles and pairs skating have been a key fixture of the Olympic Games.
At present, ice dancing competitions, like those of other forms of figure skating, consist of two programs. The short program combines a compulsory dance—consisting of one or two parts—and certain proscribed elements. The theme and rhythm of the musical accompaniment is determined each season by the ISU the sport’s governing body, while the length of this dance—currently 2 minutes and 50 seconds—is similar to requirements of other forms of figure skating. The free dance has not undergone significant changes over the years and the basis of its scoring remains, the quality of the compulsory elements in close dancing positions, the unison the skaters display and their ability to express the character of the musical selection.

Self-Taught Artist Creates Fairytale Flora And Fauna From Vintage Fabrics

Mr. Finch, a reserved artist in England who goes only by this name, creates beautiful woodland creatures and plants that seem to have come right out of old English fables.

Mr. Finch, who is self-taught, sews his fantastic creations out of reused and recycled vintage textiles. “It’s a joy to hunt for things for my work,” he explains. “The lost, found and forgotten all have places in what I make. Most of my pieces use recycled materials, not only as an ethical statement, but I believe they add more authenticity and charm.”

His works all depict creatures or plants – hares, spiders and mushrooms are recurring characters in his dream-like pieces. “My main inspirations come from nature and often I return to certain ideas again and again. Flowers, insects and birds really fascinate me with their amazing life cycles and extraordinary nests and behavior.”

His pieces are storied indeed – not only because of the storied vintage textiles that he uses, but because of the British folktales and fabled that he is inspired by as well. “British folklore is also so beautifully rich in fabulous stories and warnings and never ceases to be at the heart of what I make. Shape shifting witches, moon gazing hares and a smartly dressed devil ready to invite you to stray from the path. ”
