Beer...tree?

I know we're all pretty much over Christmas and moving on to New Year's and/or dealing with excruciating boredom, but this is too ridiculous and I wanted to give you time to get started for next year. Behold the ultimate DIY Christmas tree:

That's via lifehacker. It's a pretty good website, but I'm more into Instructables. You can pretty much figure out how to do anything using that website. Projects range from ultra-complicated to ridiculously easy to just ridiculous. There are also lots of instructables that reveal otherwise obvious truths that many of us haven't quite gotten yet.

The best example, and one that's relevant to the beer bottle Christmas tree project, is "How to open a bottle of beer without a bottle opener." Don't tell me you've never opened a beer using your desk at school, because you have. Well, avoid the risk of ingesting shards of glass and use other objects...such as a water bottle (good to keep hydrated while imbibing, right?)

Digg's 100 Weirdest Stories of 2008

Celebrate the holidays with bemusement at what your fellow humans are capable of, by way of Asylum's 100 most bizarre Dugg stories of the year.

Selections range from the adorable "Dogs Risk Life to Save Kittens from Fire" (#73), to the absurd "Woman in Cow Suit Arrested for Creating Chaos" (#97), to the dubiously informative "Redheads Have More Sex than Blondes or Brunettes" (#16).

The list also includes such charming tales as "Man Sues Doctor for Stapling Butt Shut" (#84) and "Guy Had Sex with 1,000 Cars" (#91), as well as a disproportionate number of castration-anxiety-fueling foibles.

My favorite: the indecently hilarious "Chocolate Factory Refuses Bathroom Access to 5-Year-Old with Diarrhea" (#3). What are yours? Discuss.
