Peter Callesen is a Danish artist who makes astounding sculptures from sheets of paper. We love his stuff because he takes plain white sheets of paper and makes extraordinarily clever things from them. Peter doesn't just 'Think out of the box'; he's cut a dirty great hole out the side of it.

We like cool vintage stuff, but this is way out of our league. This story is about a lady that runs a weight-loss class and uses a 12 year old unmodified straight-from-the-drive-thru burger as a prop.

Did you know a Giant Panda pregnancy lasts a full two years? Evolution hasn’t been kind to the Giant Panda, explaining why there are only a 1000 or so left in the wild. Here are 10 reasons why you should spare a thought for the Giant Panda:

1. The panda’s distinctive coat keep them warm in winter but makes things unpleasantly sticky for the summer months.

2. A panda’s diet consists almost entirely of bamboo; a plant so low in nutritional goodness that they must eat a quarter of their own body weight each and every day: that's 16 hours eating the stuff just to stay alive. Pandas are 5 times more expensive than other animals to keep in captivity because of their picky eating habits.

3. Although Bamboo is wide-spread in China, Pandas have settled at high altitudes where their staple food hardly grows.

4. Pandas live a pretty solitary existence, hardly ever meeting up with other pandas in the wild. The female comes into season for only a day or two each year - not good for boosting population numbers and explaining why male pandas have evolved with virtually no sex drive.

5. In captivity, zoologist have taken to projecting panda porn into male enclosures, and lace their bamboo shoots with Viagra to get them in the mood.

6. Panda cubs are often born while the mother sleeps, so commonly get rolled on before the female wakes up.

7. Female pandas are widely considered bad mothers – usually she’ll give birth to two cubs, immediately abandoning one of them; often sitting on the remaining one by mistake.

8. Theodore Roosevelt’s son, Theodore Roosevelt Jnr, was reportedly the first foreigner to shoot a giant panda in the 1920's.

9. A male panda’s penis is only 3 cm long.

10. Pandas are liars. It turns out it’s elephants that have a 24 month pregnancy and not pandas at all. In fact pandas are only pregnant for 4 months.
