– Maybe not such a good role model: Valeria Lukyanova, the Ukrainian model who has transformed herself into a life-sized Barbie doll, has made some pretty out-there statements about how she hopes to one day be able to live as a “breatharian,” meaning that she subsists solely on air and sunlight. Good luck with that.

Anyway, it turns out that, without makeup, she still looks a lot like a Barbie doll.

Also, she seems to be pretty racist, which might not be that surprising for someone who wants to be the exemplar of white blondeness. She also said she hates kids.

– They messed with the wrong squirrel: Seriously, man, squirrels will mess your sh!t up. Especially in Indiana:

Fort Wayne is in the middle of a $2-million renovation converting an old ice arena into a community center that will include basketball courts, and indoor track, and other facilities. Associated Press reports that a lone squirrel got into the electrical system and just had a field day, causing an electrical surge in the air conditioning and boiling systems to the tune of $300,000.

– Some parents will believe anything, it seems: No, smoking bed bugs is not a thing amongst kids these days. How the hell would that even work?

– Office slackers are now obsolete: Here’s a machine that can fold a piece of paper into an airplane and launch it so that it glides straight into a recycle bin, all in a matter of seconds.

– Even “Game Night” no longer needs human involvement: Like most people [citation needed], I am fascinated by giant construction equipment, especially those McMansion-size dump trucks used in mining operations. Still, I’m not sure I’m ready for a world in which Caterpillar machines play Jenga for us:
