Smart celebrities. I knew Sharon Stone had a high IQ but had no idea about the others. And oh! Everybody needs to relax about Bradley Cooper’s French. It’s not that good and it’s not that big of a deal.

Gandhi’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World poster. Yes!

Recreating Mills & Boon romance book covers. Their outfits are just perfect!

A Post-It note travels the world to find its father. Awesome!

Breakfast interrupted. Magical!

In case you’re not following our wedding photoblog (if you’re not, No soup for you!) check out this video my talented husband shot. Ashlee&Noam are absolutely adorable and downright hilarious!

Anyway, here are some links I should have posted on Friday and some fashion-related stuff I should have posed yesterday.

I made these yesterday. They are sooo good! I used milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, so they’re a bit sweeter, but next time I’m definitely using dark. D doesn’t really like them, which is awesome, because, hey! more for me! They taste exactly like French papillotes if you’ve ever had them.

Become Someone Else ad campaign. Brilliant! {Via Happiness is}

If I decide to make brownies some day, this is how I’ll make them.

Love this photo of Gwyneth Paltrow and Blythe Danner by Annie Leibowitz.

Human flight video. I have no idea how they filmed this, but it’s breathtaking! {Via Ebb&Flow}

Would you like this clock? It would take me a while to figure out what time it is.

For Mathematicians who love phi.

For chicas who love stripes, how awesome are these little striped numbers? {Via Apples And Onions and I Love Bastille}

You are going to love this video of a cute girl trying the first ballet position. She is trying so hard!

Also in the kiddos department, check out this conversation between two twins. Seriously, is this for real? They seem to be understanding each other perfectly.

Live The Language videos: Paris, London, Barcelona.

I’ve just seen Incendies. It’s a real masterpiece, one of those movies that stays with you for a long time.

The loneliest whale in the world…

Meet John Doe. No kidding.

Largest live action Angry Birds game… with a twist…

[To view the English subtitles, choose "English 100%" from the Choose Language dropdown box, under the video timeline.]

A burger cake which looks very realistic. Don’t worry, it’s not made from actual burgers.

Pencil tip sculptures. How minutely amazing!

Stanley Chow’s illustrations. I am seriously in love with the ones of the Mad Men cast, and the one of Lady Gaga. But there are so many good ones, it’s hard to choose a favorite.

Where children sleep. A beautifully designed book filled with heart breaking stories.

Kids’ perspective to the technologies of the past. If you know what a floppy disk is, you’ll feel very, very old…

A 5-year old needs a job before getting married. Very mature! And cuuuute.

Grandma’s superhero therapy!

56 best/worst analogies of highschool students. Thanks, Phil! These are hilarious. “She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef” has got to be one of my favorites.

That’s all folks!

Dear America: You cannot wear your pajamas all the time! {Via Yes and Yes}

Adolf Hipster. This is hilarious!

How to take better travel photographs. Yes, don’t go overboard with landscape shots. And also don’t take photos as if you were working for Google Streetview, i.e of every single building you see. Try to capture what captures your eye.

Exotic destinations you can afford. Yeah, baby!

Message-in-a-cookie cutters. Cuuuuuute! I love the coloring too. I might actually give this a try. It’s too adorable not to.

Google before you tweet… I’d hang this up on my wall. Why do I love typography so much?

We had Christmas crackers at our Christmas party this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard at those cheesy jokes. This is a great do-it-yourself idea. Isn’t the paper lovely?

Pim and Jam? No, not a typo! Just ridiculously funny (and creepy) photoshopping. As the warning on the website says, you cannot unsee this photo. Also Obama and Bush.

To My Wife – romantic, makes me smile, and almost cry. Almost. Here’s an excerpt:

MY CLOTHES: You look way better in my shirts than I do.

IT JUST SNOWED: Walk in my footprints.

To My Husband – hilarious. And also very naughty. Here’s an excerpt:

JUST SAY THE WORD. And I can be back from the ladies’ room to slip my underwear in your pocket before the waiter brings the wine.

DRESS CODE. There is no compelling reason for either of us to wear pants when we’re alone in the house, unless one of us is making bacon.

IF YOU TAKE ME TO SOMETHING WITH “COUPLES” IN THE TITLE I will tell everyone you’re living out a marriage fantasy, and that I’m a paid escort sent by the Make-A-Wish foundation

You’re welcome.

First things first, if you didn’t know about Damn You Autocorrect, you’re missing out on some serious laughing. And I mean SERIOUS. Tears, stomach cramps, achy face muscles guaranteed. My favorite autocorrect fails are these ones.

And you know what else is funny? This cat video. Who knew they liked bunny hats that much?* {Via Unruly Things}

Awesome app for iPhone: Cut the Rope. I don’t normally like computer games, but this is so cool! Plus that little candy-loving creature is adorable.

It might be that I’ve been watching a lot of Mad Men and their 60s ads, but doesn’t this minimalist packaging look so much better? The one for Schweppes is definitely better. {Via Yes and Yes}

An amazing dorm room. It’s astonishing what good taste can do… {Via A cup of Jo}

This is how this Mad Men picture on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine got photoshopped. A very lousy job, IMO. And whoaa! do January Jones’ (Betty Draper) legs look weird! {Via A Cup of Jo}

* Later edit: the cat video is actually played backwards. Cats don’t really like bunny hats… too bad…

What a cool idea: rebranding the US Dollar – The Dollar ReDe$ign Project. Some of the submissions are fantastic!

Another great iPhone App: Word Lens. It translates text instantly, and all you need is your phone!

Amazing underwater sculptures!

I’m a great lover of stop motion videos. And this ad for Moleskine is absolutely brilliant!

Visualizing Facebook friendships. And this is how Paul Butler did this (as a side note, as I was reading his entry, I was telling myself “this could more or less easily be done in R”. And a few lines down, I read “At that point, I began exploring it in R, an open-source statistics environment”. I was quite proud of myself for thinking that).

Here are this week’s links.

The Products We Hate – you have to read this, I couldn’t stop laughing. Also, Go-Gurt? Seriously, America? What’s next? A sushi popsicle? Oh, wait, that already exists. Fo’ shame!

When I have kids, I want to raise them the same way.

Ginko “leaf-it” – so awesome! This is so much better than the green star-shaped post-it I’m using now.

Tableware that will impress your guests – my fave is #8, Wonderland Cutlery.

Exploding vegetables – I’m against violence and anything destructive, but this is pretty cool!

Girls in Windows by Ormond Gigli – this is not photoshopped, 43 women actually stood in the windows of a building in the 1960s. Read the story behind it here.

Jessica Hische is a font goddess.

Paris vs New York by Vahram Muratyan. Via A Cup of Jo.
