Since 2008, Chicago-based artist Stephen Eichhorn has been making surprising cat collages, drawing inspiration from his overflowing collection of houseplant guides and books about cats. Focusing his collages on flowers one week and succulents the next, over the past decade he has hand-crafted several hundred pieces, now collected in his debut book, Cats & Plants. Here are some we liked.  

Surprisingly enough the fairer sex doesn't much enjoy hearing about how much their boobs feel like "bags of sand", nor the historically sensuous sex crusade someone ---- anyone ---- has undertaken. Consider this list a helpful guide for what not to drop in a conversation, unless you feel like playing the part of an ignorant overgrown child that feels the need to overcompensate for 'lack of experience' with bloated, potentially fabricated sentiments.

Twitter user @electrapng is responsible for our new favorite weird meme trend. On October 12th, they uploaded 4 bottom text-less Chuck Norris memes, with the message "Hi everyone I wanted to tell you that Chuck Norris memes are 10x funnier when you crop out the bottom caption."

They were right. A few other users pitched in with their own memes, and we're hoping to see more. Nothing like a little surreal Chuck Norris humor to brighten your day. 

Seven years ago, a chance encounter with a bull terrier wearing a scarlet neckerchief in a pub gave London-based film-maker Abbie Lucas and journalist Paul Fleckney an idea. For their new book, Great British Pub Dogs, the pair travelled the country to document the biggest, smallest, cutest, funniest, sweetest, most-endearing resident dogs (and one pig) of around 70 UK pubs . They met old dogs and young dogs, horse-sized dogs and pint-sized dogs. One pub had three Jack Russells, another had four red setters. Many had been rescued, and given a fresh start in a loving home. One was blind in one eye, another had only three legs. The pub dogs were named after Italian footballers, French philosophers, Coronation Street stars and the Hungarian credit crunch. "Most pubs aspire to be a home from home and having a dog does that almost singlehandedly. They seem to bring people together. So many publicans said how the dog seems to make people friendlier and less likely to misbehave", they told the Guardian. Here are some of the bar's best friends.
