The WaPo has used the money, graciously donated by its paid subscribers, to organize a special around Peeps for this year’s Easter. Peeps, the sugar bombs, not Tweeps.
A photo contest saw many thousands entries and several galleries have been posted online by the WaPo. The Peeps by A. Hitchcock is our absolute favorite. I think it’s time to watch a movie now.

Unless you’re some kind of nerd who has stayed way too long in the cave and waited for your mum to clean your room, you problaby are no hardcore comics or superhero geek either. You might have watched most of Michael Bay’s recent productions and even found the first X-Men movie, as well as Wolverine Origins, awesome but chances that you know who has what power are… nihil.
Don’t fear though! Although we are not nerds ourselves, we do know how the internet works and generally manage it to find the nice small jewels out there on the main world wide web. A free service for our readers!
Today you will need a little bit more time for things though because this is about all the super powers the modern day super heroes have. In one diagram. An infographic even. It will take you a while to discover everything. Believe me. It.will.

Microphotography. You might not have heard of it but it is awesome.
Things can get even better though, especially when the Discworld Master combines everything in one, together with some magical thunderbolt iron. What you get is one DIY-Sword.
With help from his friend Jake Keen — an expert on ancient metal-making techniques — the author dug up 81kg of ore and smelted it in the grounds of his house, using a makeshift kiln built from clay and hay and fuelled with damp sheep manure.
Pratchett, who has Alzheimer’s disease, also said he had thrown in “several pieces of meteorites — thunderbolt iron, you see — highly magical, you’ve got to chuck that stuff in whether you believe in it or not”.
After days of hammering the metal into bars, he took it to a blacksmith, whom he helped to shape it into a blade, which was finished with silverwork.

Many people keep animals as pet but what’s fun about animals? Ok, they can be cute and are so much better with lightsabers but let’s be honest… animals are animals, right?
We would maybe make an exception for BigFoot or Alf but other than that, no pet animals are not the real deal. And so thinks Nick Drummond whose pictures of his preferred pet animal we gladly stole for this post.
Why? Because we can he keeps an AT-AT that’s why. And if you don’t think that rocks, well then maybe you shouldn’t be reading frankylicio.us. Read more
If today learned us one thing, it’s that Batman loves lightsabers. Does this make Bruce a better man?
‘Yes’, we say here at frankylicious HQ. Not that Batman isn’t awesome already but with lightsabers, now that’s the real deal.

What more does your little heart desire. You now got it all in one: zombies, flowcharts and TFIF!
But I know that we all are exhausted after this long week of ‘unproductivity’ and wish nothing else than to hit that first frozen one, you’ll have to hit the image to have a larger view of the flowchart.
Now you can hit the Vortex of unproductivity in good conscious.

I love watermelons. I hate the seeds though, but nothing beats an awesome summery watermelon cocktail, with vodka, some peach liquor and maybe even some passionfruit juice in the mix. Havana Club? A watermelon mojito, maybe?
I’ll have two thanks. Until then, feel free to have your fun with your watermelon. Maybe you first should get some LEGO before you play with melons , still it’s awesome.
