The largest number of phones to explode in one house Infographic

Strangely enough, when you google "The largest number of phones to explode in one house", this site is only the third hit you get. Clearly, this is an area that needs more detailed examination.

There's an art to a good impression, but an impression like this is harder to describe.

Smallest Mass Wedding Infographic

From what I've heard, polyamorous relationships can work, but require a lot of hard work and communication. This is definitely not an ideal way to start.

Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Need To Know postcards on Etsy!

I've already had a few art-related products for sale on my Etsy store, and now, you can have Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Need To Know in your own home, workplace or bunker!

This is a pack of 4 A6 (105mm X 148mm) postcards.

$4.00 AUD

There's two stories behind these, and while they sound contradictory, don't let that put you off.

1) After getting locked in a second hand notebook shop one night, I found a hidden stack of hand-written notes by an unknown author, containing lists of world records and odd occurrences which had, for innumerable and mysterious reasons, gone unrecorded. A member of some kind of secret society? A disgruntled Guinness employee? Who knows, but it got me started off researching these amazing and baffling true facts, which I have documented, and tried to spread awareness of.

Or;

2) I was REALLY bored working an office job, and started making up fake world records to amuse myself - weird in the right way (because, let's face it, a lot of world records are set by... unusual people), mundane in others. Then, I made up a fake backstory for my fake world records.

These are all written by me, with images sourced from the public domain.

The records and events in this set are:

The record for the largest number of times a kangaroo has lapped an inflatable Kit-Kat;
The largest nasal mucus bubble;
The quickest ever holy crusade;
The highest number of accents in a minute.

This guy and Hiromi Shumizuko should work on a project together. A legal one, obviously.

World's Largest Snot Bubble Infographic

In all honesty, my infographicing skills have frankly gotten better since I first adapted this, and the quality of the infographic is clearly essential for getting more truth and facts into the ether.

Is boxing the beautiful game? That's football, right? Boxing has a nickname, doesn't it? It completely escapes me right now.

It's a good point. Conspiracy theories just seem to create lots of unnecessary stress. Unless they're true...

But they're not.
