"Domino's is testing a DVD in Brazil that looks and smells like pizza. The idea goes something like this: When people finish watching a movie and remove the DVD disc from the player, Domino's is going to assault their senses with pizza in hopes it leads to sales. DVDs tend to get hot when they're being played. And so Domino's is stamping discs with heat-sensitive thermal ink and a pizza-scented varnish," - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

"If you're not intimately familiar with big-league soccer or why David Beckham became so famous in the first place, watch this video. The seven-minute clip shows more than two dozen of Beckham's free kicks for goals, mostly when he played with Manchester United and Real Madrid before the Englishman joined the Galaxy in 2007." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

"Looks like the 2013-2014 television season will be a rebuilding year for SNL. An unnamed source at NBC has confirmed to the New York Post that longtime castmember Fred Armisen has decided to exit the sketch show after 11 seasons. That same source tells the Post that SNL veteran Jason Sudeikis will “probably” leave the show as well this year." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

"In this case, Disney (DIS -1.54%) has listened to the more than 210,000 petitioners who complained about the sexy makeover given to the fiery-haired Merida, heroine of "Brave." The media giant on Wednesday restored the original, more realistic version (pictured, left) to its official princess Website, although it hasn't yet released a statement about whether it will keep the original depiction for the long term." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

Still, not everyone is convinced that Disney will stay loyal to the original Merida. The character's creator, Brenda Chapman, told the San Jose Mercury News that she's waiting for final word from Disney. "I will stay dubious until they give an official statement about changing the image to match the original version of Merida," she said. Chapman had earlier given a stinging rebuke about the makeover, calling it a "blatantly sexist marketing move based on money." - Surprisingly Monstrous

"Cummerbunds and courage rounded out prom night for a group of 20 Florida teenagers who sprang from their limo to help the victims of an automobile accident on Saturday. The high school seniors were gussied up to dance the night away in Fort Lauderdale when a van carrying a family of seven overturned in front of them on Interstate 595.

"A DNA test used by investigators to identify victims of serial killer John Wayne Gacy has helped solve a 41-year-old New Jersey missing persons case, officials announced Tuesday. Sixteen-year-old Steven Soden went missing on April 3, 1972, but his remains were not identified until 2012, when authorities matched them with a DNA sample from his sister." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

"When astronaut Karen Nyberg is launched to the International Space Station, she’ll bring something entirely new to the space frontier: the art of quilting. "I enjoy sewing and quilting," she explained during a televised interview from Moscow. "I am bringing some fabric with me, and thread. I'm hoping to create something. I don't know what yet it will be — that's part of creativity. It comes with the feeling of the day. So I have the supplies at my hands to create, if I get the opportunity and the creative notion to do so." When she's launched into space on May 28, she'll be taking four "fat quarters" with her (pieces of fabric that are 18 by 22 inches), along with some needles and thread. But up-cargo limitations and safety issues mean she can't take a sewing machine, an iron, paints, a rotary cutter or other common tools of quilters." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

"Zooey Deschanel was nearly unrecognizable at Monday's 2013 Met Gala, where she hit the red carpet without her trademark bangs. Though she looked stunning in her seersucker Tommy Hilfiger gown, it was her hair that made us do a serious double-take, as she looked like a total, ahem, New Girl with her signature blunt bangs styled to the side." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

She looks like Sarah Jessica horse face, I mean Parker. Bangs worked in Zoey's favor. Yikes. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android

"Some of the stadium’s proposed features includes what the organization described as the largest transparent roof, which is possible from the first use of clear ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) in a stadium in the U.S. The team said that the stadium would also have the biggest “glass pivoting doors” of any stadium, which will open to the Minneapolis skyline. Groundbreaking for the new 65,000-seat stadium will take place in October 2013, and the new stadium is scheduled to open in the 2016 season. The stadium is expected to cost $975 million." - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

Then a particularly heavy rainstorm followed a series of wet winters, and the lake overflowed its banks on Nov. 10, 1985. Water burst through a retaining wall and spilled into the lakeside streets. People fled with what they could, and within days their homes were submerged under nearly 33 feet of corrosive saltwater. Now the water has mostly receded, exposing what looks like a scene... more... - Surprisingly Monstrous
