Re: organicube. The pictures and diagrams are not very good, so maybe I'm visualizing this wrong. But it looks to me like all the curves and things are actually wasting some of that limited space.

3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late

1 // You may need more sleep than you think.
Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were "well rested" actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10 hours a night.

2 // Night owls are more creative.
Artists, writers, and coders typically fire on all cylinders by crashing near dawn and awakening at the crack of noon. In one study, "evening people" almost universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test. Their early-bird brethren struggled for passing scores.

3 // Rising early is stressful.
The stress hormone cortisol peaks in your blood around 7 am. So if you get up then, you may experience tension. Grab some extra Zs! You'll wake up feeling less like Bert, more like Ernie.

Yeah, because I'm beating the crap out of my snooze alarm.

Cuddly Toys of Death

If you’re sick of all the cute, sweet plushies out there, then these great toys are for you. They’re by artist Patricia Waller who has a ton of other awesome designs as well. These specific toys belong to her “Accident” series and the “How to kill your first love” series. I love the teddy bear myself.

It's so hard to pick a fave, but I love the tiger, the shark and the unicorn.

Wouldn't that totally depend on when you went to sleep?

I love those old ads for martial arts books in the back of comic books and science/mechanics magazines back in the '70s. This one is just so over the top (plus the ASSCAPS are pretty advanced for 1970):
