For all you museum/Bauhaus/design lovers, check out the new digs for the brand new Bauhaus Museum in Weimar, Germany. The winning architecture firm's design is based on the museum as a flexible object that allows for a multitude of activities in and around the museum. The Bauhaus School is also located in Weimar.

If you really like meat and/or Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, you'll get a kick out of this.

Somewhere in a little town in Belgium something verrrrry dramatic is about to happen...

Any Marvel (me) or action movie lover (also, me) knows that The Avengers is coming out next week on May 4 (after Slope Day festivities anyone? I'm kidding...kind of). I personally like the guy pretending to be Samuel L. Jackson in this one, as well as the cheaply made costumes.

Lately, GIFs have taken over memes, especially with #whatshouldwecallme and #howdoiputthisgently. College campuses across the country have started their own #whatshould(insert college here)callme and some of the Cornell ones are pretty funny. In lieu of formal season, enjoy.
