I Thought It Was A Terrible Idea When He Set A Wine Cork On Fire But This Unexpected Trick Is Brilliant!
One of life’s little joys can be found in a nice relaxing glass of wine. There is just something inherently comforting and enjoyable when you sit back and sip on it after a long stressful day. It seems like there is a wine out there for everyone with so many types and varieties readily available.
Once the bottle is empty it usually doesn’t take long before another one is uncorked and wine aficionados often end up with a bunch of corks laying around. Instead of treating them as waste and throwing them out put them to good use and get the most out of your wine habit!
Wine lovers everywhere can appreciate this video that covers 8 different ways to reuse leftover corks. The first project is for wine cork magnets. Cut a cork into 1/8th inch pieces and glue small magnets on one side, then decorate the other side however you wish. Similarly, you can hollow out one end of a cork, place an air plant in it, glue on some magnets, and stick it on any metal surface.
Air plants don’t require any watering because they get all their required nutrients from the air, so they make perfect low maintenance plants for this project. Next up is floating cork key-chains that will ensure your keys never sink when they end up in water. Take a cork and insert a screw eye in the middle of one end, tighten until snug, then attach a key ring and key to it.
Need a bag clip? Make a few wine cork chip clips to help keep bagged food fresh and crisp. Stand a cork up and cut down about an inch into it, move over about a ¼ of an inch and make a 2nd downwards on a 30 degree angle so you end up with a wedge. Another handy use is to make them into plant markers. Take a wooden skewer and stab the sharp end into the cork, label appropriately and stick it in the ground near the plant.
For a more decorative approach try making a candle cork vase. Take a large vase and a smaller glass of equal height that can fit inside of it. Put a candle inside the small glass, place that into the vase, and fill in the surrounding gap with an assortment of corks.
Another useful thing you can make is a cork mirror that doubles as a hot plate to protect counter tops and surfaces from hot pots and pans. Cut a bunch of corks in half lengthwise and lay them out on the mirror you wish to decorate. Glue them on 2 at a time so they frame the mirror and trim any to make it fit nicely.
Finally, we saved the best for last, cork candles. Take a small mason jar and fill it with 70% rubbing alcohol, place a few corks inside, cover it tightly, shake it up, and let it sit for at least 24-48 hours (the longer the better). When you go to burn it simply take a cork out and place it in a candle holder that fits it snugly ad then light the top.
It doesn’t last as long as a normal candle but it’s a good alternative and great to have around in case of an emergency. That’s it! All of these DIY projects are simple, cheap, and easy to do. The next time you drink a bottle of vino, save the cork and reuse it!

This Guy Decides To Take A Nap Under A Tree Then The Weirdest Thing Happens!
A volunteer at the Cheetah Experience in South Africa, Dolph C. Volker, put out this extraordinary video to illustrate the possibility of having an affectionate relationship between a human and a big cat. He writes, “Many people see Cheetahs hunting, running, killing, resting, or raising their young in documentaries, TV, or zoos.
I wanted to show people the up-close and personal side of Cheetahs. I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful their personalities can be. Cheetahs are not considered a ‘social’ cat but they love, display affection, love attention (the tamed ones) and very interactive.”
The footage you are about to view shows Volker with an adult Cheetah named Eden, who has taken an immediate liking to him, within a few days of meeting. He said that he was able to “trust her completely”, as Eden’s comfort with him increased.
His take on her treatment of him was reflective of her experiencing him as another Cheetah. This included the astounding behavior we get to view in this video which Volker narrates as it takes place in front of our eyes; “grooming, nibbling, biting, pacifying, purring, laying on me, and sleeping… cuddling up close to me. I’m amazed how much more interactive and affectionate Cheetahs are compared to the average domesticated cat.”
I have to say that although I found this video captivating, I had to question Volker’s judgement in laying down with Eden; at any moment she could get carried away with her affection and bite him, without meaning to hurt him.
Volker talks about this, although he believes that by listening to her purring he was capable of gauging whether at any moment he could be in danger.

Boy Starts His White Belt Test In Taekwondo But His First Move Makes Everyone Burst Out Laughing!
Cuteness overload. This little boy is so dedicated to his testing in Taekwondo! The instructor gently guides him to success by allowing the little martial artist as many attempts as necessary to break a perforated board in order to obtain the rank of a white belt and subsequent pride.
The boy practices his kick a few times before the board is placed before him, and with heartfelt hiya’s he repeatedly tries his moves to accomplish the classic snap with his feet.
When the board doesn’t budge, the boy hops on top and jumps up and down. Trying not to laugh too much, his teacher encourages him to re-establish his proper stance and perform the kick correctly. The master reminds the boy that if he doesn’t break the board, he will not receive the impending belt.
After several more attempts, the very kind mentor points out the exact line where the boy can place his foot to get the board to fold. The audience in the room is dazzled as they giggle and awe at the boy’s performance.
He refuses to give up and remains focused on the task at hand until he has achieved his goal. With one final wind up and oomph of determination, he manages the perfect strike and at last, the board buckles under the force of his foot. The room is filled with cheers and after being presented his well earned belt, the boy skips away with dignity and delight.

Mama Dog Thought Her Pups Were Gone For Good. But Watch Her Reaction When They Are Reunited
The ties that bind mother’s and their offspring are universally found throughout the animal kingdom. Sometimes, as humans, we think we corner the market on the extent of that bond and and the power that it invokes in how far we will go to protect and nurture our children.
It is true that humans have a far more prolonged duration of care taking than other species. This, however, does not in any way diminish the pain experienced by mothers in other species, when their young are prematurely separated from them.
There is an innate attachment between mother’s and their children that is so powerful that it can cause a mother to do things beyond her natural physical power to protect her young. We often hear tales of human mothers able to lift a car to save her child. Within the animal kingdom, less powerful creatures find the capability to save their offspring from more dominant animals. This power of love is truly one of the most amazing qualities found throughout nature.
The following video which shows a mother dog shedding tears after being reunited with her lost pups. Some may see this as particularly human. The pain of loss and separation is not, however, unique to the human species. The relief shown by this mother dog is something that we can totally identify with as humans. The love and protection of our offspring is probably the most potent emotion found in nature.
It would truly be wonderful if the universality of this kind of love could be spread beyond our offspring to make our world a place where love, rather than selfishness and hatred is so dominant. Enjoy the poignancy of this mother’s relief when reunited with the pups she loves with all her heart.

This Guy Takes 2 Sharpies and Colors The Flash On His Smartphone. The Result Will Amaze You!
With just two permanent markers, one blue and one purple, and some Scotch tape, you can create a germ finder out of your camera. Simply place the scotch tape over the flash on your phone. Color the light with a blue Sharpie and allow the ink to dry. Layer another piece of tape over the blue and color again with the same marker. After another piece of tape, color with the purple Sharpie, and your black light is ready for use in any completely dark area.
The long wave ultraviolet light emitted by this contraption allows for the observation of fluorescence. The colored glow radiates from many substances when exposed to UV light, and can be used for a plethora of things. Artistic lighting effects, medical diagnosis, detecting fluorescent dyes, identifying counterfeit currency, authentication of paintings, curing plastic resins, attracting insects and hunting rocks are all practical applications of a black light.
The low power UV light is not harmful to the skin or eyes, but powerful UV sources do require protective equipment, such as goggles or gloves. The non-threatening version of UV light can illuminate skin diseases as well as fungal and bacterial infections.
Manufacturers often add fluorescing compounds to poisonous substances to allow it to be detectable by black lights if an individual is poisoned. Different substances glow various colors, and therefore can be identified with the shining of the darkened light. Check out what you can find with your own black light camera!

This Ink-Blot Test Will Reveal Your Biggest Fear In Life
image via – playbuzz.com
Fear is an emotion that every single one of us has experienced at many points in our lives. It’s a natural reaction to feel afraid and no matter what you call it; dread, horror, alarm, terror, panic, distress, fright, or threatened, it’ll always have a negative connotation. However, not all fears are bad and it’s actually quite healthy to feel afraid every now and then.
For most people, things like creepy crawlies or heights freak them out. According to various surveys on the topic the most common fears and phobias have to do with snakes, spiders, cockroaches, public speaking, needles, tight spaces, flying, dogs, water, germs, and death. While people can be afraid of virtually anything and everything, they can only fear on thing the absolute most.
What are you the most afraid of in this world? Put another way, what’s the one singular thing, thought, or idea that is truly capable of filling your mind, body, and soul with dread? No one likes to admit it, yet we all have to face what it is that we fear the most. While it’s natural to instinctively repress and avoid the unpleasant thoughts, we eventually need to deal with it and what better way to do just that than with some basic psychology!
This quiz uses ink-blot images to draw out and assess your deepest, darkest subconscious fears and thoughts. What you end up seeing in each picture ultimately depends on your perception of the world. In turn, part of what molds and shapes your interpretation of all the things that you see and come across in life is your unconscious mind.
It’s usually inaccessible, which is why psychologists have developed tests like the one featured here to draw out and uncover the ideas and information it holds deeply hidden. Projective tests, which include ink-blot tests, are psychological tools that use images, words, or situations to analyze how people respond to them.
An individual is assessed in terms of the unconscious personality traits they exhibit towards the stimulus, in this case the image, and from their response hidden emotions are brought to light. In other words, how you view the ink-blots here will reveal what you fear the most.
With that in mind, are you ready to face your biggest fear? Take this projective ink-blot quiz now and see whether or not you agree with the end results. Enjoy!
