…Jon Dyer loves facial hair?

Beards

According to the official chart of facial hair types, there are 34 different types of facial hair.

According to Jon Dyer, he’s done 24 of them so far, and plans to continue until his face has featured each one.

Check out his blog for a documentation of his quest.

…It’s Thing Thursday: Rolling Razor?

Rolling Razor

The Rolling Razor is a new type of razor that uses two opposing heads to shave “in multiple directions with a single stroke”. Also, having both heads allows you to shave both with and against the grain in fewer strokes for a closer shave.

Available in both men’s and women’s styles, it’s designed to give you a faster and easier shave, and with an innovative handle, it “puts you in control”.

The Rolling Razor might not go Mach 3, but your face and body probably won’t mind.

…You can catch sunglasses on your face?

Back in May of ’07, I posted a video of a bunch of guys catching sunglasses on their face:

In case you were wondering how it was done (I know I was), Captain Disillusion has posted an explanation video that breaks down each of the seven scenes:

As with all magic, it seems easy once you know how the secret. However, it’s the magician’s innovation that keeps you guessing, and with videos like this:

I’m sure the glasses guys will have us guessing for a long time to come.

…You can eat googly eyes?

Edible Flying Spaghetti Monster

After more than a year of “painstaking directed research” by their Experimental Foods Division, Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has figured out how to make 100% edible googly eyes.

The formula is a mixture of gelatin capsules, sprinkles, and whoppers, and the end result are eyes that are perfect for your food face of choice. Plus, by adding the eyes to a mixture of noodles and marshmallows, they have also created a wonderfully delicious looking version of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

What will you make with yours?

…You can be a part of the Junoverse?

In addition to being one of the best films of the year, Juno also has a few more things going for it:

1. One of the best opening title sequences I’ve seen in a while. The hand-made sequence was created by Shadowplay Studio, and lends itself nicely to the quirky and creative tone of the film itself.

2. A great soundtrack with a great ecard creation tool/marketing ploy. Just upload your face, add pieces of Juno flair, and send to a friend. You’ll be part of the Junoverse in no time.

…Your smile isn’t perfect?

Jessica Simpson Smile

Think you have the perfect smile?

Apparently scientists have done a test or two, and come up with the following guidelines:

  1. Bright white should be avoided. The Whiteness of the teeth should match the whites of the eyes.
  2. A smile’s ideal width should be no less than half the width of the face.
  3. Both upper and lower lips should be symmetrical on each side of the mid-line of the face.
  4. The top row of teeth should be dominant while very little should be seen on the bottom row.
  5. All teeth on display should be straight with no visible signs of restoration work.
  6. The teeth should diminish in size from front to back. (Those either side of the central teeth, the laterals, should be 61.8 per cent the size of the bigger teeth. The next teeth along should be 61.8 per cent of the laterals. The width of the central teeth should be 80 per cent of their height.)
  7. Very little should be seen of the gums. (To avoid a horsey smile.)
