Stuff we like: Heckling car models and the hot new Bhutanese king

Wonderful Wednesday whimsy:

The greatest Twitter account ever? So this guy created a Twitter account that tweets when he farts, which would be lame and gross… EXCEPT! It’s a totally automated system whereby his chair actually detects when he farts and tweets about it, which makes it awesome! And you can build one yourself!

It’s good to be the king. Vanity Fair has a great photo slideshow of the coronation of the new Bhutanese king, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. He’s a little bit handsome, we reckon.

Times are tough in the auto industry. At the New York auto show, people are heckling the poor models paid to drape themselves lustily over the car bonnets. We understand the frustration, but… come on, what can they do about it?

Human food only. Twitpic of the sign on the fridge of the Mythbusters team. Heh.

Daring commando raids. In honour of the daring Navy SEALS rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips from  Somali pirates, The Daily Beast looks at some of the world’s best hostage rescues.
