Chris Cardinal and Threadless.com have teamed up to bring us an online competition called Threadcakes that aims to see who can create the best cake inspired from an actual Threadless T-shirt. The contest began on June 15th and ends on August 3rd, so if you want to enter, you still can because there are plenty of prizes to be won. Just make sure you read the rules so you don’t get disqualified.
The custom cake gallery is growing quickly and some of the cakes are pretty fantastic! See them all here (those 3D cakes are something!).

Amy Stein posted this funny video from The Colbert Report about the arrest of a man taking photographs in Penn Station on the Amtrak platform. It turns out that the man, Duane Kerzic, was arrested for trespassing after admitting to taking photos of “shiny” Amtrak trains for a photo competition that was being held by Amtrak.
I’ve always thought that a ban on photography in “high risk” places was a very ineffective way of combating terrorism and this is clear proof that it is.
The Comedy Central video is below.

I had no idea there was such a contest with so many contestants involved, but wow am I impressed with the way these fish tanks are set up! They’re incredibly detailed and they certainly look like little habitats. If I were a fish, I’d be happy to live in any of these tanks. [via]
