Biscuit-maker Jacob’s is hoping for a place in the Singapore Book of Records with the ‘Largest Sculpture Made of Biscuits.’

The feat sits on a platform measuring about 6 x 1.2 meters, and more than 24,000 biscuits from 13 varieties are used.

It includes the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Tower Bridge of London, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, Malaysia’s Petronas Twin Towers and even Singapore’s very own Esplanade.

The tallest “building” – the Petronas – is over two meters high.

See below for pictures of the sculptures!

A picture of a real “urban” clothing store in China (uploaded by Flickr user Poagoa):

This store in Zhongli was originally called “Nigger King” and changed their name to this after a visit from the police (notice the “A” is slightly different). Now they’re considering changing it again (maybe “Nagger King” is next?)

Btw, the Chinese name translates as “King of the Black People”.

Since our last post about a horrifying Hello Kitty costume for cats, a lot of readers have contacted us about similar dog costumes.

We’ve combined your awesome submissions with some pics we found on our own to make this post of 14 Amazing & Ridiculous Dog Costumes!

My nightmares have come true: Hello Kitty is real.

A Japanese pet apparel company is selling a special edition costume that they guarantee will make your cat look like the spitting image of Hello Kitty. The official Sanrio-approved costume includes a hat and “blouse,” and it only costs 18,900 yen (160 US dollars). Is it worth it?

Who-Sucks.com has conducted a study on the value of this costume and we are now prepared to share it with the general public so that we can conduct a poll on what you think of it!

This is the set. As you can see, it suffers from no shortage of official Hello Kitty logos. The little pink thing to the left of the hat is the Hello Kitty blouse:

Here are some pictures of cats wearing the costume:

And an informative video created to show how one dresses cats in the costume:

Is it really good? Let’s take a look at what these cats think:

The terror is quite clear in the eyes of this poor cat. Help! My master is going to put that ridiculous thing on my head!!!!

________________________________________

Oh, the shame.

________________________________________

But, but, I’m not even the right color!!!

This cat looks like he wants to commit seppuku.

Stop!!! I’m a dog!!

And finally, our poll:

The guys over at Coming Anarchy have written an informative post about the logo of Japan’s newly-established Defense Ministry. The Japanese government had run a contest asking designers for logo submissions, and 767 responses came in. This was the winning logo:

Cool? Lame? Awe-inspiring? Too Web 2.0-ish? Does it suck? If you’re not sure whether it sucks or not, why not compare it to this sampling of Armed Forces/Defense Ministry/Department logos from around the world:
