A musical about Burning Man should not exist

I love musicals. But a musical about Burning Man? I don't think so. My problem with Burning Man: The Musical is that the songs are badly-written. Admittedly, I watched the first video because I was curious and I expected it to be awful. It tells the story of Joe, a young techie who hopes to become a multimillionaire. I don't know much about him, but he hangs out with Silicon Valley elites, eats psychedelic shrooms, prays to Steve Jobs and dresses like one of the characters from Mad Max.

The first video is up on YouTube, but producer Matthew Werner and his crew are still trying to raise $20,000 to produce two more songs from the musical and eventually a full-length spectacle. Here's the best part: For a $5,000 Indiegogo donation you can get your own speaking or singing role in one of the clips. Good Lord!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

This jellyfish can age backwards and regenerate body parts

Moon jellies have amazing superpowers. They have the ability to regenerate lost body parts - just like Deadpool, create clones of themselves - just like Multiple Man and, recent research has revealed, they can age backwards - just like Benjamin Button. The discovery was made by Jinru He, a graduate student in marine biology at China's Xiamen University. According to National Geographic , Jinru collected a baby male moon jellyfish from the ocean and raised it to a full grown adult. When it died, he transferred the corpse into a new tank, and noticed a sea anemone-like polyp on the specimen three months later. Scientists believe that the discovery could give us better insight into cancer cures. If you're interested in jellyfish, check out these stunning images taken by Russian marine biologist Alexander Semenov.

Details from lucid dreams

If Audrey Stomme s' paintings came alive and transformed into celebrities, they would be Alicia Vikander or Cara Delevingne — confident, perky, and unabashedly luxe. The Minnesota-based artist has a knack for blending ink and acrylic paint in striking combinations to create abstract human forms with an exciting curiosity surging through them. Her pieces brim with courage and exhibit the inherent freedom of her subconscious. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but it still fascinates me.
