Fountains of Blood

These blood fountains were spotted in Romania as part of a hemophilia awareness campaign. They make an equally impressive spectacle for Halloween.

Best Halloween Candy Carriers

If your youngster is looking to maximize his or her candy score this year, give them a pillowcase instead of one of those cute trick or treat buckets. My Science Project, who did the pumpkin experiment we linked to yesterday, has also done a scientific look at candy carrying apparatuses and has found that pillowcases are the way to go for maximum candy loading. Of course, if your kiddo isn’t strong enough to carry up to forty pounds of candy, size might not matter in the long run.

Maximizing Pumpkin Longevity

Ever wonder how to prolong your beautiful jack-o-lantern from becoming a pile of mush? My Science Project has taken a fascinating look at common remedies for pumpkin preservation and found that applying bleach and Pumpkin Fresh are the two best means for preservation, but that applying nothing to the pumpkin can also be a safe option. I only wish they tried WD-40, which was suggested by Extreme Pumpkin master Tom Nardone.

Obama and his family better not be afraid of specters, because the whole White House is full of them. From Lincoln to Jackson to Jefferson, some of history’s greatest men have refused to give up their residence in the famed home, even in the afterlife.

RTD Halloween Extravaganza!

Good news! In honor of the coolest holiday in America, we’re going to be exclusively limiting our content to Halloween-related topics this week. Hope you enjoy the festivities.

As long as I’m making one of these rare site announcements, I’d also like to ask if any of our regular readers know anything about Word Press layouts. Specifically how to make my archives look like the homepage instead of a list like they appear now.
