			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love how someone, somewhere is so keen on iconic video game characters that basically anything featuring them will be made. Well the latest comes from a French burlesque stripper who has created nipple pasties in the shape of the Super Mario power-up mushroom, Pacman and <strike>the ghost</strike> Blinky.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/mushroom-pasties.jpg" alt="" title="mushroom-pasties" width="500" height="371" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-914" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/pac-man-pasties.jpg" alt="" title="pac-man-pasties" width="500" height="371" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-915" /></p>
<p>These are more cool than sexy though, but perhaps it could be paving the way for a new trend of gaming-themed strippers. Hell yes&#8230; i&#8217;d take a buff Link stripper over a cop or a fireman. Or the prince from Prince of Persia. Or Commander Shepard from Mass Effect 2. Or even Mario!  </p>
<p>They won&#8217;t even need to get inventive for the music, it would be wrong to undress to anything but the game music! Someone start this business already!! </p>
<p><strong>Would you guys like to pay ladies to strip off a french maid outfit&#8230; or a Lara Croft one? </strong>(LOL)</p>
<p>Oh I got so excited thinking about that, I forgot to include the prices. These pasties will set you back about €30 &#8211; 40, but you can also get custom ones for around €60.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Korean man named Lee Jin-gyu fell in love with his dakimakura (basically a giant huggable pillow from Japan) and decided to marry it. Sounds reasonable I guess, I mean pillows are awesome, right?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/dakimakura-wedding.jpg"><img src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/dakimakura-wedding-300x241.jpg" alt="" title="Man marries pillow" width="300" height="241" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-798" /></a></p>
<p>The pillow had an image of &#8220;Fate Testarossa&#8221; from the &#8220;Magical Girl&#8221; anime series. </p>
<div id="attachment_795" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 218px"><a href="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/Fate-Testarosa-by-xephonia.jpg"><img src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/Fate-Testarosa-by-xephonia-208x300.jpg" alt="" title="Fate-Testarosa-by-xephonia" width="208" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-795" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fate Testarosa</p></div>
<p>&#8216;He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere. They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal,&#8217; <a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/816601-man-marries-pillow">said one friend</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/dakimakura-meal.jpg"><img src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/dakimakura-meal.jpg" alt="" title="dakimakura-meal" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-796" /></a></p>
<p>WTF this pillow gets treated better than I do! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/dakimakura-on-train.jpg"><img src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/dakimakura-on-train.jpg" alt="" title="dakimakura-on-train" width="300" height="274" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-797" /></a></p>
<p>People call this dude an otaku, which loosely translates as something in between &#8220;obsessed&#8221; and &#8220;nerd&#8221; in Japanese. I love how theres even a special word to describe <strike>people like me</strike> those folk. </p>
<p>I think i&#8217;d be more weirded out if it was a real doll. How is it that a guy can marry a pillow yet gay marriage is still outlawed?! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know why I didn&#8217;t think of this before but someone has created an official World of Warcraft cocktail called The Goldfarmer. Nice! Maybe WoW would be more interesting to play with a couple of goldfarmers in me&#8230; that sounds wrong. Here&#8217;s the recipe:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/goldfarmer-cocktail.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/goldfarmer-cocktail.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-687  aligncenter" title="goldfarmer-cocktail" src="http://www.helloliefje.com/wp-content/uploads/goldfarmer-cocktail-237x300.jpg" alt="" width="237" height="300" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p><em>1 shot Coconut Rum<br />
1 large splash of Raspberry Cordial<br />
1/2 glass of Red bull<br />
Topped off with Tonic Water</em></p>
<p><strong>Directions: </strong>Take a glass full of ice and pour over a shot of Coconut Rum.  Add a large splash of Raspberry Cordial.  Fill half the glass with Red Bull.  Top it up with tonic water.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sounds yummy. Since I can&#8217;t really drink anymore I haven&#8217;t been able to taste this gem but i&#8217;d love to hear what you think about it. Also let me know how it improves your WoW gaming via the comments or you can tweet what you think to <a href="http://twitter.com/HelloLiefje">@HelloLiefje</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While this might be a subject you&#8217;d think would tickle the funny-bone of cat lovers worldwide, this is actually a topic which is quite serious and i&#8217;m sure is unknown to most of you. Sure, we all know that cats are the supreme beings on Earth and humans are nothing but their slaves but did you know that cats carry a parasite which alters your brain and can effect your behaviour?</p>
<p>The parasite was first discovered in rats. Rats have a natural genetic fear of the smell of cat pee as they probably know that they&#8217;ll end up as dinner if they hang around where a cat has been. The parasite (called toxoplasma gondii) causes rats to become attracted to cat pee, thus increasing their vulnerability as prey.</p>
<p>While scientists knew this (and also they knew that the parasite could be hosted in as much as HALF of the worlds population) a recent study has discovered that the parasite attacks only this fear of cat urine with almost surgical precision, leaving other fears totally alone. This opens the door to further studies on how fear is generated in the first place.</p>
<p>It is said that in the human brain the disease is not dangerous but some scientists believe that it could be linked to some mental disorders such as schizophrenia and neuroticism.</p>
<p>Some scientists even believe that the parasite has affected cultural traits in human population. In areas where almost everyone has the parasite they say that it could be the reason why some cultures are more neurotic (on an average personality scale) than others. This theory though is really hard to analyze and I guess more understanding in the human brain is needed.</p>
<p>WTF?! A brain parasite that HALF the world has?? This automatically makes me think of the ancient Egyptian times where cats were worshipped as Gods. I guess the parasite was in full-force back then&#8230; we must have grown immune!</p>
