Hey guys, welcome back, it's time for more unique links. Remember the simple way of getting back to this site to keep track of new content is Nothingisfalse.com. Be sure to check out all of the other unique links throughout the blog if you haven't already.
Mantis Shrimp
This thing looks like a cross between a lobster and a praying mantis, and at first I thought it was photoshopped, but these things are real, and probably the scariest shrimp in the world.
17 Genetically Engineered Hybrid Animals
Sure these may looked photoshopped but they are all actually real hybrid animals created in a lab...okay so they are photoshopped, but they're still pretty awesome.
Surprised Animals
Here are some hilarious pictures of animals that look like they were just told the most shocking news ever.
Wild Animals as Pets
Here is a series of pictures showing domesticated wild animals, a lion in the bed, a baby elephant that thinks it's a dog, goes well with the last link.
Comic Book Characters Redesigned
If you're a comic book fan, this site is something you'll surely enjoy. They take all of your favorite characters and redesign them, different artists submit their creations, some of them are not so impressive, but some of them will blow your mind.
Super Skrull Redesign Concept
Of all of the ones I've seen on Project Rooftop, this one is my favorite, just had to showcase it specifically.
Pat Robertson Making Sense?
Well a little bit at least. The same guy who said that God told him Mitt Romney would win, and then after the election said that he misheard him...actually makes some sense in this discussion about the age of the Earth. C'mon people, if he can figure it out, there's no excuse.
Legalize It
I'm not entirely sure how this site gets it's statistics, or for that matter if it is entirely accurate, but I'd love to think it is. It shows the percentage of people that think marijuana should be legalized, for medicinal purposes, or just recreational use. Some of the people that seem to be in support of legalization, or at least decriminalization are shocking. From politicians, to police officers, to fox news hosts(what!?) to even, you guessed it...Pat Robertson.
10 More Things You Didn't Know
Man, you gotta love Listverse.com. I can't get enough of that site, it always has some of the most creative lists, and they aren't afraid to think outside of the box. Enjoy.

Websites For Your Entertainment
It's been a few days since I've posted any new links on here, and the only excuse I have is that I've gotten addicted to a certain game that I haven't been able to peel myself away from long enough to make a good list of links. The first link I will give will take you to that game, and you probably won't even bother with the rest if you're like me, because once you get started with this game, it's easy to want to play just long enough to level up just one more time, and then again, and again.
ShellShock Live 2
It looks just like all of those other tank games, where you're on one side of the screen, trying to line up the trajectory of your shot to hit somebody on the other side of the screen. It looks that way, but under the surface this game has so much going for it that past renditions have lacked. For one, it is multiplayer with an in game chat, but that's not really revolutionary is it? It has an arsenal of different types of shots, and you unlock new weapons every time you level up. Ah yes, you gain experience every time you battle, and level up to unlock new features and maps. Your weapons also level up. There are many different game modes. I could go on and on.
SoundCloud
If you're a musician, chances are you've heard of this site, but if not, get over there now. It's like social networking with music, it's a lot easier to share the link to your SoundCloud page than to pass out demos, and it's easy to keep track of how many people listen to each song, who downloaded, and who's following you. If you're not a musician, but a big music fan, this is a great place to find a ton of underground music.
Pixlr
Pixlr is basically Adobe PhotoShop in your browser. It's free, and very easy to use, and convenient if you use more than one computer throughout the day. There are a wide range of filters and effects you can use, and everything is highly customizable, and you can edit pictures by layers.
The Colossal Squid Exhibition
As always I try to include an interactive website. In this one you can design a colossal squid and then set him free. Building the squid is pretty fun, and you can drag him around like a rag doll, after you set him free you can return and visit him later on to see how much weight he's gained and how far he's traveled.
10 Psychological Experiments That Went Horribly Wrong
I love weird, and I love lists, and this is a combination of the two, so what's not to enjoy? Not much else to say.

Overly Critical Guy Says...
The last few memes I tried to make were not well received, according to internet law a meme can't have many words, those words can't be big, and the only goal period for a meme is for it to become popular. With that said I've come up with a new formula. I use the same picture, so as not to overwhelm your sensory organs, because god knows reading is already hard enough as it is. So here goes, these memes are catering to the feedback I've received and some of them are more or less direct quotes.

Ron Swanson and The Dos Equis Guy Memes
I'm dedicating this post to Ron Swanson and the Dos Equis Guy. I know, you probably see memes for these two characters all the time. But I made these up myself, so they are completely original, and feel free to use them wherever you like.

6 More Websites Worth Visiting
Compiling a plethora of websites that are actually worth the time of exploring takes quite a lot of time. It sounds like quite a simple process, just surf the internet for hours at a time, and link to the things you come up with. In reality it's a bit tougher than that, sure I do come upon websites that hold my interest, or are pretty fascinating, but I am trying to bring you to you the top of the line content. So sadly, a lot of links that are pretty good don't make the list, of course you can't please everyone every time, so before you check out a link, read the description to see if it appeals to you, because some of this stuff isn't for everybody. With that said, I try to include various categories so you'll at least find a few gems in these lists you'll enjoy.
The Travel IQ Challenge
Think you know a lot about geography? This test will probably prove you wrong. On the other hand, if you're aware that you don't know the location of any countries or cities besides New York and London, well this is a fun way to learn a bit. It's much more fun than it sounds, and it's really addictive too, the levels get harder as you go, and the end product is you'll know a little bit more about where other countries and cities are.
Inhale The Web
This search engine is a pretty innovative way to explore the web, and an easy way to browse through the results. No matter your interests, with this I'm sure you'll find a few websites you'll wish you'd always known about.
Paraprosdokians
These are some very fun quotes in my opinion, according to the link, a paraprosdokian is a statement where the beginning of the statements makes you expect one thing, and the second part of the sentence is unexpected. Surprisingly, many of these funny sayings aren't posted all over the internet, so expect to add some new quotes to your arsenal.
Solar System Scope
A solar system simulator, and man is it a beauty. You'll feel like you're floating freely through space with a grand view of what's unfolding in our star system. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
Google Sight Seeing
All over the internet are those lists of the "Top 10 Weird Sights on Google Earth" or "The 10 Funniest Google Street Views." Well this one allows you to search by whatever category you want and has plenty of things to see.
Europe Reimagined
Well we all know Italy looks like a boot, but what do other countries in Europe look like to creative people? I sure wish I had looked at these before I played the Travel IQ Challenge, sure would have helped to remember the shape of certain countries.

7 More Links To Kill Boredom
Are you still suffering from boredom? Spending hours surfing through bland and boring websites? Looking for something to distract you from having nothing to do? Well here I am again to deliver you some handpicked websites that will hopefully make time fly by for you. I know that while searching through the endless pool of flavorless websites, these ten stuck out from the rest, and some of these really made me lose track of time, so hopefully these will do the trick. Here goes, in no particular order.
Zombie Knights
It should be no surprise that a Kongregate game makes the list. In this game you play a zombie with ability to summon zombies and skeletons to fight at your side. You also have other skills that you can purchase with the coins you collect. There is a wide range of gear to collect/buy/wear, that can give you extra abilities that will help you defeat the waves of baddies that want your blood.
The Legend of Cat Lee
Apparently this game is influenced by a nick toon? I don't know who Cat Lee is, and I would never have known this was a Nickelodeon game because it is so intense. In this game, once again you are killing hordes of enemies, but this time you are shooting. With a skill tree that reminds me of Final Fantasy X, a large variety of runes to collect, that can increase different attributes, and the ability to teleport, this game isn't like anything else I've played. The number of levels and surprising difficulty make this game pretty hard to finish, but who wants a game that you can run through in five minutes?
Fly Guy
I don't know that I would really consider this one to be a game, but it is pretty entertaining for what it really is, which an interactive cartoon of sorts. It's artistic, it's abstract, the music is entertaining so be sure to play it with your sound on. Also, upon playing it the second time around, I realized that I missed a few things, so try to fully explore from left to right before ascending any higher.
18 Games Like Minecraft Lens
Another Squidoo lens, this one features several games that are either almost exact clones of Minecraft, or have similar mechanics or concepts involved. Many of these are free, and if you don't have the money (What was it $5?) to buy Minecraft, then simply use a free alternative. If you've never tried Minecraft, either having never heard of it, or thought it didn't seem like something you'd enjoy, I dare you to try a free version, and tell me you spend countless hours playing this game.
Free PC Games
Well if Minecraft is just not your type of game, this Squidoo lens features a ton of free PC games, and everyone of them is the full version. So if you're super bored, choose from a ton of free games to download, and try them out. It's easy to kill boredom and lose track of time when you're fully immersed in a game you enjoy.
I Used to Believe
This is a pretty hilarious website where people list what they used to believe when they were younger. Occasionally you'll run across one that doesn't really make any sense, as in it's incoherently written, but for the most part the posts are very entertaining, and might remind you of some of the silly things you used to believe when you were growing up.
Blufr
This is really just a true or false game, but so many of the facts go against common knowledge that it's not as simple as you think, but it certainly is fun and addictive. It also shows the percentage of people that have gotten it wrong before you even answer, I can't stay away.

Kicking Boredom's Ass
Boredom, it can afflict you when you least expect it, and what's worse is if you don't have the right tools at your disposal it can be near impossible to get rid of. With a highspeed connection and an entire internet full of content to explore, one would think boredom would vanish into obscurity. Well the problem with that theory is that there are simply too many websites out there, and most often search engines won't help you if you don't know what you're looking for. Well that's why NothingisFalse.com was created. If ever you are bored, and have explored through all your bookmarks, and think that you've visited every website worth visiting, remember Nothing is False is here for you. My goal is to take that boredom, and kick it's ass with a versatile list of links every day to keep you intrigued. No more googling "I am bored" or "kill some time" or any other similar phrases. Nothing is False=The Cure For Boredom.
Weird Cupcakes
This is a Squidoo lens(there's lots of good ones), dedicated to some of the strangest cupcake flavors and recipes from across the land. Some of these sounds weirdly appetizing, others sound insanely repulsive.
Impact Earth
Purdue.edu has created this awesome simulator where you can customize a meteor, and slam it into the earth to see the affects. Pretty cool in my opinion, will it create a mega tsunami? Will it explode the entire planet? Only one way to find out.
What's Deadlier than a Shark?
I think this list was originally designed to make you fear sharks less, little did they it only makes me more scared of deer.
Superpower Infographic
I love infographics, and I love super heroes, put them together and bam, something worth reading for comic book fans.
Video Game Name Generator
I usually don't find name generators amusing, but this one would work great for naming your band, or your website, or you username for a forum or video game, or even a football team. That is, if you want to have a truly original name.
Chain Reaction The Game
I'm fairly certain I've played a few variations of this game, but it never gets any easier, and it never loses it's play value. Use a combination of tactics and luck to start a chain reaction, and accomplish the goal set for each level. It gets harder and harder as you go.
Futuristic Materials
What's cooler than looking at futuristic types of materials? Absolutely nothing. Plastic was a very revolutionary tool when it first came out, obviously aluminum, steel, and even bronze changed the entire world when they were first discovered, but what's next? Here's a list of a few materials that will shake the world up when go into production.
DiY Tricks
There are a ton of these lists out there on the web, but this one has a pretty large array of helpful tricks for making life a little easier. The wrapping a wet paper towel around a drink and sticking it in the freezer is one I find very useful.
Real Life Moby Dick
Okay, so Moby Dick was a sperm whale, and this one is a humpback whale, but still that's pretty mind blowing. I remember sharing a link to an all white killer whale, and it said statistically speaking it may very well have been the only all white killer whale on the planet, so this find is truly captivating.
A-Guide-To-Recognizing-21st-Century-Subcultural-Tribes
Which of these do you fall into? I'd say I'm somewhere between post rocker and faux hip hop if I had to put a label on myself, but I don't like to fit into any box. But this is a pretty funny list, because I live near a college town and see a lot of these "tribes" represented.
Interactive Visual
This one may not hold your interest for too long, but it sure is beautifully designed. I can't tell if those bubbles are supposed to represent star systems or atoms, or maybe neither, in fact it's most likely something more abstract, but either way, it looks amazing.
Marvel.wikia.com
If you love comic books and just can't enough information, or just need to brush up on what's going on today in the Marvel Universe, this site has a nearly endless treasure trove of info. For instance I had no clue that Colossus was now the Juggernaut, super badass.
Make a Southpark Character
This one is already pretty popular, and there's a good chance you've already tried it out. But if you haven't it's an easy way to kill some time.
Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
