We’ve compiled 25 things you (probably) didn’t know about the cast of Game of Thrones.

1. Alfie Allen who plays Theon Greyjoy is the brother of singer Lily Allen.

4. When Emilia Clarke had to eat the stallion heart, the heart was actually made of a ‘Gummy Bear’ type substance.

Milk Jug Hack: How to Make a Simple Scoop

Image
I’ve read many hints that advise the reader to cut off the tops of plastic milk jugs and use them for funnels. I’ve found that if you replace the cap after cutting the top off, you can use the milk jug for a scoop, too. It’s perfect for handling potting soil, fertilizer or pet food. The no-scratch plastic also makes the milk jug scoop ideal for bailing water out of your boat. — Ray Dean How to Make a Milk Jug Scoop For this scoop, we used an empty half-gallon milk jug and angled the cut so that the side opposite the handle is slightly longer, more like a scoop than a funnel. Draw your cut line on the milk jug. Use sharp scissors to cut on the line. Trim or sand off any rough or sharp edges on your milk jug scoop. As Ray notes above, this scoop can also be used as a funnel by simply removing the milk jug cap. In addition to this handy pet food scoop, check out more projects that’ll show your pet some love .

30 Things That Look Like A Vagina — But Aren’t!

Image
The amazing vagina. Really a genius work of engineering, a true workhorse. So much respect for the incredible Miss V. There is one thing though, I really can’t hold it in any longer! No –- I have been doing my pelvic floor exercises – it’s not that! It, well, and it may just be me but I really do think the vagina was standing outside the room when looks were being given out. Granted –- the vagina is a quite striking composition and one that is very distinct in its appearance. Quite the individual. Or is it?! Hmmmm… It seems the ole Vejayjay has cheap rip offs / imitations appearing around the world. Objects trying to ‘imitate’ this wondrous thing it would seem.
