Something that we’ve suspected all along… Baguettes can do anything. Tumblr blog Baguette-Me-Nots by Serious Lunch agrees, and features a few celebrities and comedians convincingly using baguettes in place of everyday objects.

From a hairdryer to a gun silencer, and whatever the hell George Takei is using it for — the series may be a bit more head-scratching than thought provoking, but it does make us want a baguette — more so.

We love you, food. But we’re so busy consuming you, that we never take the time to see what’s on the inside. Cut Food, a photo series by New York-based photographer Beth Galton, explores the innards of our meals by deliberately cutting them down the middle.

From split ramen to a bisected corn dog, the series remains visually stunning while perhaps providing a little too much information. See more here.

Here in ‘merica, cats are nothing more than a poor substitution for a dog. In Japan, when placed atop a bed of sushi rice, cats become Neko-Sushi – a majestic creature akin to a unicorn. Still, dogs rule.

Created by Japanese company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts, prints of the Sushi Cats are available for purchase, as well as a mobile app for some reason.

Famous musicians, because they can be an odd and pampered bunch, have been known to make some strange requests in their concert riders. Artist Henry Hargreaves decided to relish in the ridiculousness, by creating a photo series inspired by a few of these diva-ish demands, shot in a Flemish Baroque still-life style.

Pinhole Camera Made From a Spam Can

Once all of that hammy goodness is gone… What is one to do with the big empty Spam can? Well, one idea is to clean out the gelatinous remnants and create a pinhole camera. Created by Scott from F295, the Spamera has a 50mm focal length, .3mm EMS pinhole and a 6×6.5cm image area. Perfect for taking pictures of ham.

The actual construction of the camera is a bit crude, but then again, so is Spam. DIY instructions can be found here.
