As I mentioned in last Friday’s post, my best friend of 20+ years just had her second child. Guess what she was forced to wear on the way home from the hospital? Pandas, of course! Courtesy of her ‘Aunt’ Julie.

I know it’s hard to tell in the photo, but it is actually panda related. Here’s a better view of the outfit:

And just to prove I tortured her sister when she was a baby, too…

Be forewarned, these are disturbingly funny in a creepy clown sort of way.

My best friend of 20+ years (sister for all intents and purposes, really) had a brand new baby girl this morning at 5:14am! These pants would definitely be on the list of things to buy her if I lived in Australia. They’re adorable!

$8.99 AU from Fish 4 Value’s eBay Boutique.

But not how you’d think…

Ha!

Anyone know the creator of this awesome graphic?

My grandmother just had a CT scan and I’ve been researching her diagnosis online. While doing so, I stumbled upon this post over at Mind Hacks.

“The image you can see on the left is the ‘face of the giant panda sign’ that appeared in a brain scan of a patient with multiple sclerosis… The pattern is apparently caused by “high signal in the tegmentum, normal signals in the red nuclei and lateral portion of the pars reticulata of the substantia nigra, and hypointensity of the superior colliculus”

So, I’m the first to admit that I have no clue what most of that means, but I thought I’d post it for those who do. Perhaps the photo will help clear things up…

The entire scan is after the cut. (more…)

A reader linked to this game, and I was instantly addicted! I love mahjong, but mahjong with a little panda buddy to help? Awesome.

You can play for free here.

Seriously, what’s better than a kung fu panda? A kung fu panda iron-on…

Need a panda accessory for your mp3 player (or iPhone/iPod/iPad/iThing)? These ear buds are only $14.99 from ModCloth.

Babygadget featured these adorable mini lunch notes today and I couldn’t wait to share them. When I was a child, my mother would leave a note in my lunch everyday and it always made me smile. While your child would certainly love any note, they’d especially love one with a cute little panda on it!

Available from Chronicle Books – and they’re only $9,95 for 105 notes and 100 stickers!

So, while this isn’t particularly my style I can certainly appreciate the talent it takes to create (and wear!) these little works of art.

Or, if you’re not quite that adventurous, you can always opt for the much more subtle Panda-monium Pink from OPI…
