I’m not Indiana Jones. but I hate snakes as much as the next guy. I never understood why people actually have them as pets. They are cool to look at for a few minutes, and defiantly cool to see eat a live rat, but it ends there. I do not want to hold your dirty python, especially when its wrapping slowly around my neck planning to suffocate and kill me, that is not cool or fun to me. I do enjoy looking at these photos of snakes though, which shows their colorful beauty through intertwining and positioning multiple snakes. These amazing photos of coiled snakes are the work of Parisian photographer Guido Mocafico. I don’t know much about Guido except for the fact his first name is Guido, so I can only assume he should be popping up on MTV’s show Jersey Shore sometime soon. His work has appeared in Numèro, Paris Vogue, Big, The Face, and Wallpaper, amongst other publications. You can check out his other work and website here.

With a recent post by my colleague, friend, and brother Rza, I had the idea to bring you an awesome crib of the week. By the way Rza leave the architecture stuff to me, your list of weird houses were all commercial buildings haha. This week I bring you a residence in the Dominican Republic, which I want to call it “Skaters Paradise”. Done by the architect firm A-cero, the house is composed of sleeping zone and living zone, and was organized into 2 blocks and connected by a covered veranda, while featuring curved volumes emerged from the ground. With a singular architectural idea and a certain level of risky, peculiar of the team that Joaquin Torres directs. There appear two blocks well separated from that there arises a game of curved volumes that look for the vertical position from the covering. The housing is projected by demand of program of needs of the client, in only one plant. There is dressed the whole house of an indigenous stone of Coralline of clear tones (white – beige) that, to part of the proper quality of the material, a visual aspect that prospers with the abundant solar light, and the marine reference.

Usually I would keep a find like this to myself, but with zootpatrol there is no holding back anything awesome from our readers. HEADHOODS is a company based out of Brooklyn, New York and they are bringing a fresh new take on the hooded sweatshirt. There is a giant selection to choose from including Kanye West, Michael Jackson, President Obama, Chuck Norris, Elvis and many others. The cool thing about these sweatshirts is they are hand made, which at first you think, O.K. they are just putting a face on the hood, but there is an additional option. For $9.99 more you get a custom design on the back. There are 7 back styles to choose from and as quoted from the website, “I try my best to make every HEADHOOD consistent, but that’s impossible because I am not a machine. Every HEADHOOD ends up looking a little unique!” These hoodies will run you $59.99 and then an additional $9.99 for your custom back design. If your looking for a hoodie that will literally turn heads look no further, this will not disappoint for a Christmas gift. Speaking of Christmas gifts my brother just moved to Brooklyn, so hint hint, go get me one now. To check out the rest of there products and information check out there website here.

I have never taken acid before, but I think I can imagine how intense it is on some kind of level. A part of me would like to see how it is for the laughs and cool imagery, but the other half knows I would go ape shit and probably jump out of a building, so I will not be trying acid any time soon. Before acid was introduced as a hallucinogen to get high, it was thought to be a key advantage in warfare. What looks like a soldier having a bit of fun above, was actually a series of controlled experiments that lasted for decades. We’re talking about mind control or the use of hallucinogenics such as LSD as weapons used in warfare. Said to have been pioneered by the Nazis; Britain, the United States and others soon followed suit with their own experiments on unwitting soldiers and civilians, the Vietcong and now terrorists…

Jellyfish lake is famous for having millions of jellyfish in it. Someone can say: “But they sting”, it is true. There is though a myth, that Ongeim’l jellyfish or Golden jellyfish are stingless. It is not quite true. The fact is that the sting of the golden jellyfish is undetectable and normally harmless. In turn, the jellyfish provides the algae with a safe haven from predators. The myth also said that this condition has evolved uniquely in this lake as the jellyfish gradually grew to depend solely upon their algae for energy. Either way it must be a real rush coasting through millions of jellyfish when diving through the water. The pictures really capture the magnitude of how many jellyfish really are in the lake, but the video shown below, really gives you a look into the experience.

Ahhh the joy of having a baby, holding it, feeding it, nurturing it, sticking it in a microwave, wait what? For the most part human parents are very loving towards their children, but there are some sickos out in the world today. We are probably the Universe’s shittiest parents, especially when you come to think that even a Hippopotamus does a better job than most humans. Before I go off on a rant, let us just introduce you to a package of pictures we put together for you, promptly entitled, “Human Parents VS Animal Parents”. Have a good weekend zootians and zooters, get zooted.

Instead of drawing graffiti on the walls, a New York street artist Ellis Gallagher decided to use the shadows that lamp posts are making to create street art. Gallagher is only using chalk and stone sediment to outline the shadows into stencils looking like figures or just simple art. This kind of street art is very neat and impressive to come across in the late hours. Especially when you notice that the shadow cast can’t be from any light in the area. This is just another great example of environmental graffiti, not permanently damaging or harming the landscape, but instead embracing it and blending it with it.

It’s crazy to think that there are still pirates cruising the seas. On Monday, Somali pirates hijacked a U.S. bound Saudi supertanker carrying $20 million in crude oil. That is pretty bad ass considering they did it with shitty 80’s machine guns with wooden handles that you’d see in Rambo: First Blood Part II (never understood that title). I’ve always thought highly of pirates ever since I saw the movie Hook back in 1992. Dustin Hoffman played the perfect Capt. Hook in my opinion. He was a suicidal, kidnapping boy killer that still pulled off wearing the traditional fruity pirate garb.

In all my days of playing Mortal Kombat as a kid, I don’t think I ever once picked to play as Johnny Cage. I don’t know if it was just me, but it seemed absolutely ridiculous for him to even be in the game. You have immortal gods of electricity, fire spitting skeletons, ice hurling demons, and a 38 year old washed up Hollywood actor to pick from hmmmmmmmmm. This idiot’s finishing move was to either punch the opponent in the balls, or give him a signed picture of himself, which I guess would make anyone shit their pants and implode. The other mortals in the game Sonya, Liu Kang, and Kano all at least had something cool about them. Sonya had nice boobs, Kano had robot arms, Liu Kang did flying bicycle kicks and turned into fucking dragons, and Johnny Cage just runs around doing upper cuts with a pot belly, fuck Johnny Cage, he would have been killed in the first 3 seconds of Mortal Kombat. Any way I saw this video and got a kick out of it, because all tournaments should have started like this to get Johnny Cage out of the game as quickly as possible.
