Badass Dad of the Day: “It has become a morning habit to sing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ on the way to school in the morning,” says Best Dad Ever. “Depending on traffic, we can usually start the song as we pull out of the driveway, and pull into the school just as the song ends.”

Craigslist Ad of the Day: Craigslist Seattle brings us the most over-the-top ad for a crappy used car EVER:

“Never in your life has a car made you so appealing to the opposite sex. I know what you’re asking yourself, ‘Am I man enough to handle a car this flawless?’ The short answer is no. I tried to be. I grew my beard to unreasonable lengths, trimmed my fingernails with [a] belt sander, ate nothing but lumber for 6 straight days and knocked a polar bear unconscious.”

Sadly, the ad has been flagged for removal.

Barbie IRL of the Day: After numerous surgeries, Valeria Lukyanova, a 21-year-old Ukranian, has finally achieved her dream of being plastic a real-life Barbie doll. Don’t miss her Facebook page and Tumblr full of creepy pics (sadly, no Ken sighting).

Inspirational Motivational of the Day: Philippe Croizon is a world class athlete who will swim between every continent in the world this summer. Croizon also lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 18 years ago. So how will he do it?

He uses homemade fins attached with stirrups to what’s left of his legs, and no prosthetics on his arms. He also uses a large snorkel to breathe.

Croizon’s adventure (follow him and donate here) will cover about 53 miles and total 45 hours of continuous swimming. The course will take him and a friend through waters inhabited by sharks, orca whales, and poisonous jellyfish, and water temperature varying from 80 degrees down to 0.

“I want to be the beacon of hope,” he said.
