As a regular Asylum reader, you'll be aware of what it is we do around here – namely, serving up odd news, weird gadgets, the best vids and more, but sometimes there isn't enough time in the day or room in our imaginary electronic pic-a-nic basket to give you guys what you deserve.

This is where the B-Sides come in. If we loved it but couldn't share it, this is where it ends up, each moment stamped with the B-Side seal of approval. So here are the ones that got away, for your clicking pleasure, after the jump.






Rat Tail Boy

We're praying he shaved it, took the photo, then carried on shaving. We're impressed, but for the love of God don't keep it that way.






World's Best Driving License

In an inspired piece of facial topiary, one man shaves half his facial hair off – exactly half – and submits it as his driver's licence photo. Bearded Two Face, we salute you.

Bored? Have some time to kill? Try to outsmart the world's greatest online encyclopedia in this surprisingly addictive quiz. See you back here in five.






Punch John and Edward In The Face

Care to punch Jedward in the face? Don't mind if we do, thanks. You can also whallop Simon Cowell one if you fancy, or even the guy who made it. Stress relief made easy.






The Best YouTube Experience Ever

We're not going to spoil this one by explaining it. Just click and enjoy.








Putin's awkward hip-hop battle


There's awkward, then there's Vladimir Putin at a charity hip-hop gig. He's distinctly not dancing. Or even moving. At all. Easily the most uncomfortable moment of the week.


Between Two Ferns


We're big fans of The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis (odd name, odd guy) and his Funny Or Die series of interviews. Here's his latest, involving US talk show host Conan O'Brien, and, um... some of American guys we weren't aware of. Still, watch it. Laugh. Go on.

117 Objects Balancing On A Lego Brick


Could you balance 117 different items on a Lego brick? We couldn't. Honestly, we tried. Once, admittedly, before getting bored and watching the clip again. Pointless, but ever so impressive.


And finally, our Weird News headlines. Ready with your bongs?

(Bong!) American cops taser a 10-year-old. Officially not cool.
(Bong!) Man cuts his hedge by dangling his ride-on lawnmower off a crane.
(Bong!) Man saves family from burning building, goes back for phone.
 (Bong!) Bacon-flavoured envelopes now available. Mmm... bacon.

More next week!
