Put on the HyperLip the next time you take a selfie and watch the likes pile up…not. It’s an unusual mouthpiece that forces the face of its wearer into a grimace. If you think only one kind of grimace exists, then think again, because these photos will prove you wrong. Who knew there could be so many ways to grimace–from smug and different to manic and just plain scary?
The HyperLip was created by French designer Sascha Nordmeyer back in 2009 as an art project. Now they’re back and are being used at the Olympus Photography Playground traveling exhibition, with the next event taking place in Cologne, Germany on September 11th to October 5th, 2014.
No need to fret if you can’t make it to Germany because the HyperLip will be sold soon by LA design company Artecnica.

People do some pretty dumb things, but this has to go down as one of the most idiotic moves I’ve heard of in a while. Apparently, a woman in New Zealand mixed up her lip cream with super glue.

The Otago Daily Times reports that a 64-year-old woman felt her lips were chapped in the middle of the night, when she rolled over to grab her lip gloss from the night stand. Instead, she reached for the super glue. Apparently, when she called 911 for help, she couldn’t even open her lips to speak, and managed only to grunt.
Eventually, she made it to the emergency room, where her lips were separated. I still can’t figure out why you’d have super glue on your bedside table, nor why you wouldn’t notice the chemical smell of the glue before applying it to your lips.
