Will Doig at The Daily Beast decided to do a little investigative research into the field of Zentai, a popular Japanese practice of "cocooning oneself head to toe in a skin-tight bodysuit." The type of bodysuit used by Charlie in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Some of Doig's subjects claim that Zentai brings them the comfort of feeling wrapped in a "full body security blanket." And who are we to judge?

Well, we're the Internet. And when people wear full-bodied suits showcasing bumps, nubs, nooks and crannies (and other things that look like grapes) without revealing their faces -- like an iPod commercial, but NSFAnyone -- the internet's core is shaken, not stirred. Urlesque, however, has chosen to merely report and let you decide.

And with that said, here are some smokin' hot vids of Zentai in full effect on YouTube (a public forum in which users knowingly upload material for all to see).

Color us stupid, but the English accent can sometimes throw us for a loop. Like, there are just some words that, when spoken in a lovely British lilt, make one sound like one has been caught mid-sentence while going to town on a jellybean casserole.

We love fish and chips just as much as the next Anglophile, but our brains are so racked by this commercial for Tudor Rose windows and flooring, we feel like there's something wrong with us. And Urlesque readers across the pond will likely wag their bloody fingers at me for this, but here's my question: is Tudor Rose supposed to sound like "Chew-dure Yoz"? WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?

(Also, good luck getting that jingle out of your head, by the way. Tudor Rose is the new Ke$ha!) (Or is it "Kay-zjha"?)

In a new on-going feature, we bring to you the most intense of epic battles... Puppy Versus ______. There's nothing in the world more energetic than a puppy, who will face off with just about anything.

We have to admit, it seems like the puppy doesn't exactly get the point of tetherball here. You have to get it all the way around the pole, but puppy is happy chasing the ball back and worth and back and forth. Maybe the tetherball is just too smart for the puppy. That said, if this video was a .gif we'd watch it forever.

Boat burning a hole in the driveway? Maybe it's time to replace it with a vehicle you'll use even less. Maybe it's time to replace it with a piece of history. Starting later this month at at Red Baron's Antiques in Atlanta, the world's oldest "roadable aircraft" will officially go up for sale. Designed by Frank Skroback in 1934, his flying car is more woulda-coulda-shoulda flying car than car that actually flies. But who knows? The blueprints and patents come with the car, and maybe your brilliant and analytical mind is just what this beast needs to finally get off the ground.

Steve Hildebrand, one of the top advisers who helped put President Obama in office, has a stark warning for his old friends at the White House and on Capitol Hill.

Simmering tension between the White House and U.S. Supreme Court spilled into public this week when Chief Justice John Roberts labeled the political atmosphere at this year's State of the Union address "very troubling."
