Gordos, a popular restaurant in Holon, Israel, has been getting a lot of attention because of its latest dessert: a real toilet bowl full of chocolate ice cream. No matter how much you might like ice cream, the controversial dessert available at Gordos named, "Third House of Shit", is still remarkably off-putting. With the smeared toilet bowl and the way the chocolate ice cream is shaped like turds, it's definitely not the most appetizing dessert you've ever seen.
It's unclear whether Gordos was going hard for controversy, or if the brilliant minds that came up with the name "Third House Shit" were trying to be edgy, but one thing is for sure - they made a lot of people angry. Judging by the comments on the restaurant's viral Instagram post about the dessert, people care less about the disgusting look of it and more about the name.
In case you're not familiar with the Jewish religion, the Third House or Third Temple is a very important concept that refers to a hypothetical rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. To make a mockery of it for attention didn't sit well with a lot of people, and many voiced their disapproval in the comments. "Shocking. Such a lack of respect for the religious side that makes up more than 50 per cent of the country's population," one person wrote.

"You are probably on the verge of bankruptcy if you decided to shock everyone with such a perverse idea," someone else commented. The concept of ice cream served in a miniature toilet bowl has been done before, but Gordos is the first eatery to truly strive for realism.
The oldest recorded goldfish was 43 years old, and was so ancient that his scales started turning silver
The average lifespan of a common goldfish is 10-15 years, but the current Guinness Record for the oldest goldfish ever was set by a male goldfish named Tish that remarkably reached the age of 43.
He spent his life in a fish bowl in North Yorkshire, UK, under the care of a woman named Hilda Hand, and her son Peter who won the fish at a fair. No one really expected Tish to reach his 40s, considering that most goldfish barely make it past a decade, but somehow he did.
"He has had a healthy diet and has always enjoyed a peaceful place to live," Hilda Hand told the Daily Express in 1998. Hilda claimed that Tish's colour had shifted from gold to silver in his later years, sort of like the hair of mammals turns white as they get old. Tish passed away on August 6 1999, but remains the oldest goldfish in recorded history, 24 years later.

Usually, when your child gets head lice, you try every method to kill them, ASAP. But one Aussie mom has taken the opposite approach - she doesn't want to harm the nits at all. According to a concerned parent who wrote in an advice column, her neighbour won't treat her daughter's lice because she's vegan, and vegans don't kill living things.
