Crazy Haircuts

Next time you are in need of a cut:

Magic Eye

Believe it or not, the image below is one of those "magic eye" images. If you manage to see it, you'll get a funny little joke inside.

In case you have no idea what a magic eye image is: stare at the image as if you are looking through it. Try to bring the distinct images each of your eyes is picking up together to form a single image.

GIANT Discovery

In the northern region of India, in a region called the Empty Quarter, a National Geographic Team (India Division), with the support of the Indian Army, uncovered the skeletal remains of a giant human.

More photos here.

The exploration team also found tablets with inscriptions describing a Godlike race of people of phenomenal size created to bring order among us since we were always fighting with each other.

One other note: this image was an entry in a Photoshop contest at Worth1000.com. It was created by altering an actual photo of a Cornell University excavation of a mastodon skeleton.

But it would be great if it were true, wouldn't it? Here is the link to the entry at worth1000.

Don't Sit Here

Did you know there is a war on sitting? Neither did I. Who could possibly care about this?

Well, if this site is any indication, a lot of people. There are literally hundreds of examples of sitter-unfriendly structures there. If you don't want to wait hours for your page to load, some highlights are below. Click to view full size:

Danica McKellar - Cute AND Smart

Remember Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years? Turns out that as us nerds grew up, so did she... into a nerd. But a hot nerd.

And even better, she has a B.S. in Mathematics from UCLA. I have a B.S. in Mathematics from UCSB -- wonder if I have an in? Ha. Probably not. As a kid growing up watching the show, I don't have to tell you I had a boy crush on Winnie Cooper.

Here she is now:



I actually brushed by her a few years ago outside a restaurant in Santa Monica. I can confirm she was quite stunning.

And she writes, too:



Ok, so she's kind of playing up the girlie thing, but who cares. She's cute, she's smart... she's my woman of the day today.

HOT Fashion Show

And I mean that literally. How did they get these models to go along with this?

Be Careful Who You Anger

Wee wunt 2 gradjuat

In Fort Worth, 613 seniors did not pass the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) exam. Consequently, they won't be graduating. About a dozen students decided to protest the fact that non-graduating seniors will not be allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony. I don't know what to say to this except what...

Ok, so the story itself isn't that interesting, but there are two things here that you will get a kick out of. First, this quote from the story:

Crystal Martinez complained that while she finished at the top of her class with a 3.5 grade point average, she is now blocked from graduation by failing the TAKS test.

3.5 is the "top of her class"? And how do you get a 3.5 GPA and fail a basic skills test?

And here is the capper. A photo from the protest. Read carefully what is written on the sign.

The Stuff of Nightmares

Prepare to be horrified. These are the ghastliest things I have ever seen.

I don't know what these are or where they came from -- if someone knows, please leave a comment.











Sweet dreams!
