OBJECTS OF INTEREST

Proof of aliens? I think not.

I've put a thousand beers into fast food to-go cups for sipping on the mural sites. Under close scrutiny, I even used a straw.

^^B2^^

Find the curved line

Absolutely amazing. But did you notice the line of light gray dots where your periphery vision "put" the lines?

This transition is straight out of a Stephen King horror movie.

What happens when you use the wrong cutting technique...

That the same technique Jesus used to feed those 5 million blind lepers?

Brilliant. I wonder if he watched someone else do that or if he invented it himself.

I assume it is partially blinded by the light in its eyes.

What do you think could have caused him to topple so violently? A linebacker?

^^C3^^

^^C4^^

That reminds me of my toddler.

Did it bite those two fingers off?

^^C5^^

Do you think that is real metal or just a plastic replica?

^^C6^^

I try very hard to do that.

^^C7^^

"All I got are little boys." "We've got little girls."

^^C10^^


She's going to have a very rough night.

And there is bound to be someone in her house who keeps saying, "I told you to use sunblock" over and over again.

^^C11^^

Archaeologists discovered something quite strange during a dig in Ecuador.

A baby's skull is what you're looking at. Wearing another child's skull. This was discovered on the bodies of two children in burial sites near the tribe's home. The reason the children are wearing the skull has sparked speculation. Some believe it is part of the funeral ritual, rather than the fact that the children were dressed in skulls. The tribe resided in the shadow of a volcano. It may be part of a plan to give good omens to the volcano as it prepared to erupt or to alleviate some other form of natural calamity. Another theory is that it's all part of a plan to transport the bodies to the afterlife in the presence of a guardian. 

^^C12^^

We still use the term "hang up the phone".

Pallet knife kitsch

A friend of mine in college went to NYC upon graduation. To make money he worked in a painting factory. He developed his motif and used a pallet knife because it was fast, fast, fast. Then they would bring in dozens of canvases on a rolling rack and he would place them on a support rail that ran around the room. Then he would place the blues on his pallet and go from one canvas to the other painting the skies. Then he would do the tree trunks, etc. These can be called unique hand-painted works of "art" and sold in big box stores. He could knock out 20 pictures an hour and make enough money to support himself while he made real art.

That's a wolf eel (not a real eel), fingers are probably stuck into its gills.
