Britney Spears gets birthing monument
‘The fine folks in New York have completely lost their minds and given Britney Spears her own Pro-Life monument at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg gallery district. The life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears’ baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. Gallery co-director Lincoln Capla says, “A superstar at Britney’s young age having a child is rare in today’s celebrity culture. This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision.”‘
This is fucken funny. My girlfriend wonders what it looks like from behind. I kinda wonder the same, but I think I’d rather keep wondering than actually know.

Astrophoto: The Planet Jupiter by Mike Salway
`Thirty years ago the clearest views of the planet Jupiter could only be obtained from multi-million dollar robotic space probes, like the twin Voyager missions sent to survey the outer planets. As recently as five years ago, the atmosphere still hopelessly blurred views of Jupiter, or any other planet, seen from the surface of the Earth through telescopes. All of that has changed thanks to the digital revolution in photography. Now, people with the interest, a modest telescope and a common web camera can learn to take planetary portraits that rival some the best from NASA.’
Wind Shears Nine Stories of Lagos Landmark
`Heavy winds ripped away much of the top nine floors of a fire-weakened Nigerian building early Wednesday, raining debris on mostly empty streets and leaving people on lower floors waving frantically for help.
The 21-story Nigerian Industrial Development Bank had already been heavily structurally damaged by the blaze Monday, which gutted the 10th and 11th floors.
Wednesday’s winds during a heavy downpour shredded large portions of floors 13 through 21, with much of the debris crashing to the streets about 8 a.m., said Segun Ade, a guard at a nearby building.
Late Wednesday morning, a few people could be seen on the bottom floors, waving for help.’

Head of State
I might have already posted this. Can’t remember. Still, vaguely amusing and worth another quick look. 🙂
Who’s your granddaddy
‘A 75-year-old grandfather has become the newest star of Russia’s growing porn industry, after wandering on to a film set by mistake, thinking it was a muscle man show.
David Bozdoganov has since starred in the films The Old Neighbour and Handyman at Work.
Director Alexander Plahov said: “We were auditioning for a new film and had a number of couples on stage simulating sex when I saw an old guy standing at the back.
“I wandered over to ask him to leave when I saw this massive package straining against his trousers. [..]”‘
Also, lemons.

Hoax Photo Test
`Test your pop culture literacy by trying to guess which are the hoax photos (i.e. those that have been manipulated in some way) and which are real.
For each image, click either HOAX or REAL to begin scoring the test. When you’re done, click the box at the bottom of the page to see your score.’
I got 10 out of 10 for the first test, didn’t do the others because I’m lazy. Can’t fool me. 🙂

David Gilmour’s Birthday Party Photos
If you don’t know who David Gilmour is you won’t care about these pictures. If you do know who David Gilmour is you still probably won’t care. I barely care. Don’t really know why I’m posting them at all. 🙂
Red Rain Proof of Extraterrestrial Life?
`I am pretty convinced now that life exists outside the Earth. At the very least, there is an exotic type of life on earth of which we have been totally unware until now. The pictures of the “red rain” particles have convinced me. Scroll down to ogle them.
The best article so far on the the “red rain” phenomenon is in New Scientist. The Observer had a decent article too. An Indian scientist, Dr. Godfrey Louis, thinks the red particles found in the rain are the remnants of a meteorite that exploded. He further thinks that they might be extraterrestrial life forms.
The New Scientist article linked to his full-length paper that is to appear in the peer-reviewed journal Astrophysics and Space Science. Intrigued, I took a look at his paper. It is surprisingly readable considering it’s meant for a journal.
The paper has lots of very interesting photos (New Scientist published one — the only pic in the paper that was in color). I have cut-n-pasted the photos from the paper below. They are pretty amazing and deserve wide exposure.’
followup to Red rain could prove that aliens have landed.
Is Jon a scumbag?
`Everyone seemed to enjoy the Garfield cartoons I posted, featuring the removal of Garfield’s speech ballons, which turns Jon into a sad and lonely individual talking to a normal cat. So, here’s some more, chronicling Jon’s spiral into depression and eventually madness. It’s what Jim Davis wanted.’

Cat stomped to death in film draws outrage
`Cyber sadists have figured out a way to profit from cruelty to small creatures, and animal rights activists say it’s high time China enacts tough laws to stamp out such abuse.
Several Websites have cropped up recently offering videos and still photos of dogs, cats, rabbits and toads being stomped to death by a sexy woman wearing stockings and high heels.
These images are usually linked with more typical sadomasochistic fare consisting of a female in stiletto heels tramping on the chest of a man. [..]
Animal “snuff” videos were posted on these sites for sale at 15 yuan (US$1.87) each. There were bulletin boards for fetish fans, who could even join a group called the International Crushing Association.’
with video stills that aren’t likely to be safe for work.

david bowie… COMICS?!
`My boyfriend inherited a stupidly huge collection of comic books, and mixed in with all the X-Men and Superman, we found something truly bizarre. I don’t know how this was made, how its makers got permission, or how it got in there. And I’m posting Very Big Photos of this so you can read every bit of Very Brain-Numbing Text.
So let’s take a whirlwind ride along with Ziggy Stardust in his latest comic-book adventure…. [..]
I don’t know what’s with the bad grammar, and I don’t know why the second face from top looks like the evil chick from Ghostbusters. Here we learn that David flies around the galaxy defeating badness. But he does it as his alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, who is very real to everyone except Bowie who has no idea this all is happening.’
Oh, If Only They Wore Cups In Basketball
`If you’re one of the lucky ones who opened your morning Bryan-College Station Eagle on Thursday and found a large penis staring back at you, well, congratulations. No, it wasn’t one of the paper’s newer promotions (find the wiener, win a Mexican cruise!), just a goof by an editor who didn’t scrutinize the photo quite closely enough.
That’s Texas guard Daniel Gibson trying to guard Texas A&M’s Acie Law during their game on Wednesday — and either it was a very good fake by Law, or Gibson just doesn’t believe in the tyranny of underwear. Or both.’

Guess how old people are from a photo.
I guessed some topless 52 year old woman was 30 and now I feel awful. 🙂
