Just what was the purpose of dousing it with water?

First link has no mention regarding "24 out of the 56 signers of the declaration of independence had seminary degrees, and some of them were ministers."
The second link points out that I was correct that the statement is misleading. You are counting anyone that graduated from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton as having a "seminary degree".

I'm sure the avatars will change, but right now I'm just loving the dueling Jesii.

Who's the guy with the hat and glasses?

Not exactly a dictator, but my guess would be P. W. Botha, second last president of apartheid South Africa.

Yeah but surely "work" is much less of a stretch than "while".

I think, suprisingly, Olberman was the funniest in this clip.

Awe, that poor thing. Looks like they gave it peanut butter.


Yeah, wide eyes, ears back, fur raised, back arched; something is going on here.

Thanks. I was originally thinking of just an overlapping scale design but I realized the shape of the iphone was perfect for a trilobite. I just checked out the preview of that book on Amazon, there's definitely some cool critters in there.


In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
I really liked your entries in the sift art show : I particularly liked the trilobite. I've always liked trilobites, have you seen the book by Richard Fortey?.

Just wondering whatever became of the art show?

A magazine for people who like to get hammered? Try this.

And in related news - Linn State Technical College to close its doors, citing not enough tuition numbers.

Weird how unconcerned he seems about the flames.

That was a well done video. Though, I've always thought that illusion is not actually an illusion, but just a trick. It always relies on ignoring the fact that one tile is in shadow and the other is in light when you go to compare them. If you physically did move the tile as animated above, it would suddenly appear much lighter when it moves into sunlight, because that is how light works. They must have gone to some work to render it in 3D, and then not have that one tile be effected by the scene lighting.


I don't think they used any rendering. If you pause it at 0:58, you can see that her arm is equally lit where it should be in shadow and where it is in full light. I think it is done with the lighting that is coming in from offscreen in the bottom right corner to subtly illuminate the shadow of the cylinder.
Strangely, at 0:58 it's also more obvious that the two squares are the same shade.
