Alien lighting - Büro für Form
I love these. next also has other cool lights, none of which I think I can order in the US. :(
Now this explains the sudden surge in people. And they were all coming to my post on that other winged cat, mostly because the image from that post is the first one in the Google search results. Well, go me. :p
Now there's another one. Apparently he's too stressed out because he's a big ladies man. Poor guy.

I'm finding a lot of this X-Ray photography lately. I like a lot. :) There's an article on Nick Veasey over at Wired.
I'm not sure how I made it to an illustrious list that includes Make the Logo Bigger and Where's My Jetpack (and the Texan)... but there I am.
This time Joker asked me 20 questions.
And my blog being compared to Ripley's Believe It or Not! is awesome.
The Horned Skull:
During an archaeological dig in Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in the 1880s, a number of human skulls were unearthed. These skeletons were anatomically correct, except for the anomaly of their projections, two inches above the eyebrow, and the fact that their average height in life would have been around seven feet tall. The bones were sent to the American Investigating Museum in Philadelphia, where they were stolen - never to be seen again.
New post at CultCase about 5 mysterious skulls, very cool.
We have a cat with 4 ears, named Yoda. Maybe he can get with the cat with wings.

Why is she upset about this? I think it would be awesome, at least she doesn't turn everything to skittles.
Is that Ben Folds in the commercial???
I had a migraine last night so I didn't get to watch any of the Olympics. *pouts* And I obviously I missed Michael Phelps winning the ENTIRE Olympic games *winkwink*

Very cool.
From the About section on the BBC - Britain From Above site:
Britain looks very different from the skies. From a bird's eye view of the nation, its workings, cities, landscapes and peoples are revealed and re-discovered in new and extraordinary ways.
Cutting edge technology allows you to see through cloud cover, navigate the landscape and witness familiar sights as never seen before.

Oh, I'm making me and my sister some! Damn skippy. LOL.

If you haven't heard - they've apparently found a "bigfoot" body in Georgia. There've been blog posts about it for a while, but it didn't really get people's attention until they released photos yesterday/late last nightish. And it's either real or one of the most elaborate hoaxes ever.
UPDATE: Nevermind, move along. See, that's what happens if I post something before I get to read the new stuff - probably fake.
Also, on a related note: as usual some people think this is just a marketing stunt for a movie. Which brings me to an annoyance of mine. Do the people behind dumb, fake stunts kinda like this could be not realize that slowly people will not fall for any of their publicity stunts? "Faking" things isn't a good way to go "viral." Seems more like the boy-that-cried-wolf to me. Why not make it genuinely interesting and cool, oh and relevant instead of making the people that forwarded it feel like idiots? Besides the pay-off on these things is always a let-down. Ooh, cool faceless people = car site. Let down.
People don't believe advertising anyways. Most commercial breaks my sister is turning and looking at me going, "Really?? That's stupid!" Dumb stunts and fake personas and sites isn't going to help in the long run.
I'm feeling cynical today. It's days like today that I think I should go back and finish my teaching degree so I can make sure kids don't fall for this kind of stupidity.
UPDATE 2: One of these guys was on Fox News this morning. *rolls eyes*

Every 4 years I become incapable of doing anything else but watching the Olympics. I had a child-hood fantasy of being an Olympic swimmer.
I also wanted to do gymnastics but I gave up after the uneven bars in elementary school. That shit is HARD. :p Doesn't help that I can't even do a pull-up now.
I can usually ignore the announcers, I'm used to them. But I'd like to smack the woman who is the "side-line reporter" interviewing the swimmers after their matches. She asks the dumbest questions. Sorry. She was interviewing Natalie Coughlin the night before last about her drifting and insinuating how big of a problem it was going to be for her. Yeah, well she showed you, didn't she?
Also - I LOVE all the VISA Olympic commercials. You can't get a better combination of the Olympics and Morgan Freeman.
Oh, looks like the Equestrian events are on online. Later.
Oh, funny t-shirt.

We haven't had cute pics in a while. Here's some.
