Crunch!

Nothing says "Crunch!" like Doritos.

I'm not sure that's legal.

Moonscape 360

Super-cool 360 degree panoramas from each Moon mission.
Now with soundtrack! Conversations between Houston and the astronauts.

Nice shack. Wicked 4x4. Satellite TV.
All we need now are some green moon-women.

Time Tunnel

You know, I had just fired up the wayback machine and was halfway to back to the 60's for a hippie sex holiday, when the power went out.
Just look what it did to my house!



Light at the end of the time tunnel

Aftermath of a Nuke

Uh-oh! something bad just happened!
Ok, it's actually a pic of an eclipse shadow on the earth.

That's one bad-looking burn-hole

Noooo!!!

Swarovski and NEC team up to make a bejewelled Hello Kitty laptop.
It's Evil! That's right, with a capital-E!
What kind of God would let this happen?

Arte Luise Kunsthotel

A hotel in Berlin where each room is designed and decorated by a different artist.

Here's the best one. It looks fake like a cartoon, but it's an actual photograph. It's real. It's just very clever paint.
Step into a comic book.

Here's the hotel:



and some other rooms:




Whoa, horsey!

Lucky Goldfish

Here's a new one: A combination deep fryer/goldfish bowl.

Oil and water doesn't mix, right? So stuff cooks on the hot oil on top, and the goldfish lives in the water underneath. As long as the fish doesn't go near the surface, everything's cool. Plus, it gets to eat all the crusty bits that fall to the bottom.

Sounds sketchy. I wonder what the realistic life expectancy of the goldfish is.

I need to relocate. This place is a dive.

Ant Condo

Scale model of an ant farm. Styley architecture.

They pour orthodontal slurry, or in some cases molten aluminum or zinc down the nest and then dig it out. Nasty!

The living quarters looks great,
but that parking garage goes way down there

My Generation

A bunch of outrageously old crusties called The Zimmers have covered The Who's My Generation. Singer dude is 90. One guy is actually 100. These people were old when it first came out.


Yup. As expected, it sucks really bad.

Here's the real one:


And an early one:


Now that's more like it.
