"Would you mind if I asked you a few questions about being a centaur?"
"Please, go ahead. Believe me I've heard them all."

Notes a commenter, "My favorite thing about this map is that the Lower East Side is labeled 'Ghetto'."

Pro-Lifer drives his car into a clinic that doesn't provide abortions [via]

"And the impact wasn't enough to cause a fire, so McMenemy had to pour more gas on the car...and once it was ablaze, he scratched his plan to kill himself when he realized it was going to be painful."

Designer Subway Stations

"Believe it or not the humble train/subway station is the new mecca for design. All over the world leading architects are transforming major subway/underground station platforms into aesthetically pleasing places for the people, many of them featuring original art works, all in the name of making the daily commute to work a little less dreary."

Armor of God PJ's [via too many places to name]

Amongst my friends, we have a jokey way of daring someone to do something. Someone will come up with some silly but insane dare and then follow the dare up with, "Give ya a dollar if ya do it." The amount has gone up as high as two dollars on one or two occasions when the dare is particularly wild, such as the "Remember the Alamo" challenge.

After seeing this site, I dared Josh to buy these and take them on the next Youth Retreat he goes on. He has to wear them around at night, carrying a Precious Moments Bible and talking about how he doesn't want to get married since he would have to leave his mommy. I have offered to go as high as one dollar and twenty-five cents for this dare. So far, he has refused.

want someone who respects me - 19 [NSFW for lang]

The w4m section (the Rooms & Shares section has it's moments, too) of Craigslist is an nearly endless source of entertainment for me. There is an all-capped sentence in this message that made me laugh for a good long while. Not because I think she is lying or anything, but because I think it is a funny way to introduce yourself to the world. The bathing suit picture, which is likely not her since it does not match her description of herself, and the engagement ring photo round off the nuttiness.

Photographer to the Tsar: Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii

"We know that Prokudin-Gorskii intended his photographic images to be viewed in color because he developed an ingenious photographic technique in order for these images to be captured in black and white on glass plate negatives, using red, green and blue filters. He then presented these images in color in slide lectures using a light-projection system [right] involving the same three filters."

Follow the links at the top of the article to get to some examples of Prokudin-Gorskii's early 20th century pre-color-photography color photography.
