Formalin Preserved Animals

July 2nd 2009 11:38
I do warn in advance that these might not be for everyone. These are older preserved animals and while it sux that these animals died, for me I find them a majestic and beautiful piece of historic art.

In the preservation of animal specimens for study, animals are usually preserved using formalin where the whole body would be immersed in the posture in which it is supposed to stay permanently because it will be hardened.

How to Mess Young Kids Up

It's simple - just buy them some of these Brutal Soft Toys.

It is very hard to find any info on the artist - all I can find is the photos - sorry about that. If you are the maker, artist or photographer please let me know so I can credit you.

I think they make amazing art and would love the unicorn in my house

A friend emailed me this hysterical YouTube video about Darth Vader having a tantrum in the canteen on the Death Star.

From what info I can gether it is an Eddie Izzard comedy skit - I thought it was Ricky Gervais but I was mistaken. I laughed my head off and am now hanging with Mike The Headless Chicken

Warning: This contains a few words of colorful language.

Mike, The Headless Chicken

June 28th 2009 02:33
Mike the Headless Chicken (April 1945 – March 1947), also known as Miracle Mike, was a Wyandotte rooster that lived for 18 months after its head had been cut off. Thought by many to be a hoax, the bird was taken by its owner to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to establish its authenticity.

The Natural Art of Antarctica

June 28th 2009 02:17
People that know me well know it's my unusal passion to holiday in Antarctica. The holiday I have selected costs only $60000US and I will probably retire with my super to do this holiday. Although in 30yrs I just hope it's all still there. My holiday of choice includes 6months circumnavigating this beautiful continent and doing it on a fully loaded leisure/ research vessel. You get to visit onland every amazing place with history, spend times with penguins and participate in iceberg swimming contests in wetsuits so think and bouyant it looks like an unmoving michellen man bobbing amongst frozen wetelands. You also have the opportunity to attend daily lectures on Antarctica or just plain stare in awe from luxury onboard comfort. I can seriously think of nothing more pure and amazing that I would like to add to my life story.

Four years ago I went to a music festival with a friend for a weekend. We both went and saw different psychics while on the Island for the festival and quite a few things this lady said to me have come true.

The World's 5 Deadliest Creatures

June 21st 2009 03:43
And we are the lucky country of the world - we have an amazing four of them all found in or around Australia. Most of these animals will leave you with no chance for survival unless you are basically carrying the antidote with you. And most of them do not have an antidote.
