Some cool examples of minerals or materials with amazing properties.
Crystals that melt in your hand, liquid that freezes as you pour it onto a surface, powders that explode when tickled with a feather...

Those are cool.

Unusual web site of illustrations from medieval manuscript margins. I don't know if it's legit. It looks like it is. Anyway those medieval illustrators has some weird ideas. Here are a couple.

I'm not going to embed medieval goatse. You'll have to click the link.

I think it's legit, as there have been articles about the practice from several websites this past winter. One showed a bunch of Hares hunting down a dog, bringing it to court for trial, hanging and burial, then another dog digging up and chewing the first dogs bones. All over the margins of several pages and rather gruesome.

The Daphne thing is an old Greek legend. Apollo, the horny fellow, was chasing her with sexual intent. She was about to be caught so she prayed to her father, Zeus, to save her, and he turned her into a tree. Insert "woody" joke here.

Renaissance artist Bernini (who TOTALLY should have had a Ninja Turtle named after him) did a #$%&ing brilliant sculpture of this. See https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...JaSiiAeO64DgBg
for some sample pics.

This is my favourite piece of art, evah.

Check the knothole for squirrels. ;)

Sometimes a painting or sculpture is so perfect it seems real and is therefore less interesting. This sculpture is absolutely perfect. I have a hard time not being bored by it. But it IS absolutely amazing.

Wired has a link to some abandoned websites.
