Tassili N'Ajjer, a plateau in the Sahara, has thousands of curious rock paintings. More pictures here and here. Also a video. (Not worth it if you're on dial-up). Some of the pictures, it is argued, are evidence of a prehistoric psychoactive mushroom cult. Tassili is on the World Heritage List, but in spite of their isolation the paintings are becoming increasingly subject to vandalism and theft.

Pro-ana girls attack Museum of Hoaxes A forum post about whether a pro-anorexia websites are real attracts pro-ana kids to the fascinating Museum of Hoaxes, spawning six pages of uninformed debate, eating disorders, cutters crying for help, tirades on American cuisine, bad spelling, unpredictable capitalization, and at least one reference to Nazism. A fascinating glimpse into the very strange world of pro-ana subculture (some images NSFW). more inside

The Toymaker has some nifty, simple paper projects to print and assemble, like otters with wardrobe and dancing skeletons. Like the ghoulish? Maybe you could use a coffin box or perhaps a medieval helmet. For those with clear eyesight and a steady hand, try constructing New York landmarks like the Chrysler Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Take your pick. more inside

The "Jeff Gannon" story exploded on the blogosphere today. Link possibly NSFW, some links on page definitely NSFW. For those not in the know, see this earlier post. A man calling himself Jeff Gannon was asking softball questions at a Presidential press conference (full press conference here.) and at White House daily briefings for some time. Turns out the guy was (and perhaps still is) a male prostitute. more inside

Hieronymus Bosch's The Action Figures of Earthly Delights

Eerie and informative colour photos of WWI I have come across only a few colour images of WWI (sic). These images used the autochrome method. Developed by the Lumiere brothers, autochroming was the only industrial colour photography method available until 1935, when it was largely replaced by the system developed by Kodak. These pictures can completely change one's perception of the War. They are far different to the monochrome images of the trenches and the wounded that I am most familiar with.
