Funny test answers

When you just don’t know the answer, it helps to be creative (and a bit of a smartass).

The Hello Experiment

May 30, 2009

Remember that cheesy video for the Lionel Richie song “Hello”?  You know, the one where Lionel falls for a blind art student and stalks her for most of the video until she sculpts a clay bust of him.  This video shows what happens when you take art students, blindfold them, and ask them to sculpt Lionel Richie’s face while “Hello” is playing.

Tiny Art Director

May 23, 2009

An artist paints the whims and visions – often a little twisted and involving reptiles — of his 4-year old daughter, and she’s not shy about letting dad know when he fails to capture a scene as she has envisioned, e.g.:

The Critique: What’s he going to do to that bird? Is he going to eat him? That’s not what I want. You have to do it with him killing that bird.

Additional Comments: Killing Daddy killing! Can you do it killing him?

Trashy neighborhood

May 21, 2009

The path of refuse below is not a rubbish-strewn road, but rather a floating mess that has choked a creek in an impoverished section of Manila, Philippines.  See more trashy pics at Deputy Dog.

Don’t miss the good part at the movies anymore — check RunPee

May 20, 2009

RunPee gives the lowdown on the best times to get up and pee during a movie.  Apparently I timed it right for Star Trek.  Yay!  The site could definitely come in handy for those longer flicks.  The only problem I see is if it becomes really popular and everyone hits the theater head at the same time.  Not good.
