Winnie the Pooh was Wrong

Poplicks explains why the popular above sentiment is factually incorrect.

The Pooh quote is only sweet if the two people are born on the exact same day.

Thus, the sample picture in the frame is totally inappropriate. If the toddler in the picture were to say that quote to his mother and it became true, he would live to see his mother die and then survive off his inheritance for at least another decade.

The only appropriate picture would be one of twins.

The next issue to address is of course, Pooh's CRAZY addiction to honey.

Dogs in Clothes

This hilariously bizarre film from the 1930s combines two of my favorite things: dogs and drinking. Anyway, it's wayyy better than Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Seriously though, even if you don't like dogs and/or dranks, watch this: it's doggone funny. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II1BkpX03-M&fmt=18]

Daniel Newman's Celebrity Collage

An exhibit of his pieces just recently came to an end, but you can still view some of Daniel Newman's stuff at the gallery site.

Using photographs of noteworthy celebrities, some linked through history and others by his youthful ardor, Newman creates new characters from once-recognizable faces. His work forces us to decipher these faces in pieces – solving their puzzle of ambiguity by grouping together individual components. Depending on what one first sees, new portraits are created each time the work is viewed.

8-Bit Fatality

This artist channels his youth in the arcades and interest in the game Mortal Kombat into a commentary on video game violence with his (entertaining) 8-bit fatality project, which illustrates pixelated confrontations from classic video games in "a much more visceral, and gory way than could ever be shown with limited graphical systems."

Gwon Osang's Photographic Sculptures

Korean artist Gwon Osang's impressive evolving series of life sized sculptures pierced together from photographs: "After different parts of the model’s body were shot with the same light source, the film was developed and the prints pieced together to form a sculptural body (made without looking at the model)."

The Intern's First Entry

With an increasingly busy life I've had to hire an intern to help me maintain this blog by periodically posting some entries. I'm not a micro-manager, so I've given the intern wide latitude in terms of the content, so I can make no guarantees about the quality or appropriateness of what the intern decides to publish. Without further adieu, the intern's first entry is tennis related:
