Holy Mario! This is some truly disturbing mutilation. Some dude who takes classic gaming a little too seriously carved the old school Nintendo controller into his arm and then peeled the skin off to form the shapes. If you really want to see this, you can view it after the jump. - The Intern
A "quiet good-looking woman from the city of Tambov," Valeria K, 32, is on trial for sedating and raping ten local men. One of the men refused to press charges against her. He stated:
"It was great," the unnamed man said."I like hot women. I only wish she hadn't use the clonidine on me."
True.

Uber-designer Ji Lee (previously) pays homage to French artist Marcel Duchamp by re-introducing one of his iconic and seminal pieces, "Bicycle Wheel" for the modern ages.
On 3rd Avenue and Houston Street, New York
On 14th Street and 3rd Avenue, New York
And my personal favorite variation: In front of MoMA, 11 West 53rd Street, New York
An interesting reversal is also at work here: where Duchamp took objects found on the street, made slight adjustments to them and then displayed them in galleries and museums, here Ji Lee is doing the opposite. See what I pointed out there?
I will pretty much hangout with anyone who gets one of these bags designed by Hannah Havana of Garudio Studiage.

A list of last meals by history's infamous, notorious, and fictional. Some like Dennis Wayne Bagwell went all out (Medium rare steak with A1 Steak Sauce, fried chicken breasts and thighs, BBQ ribs, French fries, onion rings, bacon, scrambled eggs with onions, fried potatoes with onions, sliced tomatoes, salad with ranch dressing, two hamburgers, peach pie, milk, coffee, and iced tea with real sugar), while others like Adolf Eichmann (a bottle of dry light Israeli wine) kept their final meal light. What would your last meal be? [Via]
Boing Boing has a really interesting post on the natural phenomenon of firefly synchronicity. It's pretty awesome, although not quite as awesome as the movie "The Hangover." [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBgq-_NJCl0&fmt=18]

Also, check out my weekly Friday round up of five music videos circulating around the Internet that I find neat over at Sundance Channel's blog SUNfiltered.
A bunch of you have asked me when the next photo challenge will take place. The last one was a fun success IMHO. Lets roll with the punches that Mother Nature is raining down on us: this second photo challenge's theme is rain. The weather that is, not the Korean pop singer that Megan Fox wants to git wit. So take your camera and lets make this shitty weather look artsy!

I previously blogged this on point viral ad of a Hammer pants wearing flash mob synchronized dancing. Well, they've struck again and it's STILL amazing. Hey, T-Mobile, You've been SERVED. YOUR TURN. WHAT?

Relatedly, last spring I snapped a photo of this guy on the subway wearing some serious throwback Hammer pants.

Cast your discerning gaze onto the pricelessly terrible works on display at the entirely serious MoBA: Museum of Bad Art, "the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms."
