Superdickery shines light on a less well known fact which is that despite all his world saving and crime fighting prowess, Superman is a dick, especially to Lois Lane. None of these are photoshopped. All court admissible evidence.
And this one is my personal favorite.
O Zhang's series of photographs taken two months prior to the recent Beijing Olympics:
The images depict Chinese youth in front of various significant facades wearing T-shirts with phrases in what is often called "Chinglish"-Chinese that has either been poorly translated into English or an emerging new form of modified English that that can result in seemingly nonsensical expressions, but that also serves as a unique record of China's current cultural convergence and transformation.

Robert Mankoff's cartoon in The New Yorker made me guffaw.
According to a recent study, Manhattan is the thinnest county in New York State and significantly more skinny than the rest of the country. Proud Manhattan locals attributed their thinness primarily to the fact it's a walking heavy city, however it's also important to keep in mind that the "island’s poorest areas, like Harlem, have high rates of obesity and diabetes."
Still the fact that 42 percent of Manhattanites can be categorized as obese seems incredibly high until you consider that national average is 67 percent! The majority of this country is obese! Talk about being large and in charge!

New York Times has an interesting article today about a controversy between angry psychologists (They should seek help for that maybe...? No?) and "the overwhelming majority of Wikipedia’s users" over the availability of the ten original Rorschach test plates, first published in 1921, and each of their common responses online at Wikipedia. I think the psychologists are over reacting to information that is probably widely available for anyone that truly cares enough to "cheat" a Rorschach test. This debate aside, I've never actually seen all ten plates and I was struck by how enthralling they looked.

Funny rug concept that implies Max brought home a little skinned souvenier from his journey to where the wild things are.
At the RBC 2009 Canadian Open on Sunday Leif Olson banked this ridiculous hole-in-one. Guess that golf ball really wanted to get home. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cii-20NkhA&fmt=18]

Sebastian Martorana's "Ode to Ice Cream" is a misleading series of seven different "flavors" of ice cream carved from inedible materials such as marble, limestone, and alabaster among others.

Remember when emo was so cutting edge no one knew what it was? One magazine stepped into the confusing void and provided this helpful tutorial.
Every Friday I try to post over at Sundance Channel's blog SUNfiltered a round up of five music videos circulating around the Internet. I particularly liked Miles Fisher’s cover of "This Must Be The Place" (Originally by Talking Heads) which pays homage to our favorite fictional corporate sociopath.
