Now back to the 1970's kitch/porno/grindhouse shock posters

I love this one...the poster that is, movie I haven't seen.

Agave plant i.e where Tequila/Mescal comes from

I like Tequila a lot, quality Tequila that is, not the average bottle shop stuff. I also like Mescal, y'know the one with the worms, anyway here are a pic where both Tequila and Mescal come from: The Agave Parryi

1970's grindhouse flick - The Single Girls (poster)

We got a 70's feel going on at the moment. Grindhouse 'charm' with that trademark sexual/violence innuendos.

"...they got him hard"

Ricky Gervais drops a big shit on the A-list hollywood crowd

I love it.

My fucked up left ankle

Old sports injury going back 11yrs ago although I can walk fine, run, kick and make love.

Facebook Movie 2010

I will probably wait for this movie when it hits the $5.00 blueray bin, or ex rental bin.

Simply no interest in how a sweaty, awkward geeky guy becomes a billionaire by rewiring, by default, not design, millions of years of human interaction via a database. In the 21st century we have 100's of 'Friends' that we may never meet in person. A healthy sign? Well obviously not. You give a good dose of your personal details to a private entity for 1min of fame with very little satisfaction.

See it is curious that you could be added to Sandy a 25yr old female and model Facebook page, who turns out to be Stan a 45yr male cross dresser who wears his gimp outfit when he logs online to Facebook.

Pass.

Two galaxies fucking

(pic of galaxies fucking like no tomorrow)

ok ok I am a closet nerd...love this stuff though



Colliding Galaxies Make Love, Not War

"ScienceDaily (Oct. 18, 2006) — A new Hubble image of the Antennae galaxies is the sharpest yet of this merging pair of galaxies. As the two galaxies smash together, billions of stars are born, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. The brightest and most compact of these are called super star clusters.

The Universe is an all-action arena for some of the largest, most slowly evolving dramas known to mankind. A new picture taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the “best ever” view of the Antennae galaxies - seemingly a violent clash between a pair of once isolated galaxies, but in reality a fertile marriage. As the two galaxies interact, billions of stars are born, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. The brightest and most compact of these are called super star clusters.

The two spiral galaxies started to fuse together about 500 million years ago making the Antenna galaxies the nearest and youngest example of a pair of colliding galaxies. Nearly half of the faint objects in the Antennae are young clusters containing tens of thousands of stars. The orange blobs to the left and right of image centre are the two cores of the original galaxies and consist mainly of old stars criss-crossed by filaments of dark brown dust. The two galaxies are dotted with brilliant blue star-forming regions surrounded by pink hydrogen gas.

The image allows astronomers to better distinguish between the stars and super star clusters created in the collision of two spiral galaxies. The observations show that only about 10% of the newly formed super star clusters in the Antennae will live to see their ten millionth birthday. The vast majority of the super star clusters formed during this interaction will disperse, with the individual stars becoming part of the smooth background of the galaxy. It is however believed that about a hundred of the most massive clusters will survive to form regular globular clusters, similar to the globular clusters found in our own Milky Way galaxy.

The Antennae galaxies take their name from the long antenna-like “arms” extending far out from the nuclei of the two galaxies, best seen by ground-based telescopes. These “tidal tails” were formed during the initial encounter of the galaxies some 500 million years ago. They give us a preview of what may happen when our Milky Way galaxy likely collides with the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy about 6 billion years from now."

I can't wait!

New habitable planet found

I love stuff like this, makes you feel...humble.

from the Telegraph 29th Sept 2010

"Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable planet of similar size to Earth in orbit around a nearby star.

A team of planet hunters spotted the alien world circling a red dwarf star called Gliese 581, 20 light years away.

The planet is in the "Goldilocks zone" of space around a star where surface temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to form.

"Our findings offer a very compelling case for a potentially habitable planet," said Steven Vogt, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "The fact that we were able to detect this planet so quickly and so nearby tells us that planets like this must be really common."

If confirmed, the planet would be the most Earth-like that has ever been discovered in another solar system and the first strong contender for a habitable one."

Purple Diary Blog

I like Purple Magazine it's bible thick, nice and decadent with it's anti (anti?) fashion vibe, ego driven, sexual tantalization. A good coffee table mag. Olivier Zahm is the editor and he has his own blog, with contributory photos via Rachel Chandler a sexy girl that takes ok photos

The surreal is the real.

And Hollywood has run out of ideas?...

"Beware of bank patrons bearing bouquets.

Last Thursday morning, the police said, a man walked into the Bank of Smithtown branch at 127 Seventh Avenue near 18th Street in Chelsea. He was carrying a multicolor array of posies in cellophane wrap, fresh from the florist.

The man produced a note from inside the bouquet and handed it to the teller, the police said. It read, “Give me all your $100’s, 50’s, don’t be a hero.”

flower man 'bank robber': "don't be a hero" !!! hahahahahah...great stuff
