Eye Jewelry

Wide Web World icon

From a Reuters story:
"Dutch eye surgeons have implanted tiny pieces of jewelry called "JewelEye" in the mucous membrane of the eyes of six women and one man in cosmetic surgery pioneered by an ophthalmic surgery research and development institute in Rotterdam."

Yes, there's a photo with the story but I'm too lazy to copy it here. I'm generally not in favor of cosmetic body mods but this is a whole new category of wrongness.

The Electric Company Digital Archive has a whole bunch of mp3s and QuickTime movies from this wonderful children's show. I think I need to add "HEY YOU GUYS!!!" to the shuffle in my iTunes library.

War President

Wow, this is amazing. This photomosaic of President Bush is apparently comprised of the faces of all the American military personnel who have died in Iraq. The original creator of this picture didn't have the bandwidth to handle all the downloads, especially the larger versions (this is the smallest), but others have mirrored it and it's showing up lots of places (I saw it on boingboing who got it from Michael Moore who got it from the original guy, "Joe."

Thorax Cake

Thorax Cake This is really cool and gross; it's a cake made to look like guts. Actually it's many cakes, one for each organ, and each oozes a different colored & flavored sauce. The ribs are white chocolate!
