So Awesome! But Endangered - Oh Crap!

These creatures are amazing and sadly endangered. I am especially fascinated by the Glass Frog (shown above), the Chinese Giant Salamander and the Giant Coconut Crab - they don't even look real! Oooh and the Mexican Walking Fish - so pink and cute!

Do you really want to know?

I've worked in food service and I've seen what can go on behind the swinging door. Now we can all see some stats (at least those of us near S.F.*).
Visit CleanScores.com if you really want to know what the Health Department found on it's last inspection of the restaurant you just ate at.
What a relief to see my favorite crepe place Ti Couz with a 97/100!
Too bad about the "inadequate hand washing" at Arinell's.

*Apparently this service will be available in most major metropolitan areas soon. Won't that be fun.

Note: This picture I found was titled "mouseloaf". That reminds me of my latest project which is collecting new and inventive derogatory names. Mouseloaf is perfect. Stay tuned for a comprehensive list.
Speaking of gross food; this is gross but in a different way.

Really Beautiful

I think these prints by illustrator T.Hanuka are incredible.

Yes

Gerhard (pictured above) is my personal favorite, however he placed 3rd in the Full Beard Freestyle category at the 2007 World Beard and Moustache Championships . Other categories include; Imperial Moustache, Sideburns Freestyle, Musketeer, and Hungarian. If you are not intrigued enough to click that link and see these men then something is pretty wrong.

Vital Stats

Oh my gosh Corey...I had no idea.

"Literally every gift I received for a five year span was Batman related. And in my 11 year old mind, every scrap of it was sure to be a collectors item. So my fortune grew. I was like some dragon atop my golden horde, relishing in every trading card or pencil topper I could get my greedy little hands on. Preserved in its protective blister packs it eventually was overlooked for more pressing concerns like girls. Eventually the whole lot of it was moved up to the attic where it remained until a few weeks ago."

My friend Corey is giving away his vast Batman Collection to the most worthy.

This is an incredible opportunity for....somebody!
