I would have missed it, if Logan Adams hadn’t posted about it, but today marks the 23rd anniversary of the Challenger disaster, which killed seven people. I don’t remember it; I was too young. (I do remember the Columbia, but not the circumstances I heard it; just the shock.)
I just watched it on YouTube. One minute they’re talking about how the engines are running fine and the crowd is cheering, and the next, shuttle pieces, on fire, were hurtling in several different directions.
Honestly, I’m not even sure why I bookmark these types of things. But for those of you who like to be creeped out, here we go.
These cars are filled to the brim and overflowing with garbage. Garbage inside. Garbage on top. Garbage garbage garbage. They fill me with claustrophobia and make me want to clean my apartment.
…nah.
I don’t know why I find this artist’s work creepy, but I do. The picture to the left ("Corrupted Mother") comes from this online gallery of Gail Potocki. Something deeply unsettling there…
I’m sorry, but yes, there is such a thing as too many tattoos.
And for the extremely morbid, there is Morbid Anatomy, which is chock full of pictures of dead things preserved for science.
Note that I didn’t look too closely at this because I found it disturbing, even though we had tons of dead things just like this in my biology classroom in high school. I guess I didn’t spend a lot of time dwelling on them either.
This is where I get away from the creepy wagon, folks, ’cause I can’t take too much of this kind of thing.
For those of you who aren’t into morbid and creepy things:
(And to continue the online tradition of the "unicorn chaser"…)
For a good laugh, try this link and get a load of what this lady did to her poodle. She groomed it. She groomed it into a peacock, a camel and a ninja turtle.
I feel very sorry for this poodle, but I’m pretty sure it gets room and board and affection and doggie treats out of the deal.
