Get Cynical

Like Hot or Not but with turbans.

I noticed most Sikhs living outside India have a pretty boring turban life (they wear 1-2 colours and usually tie the same style turban as their fathers). I wanted to showcase turbans as an art form and try to revive the majestic roots of turbans. Furthermore, todays Sikhs are commonly confused for Muslims and I wanted to think of a creative way to showcase Sikhs and their royal turbans in a positive way to the general public, and also show Sikh youths that wearing a turban is cool and fashionable.

Plenty of pictures of students creating Donkey Kong out of post it notes on the windows of their engineering building.

Donkey Kong (Miyamoto, et. al.,1981) was the first appearance of the Itallian plumber we now know as Mario. While this game’s early ’80s arcade popularity predates most of today’s engineering students, it represents the amazing results that a small development team can produce. Today Donkey Kong is ranked as the 3rd most popular arcade game of all time, selling over 65,000 units.

Currently this work is visible at the E2 building at UCSC, it is scheduled to be removed on or before May 1.

From DiscoverMagazine.com:

The inside of your eye is one thing you’re guaranteed never to get a good look at. Even if you could, the pupil is far too small an aperture to allow you to see the entire interior. University of Michigan ophthalmologic photographer Richard Hackel compares the problem to taking a picture of a room through a keyhole. To overcome this hurdle, Hackel uses a computer program to stitch together images taken from 20 different angles by a special digital camera. The result is an unusual, fully detailed map of the inside of a healthy 26-year-old’s eye.

Wonderful!

Spookyland was kind enough to send in a gallery on his site of other vampire hunting kits.

Some vampire experts claim that kits such as the present lot were very common in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries among travelers to Eastern Europe, particularly the Carpathians, and could be requested from the concierge desk of their hotels. Others claim that the kits originated in twentieth century America and are nothing more than romantic curiosities.

Here’s an uncomfortable video that looks like it was taken by someone’s little brother. A teen is coming out to his catholic mom that he doesn’t believe in god anymore. She is a little less than enthusiastic about her son’s atheism.

Update:

Eel Feather’s the hero on this one. For those who didn’t get to see it before it was taken down:

BTW, I would be perfectly fine with my child if he or she came to me and said that they had found religion and didn’t accept atheism. It should be up to the parent to give the children as best of an education as possible and then let them make their own decisions on a theology. Religion should be an individual choice, not something that is forced.
