I lost track of him for a couple days, not sure if he’s gonna make it.

Star Wars Characters in Paint Splatter Style

What do you get when you combine a self-proclaimed geek with comic book obsessions with a talented French graphic designer? Fortunately for us, we get a series of awesome Star Wars Character splatter paint creations by artist Arian Noveir. Formed digitally, all of the Star Wars characters that we know and love (or love to hate), including Darth Vaider, Yoda, C3PO, and Chewbacca, get just the right smattering of color around their basic shape revealing a unique portrait ready to hang on your wall.

Weird that Vader looks like he’s being shot, blood splatters and all.

“Monet’s Garden” at the New York Botanical Garden

After Monet died, his gardens and home at Giverny fell into disrepair despite the efforts of his family to keep them up. But in the late 1970s, the estate underwent a full restoration and is now a mecca for nature painters and tourists, who visit at a rate of 500,000 a year.

If you have never been there and do not plan a trip anytime soon, you might consider a jaunt to the Bronx to take in “Monet’s Garden” at the New York Botanical Garden for a taste of what you are missing. Organized by Paul Hayes Tucker, the Monet scholar, it is not a painting show, though it does include two representative garden-inspired Monet canvases.

I like flowers and shit.

The evolutionary biology of the unicorn.

Unicorns are great. Seriously.

And here I’m going to think out loud and think of them in a conventional biology sort of way. You know – have a little fun evolution wise.

In many respects (except for the magical powers bit) I don’t think this is necessarily too hard to do. i.e. you have something that looks like a horse, but hey what’s this – there’s also a horn there.

I guess the question I’m pondering is whether a unicorn could occur from a realistic evolutionary biology point of view – you know, given the right circumstances and the right timescale. And if so, exactly what sort of things, biologically and genetically, would need to happen?

Remember kids, “biology” is the topic, not fantasy-magical-whimsy.

Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?

Take last Sunday, for instance, when I casually struck up a conversation with this guy in the health-club locker room. Nothing fruity, just a couple of fellas talking about their workout routines while enjoying a nice hot shower. The guy looked like a real man’s man, too—big biceps, meaty thighs, thick neck. He didn’t seem the least bit gay. At least not until he started sucking my cock, that is.

Where does this queer get the nerve to suck my cock? Did I look gay to him? Was I wearing a pink feather boa without realizing it? I don’t recall the phrase, “Suck my cock” entering the conversation, and I don’t have a sign around my neck that reads, “Please, You Homosexuals, Suck My Cock.”

How can you NOT love this?

Met Museum’s Rooftop Transformed Into ‘Cloud City’

MANHATTAN — The rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been transformed into a “Cloud City.”

Argentine artist Tomas Saraceno’s eye-popping, site-specific installation — a large constellation of 16 interconnected modules, measuring 54 feet long and 28 feet high — will be accessible to museum visitors in limited numbers through Nov. 4. The piece was slated to open Tuesday, but remained closed because of the rain.

Museum-goers will be able to spend up to 20 minutes walking through the hive-like structure, with its transparent and reflective materials, to catch various perspectives of the city’s skyline amid the leafy expanse of Central Park.

No, not that Cloud City.
