What was your very first cassette?
The cassette celebrates its 50th birthday this month!
As embarrassing as this may be to admit, It was probably either NKOTB’s Hangin’ Tough or Tiffany…ah, the 80’s.
Eery Abandoned Doll Factory, Spain
Hundreds of molds and casts are stacked against the walls, over tables and on shelves, making this huge abandoned doll factory an overwhelming space. Limbs, heads and bodies of unassembled dolls are strewn around the dilapidated building, making for a creepy and macabre atmosphere. The deserted factory has a haunting and overwhelmingly creepy feel on all three of its stories.
Furniture, masks and other odd items were also to be found among the doll limbs and bodies when the photographer explored the place, with the upper floors packed with discarded doll molds and pieces. There is something about seeing a discarded unassembled doll, with its head just a few inches from its body, quite unnerving.
Judging from the hundreds if not thousands of molds scattered about the factory, as well as the many packages full of valuable dolls’ limbs and hair, it must have closed quite rapidly. They certainly didn’t take the time to remove any of the factory’s contents. Overall, this abandoned doll factory is one of the most eery empty spaces around.

The first known globe to include the New World is engraved on an ostrich egg
WOW! SERIOUSLY!?! WHAT? AMAZING!An old egg and the New World
This globe shows North America. So far nothing remarkable. However, how about this: the globe is an engraved ostrich egg and is 500 years old. In fact, it was produced in 1504-1506, so likely still during Columbus’ life time (he died in 1506). Another remarkable fact related to this egg: it labels North America as “Mundus Novus,” the New World - a new and revolutionary designation when the egg was engraved. Check out the link above for more information about this fascinating artifact - Columbus’ egg, of sorts.
"Can I have some hot tea with my breakfast? I’m a little horse."
I know people think this is funny and/or shocking, but miniature horses actually make excellent seeing eye guides, and I think this is exactly what this little guy is, judging by the harness. They are smart, easily trained, have excellent eyesight with a huge field of view, their natural instincts aid them in finding safe paths, they can live more than twice as long as a dog so you don’t have to replace them as often, and, contrary to popular belief, they CAN be housebroken like a dog. The downside is that they are much more expensive, and need special care such as more space and a stable buddy at home.
Skeleton of a woman and foetus/baby who both died during the mother’s pregnancy
I just got added to the beta testers of a program called LazyNezumi, which helps smooth out line art when drawing digitally, it just kinda smooths out the jitters. The free version works fine, I’d used it before, and just went to the site today to check for a new version and saw that he’s looking for beta testers, and there you go. The beta of the Pro version is super nice so far, though I’ve barely used it at all really, and apparently there are still like 11 spots left for beta testers. so…. if you want a free copy to use…. http://people.happycoders.org/kamih/lazynezumi
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Killing Monsters Cinematic Trailer (by WitcherGame)
eee! can’t wait. I love the Witcher games.
David Tremary’s fantastic designs for a fictional Wonder Woman animated series. I love that it ranges from classic foes like Cheetah, Giganta, and Doctor Cyber to modern ones like Strife and Apollo.
What a fantastic spread!!! And one of the New 52 characters I love is Eros and his golden love guns. So yay!
(And I’m THRILLED when people include Tom in Diana’s supporting cast, who is my secret OTP for Diana… He’s kind of the Clint Barton of the DCU.)
I waaaaaaaaaannnnnttttt this shooooooooooowwwwwwwww!!!!!
