For Sale in October at Bonhams Auction House:

Elvis circa AD 150.*

The item is an ancient Roman marble “acroterion” - a decorative bust from a sarcophagus, tomb, or tombstone. It is expected to fetch £25,000 - £30,000 in the October auction.

*And this is the awesome pompadoured, sequined, lambchoped, fat Elvis.

Flavor Crystals 2.0

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Amazing are the photo galleries from The Molecular Expressions Team at Florida State University. This group analyzes various substances under powerful microscopes and then they post the gorgeous screenshots online. They detail all sorts of substances, but one cool gallery contains various types of alcohols and cocktails we drink on a weekly basis. Check these photos out and be sure to play with the interactive software microscope:

The Smell of Summer

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I occasionally wear Demeter “Suntan Lotion” fragrance.

It makes for great propaganda: the smell gives the impression that I’m a laid-back type of guy that spends a lot of time at the beach.

Here’s a list of good Summer smells available in fragrance, lotion, and soap form (by Demeter):

The Return of Hypercolor

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Many of us had those cool Hypercolor color-changing T-shirts and shorts in the early 90’s. Apparently Hypercolor is making a comeback.

Time for a whole new generation to learn why we all stopped wearing Hypercolor in the first place.

Hypercolor toilet seat (because Hypercolor is so very good at revealing ass).

Rejected Olympic Mascots

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Though China has five Olympic mascots (”The Fuwa”), several others never made it past the drawing board.

A Blogadilla exclusive: rejected Chinese Olympic mascots.

Maomao - Lil’ Mao Zedong.

Melmel - The Melamine Cat.

I take pleasure in knowing that I’d be shot for doing this if I lived in China.
