Beautiful Photo from Dragon*Con 2009

Flickr user pausetivespace took this amazing photo1 of her friends dressed as Merryweather, Princess Aurora and Fauna at at the Georgia Aquarium during Dragon*Con Night 2009. (She herself was, of course, dressed as Flora.)
You really have to click through and check out the larger sizes to see it in all its glory.

Flying Sharks in L.A.

Click for a horrifying photo sequence.
Surfline reports that white sharks are flying through the air, mere yards1 away from Sunset Blvd. They don’t explicitly mention pedestrian deaths, but, you know, be careful.
Note to self: never go to the beach again. Ever.

- OK, 300 yards, but still, yards! I expect to be miles away from the nearest shark at any given time, and here these flying monstrosities are only yards away from a road that any one of us could be driving on any moment! In a convertible! Wearing a meat hat! Oh come on. Like you never did that. ↩

Marilyn shrivels

This picture perfectly captures my impression of Marilyn. Not a bubble-headed sex pot, but a very human, very sad girl. I can’t help but see this Marilyn in every picture of her I’ve ever seen.

More proof of eminent invasion
by thatbaldguy on 21 Jan 2009 at 18:41:29, under photography
It turns out that photographer Blake Gordon has been collecting evidence of the impending alien invasion for years. He has a much more interesting cover story for his work:
“I captured defined patterns of light above the city when atmospheric conditions were right,” he explained in an email. This is part of a larger interest in seeing “the clouds as a surface.” For instance, Gordon mentioned that he had also produced “rough images from a plane flight in Minnesota where I saw the reverse: low winter clouds gave light pollution a medium to mark upon, and towns broadcast their cluster signals to those above.”
About these “broadcasts,” Gordon asks: “Some of them were so precise that it’s hard to conceive that they are just afterthoughts of a lighting design. Would it still be called light pollution?”
See there? They’re “broadcasts”. He knows what’s up.
Has more evidence at his gallery page.
