Stars

Of the pictures I took of Stars, these were my favourites.
I wish I had a better camera.

Mysterious Meat Messages

I went to open what I thought was an ordinary package of sausages:


...when I noticed something particularly odd:


Ring on meat department?
Jeremy had a similar experience with a package of pork chops some time ago:


What does it all mean?!
...other than they both come from Loeb, 754 Boink Street, postal code K1SH3V6, via the Ring on Meat Department...

.....

This Made Me Laugh

Berlin, 1936.






















Moscow, 1980.

Suethopolis



















This is an image of Seuthopolis, an ancient city at the bottom of a lake in Bulgaria. It was the city of Thracian king Seuthus the Third.
In 1954 the city disappeared under 20 meters of water.
People have now decided to excavate Seuthopolis by constructing a circular dike around the city. This is way too fucking cool.

Here are some images of the project:






























































More on Seuthopolis.

Hey!

This video is a riot! Craig Norris played this song on CBC Radio 3's the R3-30 today. It's by a Montreal band called "The Gruesomes" from the 1980's.
The Gruesomes - Hey


Hey!

Prohibited!

Some splendid photographs and ephemera!
These are all from Canada's archives.

I love the incredible sense of nationalism that exists in this poster. Ale, Sir John A., Upper and Lower Canada! I bet Sir John didn't remember having his portrait done for this...























This man is carrying a keg o' beer across the street during prohibition. Poor chap, all he wants is a keg of beer to drink after his twelve hour work day. I really sympathize with that.














This man is getting arrested for the ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL! Quick! Run home kids!
My drinking hat goes off to you if you can locate where this man's head is....
















Cheers,
Kaelan.

The First!

Greetings,

I've decided to create a blog so that something productive (?) will occupy the time between reading, studying, working, sleeping, and possibly making a small fort.

Here are 5 of the 7 "Best Wild Animal Photos of 2008" announced by National Geographic. The last one is my favourite.






Cheers,
Kaelan.
