Van Gogh Cake

Impressive. Though admittedly I’m a sucker for dessert before fine art. Vincent Willem van was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art as a result of its vivid colors and emotional impact. Suffering from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, he died largely unknown at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Van Gogh’s interest in art started at an early age. He began to draw as a child, and he continued making drawings throughout the years leading to his decision to become an artist. He did not begin painting until his late twenties, completing many of his best-known works during his last two years. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,000 artworks, consisting of around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches. His work included self portraits, landscapes, portraits and paintings of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers.

Does This Guy Look Like His Dog?

The domestic dog is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term is used for both feral and pet varieties. The dog may have been the first animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and companion animal in human history. The word “dog” may also mean the male of a canine species, as opposed to the word “bitch” for the female of the species. Dogs were domesticated from gray wolves about 15,000 years ago. They must have been very valuable to early human settlements, for they quickly became ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname “Man’s Best Friend” in the western world. In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.

This is so cool. Why does Paris get all the cool illusions? An optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type , and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences.

Seems like a logical step. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American pop singer-songwriter. After performing in the rock music scene of New York City’s Lower East Side in 2003 and later enrolling at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, she soon signed with Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. During her early time at Interscope, she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists and captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who recognized her vocal abilities, and signed her to his own label, Kon Live Distribution.

American daredevil Jonathan Trappe took these stunning images as he flew a cluster of balloon 18,000 feet above Mexico. The adventurer, who made history by floating over the English Channel dangling from balloons in May, did his latest stunt to celebrate the Mexican bicentennial. He took off in the craft made up of the Mexican flag colours while at the Festival International Del Globo 2010 earlier this month. Trappe, 37, controlled his altitude by releasing air in his durbable high performance balloons, reaching speeds of 18-50 mph. Jonathan and his ten ground support crew travelled an astonishing 100 miles from Leon to Colorado in Mexico. He captured these stunning images from a balloon-mounted camera as he made the journey. Dressed in protective sunglasses and a pair of bluejeans, Trappe called the journey ‘outstanding’ and said he was ‘wonderfully inspired’ by his trip.

Five Perverted, Gross, and Bizarre Halloween Candies

ivana — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 19:25:57 +0000

Halloween is coming up, which means one thing: a prime opportunity to steal candy from children, er, send your kids (or your friends’ kids) trick or treating. Most likely, they’ll return with the “treat” part of the equation, but occasionally things go wrong. Like if they return with one of these.

1. Camel Balls

No, this isn’t a humiliating term aimed at skinny jean-wearing males. It’s a bubblegum that oozes “extra sour” liquid upon mastication. Hey, at least this camel isn’t peddling cigarettes.

2. Collagen Marshmallows

These collagen-infused edible sponges are adorned with a severe warning label, and promise to give you wrinkle-free skin. That, or kill you. We always knew Hello Kitty was evil.

3. Gummy Poo

Unchi-kun, or Mr. Poop, is a beloved Japanese anime character. He’s the inspiration behind all sorts of branded merchandise, including this poo-shaped brown gummy candy. Quite adorable, but does it taste like shit

4. Bacon Gum

Minty breath is overrated. Who wants to make out with a tube of toothpaste when they can devour some hot, sizzling bacon?

5. Spaghetti Worms with Sauce

We don’t know what’s more off-putting — the concept of spicy gummy “spaghetti” with an accompanying tamarind-flavored “sauce,” or the fact that the candy’s spokesperson is a worm named Lucas. Worms, spaghetti, candy…yum.
