Toast for the sick...

Updates have been slow here due to sickness of several contributors. So to stay in the spirit of things, here's a cartoon conveying our recent experiences...

Two people in bed hold up little cups filled with green liquid and say "Good nyquil!"

Mr. Veggie Head

Looks like a normal painting of a vegetable bowl at first sight. But when you turn it upside down, you might see more than just veggies!

The painting shows a bowl with vegetables, but when you turn it over you can see a face in it!

Want your drink cold?

This may have happened to you: you want your drink cold, FAST. So you put it in the freezer, only to forget it there. Usually, the result is a mess of sticky goo that you need to clean out. This time though, I was in for a pleasant surprise: no mess, and a quite interesting can to put here on the website!

The top surface of the can is folded out instead of folded in.
Frozen cans usually aren't this much fun!

I wonder what the chances of this happening are. I would guess pretty slim. So I suggest you don't try this at home, unless you like sticky messes. :-)

Footprint of bigfoot spotted

Photo shows an aerial view of an enormous footprint on the beach, about the size of 11 football fields.
Bigfoot on the beach?

This enormous footprint on the beach, about 11 football fields in size, is not a footprint of a mythical creature after all. Instead, it might be the footprint of you or me or any person in the developed world for that matter. It was plowed on the beach in Zeebrugge (Belgium) to give people an idea of their "ecological footprint". This is a representation of the earth surface needed per year for a person to eat, drink, warm their house, drive their car, dump their trash, etc. More info on this subject can be found on Wikipedia.

Whether this is an accurate estimate of our effect on the planet continues to be a matter of debate, but nobody can claim this publicity stunt didn't provide a neat picture.
