Friday Ephemera

Baby, toys and time-lapse. // A year in photographs: 1, 2, 3. // Age your photos. // Zoom into this 1,474 megapixel image. (h/t, TDK) // Leap between buildings on Google Earth. // It’s a rainbow, or a cloud with a tractor beam. // Your very own Louis Vuitton caviar case. // How bacon is made. // Unfeasible teapot. // Fun with centrifuges. // Red square, a game. (h/t, Tim) // The perils of electrocution. (h/t, Things) // The scourge of cello scrotum. (h/t, Ephemeral Zed) // The Brain That Wouldn’t Die. (1962) // The eyeballing game. // Jazzmutant. More. (h/t, Coudal) // TV science fiction from the Seventies. // Asian film posters. // Alan Moore, avert your eyes. // And, via The Thin Man, it’s Mr Henry Mancini.
The time lapse baby is lovely.

The Watchmen costumes hurt my eyes. Are they the 'deluxe' or 'economy' versions? :)

When the “deluxe” costume costs $40, as opposed to the $13 “economy” version, it’s going to be hard to tell. I thought you might be tempted by the Silk Spectre wig.

If they'd done the boots...

Maybe if it was a vari-speed wig and had its own slow motion generator, like in the trailer. You’d definitely want one then. We’d all want one then.

I've wasted 15 minutes of my life on the red square game.
All right, just one more go.

Rob,
The tray of sponge fancies sent it over the line into the realm of ultrakitsch™.

Is the 'rainbow' your final test, or the proof of concept for your latest weapon? Now we can all go out in pretty colors.

It’s a stealth feature.
“Look, children - it’s so colourful and fluff…” BBBZZZTTT!!

The Watchmen costumes are hilarious. Can't wait for halloween when the local kids put them on and knock on Alan Moore's front door.

32.172 seconds on the Red Square game. Followed by a victory bacon slice. Mmmmmm, bacon.

“Can’t wait for halloween when the local kids put them on and knock on Alan Moore’s front door.”
The bellowing will be heard far beyond Northampton.
