Friday Ephemera

No corkscrew? No problem. Use a shoe. // What astronauts see. // Curtains made of slides. // Ant megalopolis. // Pulsate, a diversion. // Petri dish paintings. // Portraits by Tom Hoops. // Awkward family pet photos. // Wigs of note. // Crowd scene, Chicago 2010. // Critters of the deep. // David Horowitz on the one-party classroom. // The crushing tedium of Tarkovsky’s Solaris. // Escher in Lego. // 8-bit Gary. // Exploitation tat. // Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. // Bacterial fashion. // Bowerbird nests. // Attention Xbox users. // Tonight you’ll dream of cow spiders.
That shoe - wine bottle trick is simply the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Right, I now need to find a bottle of wine and an uncarpeted room...

The French take their wine very seriously. A lack of corkscrew was never going to stop them.

David, thanks for linking the Horowitz video. I've just ordered the book.

Love the curtains made of slides. Not sure about the bacteria dress though.
