Usually I'm a little wary of 3d rendered images (mostly because they tend to date very fast) but this image by Tong Young Kwon is a very impressive example of good 3D work. Click on Johns face for an .avi however my mac just won't read it. Hop over to 3Dring.org for a close-up still of Mr. Travolta. Its a reworking of his character in Swordfish.

I don't believe it! 'Ock, where's my car?' | Metafilter
I love all the "In the US thats normal" and "The UK is cute" posts and counterposts in this Metafilter story. Victor Meldrew should post a comment (if you're from the states you won't know who he is).

Americans were mad for it in the fifties - PAINT BY NUMBERS. In this Smithsonian site you can find a copy of a completed work by J. Edgar Hoover. Where did he find the time? "You say JFK is up to his tricks again? Hold on, I'll be right with you - I've just got the threes to finish off!" Right.

In a bid to shake off the "Northerners don't appreciate Art" tag foisted upon them by Brian Sewell, Gateshead's Baltic Art Centre will hold an exhibition in which 240 people will have plastercastes made of them. Sculptor Gormley seeks nudes The plan is to wrap each participant in cling film whilst nude then take castes of different portions of their body. A bus load of Tory backbenchers are alleged to be keen to take part, but only if oranges can be used.

Imagination at Work! Now this is what the internet is really for. Draw stupid images and send them to your mates. They will be infinitely amused at your amazing artistic skills and send you emails saying something like "Get a life". I'm going to draw another image. I'll do it on graph paper. Then I'll send it you - I will. *dribble*

I haven't posted a 'Carlton' google link for a while so here goes. The Carlton Club Obviously I have an honoury membership for this place but I seem to have mislaid it. I've always been known as a supporter of the Conservative Party, especially now that they have such an interesting leader in the form of Iain Duncan-Smith. Margeret Thatcher did such a sterling job in the eighties, don't you think?
*"Er, no!!!!" I hear you cry.*
Agreed. Tw*ts (not you, but the Tories, dear chap).
