You're In Control (Urine Control) is something that grabbed my eye whilst browsing boing boing. Could make those wasted hours spent in the pub loo much more pleasurable.

 Extreme art. Meat hook artist leaves shopping crowds hanging. He has teflon implants in his back apparently. Also of note is the sheer glut of nudity in modern art stunts - everyones at it.

Ho, ho, ho. Those jolly marines have been up to no good again. I bet his family will feel a bit cheesed off with him after they did all of those TV interviews about how lucky he was. Marine's bullet-riddled helmet was a prank

Here are some illustrations from Michael Halbert, quite a lot in fact. They all have a very traditional feel to them, which usually isn't my cup of tea, but I do like some of the vector art he produces. Especially the WWII aeroplanes.

The word on the street in Japan. Pop Vox - What would you do if George W Bush were your boss? I particularly like this persons take on the subject, "I will be a dog for a certain period of time but when I get promoted, I will have him at my beck and call."

Much as I try to keep sex out of my blog, New Scientist has published a rather interesting article about the sex lives of worms near Chernobyl. Apparently they have stopped being asexual and are now happily turning their amorous intentions on other worms, all due to the effects of radiation.

Edinburgh artist covers his shop shutters with vivid naked portraits. He states, "I'm not embarrassed about it, it's more my real body I'm worried about." But local residents seem to have taken offence.

The price of freedom? Privacy International - Stupid Security. This is a site that has awarded various authorities for their totally OTT security measures. One winner, security staff for Delta airlines, forced a woman to drink her own bottles of breast milk because they feared they contained explosives.

I saw this advert on TV last night and was completely blown away. I was on the phone at the time and totally lost track of the conversation I was having as I saw the sequence unfold. Yeah, it might be inspired by the film "The Way Things Go", (ref source - Pixelsurgeon) but its still impressive. Go and watch the Honda Accord Ad and be amazed. The online version is a bit ropey due to it being over-compressed, but the TV version is simply stunning.

Local Bath news generally involves irate pensioners, illegal parking, or cats falling off walls, but this is something different. Apparently a local division of Marines that has been dispatched to Iraq includes someone who, until recently, spoke very little english. Spaniard in the thick of it. I believe he's the only Spaniard over there.

Typical of the UKs' Local councils to foul up something like this. Man waits year for a disabled bay - then loses it the next day. There's an unused bay in our road he can have. The original owner has since moved out.
