Running with the pack

99 life-sized wolves on the wall
We humans are a social bunch. We have leaders, followers, and those with attention deficit. Sometimes however this does not serve us well. Behold some art that speaks to the dangers of running with the pack. Or as they say Nietzsche said it: "Insanity in individuals is something rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule."

"Pricasso"
Talented exhibitionist (named Willy?) paints portraits with his knob. They're not too bad, considering. Would you want one in your living room?

Quote of the Day
"Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it."
-- Gordon R. Dickson


Franks
And on a semi-related note, for those grown fat on the drippings of YouTube, there might be a hunger for the funny flash loops of yore. These aren't your father's ballpark dogs.

Cramped City Living
And finally, I'm sure it wouldn't surprise you to learn that a number of houses lay claim to being the narrowest in the world. Ambiguity aside (since it doesn't really matter), it's amazing to see the competitors. Seems like it would be a good stunt if Weight Watchers made one of these into its corporate headquarters.
