Shame on me

Modern-day Trojan Horse
I think it was George Santayana who said that, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." So just how naïve must the ancients have been to allow a wooden statue chock-full of Greeks to be parked in their city overnight. And yet...it seems we haven’t learned anything at all from history. Here to find out, an enterprising crew of dudes sets off with a horse of their own. Or as President Bush once said, "Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."

Duelity
Interesting-ish creative, playful and maybe slightly provocative reframing of creationism and evolution.

Sleevefaces
Check this blogpost showcasing the art of "one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of the body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion."

Alien Abduction Lamp
Too late for Christmas I’m afraid, but things like these are never out of season, right?

"Borderline pr0nographic" cat video
And finally...please have a look at this 30-second clip that was deemed unsuitable for a number of cat enthusiast forums(?). Entirely safe for work, in my opinion, although the catsploitation has to stop.
