"One hundred and eight" -- slightly mesmerizing, but definitely must be considered art to be tolerated.

And, "25,000 Barrels", which is a crapload of barrels but has nothing to do with the BP oil spill.

Mila's Day Dreams is a blogster child for bored mommies who are into photography. Pretty amusing, though. I think this concept has also been successful on drunk college students. No chiefing the baby.
