Here’s some amusing images that passed across my feed/email in the past couple of days: This first one is what one of M.C. Escher’s paintings may have looked like if done in primary school, complete with Teacher comments. 
The next two came from Limbic Nutrition, and made me smile. 
I toyed with writing a piece about how Dilbert became rather crap during the week. The whole sending of Asok away was somewhat ordinary, I thought. Having said that, the latest one is much better: 
From the PostSecret blog: 
As Jason says:
Look, I’m not really that interested.
Apparently, it’s one year since I moved permanently to Blogsome. I still love her as much as the day I met her.
Found this one on Boing Boing, and just had to pop it up here: 
Apparently handmade by Patricia Waller.
I just love this image: I can’t recall where it came from, but it makes me chuckle, each time I look at it. 
The adult version of the joke that “Babies are machines for turning milk into shit”: 
How true: 
Actually, the main reason I’m posting this is to comment on the Washington Post’s method of preventing you stealing the images displayed in comments. It’s actually quite clever. It checks the refererring page (where the <img src=“”> code is), and allows or rejects the request according to this. Of course, the easy way to get around it: take a screenshot. The harder way: find the image file in your cache. Search your computer for all files modified in the last 5 minutes just after loading the web page for the first time. You’ll need some kind of tool to examine the data in files, and be able to rename files to add the right extension.

Boing Boing: Wirelessly-enabled wine glasses
MIT Media Lab students Jackie Lee and Hyemin Chung have designed wireless-enabled wine glasses (actually, big tumblers) so couples can imbibe “together,” even when they’re geographically apart. From New Scientist: When either person picks up a glass, red LEDs on their partner’s glass glow gently. And when either puts the glass to their lips, sensors make white LEDs on the rim of the other glass glow brightly, so you can tell when your other half takes a sip. Following tests in separate labs, Lee says the wireless glasses really do “help people feel as if they are sharing a drinking experience together”.
Man, I can’t believe it took this long to invent!
