Li Xiaofeng is the artist. He was trained as a muralist but turned to sculpture to explore a new concept and expression of Chinese landscapes. His choice of material is unexpected; instead of marble, wood or even glass, he prefers buying shards of broken porcelain recovered from ancient archeological digs, some dating from the Ming Dynasty, and then shaping and polishing them, drilling holes into each corner and linking them together with silver wire to create "rearranged landscapes". You can find other examples of his artistic recycling efforts here: https://www.redgategallery.com/content/li-xiaofeng

In 2019 there were about 120 on the planet. An earlier article, talking about the efforts to bring them back, had their numbers at 35, so moving in the right direction.

The first sign that our machine overlords had become sentient, was a subtle trolling campaign, that was initially overlooked in the chaos of 2020. Things got worse fast.

That was a great show. My favorite episode was the one that started off with Tim overclocking an ordinary household appliance, then segueing into an argument with his wife, Jill, that ended with Wilson explaining Tim's error and Tim, having learned his lesson, apologizing and Jill forgiving him. A truly unique, one of a kind, classic!

Every dart player in the world: "Tis but common knowledge."

It's called the Testimatic, labelled as "the world's first auto ball checker".What you do is muster your courage, step up to the booth, pull a curtain around you and drop your pants.
What then happens is not some fancy high tech screening process - instead, there's a good old urologist sitting in the booth who - through a hole - will have a little feel of your balls.
In a matter of minutes, you'll be good to go again.

Spent way too much time trying to discern what was so special about his "custom contacts". Can't wait till my ophthalmologist clears my post-operative eyes for a new eye test and glasses.

None in the pink and one in the stink...alerter.

Circa 1996-When, evidently, it was cold...all the time. Take that, climate change deniers.

Seriously, I read something similar to the following, and have since been hyper-vigilant when cutting bagels. Evidently ERs, on weekends, are pretty busy with people sporting wounds to their non-dominant hand.: Don’t Be the Next BRI (Bagel Related Injury) Statistic!
In 2008, 1,979 people went to the emergency room due to a BRI (bagel-related injury), according to the Wall Street Journal. In fact, it’s the number one injury on Saturday and Sunday mornings and is so frequent that there’s even an insurance code number for it. This number is actually higher as it doesn't take in to account BRI's that went to walk-in medical centers or their own physicians. Bottom line is it’s no fun to have your morning ruined because you lost the battle with your bagel.

So, Nightmare on Burnt Elm Street?

When you show up to collect five cats...and they're short one.

Just off the top of my head, I'd have to say that these two sleepy heads are having a real meeting of the minds. I guess two heads are better than one-a double header, so to speak. I hope no one was hurt during their head on collision. :)

Right up there with stewed white mushrooms that also lose about 50-60% after cooking. Stewed leeks at 40% and stewed tomatoes and celery at 37% are the next worst. I guess if you stewed spinach, you'd end up with a black hole.

Cats, in general, are good looking animals, but this one is in a class by himself. Not sure if it's him or the bowtie, but he's striking.

I wonder how our newfound adherence to those common sense, but often ignored rules, will impact this year's amount of seasonal flu cases?
