Ghastly Find Has LAPD Brushing Up On History.

This is SUCH a great story.

"Two infant skeletons wrapped in 1930s newspapers and placed in doctor's bags were found inside an unclaimed steamer trunk by a woman cleaning out the basement of a 1924 building that's being converted to condominiums, authorities in Los Angeles said.

The skeletons, believed to be decades-old remains of fetuses or infants, were discovered late Tuesday in the 4-foot-tall green trunk inscribed with the initials JMB.

Other things found in the trunk included cigarettes, a green bowl, black and white photos, letters, a book club membership certificate inscribed Jean M. Barrie and ticket stubs from the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games."

Cheeseburger in a can.

I'm guessing it doesn't actually come with the bun, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions and condiments...

The Baltimore Block.

A set of very unique dollhouses. Almost unsettling when you look at her other work.

Urban disguise to combat crime.

Although street crime is relatively low in Japan, many Japanese say they feel growing anxiety about safety. Ms. Tsukioka begins the transformation from dress to machine...

Ms. Tsukioka said her idea of the vending machine disguise was inspired by a trick used by Japan’s ancient ninja, who cloaked themselves at night under black blankets.

Lonely Attractive Inmates in the USA Seek Penpals

Can you imagine what it must be like for attractive men and women to be without companionship? These incarcerated female and male inmates are paying a price for crimes they have committed. These inmates are very real and are seeking you! Why not give it a try? Make the day of a lonely inmate! He/She will get excited when his/her name is called to receive a letter from you. Just think how lonely it must feel at mail call to never hear your name, especially after being locked up for several years and family and friends have deserted you. All of these prisoners behind bars have written me a letter requesting to be listed. It can be a lot of fun communicating with these individuals. Don't be shy, give it a try!"

Day of the Dead Bendy Mariachi Band

I don't know if I've ever posted something simply because I loved the name so much. Alas, I can't resist.


Start your own Muertos serenade with a set of 3 little Day of the Dead Mariachis. These are bendy - so you can position them in many different musical ways. There are several different instruments that each might be playing, so your set may be different than another. When standing straight, our little fellows measure about 4 inches tall.

Hanakotoba plant communicator.

How bizarre. I'd love to see it in action.


Hanakotoba means “Language of the Flowers” in Japanese, but the Hanakotoba communicator from e-Revolution can be used for any kind of indoor plant. By inserting the stem of Hanakotoba into your plant’s soil or water, it can convey to you what your plant cannot in a 200 word vocabulary (Japanese only).
