the everliving

You all obviously remember my previous post on mumm-ra and a thundercats movie which I hope you realize was photoshopped by a friend of mine.

WormyTV spent a year and a half creating this fan made movie trailer for a live-action Thundercats movie using clips from various movies. Starring Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman and Vin Diesel. The San Francisco-based graphic artist added all the effects frame by frame in Photoshop. The footage was edited in Adobe Premiere. Pretty incredible and also one of the coolest movie trailers i’ve seen this year.

like father like son

At first this photo seems to be a couple with a large head floating between them. But look again – things aren’t always what they seem.
Most people who look at this old photograph will probably see a large bearded head between the two figures. It looks like an image of Jesus.

You’ll probably think it’s just a crude hoax from bygone days. But look again, carefully. This is not a hoax at all. What the photo actually shows is a child sitting on the man’s knee.
Block out the head’s ‘hair’. That’s just a collection of foliage in the background. The ‘eye’ is the face the child, shadowed by a large white bonnet. The ‘nose’ is the sleeve of the child’s shirt. And the ‘mustache’ is the child’s arm, bent at the elbow.

Be patient. It may take you awhile to see this.

great moments in history

The Dancing Plague (or Dancing Epidemic) of 1518 was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace, France (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) in July 1518. Numerous people took to dancing for days without rest, and over the period of about one month, most of the people died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.

The outbreak began in July 1518, when a woman, Frau Troffea, began to dance fervently in a street in Strasbourg.[1] This lasted somewhere between four to six days. Within a week, 34 others had joined, and within a month, there were around 400 dancers. Most of these people eventually died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.
