Alright, it’s not historically accurate. Traditionally, I think, Mary has always been portrayed with two eyes. None of the Bible accounts mention how many eyes Mary had. Da Vinci’s Madonna had two eyes. Of course, if Da Vinci was such an expert, the Last Supper wouldn’t have been painted with table …

I saw a documentary on Middle Eastern wells. A well is a big deal there. Everything happens because of water.
Some of them are quite old, even supposedly dating back to the days of Abraham. A well is so important that there are men who dive down into these narrow tunnels and remove …
Alien Supplicant (2007)
I go on a quaternion fractal kick for a few weeks almost every year. There’s something very special about these sculpted, rolled in Play-Doh, Tootsie Roll forms.

No one had built a star before. We were going to be the first.
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? We know now. We built very special pins and we saw things that no …
I read somewhere, or heard from someone, that study carrols were invented in monasteries. A study carrol (did I spell it wrong?) is a one-person table that is walled on all sides except the one you sit at. The prototypical cubicle.
No, it wasn’t the first. The first cubicle was the small cave …
Hordes of Photoshop Jockeys (2000)
This one is kind of an in-joke.
Back when I used to post my images on Usenet on alt.binaries.pictures.fractals (which were either — pick one — the good old days or the dark ages), there occasionally would be some lively (read: flame-filled) discussions. One night, a thread got …
The first Radio Satelite. 1957, or around then. Whatever happened to Sputnik?

Years pass, decades pass. …
