Ron Mueck & His Amazing Sculptures (NSFW?) 2007-07-30 07:34:00 Ron Mueck & His Amazing Sculptures (NSFW?)Ron Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in Great Britain.Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth for which he also contributed the voice of Ludo.Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. Although highly detailed, these props were usually designed to be photographed from one specific angle hiding the mess of construction seen from the other side. Mueck increasingly wanted to produce realistic sculptures, which looked perfect from all angles.Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. His five metre high sculpture Boy 1999 was a feature in the Millennium Dome and later exhibited in the Venice Biennale.In 2002 his sculpture Pregnant Woman was purchased by the N ... Amp

Wait till you check out the second photo & its teeth. African Rock Python is around 18-20 feet long, though there have been specimens over 28 feet long.This makes the African Rock Python the longest snake found in Africa and one of the longest snakes in the world, though they tend to be lighter in body mass than other large snakes, such as the Burmese Python and Green Anaconda, but they are known to attain weights of 250 lb (109 kg).They are typically brown in color, with olive green and tan irregular blotching, fading to white on the underside.

Whirlpool Chess 2007-07-30 07:18:00 Whirlpool ChessSomething for the lovers of chess game:I originally ran across this chess variation back when I was a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We're talking late 70s or early 80s. I found this game described on a calendar in the math department library. Thinking back, I'm not sure just what the name of the game was. I call it "singularity chess," or "whirlpool chess," for reasons that will become evident.I made a board for myself on a piece of leather. Any small set of chessmen will do. You'll notice that the "squares" on the board are not really square- they range from more or less square to semicircular. Even though the "squares" differ in shape, each "square" has four sides and four corners.Even the two semicircular "squares" at the center of the board have four sides and four corners. (Corners indicated above in red.) These two "squares" share two sides and three corners in common. The corner between them which lies at the very cente ...
