Um… wtf?
‘He is very tame and one day when I threw a cigarette butt away he went for it and seemed to enjoy having it in his mouth,’ said 33-year-old Lau.
‘One thing led to another and before long he was having one cigarette in the morning and another at night.’

These guys sell other cool handmade key chains too, in the same style. I’ll definitely be ordering a butt load soon.

This is probably the coolest natural thing I’ve ever seen! Incredible! There is a glacier in Antarctica that seeps red liquid, making it look like the glacier is bleeding.
Discovered in 1911 by a member of Robert Scott’s ill-fated expedition team, its rusty color was at first theorized to be caused by some sort of algae growth. Later, however, it was proven to be due to iron oxidation. Every so often, the glacier spews forth a clear, iron-rich liquid that quickly oxidizes and turns a deep shade of red.

Adobe is publicly thinking about developing apps for the Apple iPad device. While I do love the Adobe Creative Suite family, I’m not too sure how I feel about the idea of them on the iPad.
How large will the apps be? The iPad comes in only 16, 32, or 64GB drive capacities, so probably really small, thus limiting the apps when it comes to functionality and usability. Many features and tools will most probably be excluded, and only the “essential” features will be available. But every designer has their own take on what is essential. Inconvenient problem.
I haven’t yet experienced a designing emergency that couldn’t wait until I’m back at the office. Also, a laptop is always present at client meetings in case on-the-spot changes or brainstorming is required. So I ask you, is having these limited apps on a limited mobile device really necessary?
Not for me.

Fifteen years after drawing this strip, Calvin and Hobbes creator, Bill Watterson, stepped out from his low-key profile and was interviewed (via email) for a Cleveland-based paper.
“By the end of 10 years, I’d said pretty much everything I had come there to say…If I had rolled along with the strip’s popularity and repeated myself for another five, 10 or 20 years, the people now ‘grieving’ for “Calvin and Hobbes” would be wishing me dead and cursing newspapers for running tedious, ancient strips like mine,” Watterson said.
I love Calvin and Hobbes, but I do understand where he’s coming from. More of the same would have made this comic less special than it is.
“The only part I understand is what went into the creation of the strip. What readers take away from it is up to them. Once the strip is published, readers bring their own experiences to it, and the work takes on a life of its own,” Watterson said.

Roxxy the robot:
All jokes aside, this is great for the Arab culture. Men and boys can have the ultimate tool to release their built-up-to-the-rim-and-about-to-explode sexual tension. The government could provide discounts for the masses as an attempt to tone down the public harassment, pre-marital sex and most importantly, rape.
I commend this man from New Jersey. Although his intentions might not have been to help people, I’m sure that a good number of the customers will be those that are seeking actually help: sex offenders, addicts, shy men, etc.
Also, I think it’s really interesting that women have inquired about Roxxy as well.
