700 year old preserved brain
Evolutionary psychology tends to receive harsh criticism, and often rightly so. One of the main reasons for this is the severe lack of evidence for many of it’s proposals given that the paucity of fossilised brains fails to bolster many a case. And it isn’t even anyone’s fault. That’s just the way it goes sometimes, that the brain is a jelly-like substance that is subject to decay after death, and there’s no way we can objectively analyse or verify any differences in brains of long ago with brains of today.

Wandering Star
Here is a song from my new band PIECE DE RESISTANCE. We had a surprise performance (our 1st show) Feb. 4th @ a venue here in Indianapolis called The Vollrath Tavern (built in like 1936, John Dillinger used to be a frequent customer). We're on the lookout for a keyboard/bass player and recently acquired a great lead guitar player to even out our sound. We're not a cover band, but we have a few covers, this one among them: WANDERING STAR by the band PORTISHEAD. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy. We're playing out around town about twice a month at the moment, trying to make our set stronger and more diverse.

Unsleepable Pillows
I recently came across this series of Forensic Pillow designs and couldn’t help thinking they are not the most relaxing things out there.
Imagine walking in on someone sleeping under this:VIA: -SHE WALKS SOFTLY-

Monsters and Marilyns
Monsters and Marilyns is a project by Jesse Lenz. The hair and make-up from Andy Warhol's 'Marilyn Monroe' painting is placed on politicians, dictators, public officials, as well as old horror movie monsters that are liars, murderers, and tyrants.
By doing this the statement is made that no matter how much popular culture or the mass media tries to dress up and beautify these people, they are still monsters.

New Interview w/ Cult Favorite Horror Author David Wellington
It’s the End of the World as we Know it:
Interview with cult-favorite horror author David Wellington
-MAD 3/4/10
http://www.upsidebackwards.info
==========
-MAD: MR. Wellington, it’s really awesome to speak with you, thanks for taking some time with us. I just finished reading your MONSTER TRILOGY and could tell from the start that this is definitely an instant classic of the “zombie apocalypse” sub-genre of horror literature, and just an all together great series of books even if you aren’t necessarily a fan of horror! When did you first realize that you wanted to be an author, and how did the genesis of the MONSTER TRILOGY first come into fruition?
-D.W.: I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I started when I was six years old. Thirty years later, I was getting a little frustrated that I’d never been published. So I put my new book online, thinking that at least people would get a chance to read it. Enough of them did that I got a book deal out of it. I was pretty excited.

Top 12 Comic Book Superweapons
Pros: Grants omnipotence
Cons: No commensurate omniscience. Bearer becomes target of every major figure in the Marvel Comics universe. No one has ever successfully kept it. Tacky Power Gem color scheme clashes with everything. You'll inevitably be charged with a task even omnipotence can't perform: Making third-rate characters like Adam Warlock, Pip the Troll, and Drax the Destroyer cool.

80's Thai Horror Movie Posters
In the 1980s, painted movie ads were the norm in Thailand. These exquisitely creepy collages didn't just divulge important plot points to audiences... they were scarier than the movies themselves.
