Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

Awkward Stock Photos is always amusing, but today's image is downright scary:

Literally a thing of nightmares! Who in the world would pay money to run that photo?

On Friday I found a Russian website with what must be every piece of WoW artwork ever made. Seriously, thousands of images. Fanart, official art, TCG art. Okay, I shouldn't say every piece of WoW artwork, it left out the more... quality-challenged fanart. It took me nearly six hours to look though them all. (Note at the bottom of that page there are links to three more pages!)

The images are too big to list outside the cut as an example, so you'll have to click the cut to see a selection of them I liked best. Warning for anything you might see in WoW (blood, wounds, nongraphic "animal" (mob) death, non-naked breasts, suggestiveness).

( 23 images back here! )

Yesterday Reed became professor #6. Coloring on the screenshot is odd, it was taken in a strangely lit part of Icecrown.

I think it's 6, I really should count them all some day. I wish we could find out stats easier, I'd love to know what the highest Professor title/account number is. Then beat it. :D

I don't post good stuff about religion too often, but blightheart linked me to this sweet image about religion folks apologizing for being mean/homophobic.

Carved crayons may not sound impressive at all, but look at the details on those! I spent a good half-hour leaned in close to the screen, admiring all the work that must have gone into them. They sell for hundreds of dollars, too!

Like them enough to want some of your own? She's doing a raffle to help out Japan! She's made $4500.00 towards donations so far.

I'm tempted to buy a ticket or two, but if I won I'd be so paranoid. Crayons break easily! How do you handle a crayon-strength object worth hundreds of dollars?

I'll admit at first glance, before I knew they were crayons, I thought they were custom sex toys. *cough* Look at this image and tell me I'm crazy!



Didn't help that the site name is "The Pleasure of Tiny things"!

Edit: Holy cow, she's carved pencil lead, too!
