Mind-blowing!
My parents bought me braces that I wore for 3.5 miserable years. I am forever grateful and I count my blessings ever time I look in the mirror. Thanks, Mom and Dad!!!

Homo erectus male
Sculpture by John Gurche, paleontologist, anthropologist, paleo-artist. Gurche studies the position of muscle, fat, and bone on modern ape and human cadavers and uses this information to create extremely realistic sculptures of extinct apes and hominids. He begins with a skull replica, builds up muscle and fat out of clay, then creates the outer skin and hair. All of his work is based on scientific research.

This is a diagram of the colossal Saturn V rocket: the largest, most powerful rocket ever launched. It is the only launch vehicle to take human beings out of Low Earth Orbit. These exquisitely designed machines took 24 men to the moon.

Weird! This was an art installation I saw in Culver City, California a couple of years ago. It was at a gallery next door to Blum and Poe. EVERYTHING was covered in blood as if a massacre had occurred. I believe there was an empty space on the floor where blood had not splattered in the shape of an axe. To the right, in the corner, was a television playing videos of hardcore gay porn.
