Mighty Optical Illusions

http://www.moillusions.com/ After deadly violence erupted during protests in Tahrir Square, Egypt last year, leaving 50 protestors dead, the military ordered walls be built around the heart of where the political activities occurred. Now Downtown Cairo locals must wander through a maze of barriers just to get around their own neighborhoods. To fight the barriers, Egyptian graffiti artists arranged a “No Walls” protest where they painted the walls with murals depicting the street hidden behind the blockades.

http://hawhawjames.livejournal.com/ I had alot of trouble getting the paper horns to stick to my head. I was hot and sweaty and the tape was useless. I became very frustrated until I had the idea to use peanut butter! I put a blob of Skippy peanut butter on each horn and they stuck to me great!
Five shitty movies that everyone loves.

Their centre was at Ma'rib, east of present-day San'ā', Yemen and on the edge of the sand desert. (In the indigenous inscriptions Ma'rib is rendered Mryb or Mrb; the modern spelling is based on an unjustified “correction” by medieval Arabic writers.)
