Why is Cthulhu on this 300-year-old gravestone?
The Reverend Ichabod Wiswall (1637-1700) is a historical footnote. When he's remembered, it's for giving the first funeral sermon in America, in Duxbury, Massachusetts. So why is there a Lovecraftian cephalopod on his gravestone? Wiswall was responsible, with the Reverend Increase Mather, for persuading Queen Mary to create the 1692 charter which united the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay into the Province of Massachusetts Bay, which became the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Wiswall served the town of Duxbury as a minister for 24 years and is buried in Duxbury in the Myles Standish Burial Ground, supposedly the oldest continually maintained cemetery in the United States.
A Website Named Desire
Designing, building and launching websites is real hard work — but our profession is seriously misunderstood. To help explain the process, we drew you a picture. A really big picture.
Sometimes the best way to survive the end of the world is just to go crazy and roll with it. After all, the denizens of the lushly painted webcomic Romantically Apocalyptic survive with gas masks, ingenuity, and batshit insanity. Vitaly S Alexius illustrates Romantically Apocalyptic using a combination of live actors, stock footage, green screens, and Photoshop. The result is a beautiful bit of disaster porn, with crumbling buildings and piles of human skeletons. A nuclear holocaust has destroyed most of humanity, leaving behind just a handful of soldiers: the Captain (the looniest of the loony), his Pilot, his Sniper, and his Engineer. Well, there are also a group of cultists living underground, but they worship a shredded lemonade label and hardly count.
Romantically Apocalyptic: a webcomic about staving off post ...
En estos días en los que se conmemora el centenario de la catástrofe del " Titanic ", muchos hemos recordado las escenas de la oscarizada película en la que los hombres, perfectos caballeros incluso en la hora postrera, cedían a las mujeres y los niños los escasos bancos de las más escasas aún balsas salvavidas. Lamentablemente a Cameron se le olvidó mencionar un pequeño detalle: los tripulantes, armados, apuntaban con sus fusiles a las hordas de hombres desesperados por sobrevivir , para de este modo asegurar la supervivencia de las féminas y los menores, quienes en un porcentaje del 70% evitaron las gélidas y mortíferas aguas del Atlántico norte. Solo el 20% de los hombres sobrevivió, como bien saben las admiradoras de DiCaprio . Unos años antes del hundimiento del mítico y titánico buque "insumergible", concretamente en 1852, el buque de la Royal Navy británica " HMS Birkenhead " , naufragó en Danger Point, cerca de Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica, con una particularidad.
