In Photos: Signs from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear | Posted The performances were only part of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday afternoon. Rally attendees came prepared with homemade signs — some purely political, but most in keeping with the event’s satirical nature — which the Post‘s Jonathan Kay and Chris Boutet dutifully captured.

15 Bizarre Drug Ingredients and Origins For millennia, when confronted with a newly discovered material man has asked himself one burning question: Can I use this to get fucked up? It comes as no surprise that some of the most bizarre and banal materials make it in to the drugs we know, love and abuse.

Methamphetamine Image Source Image Source You Might Know it as: Meth, Ice, Speed, Crystal Meth Meth is something of a wonder drug that causes the user to become energetic, alert, euphoric, highly focused, and prone to clean their house with a toothbrush. The production process for meth is notoriously dangerous and toxic. Ketamine Image Source Dimethyltryptamine Image Source Dextromethorphan

'Strange Worlds': More than meets the eye Given the subject matter of this blog, most of the artists, designers, and architects who I write about aren’t exactly in the business of deception. For this post, reality and transparency have gone on holiday, replaced with the truly exquisite, eye-tricking works of New Jersey-based artist Matthew Albanese. When looking at the below photo you might think, “Wow, what a dramatic photo of a tornado” not “Wow, what an interesting photo of ground parsley, cotton, moss and steel wool.” Well, that’s what you are looking at: ground parsley, cotton, moss and steel wool painstakingly arranged to look like a tornado sweeping across a plain. Creating "Strange Worlds," Albanese spends weeks constructing small-scale models of dramatic natural landscapes using common, household materials ranging from paprika to tile grout to fireplace ash.
