visual sundae Shakespeare Insult Kit Shakespeare Insult Kit Since 1996, the origin of this kit was listed as anonymous. It came to me on a piece of paper in the 90's with no attribution, and I thought it would make a cool web page. Though I searched for the origin, I could never find it. In 2014, Lara M found the originating author.

Lefthandedness Being left-handed is like being in a secret club. We have our own bizarre initialization rituals, such as learning how to write "the wrong way." We pay our dues every day, in terms of the extra effort that we must make to live in a right-handed world. For fun, I started making a list of the aspects of everyday life that are geared towards right-handed people. We have to use special "lefty" scissors. Back to Lucas' writings.

TATTOOS & THE BIBLE Leviticus 19:28 is the Christian (or so-called Christian?) tattooist and tattoo-bearer's worst nightmare. The Lord plainly, clearly, strongly, and without a doubt – condemns the tattoo. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28 Could that be any more clear? "Ye shall not. . .print any marks upon you. . ." Simple. . . God Said It. . . Right. . .? Not hardly. . . The clear statement from the word of God does not settle anything for this generation of disobedient, carnal, worldy, tolerant, non-judgmental, Christians. How do they get around Leviticus 19:28? Clearly, there it is. A lot of Christians when confronted with Leviticus 19:28, scream, "Hey dude, that’s not for today. Did you know that "bestiality" (sicko, perverted, sex with an animal) was ONLY forbidden in the Old Testament Levitical Law? By the way, have you ever read Leviticus 19:29? Merrill F. Believe it or not . . . this is a widely used argument. James M.
Wall Decals, Kids Wall Decals and Wall Tattoos by WALLTAT This is awesome News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - io9 The Good: AMAZING effects and character design! The battle droids actually *looked* like devices built for live combat situations—heavily-armoured, heavily-ARMED, and just...heavy! The Bad: 1) WHEN will people finally drop the completely stupid "careful withdrawal of consciousness from virtual environment" trope? The rig on the interrogator's head is clearly a simple noninvasive magnetic-resonance device stimulating parts of his brain. 2) If a battle bot has some way of overloading its batteries or onboard generator to generate an EMP, IT WILL FRY ITSELF IN THE PROCESS. I know, I know, I'm a nitpicking geek...but, really, what's the excuse for complete scientific illiteracy in so-called "sci-fi" film-making?
The illustrated guide to a Ph.D. Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge: By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little: By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more: With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty: A master's degree deepens that specialty: Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge: Once you're at the boundary, you focus: You push at the boundary for a few years: Until one day, the boundary gives way: And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D Of course, the world looks different to you now: So, don't forget the bigger picture: Keep pushing. There's a bit more below, but I also wrote a follow-up 5 years after the illustrated guide which may be of interest -- HOWTO: Get tenure.

Andrea Joseph (Weekly Story Theme: Romance) There is no other love like an illustrator’s hand and its pen. These two spend hours together everyday, inseparable, and when they are not together, the hand years for the cool grip of its beautiful slender pen. Andrea Joseph hand knows this feeling well, and his hand and its pen have been committed to each other for years now, and now on Creative Tempest they renew their vows.
Matthew, I picked a couple of your pearls: Games (cut my teeth on the original Adventure game), and origami. I used to know how to program, but 8 years off the net and I've got a couple of new languages to learn. I used to write simulations based on social behavior and marketing. I'm a gamer at heart. And as you can see from the faces, I still am attracted to behavior. it's a combination to be both right-brained (creative) and left-brained (logical), one that the best gamers and science-fiction authors share. Cultivate it. by judearnold Apr 15
Yeah it was a lucky find on Stumble Upon :P by 808.roxas.rebirth Apr 15
That is some great art! I have just added it to my design pearltree since I do not have an art tree yet. Also I sent you a flickr invite. by kocto Apr 14
I haven't published per se, but the faces on blocks have sold, so do the little handmade books where I also do the faces; I suppose that's a form of publication. I did my own facial expressions and © them. I'm just getting back online after 8 years, and have only just done an art page at or The art may look a little crooked...I only got a printer this week. by judearnold Apr 14
Wow! That sounds interesting!
Have you ever published your work? by kocto Apr 14
I like your pearl...I paint these faces on 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch wood blocks...and I have a lock on the local therapist market! I like the different presentations the idea has taken with various people's interpretations. by judearnold Apr 14
