This is probably the best street art I’ve seen in a while. I wish I could pair it with a circa 1997 midi file of “Man on the Run,” but alas, the internet has not been so kind to me today. Oh well.

Holy bajeezus, this is amazing. I kind of can’t believe what a jam this mashup is. Sorry friends. Prepare to have “You’re Gonna Love My Nuts” stuck in your head all day.

Grace Jones, I love you so bad.“Remember how the live puppy feed had sound, so you could leave the tab open on your browser while you did other things like work, and then when the puppies woke up from a nap you would hear it and you could go back over and check out what they were doing? This kitten feed should have that too.”
I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. At all.

This is not the most amusing piece of e-correspondence I’ve received from my elderly landlords, but it’s a good example of Their Ways. A posting for a vacancy in my building stated dogs are not permitted; my lease says they are allowed with written permission. I wrote asking for clarity as I may at some point in the future wish to live with a person who has a dog. I received this response.

Dear Ms. [MiddleChild],
The listing is correct, and the lease is consistent because we in fact are not willing to approve a dog for any of the apartments in [address]. We absolutely do not want a dog in that building.
A future revision of the lease for this property will state that dogs are simply not permitted.
We have apartments in another building where a dog is permitted, but there is no vacancy there at present.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Best wishes,
[Mr. Landlord]

I think you’ll agree the best part of this email is the last line. As if I might go ahead and have a dog anyway? I live on the ground floor of a building with six units. Further, the dog in question is a very healthy barker. I don’t think he could be clandestinely kept in the apartment, but I am amused at the firm wording of this email.

From today’s NYTimes:
Scientists are talking for the first time about the old idea of resurrecting extinct species as if this staple of science fiction is a realistic possibility, saying that a living mammoth could perhaps be regenerated for as little as $10 million.
Hello! Hasn’t anyone seen Jurassic Park? Or at least Encino Man? Let me synthesize the morals of both stories: let sleeping fossils/cadavers/ancient mosquito blood samples lie. I know Encino Man had a happy ending in which Link becomes a stoney California teenager but a Pauly Shore/Brendan Frasier/Sean Astin vehicle should never, ever have existed.
In other weird science news, check out this awesomely cute two-headed kitten from the TimesOnline.
