A french artist named Baptiste Debomboug created these art pieces using over 35 000 staples

Its not what it seems

Pictures of foods, disguised as other foods. I find these pictures fun and refreshing to look at. Something to get the creative juices flowing.

Posters for peace

Such simple, yet cleaver and very effective designs. I remember seeing war posters from WWII and thinking they were ancient history. Well, here are the newer versions, better than ever... ?

Tapeworms for sale

Vintage advertisements are funny because they are so ridiculous...but usually they are ridiculous because they are real. We have come a long way for sure. Here are a few ads from the 50's that are, among other things, interesting.

The ad above is selling tape worms as the solution for weight loss


This ad is suggesting women should douche with Lysol so that they stay desirable.


This ad is selling a drug to help with morning sickness.

I get an A+ in Facebook

I recently read a newspaper article that explained that Facebook, the popular networking site, will now be used in public school classrooms. It stated that the school board was no longer going to fight against the students for trying to use Facebook at school and instead, use it as a learning tool. They will use it for extra help as early as grade 5.
Personally, I have never used Facebook as a learning tool, except to maybe learn who got wasted the previous weekend. I am very skeptical as to how Facebook could be used for extra help in a grade 5 classroom. Why not try Google? I hope everyone comes to their senses soon and realizes this is a horrible idea. To me this seems like a cop out. Yes, I am sure teachers are sick and tired of trying to block Facebook on school computers but I don't think this is a valid way to solve the problem. I am also wondering what the school board receives from Facebook for complying to their site.

Muse at the ACC

I recently went to see Muse at the ACC in Toronto. The band put on such a great performance I thought I would post their latest CD cover. Great piece of design.
