George Bush Artwork








Due to the former U.S. president's email account being hacked, the art world has been treated to George Bush's rather charming paintings, which are mainly of dogs (and a couple of self-portraits of the artist conducting his ablutions).

Beautiful Stills from Beautiful Films: Boogie Nights

Film-grab.com, a website that showcases 'beautiful stills from beautiful films', has just published a post on 'Boogie Nights', El Tarangu's second favourite film of all time. One of the images is a little NSFW (is a single female nipple still classified as NSFW these days?), but no spoilers.

Russian Asteroids = Scary Shit






The European Space Agency has released an assessment on the recent asteroid impact over Chelyabinsk.

Quotes:

The entry speed is estimated at around 18 km/s – more than 64 000 km/h.
... the object is estimated to have been about 17 m across with a mass of 7000–10 000 tonnes when it hit atmosphere.

It exploded with a force of nearly 500 kilotons of TNT – some 30 times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb – around 15–20 km above the ground.

It seems that the Mayans were only a tiny bit off in their calculations.
