Holy Moses, the list of permissions that app wants for Facebook is unreal! Accessing personal photos, accessing my data at any time, even when I'm not using the application, and posting to Facebook as me? What the hell?

That was my reaction, Shadowlass. I'm probably being overly cautious, but why on earth isn't a simple email address enough?

dionneshea Mon Nov 21, 2011 4:15 pm

Yeah, I declined because of those as well. On Twitter it wanted to be able to post from my account and have access to my followers accounts as well. No, thank you.

You can revoke access after you register, though, if you want.

A few of these have made me LOL at my desk: Ugly Renaissance Babies.

Oh god, I am dyiiiiing!

Although I feel like being the art history nerd who points out that plenty of those are ugly romanesque babies and ugly gothic babies.

Y'all, go play with the Thanksgiving-themed Google Doodle!

And some of us who don't celebrate Thanksgiving get an awesome Stanislaw Lem game with robots in it!

There are Easter eggs hidden in the Google turkey. I found one by selecting the wizard's hat and the purple, turned-up-toes shoes, and turning all the feathers purple.

I am enjoying this way too much.

I found a different one with the eye patch, black feathers and boots. :) Fangirl I may be but I do love the fun stuff they do.

Hee, that reminds me of when we went to Florence. Days and days, gallery after gallery of Renaissance and Baroque painting and sculpture, approximately half being of the Madonna and Child. Now, my husband is a painter, so we are the type to enjoy days and days of walking through museums. But as awed as we were by the beauty of seeing these in person, we did make the following observations:

1. The womens' hands were way too big -- as my husband said, like putting his hands on my arm/frame;

2. Even if the hands were more proportionate, they always seemed to be posed strangely (cue him laughing at me trying to contort my hand likewise);

3. They really did not portray the proportions of infants very well. Infant to mother, infant head to infant body, infant face to infant head...

Or, as we would say, "Oh, look, more freaky hands and freaky babies."

Cynara Sat Nov 26, 2011 12:11 pm

Yeah, they were not all about proportion back then. Plus (someone who isn't mostly talking out of his or her ass, feel free to correct me) a lot of times the faces of the baby Jesus (and everyone else in the painting) were specifically painted to look like the cardinals/bishops/rich guy who had paid for the painting/rich guy's wife etc. Hours of entertainment centuries later!

Illustration of a demon being horrified by a vagina.

(It's an illustration of the Jean de La Fontaine story The Devil of Popefingerdom.)

Written? Kitten!

Here's something for those of you working on final papers for the semester. For every 100 words you type, a new picture of a kitten pops up! I wish I'd had this back in grad school when I had to write papers nonstop and every single sentence was like pulling teeth because I hated writing and hated grad school and wanted to be done. This could have helped!

Shadowlass Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:32 pm

Procatinator. Videos of cats accompanied by perfectly matching songs.
