I especially love the Death of Marat, the Carrivagio and the Klimt. Very noice. The whole thing made me smile, and the Frida Kahlo made me lol a little.

The US is building a new embassy in London, a one (puts pinky to mouth) billion dollar beauty that looks all the way back to ancient times to provide security for its inhabitants — a moat.
From the Times of London:
A moat 30 metres (100ft) wide and rolling parkland will separate the building from the main road, protecting it from would-be bombers and removing the need for the blast barriers that so dismayed the people of Mayfair.
Will they put alligators or sharks in it? With lasers? They will need them, because this guy is right: England is a cesspit.

Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil
An Arab ambassador has called off his wedding after discovering his wife-to-be who wears a face-covering veil is bearded and cross-eyed.

The names of William Hunter and William Smellie still inspire respect among today’s doctors, more than 250 years since they made their contributions to healthcare. Such were the duo’s reputations as outstanding physicians that the clienteles of their private practices included the rich and famous of mid-18th-century London.
But were they also serial killers?
Wah, wah, wahwahwah.
I often find myself swimming against the stream of public opinion, and that goes for my Jayhawks, too. To wit, A Contention that Most Everyone Will Think Sounds Crazy But Is Actually True:
CJ Henry is a better get for the program than his brother Xavier.
Point the first: Wahahahahahahah.
Point the second: The current Christian obsession with getting teenagers not to have sex is the very definition of “Sisyphean.”
Point the third: Abstinance-only education (and the ‘purity’ trope not only fails in every regard, it nets out in more unwanted pregnancies and STDs.
Via openeducation.net:
Therefore, those youngsters who took the virginity pledge were not only just as likely to have intercourse, they ultimately were more likely to take part in sex in an unsafe manner.
^ That would be the boulder rolling back down the hill part.
And to be honest with you, I would probably rather be 14 and pregnant with siphylis than have to sit through this more than once:
“He’s really going for it!”
