Whilst traipsing through the internet, I found this awesome album cover design for a Finnish psychedelic garage rock band which just so happens to have been designed by my college graphic design teacher! What are the chances?!

A small collection of some pretty random table designs by Bulgarian industrial designer Svilen Gamolov. They're not all to my tastes, and some of them aren't exactly practical... but you can't deny they're extremely creative and original. It's comforting and refreshing to think that one person can come up with so many varied concepts for one specific item.

NEW YORK—Desperate fans of the recently concluded television series Lost are speculating that the program is continuing on in a parallel dimension somewhere, and that alternate versions of showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are currently writing new episodes of the series. "It's very possible that a sideways world running concurrent to our own exists, and that a facsimile of myself is happy, fulfilled, and already gearing up for the season seven premiere of Lost," said 36-year-old Kevin Molinaro, who, along with more than 20 million other hopeless fans, has recently booked multiple roundtrip tickets from Los Angeles to Australia in hopes of traveling through a vortex in the space-time continuum. "I just have to find a way to get there. We all do." According to data from Google analytics, searches for "How to build/detonate/use a hydrogen bomb to open up a multidimensional wormhole" have increased 10 millionfold since the episode aired.

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" The survey was a huge failure... In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant. And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant

This cat is called Prinny. Its owner forces it to swim as part of some sick fetish, and just look how very unhappy the poor thing is about it all. These were taken at the Mornington Peninsula swim centre just an hour out of Melbourne. Feel free to visit there if you're looking for a way to punish your kitty for scratching the back of your couch up so bad. This just goes to show that cats and water don't mix well, unless it's in a stock pot with carrots, celery, onions and a bouqet garni.
