OK, new thread for pictures.... cool stuff.
WTF & WTF-NSFW are for is that for real or do you believe that, type pictures.
DoDads is for pictures of stuff you own.
How are You Feeling is for mood pictures.
RFN for self portraits, right now.
Ye Olde Video Clipe thread is for videos....duh
Etc, etc, etc.

So now we have a place for cool stuff....kinds of an IOtD for the masses. Why? Because I couldn't figure out where to put some pics I wanted to post. :D

oh yay!! Yes thanks... You fixed a problem indeed!

I was just now looking for an old art thread. I could have put this next one just about anywhere as well.

Thanks for the help and the new place to post 'cool stuff' :D

Oh oh, turn on the fan. That's a stack on paper on the table isn't it? :biggrinha


It's coming.......

Nay, nay, for the Turkish flower is covered with cool stuff. :p

That's a wtf for me, 'cause I can't figure out wtf it is. A boot scraper?:confused:

Rime frost on both ends of a "capped column" snowflake.

Ah so. :cool:

That painting actually trips a scent memory for me. cool.

I've been playing with HDR software - I like it, it's pretty cool. Please excuse the watermarks - I only have a trial version.

Okay, now put it in Half-Life 2.

dude, that would fuckin' rock... Blasting combine down the streets of taibei...

bn, are you trying to simulate the highlights and shadows from a low altitude nuke? :eek:

Can't remeber where I got this. Some story about a camera that got rained on or something and the pictures came out like this.

This is kind cool. I'd like to visit. Maybe spend the night.

I just noticed as I posted it, that one of those houses is a photoshopped copy of the other. Tree branches are all the same. Less cool now. Damn.

Maybe they painstakingly trim and cut so that the trees and boards and everything are exactly the same.

Anyway, just one of them is still cool. However, I wouldn't want to visit. Can you imagine the spiders that must dwell in those, among other gnarly bugs.

Do you know where it is?

Nope. Just found it on the ol' web. No info. The more I look at it, the more fake it looks. Like a matte painting superimposed on a forest photo.

So it calls for a certain suspension of disbelief. :)

Kind of like Swiss Family Robinson

Love the brilliant colors. The peacock is still my favorite bird, but this Quetzal comes in a close second.

My son's hair used to stand up like that so we called him Quetzalito (little quetzal bird).

The frame is cast titanium. :cool:

Okay...let me get this straight. They *wanted* the rider of this thing to look like he's buggering a skeleton, right?

LoL

I found this one at this part of his website, pretty unusual! http://www.oncotton.co.uk/peter/index/index2.html

"Concert for Birds, 2005
25 min. performance in which I sang different bird related songs, read out loud poems, imitated different sounds of birds and fed the birds with bread.

Swan costume, different instruments, floating nest and plastic ducks"

cuckoo *wink*

I have seen websites that actually do have treehouses. Those? :worried:

look unstable!

Never quite looked at it that way before.

I was wondering.

Now how can a salesman sell that thing when some burly guy walks up asks the question like you did and trys not to crack up laughing?

I know. It has more than just nostalgia.

Does this classify as a "strap-on"?

The house on the right looks like it's slowly coming down. Will it take the one on the left with it?

I'm bumping this up because there was no thread to cover cool stuff. ;)

I see some wtf photos.

I should have dubbed it. 'Thread of beauty and Zen like stuff.'







The reflected sunlight theory goes out the window in 1868 when Norwegian Anders Jonas Angstrom uses prism to show that sunlight is different from auroral light. Around 1860 Elias Loomis had defined the auroral zone.

.

Poor bastard has lost his brakes, and his buddies are just standing around taking pictures of his impending demise.

Judging by the colour of the hillside, he's not the first guy to lose his "brakes" there either!

I think the helmut is a waste. There can't be anything under it worth saving.

These two remind me of UT's dogs...more similar pics here.

yah bosties! There is actually a LiveJournal just for Boston pics.

"The Old Spice Guy" & "The Most Interesting Man In The World".

Stay thirsty my friends, and don't smell like a lady.

Ooh, Swank.

I thought this was kinda cool, in a "Hey-Look-What-They-Thought-Was-Cool-Back-Then" sorta way.

A traveling grooming kit. Ima guess early-to-mid-sixties?

What's the thing with the holes on either end, on the far left, beside the nail file?

callus remover, like a scorp for feet

The thing with a hole on both ends is a zit-popper / blackhead remover. Instead of squeezing, you press down directly on the area, with the offending blemish exposed through the hole. The pressure is more specific than with squeezing.

I confirm zit-popper.

We call it "the device"

I also endorse this device. [COLOR="Silver"]I apologize in advance Mr. Olmos.[/COLOR]

Looks kinda 'shopped...
