Who doesn’t love the infamous
Kircher Society? Here, they
advance the notion of a 19th C.
contraption called the
Superiorvator.
In more serious news, the Chicago
Council on Global Affairs went to
17 nations to conduct a poll on
global warming, asking
respondents to answer various
questions about its urgency.

Yea, I thought it was a bizarre
thing to say to a total stranger
as well after being asked that
very question by the facility
manager of Urban Glass in
Brooklyn. However, in the world
of glass blowing, “priming your
glory hole” merely means to heat
the oven to a proper glassblowing
temp. In fact, I later found that
the art of glassblowing is filled
with sexual innuendo and double
entendre. You can just imagine
the bruised sensibilities of my
virginal ears…yea, anyway. Glory
hole, stroking and ram-rodding

“The consequences of imposing such
a SPECIFIC and RANDOM date of
withdrawal would be disastrous,”
Bush said in a speech at the
National Cattlemen’s Beef
Association meeting. “Our enemies
in Iraq would simply have to mark
their calendars. They’d spend the
months ahead plotting how to use
their new safe haven once we were
to leave. It makes no sense for
politicians in Washington, D.C.
to be dictating arbitrary
timelines for our military
commanders in a war zone 6,000
miles away.”

Paul and I split a surfing lesson
taught by this awesome chick
named “Sticks” (or “Styx?”) who works
out of the Frog Pad. She had us
standing up in white water (and I
think Paul caught a green wave or
two). It was really fun.
But her best piece of advice came
when we were wading out. She said
“Shuffle your feet, dears.
There are stingrays out here and
you want to let them know you’re
coming.”

Recalling Lee Hirsch’s previous
“Clock for Global Warming”
idea, artist Xavier Cortada turns
climate change concerns into art.
And, his pieces are set in
Antactica.
Cortada’s work is currently on
show at the Kunsthaus Miami.

Just came across a book here on
why doctors and nurses should
surf. It’s not the book depicted
in the postcard image above,
although that book is also about
a surfing nurse.

I love this trend, mostly because
it makes alpha-males so
uncomfortable and upset which
makes me laugh and laugh and
laugh. So satisfying!

For some reason, I am still
fascinated by the hindu
astrological beliefs that
requires actress Aishwarya Rai to
marry a tree. Various blogs say
that the ritual is required
because Ms. Rai’s first marriage
will bring disaster to the groom.
By marrying the tree, the tree
will receive the bad luck,
disaster, etc. So at first, this
all seemed like a pithy
expression of love for nature — but
nope — actually, the ritual is
pretty much mean-spirited towards
the tree.
