Friday Ephemera
Skate Bush. // Substandard taxidermy. // Life is like that sometimes. // The clandestine laboratory register. // He likes all of the effects. // How to alarm friends and family by squeezing your head inside a jar. // From the air. // A worryingly thorough archive of flight attendant uniforms. (h/t, Coudal) // For fans of Hong Kong neon. // The ups and downs of TV shows in annotated graph form. // Global migration flows. // Apparently this is an advert for bottled water. // Play with Patatap. // Just this. // At last, a coffee shop for birds. // Cats and metalheads. // When in doubt. // Distributed intelligence and farting ink. // And finally, in the name of science, a simulation of 1,500 people trying to cross a road while texting.
Still trying to figure out exactly what this means, but it’s really pretty: http://laughingsquid.com/bibo-an-animated-short-film-about-a-lonely-robot-who-sells-ice-cream/
Warning, that Crap Taxidermy is NSFW, burst out laughing way too often. And very unkind to dead animals.
Wow. The archive of flight attendant uniforms is truly a work of love. Somewhat deviant love, perhaps, but still very much love.
I wonder if all of those uniforms came with someone wearing them, and the world now is full of airline-hostesses without uniforms?

The actual flight attendants are still in the guy’s basement.
Substandard taxidermy.
I don’t think cats and dogs actually smile in real life.
Substandard taxidermy.
So many to choose from. I thought melting rat was a winner but then I saw devil pig and man’s best friend.
The ups and downs of TV shows in annotated graph form.
That thing’s eating up my lunch hour. So far I’m in agreement with every graph I’ve seen about a series I watched.
The worst places to get stung by a bee.

Joan – being stung on the penis by a bee would be unpleasant, but probably not half as unpleasant as trying to explain it to your wife.
“She means nothing to me sweetheart, it was just about the honey!”
The US Navy Parachute Team arrives in style.
Hartley Hare, surely a true pioneer of the substandard taxidermy style!

David –
I have come to look forward to Fridays for your weekly museum of human variety and oddity.
Thank you!
Happy to oblige.

Y’all have heard of Bluebeard’s wine cellar, haven’t you?
He had a wife in every port.
Re the TV show graphs. The lables on the graph for “Firefly” are all wrong. For example, the episode “Serenity” is plotted as Ep 11, when in fact, it’s the first episode in the series. The rest of them are all over the place as well.
James,
Wasn’t Firefly originally broadcast with episodes in the wrong order? I seem to remember watching what I thought was the pilot and feeling I’d been dropped in partway through the series. Despite which, it still hooked me. Until its scandalous axing.
The Game of Thrones body count is 5,179.

So far.
FYI David, Avast blocks the Hong Kong neon site – says it’s malware.
You’re right David. According to Wikipedia the Firefly episodes were first shown out of order, and that order is the one shown on Graph TV.
Weird that they would do that, as the episodes clearly build on each other.
Did Kate Bush run out of money or something? Seriously weird to do a concert after all this time.
I was hoping the “Skate Bush” link would be flatfish porn.

Game of Thrones has parallels with my time as Australian prime minister says Julia Gillard in the Guardian
