Hair Follicle Pillow-Gross or Awesome?

No question this looks beautiful at a glance. It also looks well made and as it's description says it's scientifically accurate. But is it also gross? I can't decide.
I kind of really like it, but something about this diagram brings to mind to every diagram you've ever seen of a filled up sebaceous gland (ask your parents). Then I just remember scab and puss monster stories from waiting in line after lunch in 2nt grade.
Help me out here. It's cool right?

Then there is pretty much no question that the finger cross section creeps me out because the existence of under the fingernail is one of the few things that makes me squeamish (ow ow ow ow ow). But wouldn't they look great together?

At least we can all love this without any icky feelings coming up.

However we feel we should all thank MyWifeYourWife for making the world of throw pillows a little more exciting. 

Doll hater? Me too. But these doll head cups are awesome.

I've never been into dolls. Even when I was little it was all about stuffed animals. I'm so not into dolls that I keep wanting to spell dolls like dools. That's not the spelling instinct of a doll lover, or someone who can spell. Naturally doll stuff doesn't do it for me. But I love, love, love these cups.

They're perfect. They even come in a pretty tiny box.

And I assume with this pretty severed hand. 

Well done Natalia Gruszecka of endesign.

As long as we're on dolls, I found these in a consignment store in Prescott, AZ. They were surrounded by normal human dolls. WHAT IS GOING ON?

Hot Dog or Shut up and eat your Coney Island

Nope. This post is not about pink slime or unknowingly (or being fully aware of) eating snouts and anuses. Just a picture of a hot dog.

So shut up and eat your coney island.

If you really want to read about "advanced meat recovery machines" and all those lovely nitrates here's a  Scientific American article for you.

I for one will be having one of these for lunch. My #1 favorite vegan hot dog.

So shut up and eat your coney island.

Mark Twain with a Kitten

Mark Twain was one of the most photographed humans of his day.
You can see his work ruined by me (Adventures of Huckleberry Finn [Robotic Edition]) at http://DianiAndDevine.com.
But here he is with a kitten.

Here he is with his childhood home in Hannibal, Missouri. 

Leaning a bit unsafely on a chair.

As a fellow member of the messy desk society.

With a top hat! 

NO SHIRT!!!

At around 20. He hadn't figured out his look yet. 

Just a small selection. Wish we had some of Shakespeare. 

Botonist Bot

If you are looking for the perfect flower to get your Valentine tomorrow, this is it.

This Botonist Bot is the latest and greatest from Day Of The Robot (creator of Diani & Devine's Robot Jim)

Careful all you botanists out there!

The Scarlet Furies: Bury Me In Symmetry

I just got the CD of the Scarlet Furies new live album Bury Me In Symmetry that I pledged for on Kickstarter. It's pretty fantastic. 

I would like this band even if I weren't friends with the pretty one.
