Pedal Car vs. Police

 Link Scroll down for today's pictures & links. Pedal Car gets pulled over The Blues Brothers might not consider it to be a good getaway vehicle, but if you feel compelled to drive one, be aware of the cops. They do not seem to like this (why, I can not fathom) url Today's pictures & links: Click to enlarge images. Inconceivable Turtle Upgrade Would you do this to your pet animal? This turtle probably does not mind, but it's still strange to see the slow-moving animal turned into this guy's private Salvador Dali crawling piece of surrealism. He "glued" fur on its shell, presumably artistically. You decide.  ------------ Retro-Space Art, one more I really liked this rarely-seen piece of art, called "Travel to Distant Worlds" (an illustration to Karl Gilzin's 1958 book). It is an understated, moody and mysterious piece.  (original unknown) ------------ Blue Lagoon (inside a rock) If you remember our article Fantastic Gemstones, this picture will add to the spectacular collection of nature's rocks. Irene Muller justly calls this picture "Blue Lagoon", waiting to be discovered inside a stone:  (image credit: Irene Muller, used by permission) ------------ Mixed fresh links for today: Eerie Sounds of an Aurora - [fascinating] Some Neat Streamlined Retro Tech here - [vintage] Mysterious Radio Number Stations - [interesting] Record-setting City Roads & Streets - [urban] Monkey brains control robot legs - [tech] Revolution in the Bedroom - [weird, sfw] Mug Shots: a fun pet photo contest - [cute site] Old, but still useful tip: ATM scam - [tip] Radical Bicycle Stunts - [wow video] ------------ Neat Job  ------------ Friends Forever!   ------------ Black-and-White Postcards, the Classic Way Pacco J. Pompei has a good collection of vintage postcards in his flickr set. He also does professional hand-tinting, his company in business for 25 years. He says "we employ only classical techniques... When history is written, those who have negatives and hand-developed prints will have works of Art that will be priceless."  Lourdes, France  Wernigerode a. Harz, Germany  Merano, Italy ------------ Intricate Nail Art From the "forwarded by grandma" department comes this series of nice nail art pictures:      (original unknown) UPDATE: According to Make:Blog, These are the works of Albanian artist Saimir Strati. The nail mosaic was named "The Largest Nail Mosaic" on September 4th, 2006. "I have lost count of the nails, but I think it was around 400 kilos (880 pounds) of nails. I have used different nails. The condition was they should be industrial nails and they are," Strati said. "My technique resembles (digital) camera pixels. I have used a nail for each pixel," he told Reuters. Permanent Link...

A lil' bit of rubber cement never hurt a turtle's shell. It will peel right off. Heck, it probably already fell off of it's own accord.
Now if only I could get that tutle shell to stick to my cat...
