Apple Jacks with Jack 'o lanterns. Which begs the question to me... Why didn't they call 'em Apple Jack-o-lantern's? Howlin' seems to miss the point, unless they actually scream or something similarly cool. I've heard to stay *AWAY* from these, as the cinnamon Pumpkins have a hard, unyummy consistency. See if you can find some seasonal Boo berry instead.New Orisinal Game - Cats (Basically Follow the leader)
This is a great site on Skulls from the California Academy of Sciences. And don't neglect to check out the Skulls In Culture section:
Skulls do more than just protect the brain — they also stimulate the mind. Often symbols of mortality and power, they have been employed in human ceremony, ritual, and art for tens of thousands of years. From the ancient animal skulls in Paleolithic burial sites to the curlicued cattle skulls that float like spirits over Georgia O’Keefe’s canvas mountains, cultures around the world have turned to skulls to express ideas about both life and death.Anatomy Books from the Bequest of Dr. Anthony H. Kelly:
Dr. Kelly was a surgery resident at Mayo from 1949 to 1953 before practicing in Sioux City, Iowa as a general surgeon. As an extension of his interest in surgery, he developed over the course of several decades a book collection which represents four centuries of the history of anatomical illustration.17th Century Gallery was illustrated by Bernardino Genga:
Bernardino Genga (1620 - 1690) is known for anatomical as well as artistic excellence in his works. This illustration exemplifies how art and science coalesce in anatomy.Fascinating work.
Vintage Belly Dance Postcards... I like the postcard pictured here because it looks so ghostly. The postcard page is part of Yasmina's Joy of Belly Dancing page:
Welcome to the world of Middle Eastern Dance or Belly Dance. This page was created to inform, educate and be a source of this wonderful dance form we love. Within these pages you will find a wealth of information on the history of belly dancing, costuming, books, videos, links, dancers directory, events, articles, spotlight dancer to name a few.Hmm.. My system seems to freeze here and there lately. Could it be time for big brain to get a major overhaul?
Man, forget Aibo. I want a little homunculus like Qrio. I think I'd really dig having a little monsterbot running around. I wonder how programmable it is?
It's nice, sometimes, to post something you know just doesn't exist anywhere in cyberspace. Something that's old yet is also new, the first ever digital incarnation of an object, or image. That's part of why I think that posting old stuff in my journal or in the encyclopedia online is so fulfilling... adding to the knowledge base.

Date: 2003-09-16 02:59 pm (UTC)I've always found such illustrations fascinating. There's a morbid and dark side there.
It's funny, every time I post a bellydance link, another one comes out of the closet on my friends list !
Happy to be a psychic search engine. :)
