Everything in its place

Emily Blincoe, an artist and photographer from Austin, Texas, creates some very visually pleasing pieces using everyday things. I like them.

They didn't get their own bedrooms..

When the Smith family moved into their new bigger house, a visiting grandparent asked four-year-old Tommy how he liked the new place.

“It’s great,” he said. “Now I have my own room, Alex has his own room, and Jamie has her own room. But poor mom is still stuck with dad.”

The language tree and the Nordic cats

I have always been fascinated by language. I came across this tree and an illustration of how one language in the same geographic area as a few others that have much in common turned out to have emerged from a completely separate branch. What this and the other languages in the area have in common amounts to nothing, zilch, nada, rien, niente and so on...

Happy birthday, Spike!

I hope Spike makes it to her birthday party...

There's a lot of icing on this cake!


Spike is known for having many, many cats:


And for growing yummy stuff:


Remember Spike's book of farts? The drum rolls? The Chinese fireworks?



We can have the usual array of pretty cupcakes:





Let's all help ourselves to a variety of drinks!



Cheers, Spike! Have a great day!
