Charlie Todd on a Frozen Prank !

This guy Charlie just invented
the WebSize Candid Camera

Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places.
Created in August of 2001 by
Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere
has executed over 70
missions involving thousands of undercover
agents. The group is based in New York City.

Thanks Charlie for such a great idea !

(ImprovEverywhere)

Hey, take a look at the other (more than 70) Happenings, or Missions...
or, even better, think about it and do it yourself !

Let's Fractalize Now

Everybody knows what fractals are... you just think to broccoli - you take the whole or the infinitesimal part, the structure won't change. Behind broccoli you find mathematics.

Every day at a few minutes past midnight (Wisconsin time), a new fractal is automatically generated by a variation of Julien C. Sprott's program.
The figure above is today's fractal with a code that identifies it according to a scheme described by Julien.

February 2008/10th' Fractal
February 2009/9th' Fractal
February 2008/8th' Fractal
February 2008/7th' Fractal
February 2008/6th' Fractal
(Older Fractals of the Day are saved in an archive).

Legendary Camel Spider !

This blog was primarily intended for publishing anything I like...
well,
today is 'Spider Day' because I've just found this...


As we just can't talk on and again about presidential love stories, fractals, UFOs, markets
evolution, mafiosi under arrest, Berlusco's devotion to money, hip hop, chaos theory, sacred
geometry, nightclubbers, popes, dahus, sashimis, or american elections... let's dedicate a few
line to these God's solifugae creatures...

They actually aren't spiders at all, they're solifugae. Along with spiders, they are members
of the class Arachnida and are called 'camel spiders' because they live in the desert. They
are somewhat of an urban legend and currently one of the most searched items on the
internet.


The camel spider stories began to spread during the 1990-91 Gulf War. Now, with the continued presence of U.S. forces in the Middle East, the stories are becoming legendary but most of them are completely untrue. These creatures are (usually) not dangerous to humans... (more)... except for their bites - I dare to say !


(by exspree).

A Matt Walker BBC article [on July 2010] explains, in a video, their hunting technique :
"
Camel spiders have evolved a unique way to capture their insect prey."

A Lighthouse in my Former Fief !

And nobody told G@tto !

I lived in this area for more than ten years and they just waited I was gone
to build this !
A brilliant idea for signalling a fish market so well hidden behind this concrete
wall that It took me a while to discover it, quite by chance.




A few weeks ago I fell on this and this in Eric's "Paris Daily Photo" so I just waited
for an occasion to return in my ancient fief and shoot this stunning tower.
Thank you Eric !



"La Criée du Phare" - 69, rue Castagnary/15e
[M° Plaisance or Bus 62].

Just behind the market there is the railway Montparnasse Station... see it ?
Fishes & oisters come to Paris straight from the Atlantic...

As a matter of fact, the music is from Guem's Le Serpent
(The Snake). I knew him in the 70th
as the Zaka Percussion's
leader,
at the American Center, and I still have pics of them
in my records
.

This is the latter Guem, but I remember the former Guem acting exactly
the same... in 1978.

Mona Lisa, aka Lady Lisa del Giocondo

Giorgio Vasari seems to have been right when, in 1550,
he called La Gioconda "Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo",
wife of Francesco del Giocondo.
According to some 1503 records found at the Heidelberg
University by Armin Schlechter, Mona Lisa identity
is eventually confirmed.


Leonardo da Vinci, La Joconde,
(1503/1506)
77x53cm - Paris, Musée du Louvre.






But the mistery still seems unfolded...

... following a Feb 3/2011 update :

Italian researchers who specialise in resolving art mysteries, pretend the disputed identity
of the model for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa... was a man.

Be trendy, marry a president.

Une tendance qui semble s'affirmer.

You are an ex-top model ?
Marry a president !
Look around you, there are still many left.

- Campbell, former top model, then journalist and then... Miraflores?

Prodi : "L'emergenza rifiuti è una vergogna..."

Mais entretemps un autre ferry-poubelle est parti pour Olbia (Sardaigne) où l'accueil sera
sans doute aussi chaleureux qu'à Cagliari et un autre chargement est prévu vers la Sicile.

A Cagliari, les opposants à ce type de livraison ont assiège toute la nuit la villa du président
de la Région autonome sarde, Renato Soru, qui affirme ne pas avoir eu peur.
Je suppose toutefois qu'il a
eu chaud...

"Coup de Cœur" at 4 am...

... because a friend's friend invited an Inuit family to spend 1 month in Paris.
The two daughters will probably sing traditional throat songs, katadjak, in my fief,
maybe at "La Locandiera" (145, rue Oberkampf, Paris XI) - If it snows...
which is possible this winter.



(Johnxxx20000)



(Isuma Prod)

Katadjak, or throat-singing, is a form of vocal-verbal art common to many (but not all)
Inuit (Eskimo) cultures.
Inuit throat-singing is done in the following way (click...).
