Probably breaking the law or something.
Yes, gorgeous. So much nicer than the roman alphabet!
That is awesome driving. I wonder how many cars he messed up before he nailed it.

Behold the 3Doodler, the worlds first pen that lets you draw 3D sculptures in real time.
How exactly do they create this effect? Obviously they're not taking multiple photos light years away from each other...
It actually describes the process in that link you quoted, but I'm pretty sure there are totally legitimate animations similar to those that aren't created with digital effects. As far as my tiny monkey-brain understands it, every year or so they point a big ass telescope towards the same spot in the galaxy, and over the course of several years they have enough photos to make a neat little animation. Not every star/nebula/space thing moves at the same velocity when the galaxy is "rotating", so as our solar system moves, we can see objects in the galaxy from different angles over the course of several years.

Tallest person in (recorded) history. His name is Robert Wadlow and he stopped growing at 2.72 meters. More in this gallery (German):

I guess that's why the German 'Spiegel' (link above) published the article today.

It's also a testament to how our preferences are not "correct" and are almost entirely a product of our times.
I really just think everyone has a type.

Is there anyway to get either of these as an animated background image for the desktop?
But the average "type" seems to fluctuate over time.
In other words, I think our preferences are significantly affected both by natural instinct but also by cultural influences that we cannot distinguish from our own "natural" preferences.
The ideal gets thicker then thinner then thicker again. Boobs are supposed to be big, then small, then big again. Some cultures prefer wide hips, others prefer leaner hips. Hairstyles go in and out of fashion. Tattoos do, too.
Again, not saying that each person doesn't have some say on what his "type" is. I just think people are much more influenced by popular culture than they realize. In a lot of ways, we cannot readily distinguish between the things we like because that's "in our nature," and the things we like because culture has trained us to do so.

I want to see what he looks like naked. For scientific reasons.
There is still hope for this sick and twisted world.

Ah, I was there! Somebody told me they used it for the Harry Potter movies. Anyway, it's really small but it has amazing wooden details.
